Jedi Defender.... I love the polls you run every spring leading up to ComicCon... but in the case of ESB, at this late date the format of your polling begins to suffer. Truth be told, ESB has been
thoroughlycovered by Kenner?Hasbro.
Being a collector who typically favors new releases far more than resculpts, I fear your poll format--in the case of ESB at least (probably ROTS also)--tends to favor resculpts simply because there is so little left to do.
Seriously, I couldnt actually come up with ten new releases for ESB. The R2 units I listed below? Im not sure they were even in the move--but someone else voted for them a year ag0--and since Im always interested in new droids I listed them. But the point is: there are virtually no meaningful new releases left for ESB (and again, ROTS is almost there too).
For this reason, I wonder if in future years you may want to consider changing the categories. Instead of voting by movie, perhaps by army builders, and aliens, and droids, etc. Or something like that.
I recognize Hasbro tends to release in movie based waves... but perhaps a major fan site like yourselves mixing things up might lead to Hasbro eventually doing the same.
Guaranteeing ten slots in the final voting to ESB guarantees too many rescupts in the mix over new releases. And this, I fear, may further alter Hasbros perspective on what many collectors want.
In my case--that is NOT resculpts.
Anyway... consider yourselves 2 cents richer. Here are my votes:
1.Torryn Farr
2.Treva Horme
3.Wiorkettle
4.Lt. Sheckil
5.Lee Phenets (Human Ugnaught)
6.Tian chyler (female bespin citizen)
7.Albino IG-88
8.White, silver, and maroon R5 unit (Echobase)
9.R3-P5/yellow & grey astro (Echobase Control room)
10.Yellow & Black R2 unit (Echobase hangar)
