That’s the Skurge I have in my display. He’s currently on his knees in front of Amora (with a magic effect like she shrunk him). She’s hanging off Fortnite’s Ragnarok until Skurge takes his place.

I just plugged the Top 10 poll on a few of the Legends-related Facebook pages I follow. Hopefully the admins of those pages will post my plugs.

Dear Hasbro, the more AOA figures you give me the less AOA characters I can vote for.  Help me help you.

I've wanted Bug forever, but gave up voting for he and Rom years ago because I thought it was hopeless.This year, Bug is back in my list.

There are characters I want much more than some of the ones I put in the top 10 such as the classic New Mutants. I don't want to take up my whole list with them and it is unlikely anyone else will vote for them all so I just put Magma in powered up form which could go with the classic ones should they make them or also the more modern Dani and the others I cobbled together with the extra heads.

I'd also love the rest of the GotG original and 90s team but again, same problem. Didn't want to fill up half of my list with Starhawk, Aleta, Martinex, Nikki, and Charlie 27 if it wasn't going to mean anything because no one else was. I almost put just my two favorites, Starhawk and Aleta and may end up editing it.

We should be allowed a campaigning thread and a month of campaign time before the official vote in order to sway others! Vote for Aleta and I will make all your dreams come true.

How about a separate, second Official poll - where you can use the same characters you already voted for in the current poll - 

One 2-pack

One 3-pack

One 4-pack

One 5-pack

One Legendary Rider

 

Case in point: I personally have already voted for Mantis as a single character, but in the "Pack Poll" I'd can vote for her again as well as adding Swordsman as a Mantis/Swordsman 2-pack.

 

Tallying a character that gets multiple votes as a single card character and a BAF/deluxe is relatively easy. However, tallying between single, BAF and multi-packs just isn't.

But can I use different characters than I already used in the regular top 10?  Because I think I might...

Great results. 🙂 😀 Will there be more polls, but different characters, in 2025?

 

If everybody wants more polls, I'll do more polls!

Cap, Iron Man, Panther, Deadpool, Thor, Dr. Strange, Punisher, etc.

 

Not sure how best to set it up, but an alternate universe poll covering such things as: 

New Universe

2099

MC2

Ultraverse

CrossGen

Age of Apocalypse 

What If..?

etc.

Which member here submits his wish list and it's all Malibu characters?    That's the poll for them 🤣 

 

It's a pretty solid idea -  but if all of those were lumped into a single "alternate universe" category I feel like the answers are going to be wildly disparate with one list being entirely AOA and another being all Malibu and CrossGen and someone else's being mostly 2099...

I think all of that falls too far into the "just for fun" type polls and will dilute the importance of our official poll.

I would absolutely love Hasbro to do proper Marvel legends figures of Bug, Marionette, Commander Rann, and Huntarr. Characters Marvel already owns outright.

If we wanted to expand on the Official Top 10, I might suggest going in an opposite, more simple direction - make it a top 15 or 20 and eliminate the different "categories" of BAF, Haslab, box set, etc. It's fun to think about how things might plausibly get released, but the real point of the poll is to figure out the most wanted characters, and its up to Hasbro how they see the light of day.

That would be me.  This year it’s actually 60/40 Ultraverse/Marvel, instead of my usual 50/50 of past years.  But preferences are why I lumped them all into an “alternate universe” heading.  While I’m a big Ultraverse fan, and I know there’s a few others, there are other members that have little or  no interest in that universe. The same applies to each of these alternate universes.  Some will lean heavy into one or another, but not be too keen on others.  Grouping them together may not be the best solution, but it allows for greater input by more members.  If someone can formulate a better way to poll these Marvel owned properties, I’m all for it.

My wife suggested a Top 20 for the exact same reasons you stated after I explained to her that since Fwoosh crashed, many people didn't return and the poll numbers were way down. Especially since the Poll isn't run by Fwoosh admins.

So, I put this to all of you. Should we:

1) Let the Top 10 poll continue as is for this year.

OR

2) Modify the poll to include 20 characters (no BAF/HasLab), hoping everyone that voted will go back and add 10 more.

OR

3) Delete the poll today and start over with a Top 20 poll with no extras - just 20 characters?

 

I have absolutely no problem altering anything. We just started the poll, so a change at this point wouldn't be detrimental.

And I need to take my wife's advice more...

@beamish your wife is a wise one. You should marry her.

Last time when we did this and presented the cards to the Legends team we presented 20 or so anyway didn't we? May as well make it a top 20. I think it's as likely for everyone to edit them as it is for them to all come back again and revote from scratch. Can the subject line of the topic be updated to reflect the changes to grab everyone's attention? If not I'd delete and start over.
