Double Dare Trigger Happy for me, if we aren't including Guest Stars.

Still Stealth Elf.

Countdown

It's interesting. I have a love-hate relationship with Magna Charge. I've by far spent the most time playing as him, but that's because when I started playing, my son had already beaten Swap Force, on easy, which unlocked Nightmare mode. Now, he's just a kid, so he doesn't have the attention span to realize that it being a challenge makes it more interesting. When I first tried it out, even Expert seemed a bit too easy. So I started out doing Nightmare. I quickly realized, despite the fact that the difficulty was about right, it was TIME CONSUMING. Hence, I looked for skylanders whose abilities would make it go quicker. Magna Charge was about perfect for that. Most baddies could just be picked up and chucked off a cliff rather than being shot a dozen times, I could speed through when there was nothing to kill, and I had a more-than-decent ranged weapon to take out anything that couldn't be thrown. BUT, he honestly didn't have the personality of a lot of the other guys, and I mean, he looks...like a magnet robot. Not aesthetically pleasing. So I didn't want to like him, but he was really useful.

It'd be really hard to pick out a "personality winner" because I really did split everyone else almost evenly after Magna Charge. I wanted to like Zoo Lou and Pop Fizz because they OOZE personality, but their gameplay is so cumbersome I just couldn't get into them. And there are a few like that.

If I were to try and choose one who balanced gameplay and personality most for me, I'd probably say Terrafin.

Not too hard to guess for me.

Baebella for life

Wildfire. No contest.

I'm gonna be that person and say... Spyro!

Boomer

Ninjini

Spy Rise is the best boy and I will fight you on it
Most powerful character in Swap Force hands down
Secret agent personality
The speedrunning god with Boom Jet's bottom half
Best quote "Dropping like flies"
Actually lets you see enemy life bars
He is the best

Ghost Roaster.

Sunburn.

Terrafin for me. Series 2 and Shark Shooter, I absolutely love both.

I should either go with Ninjini or Chill.
Chill was always the character I put on the portal first until Imaginators and with SSA I used spyro's first cause it's "Spyro's Adventure" after all and I think Hugo only has that one extra dialog for Spyro when he's put on the portal.
I'd probably say Ninjini was my favorite but I almost never use her because I felt too powerful when putting her on the portal.

Before I stopped playing frequently it was Wallop, but now that I've replayed them I had the most fun with my boy bushwhack, no contest.

FlashWing!

Stealth elf.

I'm incredibly surprised nobody mentioned Drobot. It's really hard to choose an overall favorite but I think he comes closest.

Spyro

Wildfire.

Either Pop Fizz or Pop Thorn.

TH, who is the best of course.

but which one?

Boomer, easily. Love goblins, Trolls are basically Goblins in this game.
He's got flavor, personality, a passable move set, and beard pants.

Plus as the only Troll to be a Skylander, he's got it pretty rough with killing most of his kin. Pretty tragic, as he's so happy all the time.

Eruptor!

Including guests, Donkey Kong.

Not including guests, Boomer.

And it's not just because they both throw barrels. That's just a weird coincidence.

Stealth elf for me as well.

If Squigly would ever be a guest star then Squigly all the way nobody @ me.

As of now Roller Brawl

Hard to say really. I'm with PJC613 on this and go with Magna Charge for practicality, although I also like Countdown, Spyro, Trigger Happy and Double Trouble. For total practicality and talent trees, I'd say Spyro or Double Trouble.

For practicality surely a character that can turn invisible to get behind enemies, is overpowered in many of the games, is one of the fastest characters in many of the games AND can heal herself after taking damage would be at the top of the list?

Most definitely Sprocket. I pretty much fell in love with her when I first saw her appearance, unlike most who were disgusted by her appearance.

Zap.

he was the reason for my namesake, and one of the first skylanders i ever got.

well, he wasn't exactly the first, but "GhostRoasterNorris" didn't exactly roll off the tongue.

Wow. Everyone in this thread misspelled Gill Grunt.

Pop Fizz all the way. Such a unique character

Well, you know... he's a crazy gremlin with basically Dr. N. Brio's skills ("carbon copy" if you think about it)... I like him and he's pretty fun to play as, but we can agree he's not precisely one of the most original characters in the roster...

Original, no, but unique? I think NSane Bandicoot has a point - what other characters in Skylanders have that Jekyll & Hyde-like transformation, or potion lobbing (which is one of my favourite archtypes for a character)? None, going off the top of my head.

Really, really tough to pick one absolute favorite. Ghost Roaster, Sunburn, and Chill were so awesome in the early years, but power creep was a very big thing in subsequent Skylanders releases. Snap Shot and Wallop were ridiculous, but they gave way to Aurora and Chain Reaction.

Wrecking Ball.
