I think mine would have to be:

-Arkeyan Chop Chop Custom: Although I'm sure a lot of people have really rare figures, this one has struck me as one of my favorites because of how much time I spent into making it. First custom figure pretty much I've ever done, and a lot of love went into making him look just right.

-Flocked Stump Smash: One of the coolest promotional figures I've seen in quite a few years. Plus, I seemed to be one of the first people to get him, if the thread here was any indication. So that was kind of cool as well.

-Spyros: The entire reason I got into the Skylanders franchise was because it had one of my flat out favorite video game characters in it- Spyro. I grew up with the Spyro games (Spyro the Dragon was the first game I ever owned for my first console) so it was wonderful seeing him again. To heck with the haters I say! Less than 2 years ago, there was ZERO Spyro merch out there on the market, sans the plush from carnivals and stuff. So right now I think younger me would have a conniption that there's not only plush but Styluses, figures, toy sets etc etc all bearing the name of my favorite purple dragon.

Good write up! Interesting to read about your gems.
If you invest alot of time into a custom and it turns out well, I don't see how it could NOT be one of your favs. Nice work!
Looks like you could use Chrome Spyro at some point! I, too, love Spyro and love how the chrome figure looks. Check out T7gga's pic of him:

This may be more difficult using an iPod Touch, but try and see if following my previous instructions will help you.
BTW, I know right... talking about the Chrome Spyro! He DOES look amazing!!

First off, thanks everyone for sharing all of your gems! It's pretty cool to read how these have become your favorites.
I do have one critique, however... WE NEED MORE PICTURES or VIDEOS!!!

To post a pic:
1. The picture must first be uploaded to the internet ( Some popular sites are: imgur.com, photobucket.com)
2. Once the URL has been generated to where your pic has been uploaded, copy it.
3. Click on the "image" icon found above the comment window (the icon has the sun, tree, blue sky, and grass look)
4. Paste your pic URL within the [img]HERE[img] brackets.
5. Always preview first, by pressing the "Preview Reply" button.

^ Huh!? I guess I really never paid attention to this before? I assume the SSA slap bracelet, is in the same promotional giveaway realm as these SG items that are for sale:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/SKYLAN...=item41701b17c3

At any rate, I would also have to assume that the slap bracelet is pretty rare. Thanks for the pic!

Even more rare. They handed these out only at ONE local Walmart in my city, for one day only, for 3 hours that day, and even then they didn't have but about 10. I grabbed 4 and gave 3 to my kids and hung one on my wall.

I've tried looking on Ebay for these wrist bracelets, and no one has listed any... that I know of.

^ So you're saying it is one of the gems of your collection then!?!

I think you should put it in a small frame and display it better on your wall. It appears that it may be the rarest Skylander related thing in your collection.

GameMaster78 Emerald Sparx Gems: 3321	#60 Posted: 22:14:04 07/02/2013 LOL! It's funny, really, that something so small and cosmetic, could end up being the rarest thing one owns. I was hoping reps for Skylanders would be going around stores, handing out goodies this time, but they didn't. --- Wii U: GameMaster1178, XBL: GameMaster1178, PSN: megax28

Warnado: I forgot to put him here, but he's like Dark Spyro's "partner", I got him when he was sick, and he has a little cratch on his eye so he's like my Warnado. He's special to me.
I obtained Amazon Flameslinger in an IRL trade for simple Legendaries for him, because HE LOOKS SO DARN GOOD. He's the only Skylander I've traded for so I always remember him. He's also one of my favorite variants.
This Prism break in particular. His left shoulder is unpainted at the top and the armpit, so it's sort of a factory error, but I like it... Looks nicer than regular... I've had him for quite a while and Prism Break is one of my favourites as well.
Series 2 Chop Chop: Because he's just so. Darn. Cool. He's, without a doubt, my most played-as Series 2. I do wish he hadn't been buffed up so much in Giants, though...
I've played a ton of a lot with Pop Fizz. Overall, he's just one of my favourites.
I got that custom Fright Rider last year! I saw him on the custom thread,and I happened to be getting another custom from the same person, so I was lucky to grab him! He's one of my favourite Skylanders, and this custom looks awesome. Thanks! I still love both!
Chill is right up there for me. In my top 5, easily. I don't care about how plain her figure looks, she herself is epic.
Flashwing: Purely because I hated her before I had her. She really, really surprised me upon actually playing her, and I don't like her as much now, but she still has that going for her... Showing me what an ignoramus I am.
Pearl Hex actually has a story behind me getting her, I ordered one to keep sealed, but it was super damaged, so sender sent another. I opened the one I had. ... New one did still not come without a bump at the bottom.
Glow in the dark Fright Rider looks cool, he's pretty darn rare, and it was a great feeling getting my first rare variant that I DIDN'T get on eBay. Also first Giants figure I used.
Gnarly Tree Rex is the reason I have a PS3 now, looks gorgeous, my favourite Giant, also, bragging rights eheheh (And I don't care about whether or not people care about it)
Custom Sprocket: Thank you Opheilkos! <3
Trigger Snappy is my favourite Sidekick and belongs in Tech, my favourite Element. HE'S SO CUTE! AWWW!
That custom Drobot on my custom 3DS Portal was the first figurine custom I made ever! I didn't expect to work on it as much as I did (inf act, he was originally going to be just a color test) but I'm very pleased with it.
3DS Tech Portal: I made it to match the big Wii one, and I really couldn't be happier with it unless I customised stuff besides just the colour, which I unfortunately can't right now. So I'm pretty darn happy with it, also I can actually use it.
Dark Spyro Single: With no doubt at all, my favorite sealed Skylander. EB Games gave 500 of him away in a colouring competition. I won one of them. It will be in the box forever. (fyi it's a single peg with no stickers and has a barcode)
See that Sprocket at the back? Jin Saotome made it. It is bloody awesome, it is still my absolute crowning jewel. I have to be very careful with it, but it...
Unfortunately I can't use that big Tech Portal, but that makes it <0.000000001% less awesome. The metal gears interfere with the USB sync so it can't be used, but the painting is spectacular and cannot be faulted and that feeling of IT'S MINE! I nicknamed it the Artchulated Portal, geddit?
... Because he was my first Skylander.

Fine, top 3.

#3 Artechulated Portal: Because it's THE. FREAKING. ARTECHULATED. PORTAL. I got it with my #1(which is super obvious), and I even nicknamed it the Artechulated Portal before I bid on it at all (sorryguys, at least I didn't bid on V2 Warnado which I also wanted :<)

#2 Dark Spyro: He's my first Skylander, and nothing in the franchise can recreate that feeling. Whenever I got a new Skylanders game he was always the first one in it.

#1 Saotome Sprocket: Because Sprocket is my favourite Skylander, because Jin's custom's are epic, because I got it with my #3, etc.
