So the final of this years Forum Figure of the Year is finally here and will stay open for 72 hours starting from this point. Two new finalists make up this years showpiece as first 12 and early bird figure Luke Farmboy takes on one of my favourite figures in the Jedi lines Emperor's Royal Guard.
PREVIOUS WINNERS
2016 : ???????????
2015 : Boba Fett
2014 : Stormtrooper
Here is how both finalists got to the this years ultimate prize.
GROUP STAGE
GROUP C
47 points. Emperor's Royal Guard
44 points. R2-D2
24 points. R2-D2 with Sensorscope
17 points. Walrus Man
A tough opening for the ERG where he only just pipped Artoo to qualifying
GROUP W
56 points. Luke Skywalker (Farmboy)
42 points. Imperial Gunner
34 points. 2-1B
On paper it looked a real tough group but Farmboy Luke came flying through the early stage
2ND ROUND
Luke Skywalker (Farmboy) 14 v 12 Luke Skywalker X-Wing Pilot
Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight) 4 v 15 Emperor's Royal Guard
It was Farmboy's turn to have a close call match as he went up against the ever popular Luke X-Wing coming through by just two points, whilst the ERG battered what was considered a popular figure in Luke Jedi by a massive 11 points.
3RD ROUND
Luke Skywalker (Farmboy) 12 v 9 Death Squad Commander
Princess Leia Organa 7 v 14 Emperor's Royal Guard
A 12 back battle saw Farmboy come through comfortably but not as easily as ERG as he swept aside another opponent, this time in the form of the busty princess.
QUARTER FINAL
Luke Skywalker (Farmboy) 15 v 12 Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot
Emperor's Royal Guard 17 v 13 AT-AT Driver
Both figures came through comfortably in the quarters as they beat a couple of popular ESB figures in the last 8
SEMI FINALS
Imperial Stormtrooper (Hoth Battle Gear) 15 v 18 Luke Skywalker (Farmboy)
Darth Vader 11 v 12 Emperor's Royal Guard
Twice runner up Hoth Stormie couldn't make it three finals in a row as Farmboy came good once again, whilst ERG could only take Vader by a point to set up the big final. Can Luke Skywalker be the first good guy to win the competition
