    Maketoys' Cross Dimension line has blown me away. No other line will come close for me until GCreation's IDW line steals my heart. But even afterward, Cross Dimension will be a close second.

    I vote Rioter Despotron. I don't own carnifex yet but he also looks awesome

    Cold hard math. He didn't get the nominations needed to make the list, but he does get a mention in the End of Year Review.

    I too prefer Gundog to Willis, probably why it made the short list in 2015 when it was released.

    KBB MP10v was nominated a handful of times, nowhere near enough to get it on the list. Even if it had it wouldn't have counted, as I disqualify over and under-sized KOs of official / existing molds. Sorry. Glad you like the figure though, and in the end, isn't that the important bit?

    I wonder if these need to be sticky'd to the front page. They keep disappearing.

    I'm curious...do you also disqualify same-sized KOs?

    We managed to get the nomination post stickied, and had less nominations than in previous years. :(  Apparently sticky posts are harder to see with mobile devices.

    I disqualify all over, under and same-sized products as these could be considered counterfeit goods. I don't want to get into a philosophical debate about the legality of 3P though, haha, people totally are free to buy whatever they want to. I largely do these surveys out of personal interest and as market research for those 3P companies who design and release original product.

    I've voted for Stomp as he just edges Carnifex in my personal list for the year, although MakeToys Ironwill is my favourite 3P product of the year but sadly he didn't make it onto this poll. Stomp it is, then.

    All the best

    I voted for MMC Carnifex, as out of all of them he's the only figure I might have any interest in. Very difficult to choose a winner when you don't own any of the nominees... especially when you've got a touch of sour grapes as the one nominee you do own and love was removed for "reasons".

    Sod it... In my heart I'm still voting for Gravity Builder.

    I don't disagree with your approach, I was only asking because you had specified the over/under-sized ones and I wanted to get clarification. Thanks.

    I voted for Stomp because he would be my second choice. My first is Gigapower Grassor but I see that is not an option. Well I'm sure Stomp will win TFW2005's TOTY but Grassor is MY OFFICIAL TOTY. :)

    No problem. I'm not saying my methods are flawless or even correct, but I've tried to be consistent year on year at least. :) 


    Gigapower just didn't get the nominations needed to break the top three. :(  Came close though.

    Forum only allows for 10 poll options I believe, so Sid has gone for the ten figures with the most votes in the nomination/write-in phase.

    Simba came sixth in the MP category, which is a shame as it's a good toy, but not that surprising considering how many people balked at MP Star Sabre the year that was released.
    Still, in the Year in Review you'll see exactly how KFC ranked overall, and it's good news :)

    Voted Carnifex. However I would of voted for Stomp if he had an abdomen crunch. Just being picky of course.
