IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SKYLANDER OF THAT ELEMENT OR TYPE, YOU MAY SKIP IT.


Here are mine:
Light: Don't have a light SL
Dark: Same as light
Magic: I only have one magic so I don't want to say he is bad until I try another magic
Fire: Blast Zone. I've only made one good swap with him. He's weak and his health isn't good.
Earth: Bop. He's so weak. Just a filler.
Water: Gill Grunt. So. Weak.
Undead: Funny bone. 'Nuff said.
Tech: I love all my tech, but, Drill Sargent takes too long to reload.
Life: Shroom Boom. I hate him so much.
Air: Lightning Rod. Too... Odd.
Worst core: Gill Grunt.
Worst Giant: Thumpback.
Worst swapper, Freeze Blade.
Worst TM: Short Cut. (Don't own him, but my cuz let me play as him when he visited us and we played TT.
Worst Sensei: Don't have S:I.
Worst Villain: Buzzer Beak.
Worst Vehicle: Don't have SC yet.
Worst Varient: My green GillGrunt.
Worst Mini: Bop.

Life: Stump Smash - Maybe it's becuase he's extremely slow and a melee fighter, but I just can't survive for too long with him. I normally just spam his hammer smashes and barely use the acorns.
Air: Jet-Vac - I admit I don't despise him anymore thanks to Academy, but I still think he's the worst Air Skylander. His projectiles are somewhat good, but his sucking ability usually just makes me take damage and the flight is useless anyway.
Undead: Fiesta - Don't get me wrong, I love Fiesta as a character, but gameplay wise he's just bad. His attacks deal way too little damage and I still haven't figured out for what his third attack is good.
Magic: Wrecking Ball - Barely any control over the rolling attack and the rest is just too weak or close ranged.
Tech: Jawbreaker - I gave him a chance, but he failed miserably. The range is sinfully low and the speed only makes it worse. He may hit heavy, but he'll be out before he even gets to the enemy.
Water: Gill Grunt - There honestly isn't anything good I can say about this character. He's sinfully slow and his attacks either just focus on one enemy, or are too slow to take out more.
Fire: Ka-Boom - The range has a lot of potential combined with the explosive power, but the fact that he can't move throughout most of his attacks makes him unplayable.
Earth: Rocky Roll - I just despise this character with a passion. His attacks are slow, clunky and hard to control. That's all a character needs to be on my regret pile.
Light: Astroblast - This is basically just a "take the one you prefer less than the others" thing. His attacks could deal more overall damage, but I like him and his attacks can be combined pretty well.
Dark: Knight Mare - This one's hard since I don't dislike any of the Darklanders. I admit Nightfall is somewhat weak, but you have to play startegically with her to destroy some enemies. Knight Mare does have attacks that tower in damage, but those are way too slow most of the time. I love all of them nevertheless, just the two ladies could get a little damage boost.
Core: Rocky Roll - Read above.
Giant: Eye-Brawl - I'm honestly not a big fan of any of the Giants except for Ninjini, so I just took the blandest one. His attacks do have a wide range but don't deal enough damage and he's way too clunky to avoid enemies' attacks.
Swapper: Wash Buckler - I guess he's not that bad if you use him right, but I can handle all other Swappers better.
Trap Master: Ka-Boom - It's not Head Rush, she actually does have some use in my collection! Basically everything I said for Fire.
Sensei: King Pen - All Senseis really surprised me so far, except for him. I really didn't expect anything since I knew there would be much better characters, but he's not that bad. He has pretty fast attacks and can hit multiple enemies in a fast pace.
Villain: Slobber Trap - I think I don't have to explain this one.
Vehicle: Reef Ripper - Every Sea Vehicle seems like crap after Sea Shadow, but I don't like this one. The electrecity attack just slowed me down instead of heavily hitting an enemy and the tridents are way too slow.
Variant: Legendary Grim Creeper - I'll just take the one which I like the least look wise since that's the point of Variants.
Mini: Pet-Vac - Same reason as for Jet-Vac.

Life - Zou Lou - nothing I like about him at all. hat ethe design, hate the gameplay.
Air - Lightning Rod - I don't really hate any of the gameplay of the Air skylanders but I just don't care for Lightning Rod's Design i guess.
Undead - Fiesta - I have to go with this one too. I'd put him down as one of the worst skylanders gameplay wise.
Magic - Pop Fizz ! - Yes it has something to do with the heroic challenges with him as I find most of them Easy except with him. I don't like the character and don't like his gameplay.
Tech - Wind up - not fun to play as, didn't like either of his paths.
Water - Rip-Tide - I think Undead and Water usually have some of the most fun characters and with that I don't really dislike Rip-Tide but he's probably my least favorite water skylander to play as.
Fire - Eruptor - until I played Pop Fizz he was my most hated skylander. I still dislike him, he's not fun. He's slow and his attacks really aren't powerful enough for him to slow.
Earth - Rocky Roll - don't enjoy playing as him
Light - Astroblast - All light Skylanders are awesome including Astroblast. Just he's in last place of them all
Dark - Starcast - SAME AS ABOVE! Last place, still love the guy.
Swapper - Fire Kraken - Had my favorite design of the swappers but I didn't enjoy playing as him.
Trap Master - Blastermind - I don't really like Blastermind but I do enjoy that he has that power to unlock puzzle locks. Otherwise I don't like him and he's the only Trap master I dislike.
Sensei - Chompy Mage - he was just wrong to be picked as a bazooker. He's still fun but right now he's probably my least favorite.
Villain - Slobber Trap - needs no explanation.
Vehicle - Thump Truck - I guess.. i'm not a fan of any of the vehicles.
Variant - Bushwhacked? i guess?

