The People's Picks (and Poppies!) Voting has begun!

[The Ringer]

Berserker!

 

[PRIME]

I dont get why sideshow still use the big head for their 1/6 figures dont they read this stuff...

 

[Darth Madden]

I didn't really get a chance to look him over til this last week, and I doubt many of the judges did either with such a low run. I still wouldn't put him above the Uruk-Hai though, but he is a very nice PF.

I missed the part in the list where you said review coming for Blackbeard so sorry about that. I'll give you Berserker for #1 but Blackbeard could have at least been 2nd.

I missed that too Mike, sorry; but Blackbeard is leaps beyond Terminator (with a poorly designed body structure) and Mystique.

 

[Michael Crawford]

I agree. But remember, I was really disappointed by the T-800.

 

[bearmodel]

When are the results up?

Oh, your picks are up...Good.

Looking forward to seeing Blackbeard Review....

 

[Michael Crawford]

Yep, my personal picks are up, and I have all the results now compiled for both the Poppies and the People's Picks. I just have to write them both up - I'm hoping to post them both tonight.

 

[LChinoz]

Great picks!

 

[sladesuperagent]

I think you need a 1/6 independent company section. There was sooo much cool 1/6 stuff this year, but the smaller companies can't hold a candle to the offerings by HT. But they shouldn't have to--smaller budgets mean smaller figure runs and more niche interest. Triad, Subway, Brother Prod., and Loading deserve some representation. Am I wrong here?

 

[Michael Crawford]

I posted the results of the People's Picks last night:

I thought I'd get the Poppies done too - call that an extreme underestimation.

I have a very hard time understanding the people's choices for the best statue.
DCD Catwoman in first??? the T-800 over the Berserker???

 

[galactiboy]

Maybe more people are fans of DC properties...than the others. I'd say Berserker was the best; but I could see a lot of people being put off as its not too pretty.

Its a great read, and I'm actually enjoying reading the older ones and seeing what was top of the heap in 2000. Man has the collecting landscape changed in 10 years

 

[The Josh]

Curious to see how the judges picks came out and where the items I voted for came out in those.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Why did Bowen Designs get overlooked?

It is kind of fun to look at those old ones.

 

[Michael Crawford]

now have the Poppies results, the industry awards, all tallied and written up. It makes for some interesting comparisons to my picks and to the People's Picks, which I posted earlier in the week.

My picks:

Thanks to all the voters and judges!

Interesting to see the extreme overlap in top choices... guess your judges are people too

 

[Hydeous]

This has made me want the iron man bust and the HT tumbler now

 

[Michael Crawford]

That's going to make Sideshow and Hot Toys happy

 

[Bezzerkerr]

Enterbay seems to get no recognition.

It's funny because i find their figures to be of higher quality when compared to Hot Toys.
