Well, looking back, this was the latest update:
Owen Lars
Bollux
Ackmena
Bastilla Shan
Dak Ralter

and at that time Owen had 8 votes, it looks like. Since then, there was a -1 Ackmena + 2 Ackmena + 2 Dak Ralter and, it looks like Jocasta was tied to Owen's 8 with Scott's vote and is now at 11.

Who's Stan?

"Stan" is a Hasbro employee who occassionally drops bits about what's going on in development when he sees stuff. And, as far as I recall, he's never been dead wrong. Sometimes, it takes a year or two to see stuff out he mentioned, but it usually comes. BTW, Hasbro plans and tools the whole line over a year in advance...

Anyway, NEWS FLASH:

Ripped From The Headlines (Or Whatever)
8/17/2009 3:20:34 PM | Reported by Adam_May

Culled from Hasbro's own round-up of Q&A input some new items have been spotted in the passages. A new Attack of the Clones C-3PO will part of a second Target Geonosis Arena wave next year if the first wave sells well! The TWO Force Unleashed multipacks are confirmed — each with FIVE figures. There will be no direct "re-packs", just new figures, and significant repaints of some existing figures. Included will be TWO versions of Starkiller, Proxy, a variant of Juno Eclipse, and a few trooper variants.

A "super articulated" Bespin Han Solo is confirmed for 2010. Cantina alien Bom Vimdin is confirmed for 2011. Expanded Universe Anakin Solo (to go with Jacen and Jaina Solo) is also likely to come out next year or 2011. Hasbro has confirmed new versions of Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazan next year. A new Wuher is on tap for 2010 or 2011. [Editor's Note: Might these Cantina figures come with sections to make up the "distillery"?]

And to those that are going to say "we'd like to impress upon Hasbro how much we want the Tonnika... yadda yadda"...

Do we really have waste a spot for this?
Why not just add a little intro paragraph to your poll list indicating how highly the Tonnikas scored, but that you pulled them from the list because of the rules...

I've got another question for you guys, now that everyone's paying attention:

Why is your site contributing a list with so many results that have already been confirmed as forthcoming by Hasbro???? And ones deemed off limits by them... I was at Comic Con when this was announced, and they very plainly made it clear that Holiday Special figures (like Ackmena, whom I would love to own, btw) are off limits for this poll...?

On your list, I note the following figures that have been confirmed ALREADY by Hasbro:
Bom Vimdin (confirmed 2011, per Hasbro qna)
Tonnikas (obviously off limits)
Han Bespin (confirmed 2010, per Hasbro qna, and also reported in fall esb wave 2010 source)
Evazan (confirmed 2010, per Hasbro qna, also Stan has confirmed casting for new mold)
Ponda Baba (confirmed 2010, per Hasbro qna, also Stan has confirmed casting for new mold)

That there alone is 5 more spots you guys could open up for new figures, when these are already confirmed as forthcoming by not just "spies", but by Hasbro themselves????

It seems like you are wasting, quite literally, 20% of your figure nomination opportunites...

I don't know why the members here aren't more concerned about this waste of opportunity. Heck, we could get 5 more figures from this little poll in there and make EVERYONE happy. There are only a handful of figures in this thread with more than 1 vote...???

I was just checking out the posts and noticed this conversation and thought I'd chime in again...

I'm new here. But I've started posting and contributing a bit (or detracting, as one may feel...  :D). What makes you think all of the new guys aren't going to contribute in the future? I've already started, for better or worse  ;D.

And, as was previously pointed out in this thread, if you're not going to count the new members votes (whatever they are for) in an honest, fair manner, why are you posting the offer to join and vote on your front page? That seems pretty ridiculous that you would advertise for people to join and vote and then say their vote doesn't count...

I sincerely doubt that Hasbro had that kind of attitude in mind with all of this. And I wonder if you're new site ownership goes along with this idea to ostrasize the new members and their votes, just because you don't like them...?  :(

My vote goes to
Jocasta Nu

What a surprise! ::)

LOL...  :)

I hope you don't mind, but I've started a PM/email campaign to my fellow Jocasta Nu for Fan's Choice supporters over at Scum and SSG to let them know you guys are voting for 1 figure...

you guys can't seriously prefer an old shriveled man to an old shriveled lady,  ;D...

The Legacy Collection / Re: 2009 Hasbro Star Wars Fans' Choice

My vote:   JOCASTA NU


Question: Why are we accepting nominations for (Ackmena) and why do we have characters on our list (Tonnikas...) that have been put off limits by Hasbro for this poll... they stated at Comic Con that Toy Fair has been instructed to not even include these in the final poll... isn't this just wasting voting spots?

Off Limits:
Tonnika Sisters (either)
any character based on George Lucas himself.
Grebleips (the ET senators)
Tyvokka & Jedi Wookiees
any live-action character from the Holiday Special
