Forum Figure of the Year 2017 - 1st Round - Group C

[Stuart Skinner]

PLEASE CHOOSE THREE

Here is Group C and big chances for many underperforming figures. Han trench Coat and Luke Poncho have been the worst performing Han and Luke figures from previous competitions with both being eliminated in the opening round on all occasions. Luke Bespin has also underperformed in my opinion, a figure I love yet it has had two 2nd round exits and one first round exit.

Droopy McCool has being eliminated in first round since competition begun and only on one occasion each have Obi-Wan and Imperial Gunner cleared the first round to find themselves beaten in the second.

Zuckuss has been the most successful figure from this group reaching the second round on two occasions and only narrowly being beaten in the head to head of the first knockout stage.

Should be a tight group this, bring it on.

Luke Bespin for sure, followed by Imperial Gunner and Ben Kenobi.

Luke Bespin for sure, followed by Imperial Gunner and Ben Kenobi.

Can't argue with that combo

Luke Bespin, Luke Poncho (yeah, I know the hat mold is crap, but the poncho, belt and holster show a massive leap from the '77 figures), then zuckuss -because it took me until I was about 15 to work out where he was in the film!

Luke Bespin, Imperial Gunner and Zuckuss for me, easy options.

 

[mumbo]

Imperial Gunner - a figure I've always loved the look of
Zuckuss - love the sculpt on this figure
Luke Poncho - was split between Poncho & Bespin so went with the one that gave me the fondest memories as a child

Luke Bespin - arguably the best Luke.
Zuckuss - love the bounty hunters
Imperial Gunner - simple and imposing figure. One of the last I bought as a kid.

That's the ticket. Although I call Gunner over Luke cos he's badass.

 

[SAVORY100]

Zuckuss - He has a big gun, so big he can't hold it... how can that be a bad thing? Always loved this one, something super sci-fi about him
Kenobi - One of my favourite first 12 figures, a true classic
Imperial Gunner - Pretty much the only last 17 I actually like and more than that, I really like this one.

Luke Bespin- Grail figure for a time as a kid- seemed like an eternity before I found one in a shop. Didn't disappoint.

Imperial gunner- only one in my collection to be graded, always tempted to break it out- looks like one of the very best in the range.

Zuckuss- great sculpt and bounty hunter

Luke Bespin, Imperial Gunner and Zuckuss for me, easy options.

Same same. Seems lots of us picking these :wink:
