FORUM FIGURE OF THE YEAR 2021

[Stuart Skinner]

It's that time of year again, tomorrow sees the start of the Forum Figure of the Year as we look to see who will take the 2021 crown.

No figure has ever won the title twice, could this be the year that stat is diminished.

Will The Mandalorian give some love to certain figures, will Bib Fortuna when he was in his prime get some nostalgia? will 2015 champion Boba Fett have a fresh spring in his step? Will beaten 2020 finalist Yoda go one better because Grogu looks like him? Will Luke Jedi be the last figure standing? It will all be decided by the votes from this forum's users.

Three of the Seven former champions will all begin their campaigns tomorrow in the opening four groups.

FORMER CHAMPIONS
2014 - Stormtrooper
2015 - Boba Fett
2016 - Emperor's Royal Guard
2017 - Princess Leia Organa
2018 - Biker Scout
2019 - Luke Skywalker (Bespin Fatigues)
2020 - Princess Leia (Boushh Disguise)
2021 - ?????

Leia Boushh was certainly a shock winner last year and will give every figure hope, I know Paploo has been seen bigging himself up down the local chip shop.

Will update this thread when results and new fixtures are posted.

Bring on 2021 Competition!!!

Thanks for the great work with figure of the year. I really hope we will see Darth Vader, Yoda, Han Solo or Farmer Luke as the winner in 2021 8)

 

[quins]

Tusken Raider for me!

 

[Stuart Skinner]

First four groups are up over on the polls section of the forum. Five of the eight Ewoks already up fighting needing your support. Plus a good chunk of the first 12 (Stormie, Vader, Tusken, Luke) already locking horns.

Get over there and join the fight and back your favourite plastic figure. You know you want to, even if it does make you feel a little dirty.

Liking the new group stage format 8)

Think I missed this last year...

I'm going for an outsider this year. I think ROTJ figures get overlooked because they're usually cheapies ... but they've got some great sculpts I think ... anyway I'm going for ...

I was surprised that all of my votes were for the underdogs in this round! I wonder if people are voting tactically or to give other figures a chance
