5. Eat Me Chestplate
See Eat Me Chestplate: Unfortunately there is no video that I can find showcasing this chestplate.
I had to include this one in the top 5 just because I find it so adorable and unique for a Rust skin. Most skins feel like they belong in the game, but this one feels like you should be working behind the counter in an ice cream shop.
