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

[Stuart Skinner]

PLEASE CHOOSE THREE

I know the other two current groups don't finish until this evening but I'm out as of 1pm till late so putting up next two groups now.

Like previous groups there are a few figures in this grouping that have never progressed past the first round; Bossk, Barada, Emperor and Madine have always fallen at the first hurdle. Bib Fortuna has also fallen in the opening round on two occasions but did get out the group last year. However, R5 does have some pedigree when he made the semi-finals in 2015, although the following year in 2016 he also fell at the group stage. Should be an open group!


VOTING WILL CLOSE IN 48 HOURS

Someone voted for Madine. Come on, own up: who was it?

My picks this round:

- Bib Fortuna - One of my all time favourite figures. Great cape, great head sculpt, even the staff is pretty cool as staffs go.
- R5 D4 - Dare I say it.. actually prefer this fella to R2 D2 :shock:
- Bossk - great figure, great sculpt again, the proportions of his limbs were always something I liked... Cooler than Fett... maybe...

Barada, Bossk and R5 for me.

I love the colours on Barada. How simple am I :?

Can't understand the R5 love. **** Droid on the film transpired into me never wanting to have him as a kid. No weapon, no action, no good.

For me it's B, B and B

 

[Richard_H]

R5 - all the cool kids understand not the balding eccentrics
Bossk - only fault with Bossk is that he doesn't hold the weapon well
Bib - cape wins it. Great figure overall.

 

[mumbo]

Bossk - great looking figure and a bad ass bounty hunter
R5 - despite his failings in the film he looks cool
Bib - die wanna wanga, what a ****ing great line

 

[hellhippie]

bossk , the emperor , r5d4 were mine

 

[Commander Clint]

Bossk, The Emperor, & Bib for me

 

[Darth Bobby]

Bib- snappy dresser, great outfit and facial expression
Emperor- nice sculpt, bad attitude
Bossk- always been a favourite, such a great character, great sculpt and paint. Like the feet.

 

[Markzane]

Bossk- my favourite figure so have to vote for him
R5 D4- not sure why but just love this one.
Bib Fortuna- one of the exciting (the best?!) new Jedi figures, the designs were on another level to what had gone before with this one one of the best.

 

[Darth Bobby]

C'mon Bossk!

 

[TrisCompany]

Voted R5, Bib-imagining Burgundy cape and tri Madine.

RESULTS


1. 55 votes. R5-D4
2. 52 votes. Bossk
3. 40 votes. Bib Fortuna
4. 22 votes. The Emperor
5. 15 votes. Barada
6. 5 votes. General Madine


Another group where onlt R5 and Bib had any previous form. But it was in fact R5-D4, the 2015 semi finalist that takes the group victory. Bossk finishes second just three votes behind and had led the group for large portions only to be beaten by R5 in the last few votes. How R5 has qualified ahead of such a wonderful figure as Bib Fortuna is beyond me, I reckon Rich has made up some dodgy accounts to get him over the line.
