I was lucky enough to get this figure as part of the Skylanders Giants Blue Nintendo Wii Console Bundle Pack as a Father's Day gift. I was hooked within a couple hours of playing.
Gnarly Tree Rex is, in my opinion, much cooler looking than the default figure that comes with the regular starter pack. The blue is nice and shiny, almost pearlescent, and I like that he's all the same coloring, instead of the red and green mix in the original. The coloring of the gun and eyes is somehow more appropriate looking too. Finally, the dark brown of the bark a more flattering look than the kind of washed out color of the original. His looks change as his skills improve too. He'll eventually get this really cool covering of pale yellow flowers on his back, and neat metal rings on his stumps. He ends up looking incredibly slick when all is said and done, especially with a nice top hat.
As for his powers, Tree Rex starts out with an amazing area attack where he pounds his fist into the ground, and a decent charge attack. His upgrades are nice too. The laser upgrade for his gun makes him an incredibly strong jack of all trades, with area, melee, and long-range attacks. He can acquit himself quite well in all combat situations.
Including Tree Rex as the main starting character was a great idea, because he is definitely the very best Giant overall between gameplay and appearance combined. And now people can re-experience the fun with a much better variant. Gnarly dude!

Myself and my kids really enjoy this variation. Both of my kids love the character Tree Rex from Skylander Giants (he came packaged in the original Giants game). This way they can both play as him as the same time (one plays the original Red one, the other this Blue variant). I like him the best out of the Giant characters because of his nice Area of Effect smash when there are lots of enemies, charge when its a big enemy, and laser cannon for when the enemies are far away.I would highly recommend this Gnarly Tree Rex as the Giant to buy if you are new to Skylanders and bought Swap Force and are looking to buy a Giant to unlock those extra treasure boxes (that seems to be the only thing Giant specific in Swap Force).
Overall: If you don't really care for Tree Rex or have him already, there is no need for this variant. If you like him and like blue, or if you are new to Skylanders with Swap Force and are looking to buy a single Giant character, I would recommend him.
