So its November now, only one month left for this year to end.Although there are a couple of possible candidates that havent been released yet i feel it would be fun to share our thoughts on that and update the thread as i we go along...So far there are three releases that stand out in my mind:
-Fans Toys Stomp
-KFC Simba
-MMC Carnifex



Keep it civil,no condescending,no sarcasm be respectful

 

Stomp hands down. Best transforming toy I've ever owned.

 

Obvious but i can't disagree, except maybe to say stomp x! All blinged up he's even better  

Not mine personally but i think MT Pandinus should be in there, cos he's freaking awesome too.

 

My Picks for the year are:
-MasterMade Apollo
-Weijangs M01 AOE Optimus
-Maketoys Striker Manus

 

I remember last year Apollyon won.

KFC Simba will only be my second 3rd party purchase this year (mainly for budgetary reasons, the first being FT Shrapnel). I no longer collect CHUG and while Overlord is my favorite Decepticon of all time (specifically the Masterforce/original/G1 incarnation), I'm on the fence about getting Carnifex. But seems to be an outstanding figure.

Other candidates (none of which I own, but there seems to be general praise reading the threads)

Toyworld Devastator/Constructicons
Maketoys Despotron
DX9 Tyrant

 

MMC Carnifex
Fanstoys Stomp

Pandinus came out this year, right? If so, thats #3.

 

Was Andras this year? If so that would be my personal vote. If not? Not sure. I haven't bought a lot this year.

 

wei jiang mpp10 if it's allowed to be included the over sizing and change's made my favourite figure epic

others

ft stomp and willis

 

it was late lasy year. was a real darkhorse performer in the polls

 

FT Stomp
KFC Crash Hog
UT Buzzing

PS: Someone should also open a nomination thread for the worst figure of the year.  

 

For me:

- Wei Jiang KO OS Evasion Mode Optimus Prime
- DX-9 Gewalt
- DX-9 Mightron
- DX-9 Tyrant (was this 2016?)
- X-Transbots Andras (was this 2016?)

 

Stomp's going to take the crown, but I'd nominate:

FT Willis for an almost perfect 3P carbot, and
BB7 KO seekers for doing what TT should have done years ago to improve the mold and offer it at a more palatable pricepoint

 

was Planet X's FOC Grimlock a 2016 release?

 

Stomp. End of discussion  

 

Dx9 Mightron (The big one)
MakeToys Despotron
Cloud 9 QuakeBlast
KFC Simba
XTB Andras
MakeToys Ironwill


But so mave have come out and are still coming out it is hard to tell.

 

Some of these choices are not clicking with me lol. Simba?! Gewalt??? I thought we all were on the same page here. Stomp by a landslide people. The only thing wrong with that figure is the raised spot on his head for a faction symbol

 

Simba easily.

 

I've got Simba on the way. MP Star Saber is going to look so kick ass with him!!!

First "large" 3P figure I've bought since Andras.

 

MMC Overlord  

 

Stomp, nothing compares, nothing comes close to it. It is irrefutable!
