Another Superbowl behind us...and another Poppies awards! I've posted the results of the 2011 Poppies, with the winners selected by the 140 judges. There's a few suprises in there, at least to me, and later this week I'll be posting the results of the People's Picks as well, with a comparison write up. You can find the results at the usual:

Michael Crawford and Staff = Winning.



EDIT: Hey Michael, can you post some pics of the awards you're getting made up and a pic of the previous awards (or certificates) you've given out. Just curious as to what they look like. Thanks.

 

[Michael Crawford]

I'm surprised the Mark V edged out the T-800 or Spider-Man. Those to me were more impressive.

 

[Firebird]

There was no doubt in my mind that Superman was going to be a winner, but am glad that Alice recieved an award too.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I got my nephew that imaginext space shutte for christmas

I'm surprised the MK V took 3rd place, it's good but the lack of silver paint jobs takes alot away from it, i would've figured the Classic or Shadow Predator being among the top three

so sad to see how far mcfarlane has fallen

 

[galactiboy]

I agree about being surprised by Superman winning... while I prefer Superman over Jack, there is no denying (at least in my mind) which figure was more impressive in hand. I honestly can't think of a single production 1/6 figure that was more spot-on than Jack

 

[RagingBull]

Good work Mike, we agreed on quite a few winners looking through

 

[wofford29]

Enterbay T-800 was the easier winner for me this year. Nothing Hot Toys, Sideshow, or anyone else put out came close.

 

[nomad74]

I agree with you bro, but HT is becoming like Apple products what ever they do is best because it's Iphone.

 

[Solidus]

Christopher Reeve Superman was my favorite release from last year. But, Jack Sparrow comes in as a close second. Both of them are amazing figures.

I would've been happy to see T-800 in the mix, but not top spot. T-800 is an impressive figure but the sheer complexity and tight execution of the Jack Sparrow set trumps it imo. As much as I was impressed with Supes though, it did have a lot of accompanying hype to carry it through these gongs.

 

[galactiboy]

Yep, Supes definitely has the stronger nostalgia factor and is a figure people have been wanting made for 30 years... so a well executed figure is going to get a bump. But even though I'd choose to keep Superman over Jack in a heart beat, there is no denying that Jack is just a better overall figure.

Supes is a 10, Jack knocked it up to 11
