I'll be honest, I didn't have an easy time picking figures for the tournie this year, not so much because I was giddy at the choices, but more because I thought a lot are boring or kind of inevitable because Hasbro's at the bottom of the barrel.
I leaned to EU, and some Cantina aliens, some officers from the background... That kind of stuff I think. CW was tickling my fancy a little, but I wound up axing them all off for movie characters.
I was surprised I picked anything from ROTS, actually.
ESB is losing ground with me... I think Wedge will get his SS figure so I wound up skipping him despite wanting him pretty badly.
I'd like to see some of the Rebel Commando variants make the list, but none did so I think this maybe was the first year, ever, without a Rebel Trooper for me to vote for... Good, but bad too. Torryn Far counts I guess, but the Hoth Technicians didn't make it either, and that disappointed me. They were everywhere, seen "wrangling" Taun-Tauns and stuff, and for them to not make the cut really sucks.
I just can't get giddy for senators, Padmes (dead or alive), and even Leia's don't get my goat. I'm actually content enough with VOTC Lando I couldn't vote for him, though I'd buy a new one sure. It's the stuff like Cantina Wolf guy or Mosep, or EU characters like Jan Ors and Noghri Warrior that make me wish Hasbro would crank them out since they seem less likely I guess.
I think I'm on Rebel Trooper withdrawals now, not having any to vote for. That... that was odd.
