How should we do this Top 30 figures thing for Hasbro?

[JediTricks]

The due date is less than a month, so we cannot run a massive poll series like last time. But I don't know if we should just use the exact same results we had before, as there are new Clone Wars figures to consider, and the old results have some figures that are now in production. Any thoughts?

[Droid]

I think that we should just all submit a list of thirty figures. #1 choices get 30 points, #30 choices get 1 point, etc. One round only, nominate whomever you want, from any film, EU, Clone Wars, resculpts, whatever. I'm not volunteering him, but I think MadSlantedPowers said he would do the calculations.

JediTricks, whether you do it in the Q&A or not, could you contact Hasbro and ask them if a vote for the Tonnikas would count or if it would even increase their chance of being made. If we shouldn't vote for them I'd rather not waste two votes.

I don't think we should use any previous poll results. As you say, there are new Clone Wars options and same figures have already been confirmed. Also, the interest will likely be much higher in this poll then one of our other polls.

[Snowtrooper]

It'd be great to post a list of characters that haven't been done or are in need of redoing. I think it would make voting a little easier.

[Cane_Adiss]

It'd be great to post a list of characters that haven't been done or are in need of redoing. I think it would make voting a little easier.

I think most people can come up with a list of 30 they'd like done on their own. Some people differ in opinion as to who needs a resculpt. I'm sure many already have such lists!

If we shouldn't vote for them I'd rather not waste two votes.This is a waste of a vote, Hasbro is not allowed to do these figures due to legal issues, they already know we want them but they are not allowed to do them. We asked them not too long ago what figures were off-limits, so we already know asking for anything else of George Lucas, or the Tonnikas, or Grebleips, or any live-action character from the Holiday Special, or (for some unknown reason) Tyvokka.

Also, the interest will likely be much higher in this poll then one of our other polls.The problem I have with that is a lot of folks won't want to go through making ranked lists of 30 guys, it'd be a beast and come up with weak sampling because that type of results requires thousands of entries in order to get a solid sampling (due to the high number of characters and vast breadth of sources from which to cull). 3 rounds of 10 each would get more votes if we went that route, but adding new figures to the poll would be a full-time job and make tallying difficult if we didn't do it that way. But I will consider the idea along with a multi-poll series.

The thing I like about using the wave 1 poll results from last time is that it cuts down the hundreds of results to a cleaner set to cull from. But Clone Wars is definitely a wrench in that.

[pbarnard]

Could we get an absolute off limits list than (which should be simpler than who's available) like the Tonnikas?

[bigbarada]

If we were to just use the existing poll results (removing figures who have already been announced or deemed off limits and bumping everybody up), then they would be:

1. Bom Vimdin.....209 points (12 votes)
2. Cliegg Lars.....200 points (11 votes)
3. Wooof.....152 points (12 votes)
4. Sim Aloo.....142 points (9 votes)
5. Guri .....133 points (8 votes)
6. Torynn Farr.....126 points (10 votes)
7. Cane Adiss.....120 points (7 votes)
8. Jocasta Nu.....117 points (8 votes)
9. Dr. Evazan.....116 points (8 votes)
10. Tey How.....115 points (11 votes)
11. Sgt. Doallyn.....113 points (8 votes)
12. Mosep Binneed.....106 points (7 votes)
13. Jess.....104 points (7 votes)
14. Daultay Dofine.....103 points (10 votes)
15. Gamorrean Guard.....101 points (7 votes)
16. Tzizvvt.....100 points (5 votes)
17. Nom Anor.....94 points (4 votes)
18. Reegesk .....92 points (9 votes)
19. Kithaba.....92 points (8 votes)
20. Rogwa Wodrata .....89 points (4 votes)
21. Lumat.....83 points (7 votes)
22. Taym Dren-garen.....81 points (8 votes)
23. Weequay Skiff Master.....81 points (6 votes)
24. Queen Jamillia.....77 points (5 votes)
25. Padmé Amidala – Loyalist Committee.....76 points (4 votes)
26. Wald.....75 points (5 votes)
27. Admiral Piett.....74 points (5 votes)
28. BG-J38.....74 points (5 votes)
29. Vintage Nikto guard.....73 points (7 votes)
30. Owen Lars (ANH).....71 points (7 votes)

Of course, this means the work is already done, so it might not be the most fun option for everyone. It also wouldn't take into account the opinion of newer members.

