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
