2016 Hasbro 6" Fans' Choice Poll Discussion

[Jesse James]

Toys in general are going that direction where there is "cheap" and then there is better but you pay up.  The 5poa vs the WM figures for instance.  It's just how things are now I guess.  But its how these designer toy lines like Acid Rain, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Vitruvian HACKS and such are gaining traction too...  They cost, some are imports and cost even more, but at least you get what you're paying for.

With Hasbro 3.75" I really wish they'd find a happy medium...  Sporadic articulation at $9.99 each.  Some SA, mostly not, nothing 5POA only though.  I'd be much more motivated on Star Wars I think. 

There is always something good though, to look forward to.  Not like the old days sure, but I've still found a lot of fun in Star Wars regardless.  The vast majority seem to hate everything anymore though.  At least in the collecting world.  Kids seem happy enough with the line.  It did pretty well in that regard, then fizzled as toy lines seem to do these days.

Nice list guys - I'd buy all of those in a heartbeat.  I'd still like Hammerhead above all others, but cool to see the remaining bounty hunters at the top. 

[Darby]

Hammerhead! Been waiting for him since they started these. And Jawas.

[Jesse James]

I can't believe how angry people are over voting for toys.  Good lord.  People are pent up.

[P-Siddy]

I really like Jeff's list.  I'd definitely like a retail release of Han in Carbonite, too.

Well, hopefully our little site doesn't skew the votes too much.   

[Brian]

Looks like the finalists are up for vote on Star Wars.com:

I can't say I'm overly excited about the choices, but I'm happy to see the fans get a say regardless. I'll opt for the character that is actually from the movies 

The finalists are:

Starkiller
Mara Jade
Jaina Solo
Captain Rex
Dengar
Darth Talon

[McMetal]

So four characters that don't exist and one that I'm almost positive was previously announced/strongly rumored at some point. (Rex)

Man, even the toy elections have crappy choices this year. 

Dengar FTW!

[Nicklab]

Seriously?  Well, GO DENGAR!!!!

[Brian]

Definitely Dengar for me as well. Aaaand so far he's in last place. I really don't understand the voting on these last two, at least in 3 3/4" we used to focus on stuff from the movies before delving into the EU stuff.

[Nicklab]

Wow.  Just looking at the current results, and Darth Talon is leading with Jaina Solo in a close second place.

[JediJman]

Well, I have to vote Darth Talon.  She was easily the best character coming out of the Legacy series and would look awesome with Revan.  I like that she's even a possibility given that the original EU was erased.  Maybe I will vote Dengar with my son's account...

[P-Siddy]

Dengar for me, too.  Gotta love the comments on the SW site.

[Nicklab]

Dengar for me, too.  Gotta love the comments on the SW site.

They're on par with the comments section of any news site.

[Jesse James]

Hmmm that's a pretty low bar...  I may have to peruse those for the rage.

I mean, 6" isn't my bag at all so I can't say I'm angered over the outcome...  I wouldn't be angered at the outcome if they were 3.75" either though.  It is what it is.  If this is what most want, so be it.  I'd not want any of these, in either scale, or comparable ones in 3.75", but I'm ok if that's the outcome too.

I dunno what to vote for on that list...  Dengar I suppose represents JD the best, but I kinda think Mara and Starkiller could make cool 6" figures too.