However, I like it because Kithaba (who would be my #1 choice if I made my own top 30) is ranked in the top 20. I'm worried that if we threw everyone's name in the mix again, then Kithaba might not fair so well a second time around.

I don't think we can just use that list though, as I suspect Nikto fans will feel like they're getting traction already with the new figures, and there's no Clone Wars, and I absolutely cannot fathom sending a list that has Queen Jamilla on it. :p

28. BG-J38.....74 points (5 votes)


Not to nit pick but he's the BaD coming early next year in the EU wave.

While I like the list, I agree there should be room for new imput. Perhaps instead of letting everyone vote for their top 30 we limit it to 10-15. That way there are half the votes to tally? I know there are flaws with doing it this way but there are gonna be flaws with any system and we've gotta come up with something quick.

[Washingtonian]

I think everybody should just pick 30 of their favorites (or whatever the set number is). It would be the most fun, and for people like me who joined the forum not to long ago, it gives an opportunity to participate, where just using the old results does not. Final ranking could be according to whichever characters have the most nominations.

[Darth Jax]

rather than everyone trying to pick their top 30 and rank them. just have everyone submit their top 10 (ranked in order of preference). either pick the top 30 names mentioned or assign 1-10 a pt value and submit the 30 highest point totals.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

I'm inclined to go with letting everyone submit a top 30. The only problem I see with it is that it might be too hard to submit a ranked list of that size. Just because the final list we send to Hasbro is 30 doesn't mean we have to have people submit that size of a list. I would certainly want it to be bigger than 10 though, because I'd have trouble limiting my choices to just 10. Perhaps 20 or 25. With less than 4 weeks before the deadline, we don't really have time to do multiple rounds.

[Blue2th]

So I guess the Clone Wars Micro Series characters are still off the table, even though they did some of them earlier this year in realistic style and are doing an L8-L9 Build-a-Droid?

I guess there would be too much confusion asking for any of those as they might think we want them animated style.

I thought they said no but their actions contradict the answer they gave, or they too are confused with it. Clear as mud. :cross-eye

[Droid]

Does anyone believe the collective SSG community really ranks "JESS" as the 13th most desired figure?

I still think everyone should submit lists of 30 figures and if people don't want to participate, they can't complain because they had their shot.

However, what if for ONE week people were allowed to nominate their Top Twenty figures from the Clone Wars show. Those are ranked into a Top 20 list. Then we take MSP's Top 50 and the Clone Wars top 20 and ask people to take TWO weeks to submit a ranked list of their Top 30 out of that 70. Assuming someone is willing to do the math, is should give a fairly accurate sample of what people would like.

[JediTricks]

How about we seed polls with the old results but allow write-ins, we pair it down in 3 week intervals, it's top 10 or 15 for each voter. 15 is not a number I think people will go to, but I'll be willing to put it out there as my highest number for this.

Seeding the polls to start with existing ideas means that discourage just every ol' crazy write-in since a lot of stuff will already be up there.

It would be the most fun, and for people like me who joined the forum not to long ago, it gives an opportunity to participate, where just using the old results does not. Final ranking could be according to whichever characters have the most nominations.We're definitely not going to submit old results if I can help it. But in order to seed the poll with top results, I'm considering using the old polls we did as a jumping off point to the new polls instead of just blasting away with a thousand options.

With less than 4 weeks before the deadline, we don't really have time to do multiple rounds.What about 3 rounds of top 10 like your phase 2 rounds for the last few polls we've done? I just hate using a shotgun blast of results for the votes, and I'm sure that's what an unfocused, "whatever you want" list. If we start Sunday, we have just enough time for 3 weekly rounds of something.


So I guess the Clone Wars Micro Series characters are still off the table, even though they did some of them earlier this year in realistic style and are doing an L8-L9 Build-a-Droid?No, they're fine.


I guess there would be too much confusion asking for any of those as they might think we want them animated style.I'll figure out a way to differentiate them.


I thought they said no but their actions contradict the answer they gave, or they too are confused with it. Clear as mud. :cross-eyeThey said they didn't WANT to do more now that the CGI Clone Wars was underway, not that they couldn't.



Does anyone believe the collective SSG community really ranks "JESS" as the 13th most desired figure?No, I absolutely don't think that, which is why I am really trying to go a different way with it.


I still think everyone should submit lists of 30 figures and if people don't want to participate, they can't complain because they had their shot.Again, it's such a shotgun blast of votes that a lot won't count for squat in relation to the overall community because we'd need a bigger sampling of random votes that way and we just aren't going to see that with a month to go and a big empty list for voters to fill out and sort through.


