Forum Figure of the Year 2017 - FINAL

[SAVORY100]

Into the final straight... deserving of a bump

 

[Stuart Skinner]

A convincing 44-35 victory in the final sees the Princess crowned the 2017 Forum Figure of the Year. Apart from the tie with Jawa in the quarter finals it has been clear sailing for the woman in white.

FORMER CHAMPIONS

2017 - Princess Leia Organa
2016 - Emperor's Royal Guard
2015 - Boba Fett
2014 - Stormtrooper

The first good guy to ever win the comp. The first figure with a face to win the comp. Fitting the princess should win with the sad passing of Carrie.

There's been some cracking match ups this year. Hoth Stormie v Luke X-Wing, Stormtrooper v Vader and Yoda v TIE Pilot stand out from the second round. Stromtrooper v Fett and TIE Pilot v Farmboy live in the memory from the third round. Jawa v Leia was a corker in the quarters, whilst Biker Scouts victory over Fett in the semis was a belter.

It's been a cracking comp, voting has been for the most part nearly three times more than previous contests. Thank you to everyone who took their time to vote.

I always tally up a mini points system for all figures since I started this back in 2014. 10 points to the winner, 6 points to the runner up, 4 points for losing semi finalists, 3 points for losing quarter finalists, 2 points for losing third rounders and 1 point for losing second rounders. So with all four contests added up the current top ten figures in this sytem are as follows;

1. 19 points. Imperial Stormtrooper (Hoth Battle Gear)
2. 17 points. Boba Fett
3=. 14 points. Princess Leia Organa
3=. 14 points. Stormtrooper
5. 13 points. Luke Skywalker (Farmboy)
6=. 12 points. Biker Scout
6=. 12 points. Darth vader
6=. 12 points. Emperor's Royal Guard
6=. 12 points. Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot
10=. 9 points. Jawa
10=. 9 points. Yoda

Congratulations to the Princess, I predict 2018 will be the year of the short arse.

 

[lejackal]

And not to forget a massive thank you to Stuart for running the show, well done sir

 

[tobedesu]

Great stuff.
Thoroughly enjoyable few weeks.

 

[Darth Bobby]

Really good fun, thanks Stuart.

 

[Grant_C]

I love the stats.

 

[theforceuk]

Thanks Stuart has been great fun, we going to do a MOC one now. :lol:

Fitting tribute from the forum to the Princess.

Nice work Stu - another great competition.

As you seem to love the stats.. can you do a final table of all figures with the total votes cast for them in all rounds... obviously ( i think...) those in the final and semi will still top that table as they will have had the most chances to receive votes, but the cascade would be interesting to see top to bottom.

As requested by Stephen.

Quite interesting actually, that Leia who won the competition only received 1 more single vote than the Biker Scout over the Competition. Whilst TIE Pilot who reached the semi finals was 50 or more votes less than the other two beaten semi finalists Jawa and Fett, whilst luke Bespin abd Hoth Stormie eliminated in Quarter finals got more votes than him also.

Well that took a lot longer than I expected

 

[SAVORY100]

Thanks for sharing that, I think its fascinating
I'm also impressed with the sheer number of votes totalled up, says a lot about how much the forum figure of the year voting means to folk on here.

Exactly this, and the stats above are great.

 

[Pomse2001]

I am surprised to see

Anakin Skywalker and Bespin Security Guard (Black) both got 3 votes. I would have thought anakin was alone in the bottom :shock:

 

[rhyfelyser]

What a cracking effort Stuart does every year with the FFY. Great way to start the year.

 

[mumbo]

Great effort Stuart, hats off to you for running this beast 8)

I also have request, can we have a competition with the boxed items, vehicles, playset and beasts ? Could be cool to see
what members think is the best vehicle, playset or beast ?

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

What a great competition that was! It was an inevitable conclusion but the winner is worthy.

Top stats, Stu. Great reading. Thanks for (once again) sorting this out. Really good fun.

 

[TrisCompany]

Loved it. Great work Stuart.

Variant competition next?

 

[wrighty]

Little guy is on the podium!! 8)
