I think the problem is that with polls like this, it's going to get the EU vote most of the time because it's a rare thing anymore to get an EU figure without winning a fan poll. Maybe they figure Hasbro's more likely to do Sim Aloo over an EU character so fans go that route. I don't know it's conjecture on my part.
I'm glad that those that want her are getting her, but she doesn't mean anything to me since I don't read the comics and books anymore. Just not enough time or interest anymore. To some, that probably makes me not a "real fan" but whatever. I enjoy what I enjoy.
I do hope that Hasbro revamps subsequent fan polls though. It's rather disheartening that half of the top six choices were disallowed with no reason whatsoever given by Hasbro... and they were, what?, 3 of the top 4? Next time (if there is one), Hasbro should specifically state which characters are allow and which aren't. Maybe give a reason, or not. Or as someone said, maybe Hasbro should put all of the figures on their parking lot and vote from there. Or do a tournament? Or do a rotation in media so there is diversity in the selections (OT one year, PT next year, EU next, ST year 4, Stand-alones, year 5)... that way everyone is placated.
Oh well, one can "hope" (Rebellions are built on hope)
