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

Stuart Skinner · Jan 15, 2017

PLEASE SELECT THREE

A tough little collective of figures for the final group in this round. Luke Farmboy has been the most improved figure since the opening competition, 2nd round exit in 2014 to Luke Jedi, Quarter Final elimination in 2015 to Yoda and then last year beaten in the final against Emperor's Royal Guard. Can he finally be the good guy figure to take the title. He will be up against some tough opponents however, Han Hoth may have been eliminated in the 1st round in the opening two years but last year he went on a dizzy crusade which was finally ended in the quarter final against the Hoth Stormtrooper. Tusken Raider has had both a second round and third round exit in the past, but for the final three; Anakin, Luke Stormie and Max Rebo it has always been a case of first round elimination.

Relatively straightforward for me...

- Luke Skywalker - First 12, iconic, simplistic... all the good bits of the early figure designs/sculpts for me.
- Han Hoth - If only for the fact you can holster his blaster... Love this figure to bits!
- Sand People - wonderful sculpt and again beautifully simplistic which makes it a classic

Exactly the same as me and for the same reasons really.

Han Hoth always underperform's, come on you can do it this year.

mumbo · Jan 15, 2017

Tusken Raiders - one of my top 3 figures, love the Raiders 8)
Luke Stormie - ok so the head is ridiculously small and looks nothing like Luke but a great figure with removable helmet
Han Hoth - just pips Farmboy

So the first round finishes and yet again the defending champion, in this case the Emperor's Royal Guard, falls at the first hurdle.

The other former Champions, Stormtrooper and Boba Fett, both progress to the knockouts as they look to take the title for the second time.

8 of the first 12 progress with only Obi-Wan, Chewbacca, Han Solo and Death Squad Commander letting down the opening run of figures.

No Ewoks progress, So Logray to date is the only Ewok to ever clear the opening round.

8 Droids figures progress, they make up a quarter of the draw, only one droid has ever gotten to the semi finals, that was R5-D4 back in 2015.

It has always been a bad guy that's won the competition up to now, can a good guy claim the title??? It is an even split for the last 32 as there are 16 good guys remaining and 16 bad guys remaining.

Thanks to everyone that has voted so far, there will be four matches up this evening.

There are some great and interesting stats there 8) Love the fact that it's a 50/50 split between good and bad.

Can this be LJ's year

Thanks for continuing to run this Stu.

Just out of interest are you able to confirm if there are more people voting than in previous years?

Stuart Skinner · Jan 17, 2017

Yes buddy, for first round we are having around three times as many, probably because people have been able to just click their answers without having to write anything out.