However, what if for ONE week people were allowed to nominate their Top Twenty figures from the Clone Wars show. Those are ranked into a Top 20 list. Then we take MSP's Top 50 and the Clone Wars top 20 and ask people to take TWO weeks to submit a ranked list of their Top 30 out of that 70.

[El Chuxter]

Just write "Jaxxon, Teek, Chuka-Trokh," and repeat that ten times.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Does anyone believe the collective SSG community really ranks "JESS" as the 13th most desired figure?Apparently so. She was only 12th in the ROTJ poll. In the first attempt at making a top 50, only the top five from each group were available to vote on, so she didn't come up for a vote until round 8, and she made the list on her first try. That put her 37th in the poll using that method. Then we listed the top 25 from each group and let people rank their top 25. That is where she finished 18th. She moves up to 13th in the list after you remove the figures that have been made and the Tonnikas.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Seeding the polls to start with existing ideas means that discourage just every ol' crazy write-in since a lot of stuff will already be up there.I could post the top 25 that remain from each of our previous movie polls, and the top 50 that remain from our EU poll and let people choose from that. If someone else wants to come up with a list of Clone Wars figure, we can include that.


What about 3 rounds of top 10 like your phase 2 rounds for the last few polls we've done? I just hate using a shotgun blast of results for the votes, and I'm sure that's what an unfocused, "whatever you want" list. If we start Sunday, we have just enough time for 3 weekly rounds of something.If you definitely don't want people to submit more than 15 should we do it as one round, then I would be up for doing it this way

I was just going through my lists a day or two ago and checking off which ones had been made or confirmed. I'll post the top remaining figures from each poll here a little bit later. That way we can determine if I've missed any that need to be removed.

[Qui-Long Gone]

I think that we should just all submit a list of thirty figures. #1 choices get 30 points, #30 choices get 1 point, etc. One round only, nominate whomever you want, from any film, EU, Clone Wars, resculpts, whatever. I'm not volunteering him, but I think MadSlantedPowers said he would do the calculations.

Here's a list of Micro Series characters
They are already making Sidious on Mecho Chair, K'Kruhk and L8-L9 so that's a start.
I could narrow it down to ones I really want and others secondary on my list, because there's some OTC and PTC characters I would vote for over some of these. But if anyone needs to know who's not been made from the Micro Series.
Realistic style only please:

[Mad Slanted Powers]

That Clone Wars series would have been covered in the previous polls. What we would need is a list from the new Clone Wars series to give it a fair shot.

[Blue2th]

That Clone Wars series would have been covered in the previous polls. What we would need is a list from the new Clone Wars series to give it a fair shot.

I totally disagree. That's been the problem, they get confused with new animated style figures which I assume is what they meant when George himself said he didn't want them made.
I want a continuation of what Hasbro was doing before the animated style figures came out. When they did make some micro series characters in realistic style, and then did some in the Legacy line as well (no "Clone Wars" on the packaging btw)

I don't want any confusion with animated characters. I think the animated characters are taking care of themselves as we have seen, but the Micro Series characters are not getting much love at all.

Thankfully JT said he would differentiate them, but I see no reason to put them in with the Clone Wars at all, it just confuses the problem as we have seen already.

If we have to, don't even mention the word "Clone Wars" when referring to these characters. It just confuses the issue IMHO.

What I meant was that when we did our EU poll, that was after the old Clone Wars cartoon. So people already had a chance to vote for those, and many of them made the list, and some have been made (Scuba Clone, Obi-Wan and Saesee Tiin in Clone armor). The new Clone Wars series started after the last polls were done, so have no representation in any of our last round of polls. I was just suggesting that if we are going to do as JT suggested and list the top remaining figures from our previous polls, it would be fair to list something from the new series. Of course, people will still be able to write in anything. Or we could go with Droid's suggestion and have a separate Clone Wars round to narrow that down..

Yeah that's clearer, thanks. We did get some good figures. Still a few that I'm sure would be good contenders though. As long as we keep it out of the Clone Wars round, I think that would solve a lot of confusion now that the new series is here. Maybe in an EU poll would be better like before. That way no confusion about realistic and animated styles.

