Sorry dude. I was all about a Kit Fisto bust.

I went with Veers for the mini-bust, but that was before I saw your request. Sorry Rob.
Done. ;)

So, is this a one vote per person thing, or is it American Idol style? Because I was just (apparently) able to get in two separate votes (I did the Bib for you, Rob). I didn't put in an email either time. Anyone know?
Ackmena needs as many votes as possible!
I would not be so quick to say that there were any kind of shenanigans regarding Jocasta Nu. She's ranked fairly high in figure polls over the past few years. And I think that given some remarks from a certain Hasbro staffer (who has moved off Star Wars to another line, btw) in opposition to Jocasta Nu has somewhat galvanized the collecting community to back the Jedi archivist.
There's still the matter of ToyFare's poll to take into account. And that can still shake out any one of a number of ways.
For that to happen at over 20 Star Wars collecting sites that had different criteria for conducting their polls? Then it starts sounding far-fetched. Especially since some sites were only accepting submissions from forum members who were registered before the Fan Choice Poll was announced.
I spoke with some administrators at a few other sites and they too flushed out the "cheaters", but I didn't speak with everyone at every site, and I noticed the same stuff went on at other site's forums.
Some seemed to catch it, others did not, or didn't pay close enough attention to bother. The same sock accounts were turning up at most boards though, so it's no shock this was fairly wide spread.

No animated style figures made the cut? :-\
Meh, so much for my interest in this poll...
I can't believe Corde and Dorme are on the list. Are there really that many fanboys with semis for these two snoozer characters?

I don't think that's too surprising. The line is so new (relatively) that any animated "winners" would have already had an excellent shot of being produced anyway.
I was really hoping Ackmena would at least make the list. :-\

I was shocked to see Jocasta Nu wasn't here, she got so much attention for a while and it looked like she would make it onto the list.

But I did notice one glaring absence from the list. That being Cin Drallig. I thought he had scored well enough on most of the polls to make it to the finals. Perhaps Hasbro scratched him because he's already on the way? Hmmmm.
JACK, way to go calling him out on it. I'd like to see more people over there that would be willing to do that.
It takes huge balls or utter stupidity to actually whine about voter fraud when I run out of fingers counting the number of sites he was spamming and creating sock accounts to stuff the ballot box for Jocasta Nu. I believe that may be Webster's new definition of "Loser".
The only thing is that you can vote multiple times. :( Jocasta Nu could conceivably win.
I think this is HILARIOUS (http://threads.rebelscum.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=3956512&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=93&vc=1)
Dude who was orchastrating the JOCASTA NU (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=19594.msg440341#msg440341) bs is complaining about voter fraud...that is rich
If it's Jocasta Nu we should all demand a recount. :)

Agreed. We should also demand a recount if the two utterly useless Naboo Queens win . Just because slots are so scarce now we cannot afford to lose any.

Or put all three of these into an evolutions set and call them "SW women no one cares about!"

In Luke's voice: "I care."
I'd probably buy them if they made them (I bought Breha after all), but I would certainly live my life just fine if Aplilana/Jamilla never get made.I've been doing a little JD Wishlist updating lately and the following are huge outliers which scream shenanigans on the poll:

And to a lesser degree:

Taym Dren-garen
Everyone else on the poll at least sniffs the JD top 10s. Now I realize JD is a sliver of the overall collecting public but those first 4 were huge bullcrap and there had to be some fraud going for them.
I was really hoping for Bastila Shan or Guri (mustard/purple outfit).
So is the official count over?
OK...this is the reason you don't let ToyFare run these polls. Do you honestly think that four of the most popular unmade characters are EU?
Come on Bastilla Shan!
Is Jaxxon that ******* rabbit? If so, epic fail...
Man...even the Top 10 makes me sort of puke ::)
I'm a big EU fan, so probably more excited to see some of these like Nick. That said, I could easily do without ever seeing 75% of that list.

I'm not sure if it's legal to be a big EU fan if you haven't read the Thrawn trilogy yet. ;)
I will also say that I realize that our site and a few others out there not named Rebelscum are more of the old guard collecting since78 type people who are a lot more interested in the OT over the PT over anythign else. I get that...but Darth Caedus did not receive one solitary vote in the last Defender Wishlists. Plagueius got 2...2! Jocasta Nu, Shan and Jaxxon were at least on the radar but seriously...cranky old man rant over
I think it's a bummer that there isn't a single OT character in the top 10. I also agree with Scott that this poll does not accurately represent the collecting community. Oh well.
See that's how "rumor lists" and other unofficial (and sometimes plain bull****) things can taint votes like that. If Hasbro put out a list of 5 figures they said, "Vote now for 2, and the other 3 are off the table forever", I think you'd probably see a more pure vote.
Especially Tzizvvt, which I think was the biggest waste of poll space and should never even appear on Hasbro's radar.

Speak for yourself. I love the fact Tzizvvt made it and I'd prefer ANY Cantina Alien, even the most obscure, "only in the photo stills/holiday special and not actually in the movie" type ones over any video game character, prequel queen, handmaiden, or Jedi librarian types. Different strokes for different folks and all that I guess. :)
Agreed. Any OT, even crap like Willrow Hood is better than Jaxxon. Good think I'm not a completist, if that **** get's made I'll skip it on clearance.
Even if you don't like the figure/character, it's great to see Hasbro begrudgingly going all out to support the collectors on something like this versus some arbitrary poll with no safeguards for tampering.
