This is from a 3DS biased view, so I cannot give an insight into console but:
I noticed that a few (Mainly Skylanders with Weapons) have slight appearance changes as they level
I was curious if all have they own slight changes of it it was just limited to a few.

• The most obvious is Chop Chop - in the 3DS version his Shield and Weapon changes as he levels
  
• Ignitors sword seems to change slightly in the tip being Crescent-like
  
• Dino-Rang's boomerangs change slightly into 3 Blades
  
• Stealth Elf has the knuckle blades
  

Only other one I could see was Slam Bam's sprint changing into a Surf rather than a Gorilla-like run using its Knuckles. I know in the console version he gets Goggles and a Surfboard.

Do the Soul-Gem appearance changes go hand-in-hand with the 3DS changes?

Any info would be appreciated

Thanks!

(If there is a thread on this, please feel free to redirect me - I couldn't find it)

I have a few low quality pics of some of mine.

From what I've seen, almost all Skylanders get some sort of change to their character model when you choose a path. And for the most part, I believe that they do match the 3DS, although I'm unsure about Drill Sarge since the one I registered was the one with the rockets path.

Dino-Rang down the Earthen Avenger path gets armor reminiscent that of the ROAD WARRIORS. ROOOOOGGGH WHAT A RUSH!
Terrafin down the Sandhog path gets a CHAINSAW FIN
Bash's soul gem gives him a Triceratops style helmet.
Ghost Roaster's chain turns from a spiked ball into a kunai knife from the pain chain upgrade, I think it also changes on the 3DS version as well.

Ghost Roaster's pain chain does not change in 3ds.

This. I know because I first noticed the changes right before I started playing my Ghost Roaster and looked at him up close every level .. and nothing =/

Mmhmm, Trigger Happy's guns do change as you upgrade them.

if you choose the guns upgrade they do when you get happyness is a golden gun and golden yamato blast

Someone with PC version should start on an epic quest to screenshot each upgrade along the way and post them somewhere...

Id be doing this right now if I didnt fry out my Gaming Desktop last week...

Yeah, forgot about the guns. I forgot about the knuckles as well, for Terrafin. I do remember Ignitor having a different sword, when he goes down his Blademaster path.

Ignitor also gets a shield on his back at some point. I'm pretty sure it was his Soul Gem ability.

Yeah igintor's upgrade gives him an axe, but the path that improves that keeps it, while soul of flame gets a sword. ( I think I have that right)

muahhahahaha i will point out your mistakes and make me look cool! oh wait... maybe just a jerk...

^I'm not sure. Prism Break gets that crystal thing on his back, and pretty much every character's moves change. Cynder, Whirlwind, Zap, Eruptor.

What upgrade causes lightning rods' cloud to go grey/gray