[jedichicken]

Why not use the movie polls you have and just have everyone vote for 5 Clone Wars and 5 Expanded Universe as write ins. Too many new EU characters have been created in comics, books, video games, etc since the old results. However, the movie votes should be ok because they haven't changed 9Uunless I missed something:shocked:). With only 5 each you won't get too many far fetched votes. Have that go on 10 days and then take the top 30 from each movie( this is already done), Clone Wars and EU and put them into a poll of 240. Have people vote for 10-20 choices. If you do anymore then that, it will take forever to tabulate. Also everyone will have to think really hard on who they really want.

You are not getting the words I've been saying guy. Don't confuse Micro Series characters with "Clone Wars" characters, or they'll think we want them animated.

Once again clear as mud.

[jedichicken]

Sorry, Blue. I wasn't even going to mention the micro series (I'm not wanting anything else from it). I went back and added it as an afterthought.

[Blue2th]

Sorry, Blue. I wasn't even going to mention the micro series (I'm not wanting anything else from it). I went back and added it as an afterthought.
It's ok, it's Clone Wars, then it's Clone Wars hence the confusion.

Every once and a while they do one or two figures from the series in realistic style. Then we got a whole wave, so I should be thankful.

I think it's best as MSP mentioned when we had them before in an EU poll to do the same this time again, to avoid any mix-up.

[jedichicken]

I agree. My main concern is that newer EU characters won't be part of the poll and the new Clone Wars should be included as well. I just don't want it to be a nightmare for whoevers counting under the time constraint.

[bigbarada]

Howzabout a 3 round poll? One round where we narrow down the existing top 25 figures from each movie and EU (essentially reshuffling the current results). A second round for new nominations, where everyone can nominate 10-20 figures that don't appear on the existing list. Then the third round would throw all of those results together into a final top 30 list.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Yeah that's clearer, thanks. We did get some good figures. Still a few that I'm sure would be good contenders though. As long as we keep it out of the Clone Wars round, I think that would solve a lot of confusion now that the new series is here. Maybe in an EU poll would be better like before. That way no confusion about realistic and animated styles.
I'd even be inclined to not include the new Clone Wars since it is fairly new and ongoing. We're bound to be getting a lot of the unmade ones that people really want before too long anyway.

Here are the six movie lists and the EU list. I went down far enough in each list to get 25 unmade figures (50 for the EU poll). I left the made and confirmed ones in their spots with an asterisk. If there are any others I should take off, let me know. If there are some I shouldn't have taken off, let me know that. I've made a few comments in red.

Also, we are not voting yet, so posting your lists here won't count for anything. This is just to make sure the figures we list in the actual poll are all figures that haven't been made or confirmed.

The only problem with the EU part is that it leaves out such things as the Legacy comic, Force Unleashed video game, the latest novels, etc. Which are pretty popular. I would be fine with the choices from the original list,all my picks are there already, but I could see where some people could get miffed. Clone Wars though, some of the minor 1 show characters might not get made otherwise because I'm sure Hasbro is working on season 2 already.

Clone Wars though, some of the minor 1 show characters might not get made otherwise because I'm sure Hasbro is working on season 2 already.

People will still be free to write in characters. On such short notice, we don't have time to re-poll everything.

At this point, I would be up for one of the following two possibilities:

1. Everyone submits a list of up to 25 or 30 figures. The top 30 in the poll will be our list.
2. Everyone submits a list of up to 10 or 15 figures. The top 10 make our list. Repeat two more times to get our 30 figures.

In both cases, the results of our previous polls above will be available for people to choose from, but they will not be limited to those choices. I don't feel it is necessary to add a list of new Clone Wars characters. That is an ongoing line and most of the main characters have been made, are on the way, or will probably be made before too long. Plus, after another season, there will probably be a lot more figures from the series that people will want. I'm thinking that a fan's choice poll should focus more on those figures we've been wanting for years. However, if enough people write in for a new Clone Wars series character, it deserves to make the list.

[indyjones1981]

Can we vote for updated figures from the Droids & Ewoks Cartoon Series from the Mid 1980's? Be nice to have some of the original Kenner figures be remade today. Might never happen though. Not sure what Hasbro has ever said about redoing these lines. Anyone know Hasbro's answer/thoughts?

[Tycho]

Hasbro doesn't have any current plans to remake figures from the 80's Ewoks and Droids cartoons. They do not think there is a market for them. However, they personally like them.

Anyway, the list of 30 works for me.

I think using the old poll results as a starter-suggestion list, but allowing write-ins, is the best way to do this.

