I wish it were close... not close.

As most anticipated, best sculpt and accurate (although fairly simple) costuming - I think Ben wins hands down.

But for figure coolness, it's a toss up between Boussh and Asajj for me. What can I say, I dig chicks... If Carrie's head was a tiny bit smaller it might have pushed Boussh over for me.

Since this thread is the mistake thread, can we combine it with the legit one?

Re: The OFFICIAL Sideshow 1:6 Figure of '07 POLL

why even have Ben on here? i voted for boushh just because old ben is a given. i dont have a boushh yet but ive seen her and she will be mine. oh yes she will be mine.

Old Ben is a really nice figure, but I voted for Leia Boushh. With all the accessories and the interchangeable head the coolness fact is just too high.

Re: Sideshow Star Wars 1:6 Figure of the year...

My vote...obviously Olb Den!

 

[Prime Clone]

While I prefer Luke and Leia as characters (been waiting 10 years for a decent Bespin Luke!) I couldn't go past Old Ben's perfect likeness. I thought the PF Ben was superb until I saw the 12".

 

[OSCORP]

Ben and i don't even have him in hand yet.

 

[IronFingaz]

I voted Old Ben even though i don't have him...... yet

 

[carbo-fation]

Considering that I only kept Ben out of the all the releases in 2007, the answer is quite obvious to me. Asaji and Bespin Luke would be my next choices though, but they just didn't do it for me.

 

[OSCORP]

Ben's gonna kill this poll.

(especially when more people start to get theirs.)

 

[Captain Faramir]

I would have voted for Old Ben, but since I don't have mine yet and he's gonna win anyway, I voted for my next favorite--ANH Leia. Every since I got her she's been one of my favorites. I dunno, maybe it's just that I love Carrie Fisher, or maybe it's the accessories, or maybe it's just the sheer iconic power the figure has--whatever it is, she's my favorite.

Of course, Old Ben would undoubtedly take it if he were here. The first Star Wars figure I ever owned was the POTF2 Ben Kenobi figure. He's always been my main man.

 

[dharper]

Hey did the poll change? I thought I saw Yavin Luke listed instead of Holo Sidious. Not that he would get any votes, but just wondering.

 

[jedibear]

Assaj replaced HoloSid on the poll (fat lot of good it is) LOL...

I'm sure I'll like Old Ben as much as everyone else does, but how much of it that new paint smell talking? (I joke)

 

[galactiboy]

Had to go with Old Ben.. I think Boussh would be a close second. But the sculpt and paint on Ben are just so great that he gets the overall.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

I don't have Ben yet. If I did I might vote for him but for now it's Boussh.

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Based on all the pix I've seen here and elsewhere, It seams as if everything about the ANH Obi-Wan is right. That figure get's my vote. I'll know for sure once I get him in the next couple of weeks.


The two runners-up IMO are Plo Koon, for a perfect likeness and Asajj Ventress for having the most interesting exclusive item.

The creature packs and the environments are very well made, but nothing I was really waiting for. I sincerely hope SSC doesn't make to much of those in the future.

The Endor dudes are the absolute losers of 2007. While nicely made, they are SO superfluous it almost hurts. One Endor Rebel would have been more than enough. I like SSC's "out of the box" approach very much, but this felt more like a case of "out of this galaxy" thinking.

The biggest let down of 2007 for me however has to be Jabba's throne. The piece itself looks great, but if you bring it in relation with the price SSC charged for it... That was a true act of barefacedness.

Of the figures listed, I only picked up Boushh and Assaj, with Ben arriving on Friday.

I love all three figures, and each would be deserving winners.

I voted for Ben, because in every picture the likeness is superior to Leia's, and it's a far more iconic figure than Leia/Boushh.

 

[DarthNeil]

I just received Ben yesterday-- to those of you who are getting him soon you're in for a treat. Hands down one of the best 1/6 out there. Period.

The bar has been raised.

 

[TwelveMonkeys]

I went with Boushh. Only got it recently and was very impressed. I'm sure my mind will change when I get Ben though, looks incredible.
