Voted for Dash Rendar. I would love an updated 3.75" figure of him, but would be ecstatic with a 6" version. 

[Tamer]

Thanks for voting folks, please spread the word and maybe we can get more.

The nomination period is now closed for characters. I think we have a pretty good selection to choose from. Now lets see which are our top 6!

Its time to vote! I am getting ready to send a new message here!

well maybe Tonnika sisters... or wait ... no Dr. Aphra?... Super battle droids.. but not her who makes/repairs them... seriously?.. does no one likes Dr. Aphra enough to nominate her? She's like one of the few comic characters I actually like since the reboot of the canon.

Dr. Aphra is my nomination!

[Tamer]

Ok the voting is now closed. I will pull the top six and do a quick poll if there are tiebreakers needed.

[Tamer]

Ok, the results are in and have been emailed to Hasbro!



1. Dengar
2. ROTJ Royal Guard
3. Bastilla Shan
4. Dash Rendar
5. General Veers
6. Republic Commando Scorch

So I decided to do some digging into the other sites to see their lists, because last year there was speculation that some characters were jilted. I was able to see 10 out of the 18 participating sites lists, from there I gave points based on what place they were in, 6pts for 1st, 5pts for 2nd, 4pts for 3rd... assuming Hasbro would likely judge it not just on the list, but what place each character was in.

#1 Jaina Solo at 35pts
#2 Starkiller/Galen Marek 27pts
#3 Hera Syndulla 20pts
#4 Darth Talon 19pts
#5 Gamorian Guard 15pts
#6 Mara Jade 15pts

The first two should be on the ballot for sure since they were also on the most lists, and Jaina actually winning a number of them. As I said I was only able to see 10 of the participating sites list though, so 8 more could tip the scale, this is just an inquiry I though others may be interested in too.

I was pretty happy with our choices even if I wished the vote were larger. Next year I am gonna try something different than the ISY Forums Format to see if we can get more votes. Perhaps there is a poll that works directly through Facebook.

I did receive confirmation from Hasbro that they got our six choices yesterday so thank you to those who voted!

[Mandalore25]

I'm pretty sure there is a way through Facebook, theblackseries did their's that way, but I didn't see it until it was over, so I'm not sure how it works. If I were to guess from my own facebook page it would be under creating a call to action. The member only requirement is a deterrent, people don't like signing up for things because all the emails, and other junk that can come with it. Perhaps we could do a member created list, with an open vote that way next year.

[Tamer]

Well I will have a year to figure it out. I am sure there will be some app that will work with a persons' fb or twitter id so folks can quickly sign in using those ids and vote. The more participation the better. Right now it seems FB garners the most interaction.

not sure where to vote from, but ANY republic commando. Plain white makes it easier for me to custom them instead of having to piant thinner one of the awesome premades.

The vote is now closed. Look for it to happen again around the week before SDCC next year.