Life is just boring, redundant and really doesn't hold a stick to any of my other favorite life characters.
Undead really disappointed me and was truely the first Undead Skylander to actually let me down.
Magic doesn't do much for me and really should have been the one to get a wow pow.
Tech was so bland and too intricate to be fun and other cores would learn to not be too gimmicky.
Fire sadly was only on my team because he was the only fire core I got in the first game and after that all the other cores I got were much more fun to play with.
Water was not that fun to play with and dang did he just get annoying with him getting a repose every single game after that.
Earth kinda seemed too straightforward for a guy who had a very cool weapon. I wish he had more techniques than simply being centered around his chain ball.
Air was just out of place and seemed odd he somehow managed to get reposed over the more popular .
Dark No one is bad for me in this element. I only have two characters and both are just too awesome to hate.
Light was so boring and he is a light character. I almost wish just remained a light supercharger while Astroblast was tech instead honestly.

Core again
Giant sadly because the other three of mine were more fun. Almost said , but then I took his better path.
Swapper tied between and both were not that fun to play with and both just didn't have much going on for them.
Trap Master was so bland and was boring compared to the rest of my team.
Supercharger
Sensei not because he's bad per se, but he was less fun to play with than all the other senseis currently. Still a good cast nonetheless.
Villain Slobber Trap because we all know by now.
Vehicle Reef Ripper just really doesn't do much let alone stack up against all the other sea vehicles.

Yeah, from what I hear, Stumpy isn't good.
Same, Academy is he only thing that saved him from being put on the bottom of the tub.
I don't have SC, but my friend does and he says Fiesta is really bad as well.
That blue glob... Guh...
Yeah, I wanna get him, rather get Knight Light single pack though.
Same, Gill Grunt is just son unappealing.
Now, I kinda disagree, Ka-Boom is somewhat weak, yet he's still a trap master. I find Blast-Zone to be way weaker.
I agree with everything from that point on.

life: Shroomboom ( just don't like his playstyle )
undead: Fiesta ( love the design & personality, but he's pretty weak )
tech: Drill Sergent ( just not fun to play )
magic: Wrecking Ball ( I hate Blastermind as well, but Wrecking Ball is just awkward to use )
light: Astroblast ( slow and weak...that kick is utterly worthless )
dark: can't pick, they're all good IMO
earth: Smash Hit ( just really bland )
air: Warnado ( awkward, and a bit slow )
water: Riptide ( like Shroomboom I just don't like his playstyle )
fire: Eruptor ( seriously, how the f is he popular? he's slow and awkward to use... ) and Fryno ( awkward and not fun to use )

Giant: Bouncer ( I like all the giants, but Bouncer was the least fun to me )
Swap Force: Boom Jet ( awkward attacks to use )
Trap Team: tie between Ka-Boom and Blastermind because awkward
Supercharger: Astroblast ( see above )

Earth: Crusher (with Slobber Tooth and Rocky Roll close behind)
Fire: Eruptor (with Flameslinger as a close second)
Life: Oh man, so many... Shroomboom jumps to mind first, but I can't stand Stealth Elf, Stump Smash, Zook, Tree Rex or Bushwhack at all.
Light: Astroblast. Slow, weak and boring.
Magic: Conversely, most of these are pretty good... since I have to pick one, my least favorite is probably Deja Vu
Tech: Drill Sergeant (with Countdown as a close second)
Undead: Fright Rider... like Knightmare, he looks awesome, but isn't fun to play... (Grim Creeper is a close second, same reason)
Water: Rip Tide + Dive Clops (tied)

GAME/SERIES SPECIFIC
Spyro's Adventure Core: Eruptor

Magic: Wrecking Ball - He's bad, moving on...

Alot of people seem to dislike Knight Mare. I had no idea she was that bad of a character.
I don't own SC, but from gameplay vids on YT, Astroblast looks great!
I hear that about Wrecking Ball alot. I do want to get him though.
I have him, his stone beam isn't so great either.
Alot of the TT characters were fillers so they could have characters in the later waves. Torch is one of those.
I got Chopper in that 2014 holiday bundle. He's... meh.
I want to get wham-shell, but I have to wait to get $25.
Everyone says that about him, makes me wonder...
I think she's pretty good.
Again, Academy is the only thing that saved him from being put at the bottom of the tub.

Again, Blast Zone is way worse.
I haven't tried Thunderbolt.
Slobber Trap is terrible.
I hear Power Blues are bad because they support Autism Speaks? Not sure what that is.
The only good thing about minis is the fact that they're a cheap way to get sidekicks for the older games, which were quite rare.

Well this seems like a good thread to make my first post in!
I don't hate any Skylanders. There are some I like less than others either for looks or play style. So my least favorite are:
Life- Shroom Boom. He's not un-playable, but he's close to it.
Undead- Funny Bone. A blatant attempt to copy the success of Hot Spot. A failed attempt.
Earth- Prism Break. His third figure was somewhat better, but there's just not much you can do with him.
Air- Lightning Rod. I really wanted to like him. But he's just so lackluster.
Magic- Wrecking ball. With some work he could be great. As is, he's nearly un-playable.
Tech- Drill Seargent. Like Wrecking Ball, he needs a do over.
Fire- Fryno. So excited for him, but he just couldn't measure up to Smolderdash.
Water- Chill. Too weak for her style of gameplay.
Giant- Ninjini. She's too slow to have the attacks she does, and her bottle move is pretty useless.
Swapper- Boom Jet. Just not good.
Trap Master- For someone who uses running as mechanic, she's too clunky feeling.
SuperCharger- Fiesta. Poor Fiesta. The best design for any skylander, ruined by the worst game play of them all.
Sensei- Wolfgang. Of the ones I have played so far he is the. Worst. Making him an Archer instead of a Smasher was just a bad idea.

Wrecking Ball and Fiesta.

Air - - Could never get a feel for this guy, and just didn't like how he played.
Dark - - Don't get me wrong, I like her design, but I just don't like her as much as the other Dark characters.
Earth - - Probably has the blandest design and gameplay of the Earth characters.
Fire - - Don't really hate him, just don't like him as much as the other Fire characters.
Life - - Just kinda basic.
Light - - Slow and his only useful attack is his primary.
Magic - - Same as Stump Smash.
Tech - - Same ad Stump Smash and above.
Undead - Tie between and - Both of them have creative designs, but are REALLY lackluster in terms of gameplay.
Water - - Too bulky and attacks aren't really that great.

Core - - Reasons given above.
Giant - - Same reasons as above.
Swap Force - Don't really hate any of them.
Trap Master - - Useful for lock puzzles but not the best choice for combat.
Supercharger - - At least Dive-Clops has some power behind him.
Sensei - - It's not that he's awful, he's just not as much fun as the other Senseis, and I don't feel like he was worth the Amazon bundle actually.

Light: Aurora. she is by no means weak, just not my thing.
Dark: Blackout. he's alright but I only have two darks...
Air: jet-vac. but thanks to academy, I'm willing to give its SC variant a chance.
Earth: Terrafin. ever since the attack speed nerf, he's never been the same.
Tech: Sprocket. the setup time for turrets take way too long and her melee attacks leave something to be desired.
Magic: regular pop fizz. while the monster form is pretty good, it's severely weakened by the time limit.
Life: Stump Smash. I feel like I'm better off shooting acorns instead of smashing things.
Undead: Grim Creeper. in my eyes, Hood Sickle has essentially replaced him.
Fire: Ignitor. he's okay, sunburn might be weaker but I like him so that makes me ignore all his faults.
Water: Chill. she just doesn't gel with me.
core: Stump Smash.
Giant: Thumpback. although most of his problems can be solved by jumping, he's still plagued with the giant hurtbox.
Swapper: Stink Shadow. it seems wasteful to change his stealth to an even weaker one.
Trap Master: Gusto. for some reason he keeps glitching on me. even without that, he's still underwhelming.
Sensei: Aurora.
Villain: I suspect Pain-Yatta is going to become this but for now; Hood Sickle. he's still very powerful.
Vehicle: Tomb Buggy. it has to compete with the almighty Barrel Blaster.
Variant: don't have any and never will.
Mini: don't have any.

Light: Knight Light (seriously nerfed in Imaginators)
Dark: Knight Mare (seriously nerfed in Imaginators)
Air: Jet-Vac (completely useless, and got nerfed in Imaginators)
Earth: Smash Hit (seriously nerfed in Imaginators)
Tech: Drill Sergeant (horrible in every game)
Magic: Pop Fizz (oh my god so useless)
Life: Shroom Boom (can't aim his mushrooms properly and his mushroom wall is useless)
Undead: Funny Bone (HORRIBLE. JUST HORRIBLE. NO WONDER HE'S CALLED FUNNY BONE. YOUR FRIENDS WILL FIND IT FUNNY THAT YOU KEEP DYING AS HIM.)
Fire: Eruptor (i can't aim his lava balls properly)
Water: Gill Grunt (can't aim his harpoons properly)

Core: Funny Bone
Giant: Hot Head
Swapper: Trap Kraken
Trap Master: Blastermind
Villain: Tussle Sprout
SuperCharger: Astroblast
Vehicle: Stealth Stinger
Sensei: Chompy Mage (not very creative)
Variant: Why list a variant? It's basically the same thing as the normal character, only a different color.
Mini: Weeruptor