It is taking me a while to create my Top 30 list, but I'm making mine with this method:

1. I went through MSP's Top 50 and individual movie and EU lists and wrote down the characters I want - from the Top 50 first. They're most likely to be supported by others here because they obviously already were. But I didn't even want 30 of those, so I started adding TPM figures that I wanted. I think by AOTC or ROTS I'd completed a list of 30 figures I do want.

2. Then I identified which figures I could not do without for my scenes - sorry JT, but the whole point of the Naboo Palace scene in AOTC is to meet with Queen Jamilla. I'll only buy 1 of her figures, but I must have it eventually. So she's on my final list. Others like Speeder Pilot Bail Organa would be nice, but I can use 501st Clones for other scenes, as well as Zett Jukasa, so Bail doesn't make it for me, but that would be a great figure of him.

3. Then I tallied how many figures I'd buy. For Padme by the waterfalls (AOTC) I'd only buy 1 figure of her, and display her with only 1 other figure (Anakin Evolutions) - so she is far less important than say Padme Nightgown (AOTC) because of the whole assassin droid / kohoun attack when Zam Wessel tries to kill her and Obi-Wan and Anakin rush to her rescue. Typho, R2D2, Jango Fett (off watching at a distance) and potentially a future Dorme figure are all part of this grouping of figures, so I'd much rather do this scene than the waterfalls with the yellow dress. But as figures I'd buy even more of came up on the list, the Expanded Universe Noghri for example, I'd take weaker figures I have less demand for off - unless....

4. I stayed loyal to the voters in my 2004 poll and 2005 ROTS poll and if the figure was on my list, and a '04/'05 poll winner, plus one I'd buy multiples of, they went on my final list I'm composing. These figures are first and foremost off MSP's winners' list already.

5. Right now I'm figuring out who's at the bottom of my Top 30, by how many I'd buy - like of Nom Anor for example - and who I absolutely can't do without. For example, I really want Klaatu (vintage update) and he's still on my list, but I can do a Jabba scene and sailbarge scene without him if necessary. However, I really have to have the Noghri for certain EU scenes, so they must pull ahead of many of these figures because I'd army-build them, and substitute a generic one for Rukh or Khabarahk right from the get-go as I don't think Hasbro will make 3 different Noghris - but you never know.

I finished and in case anyone here wonders what this experiment resulted in:

12 Expanded Universe figures
6 from TPM
6 from AOTC
4 from ROTS
1 from ANH
1 from ROTJ

I apparently have no (highly ranking) wants from ESB though I think a lot of our figures we picked before like Luke Dagobah with an open jacket, the vintage-style Hoth Rebel, Wiorkettle, and Treva Horme are very interesting and figures I'd surely buy.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

May not like the sculpt, but already released.

Of course. I fixed the list and added the next two (because one of the next two, Delia Blue is on the way).

[Droid]

I'm fine with just creating a list based on the choices MSP laid out above and then people being allowed to write in others. I do think this method highly weighs against those EU sources not available last time.

[sebillba]

I think everyone submitting their own Top 30s would be the best way to go... but that's probably because I already compiled mine at the weekend. :D

I took the remains of the original results (from MSP's poll) as a starter, but then went back and searched out my own votes for all the peliminary rounds and found a lot more I wanted, then just had to whittle it down from there. I think mine is pretty much split down the middle for OT and PT, with just one EU character. I also had quite a few resculpts on my original list, but realised I'd rather see totally new characters first, so the ones that are still in my top 30 are right at the bottom.

[El Chuxter]

The only problem with the EU part is that it leaves out such things as the Legacy comic, Force Unleashed video game, the latest novels, etc.

That's a plus in my book. Legacy, Legacy of the Force, and Fate of the Jedi are crap in my book. I'm not even going to use the word "carp," because they don't deserve that much credit. Fanboy fanfic by elementary kids made canon.

And, with Shaak Ti coming, don't we now have pretty much all the TFU figures we could want?

[Blue2th]

I'd even be inclined to not include the new Clone Wars since it is fairly new and ongoing. We're bound to be getting a lot of the unmade ones that people really want before too long anyway.



I agree. The new Clone Wars characters seem to have no problem getting made. I looked at an old thread of Clone Wars "wants" and a lot of them have already been made or are in the works. http://www.sirstevesguide.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38998&highlight=clone+wars+figures+made

While a lot of the more obscure Micro Series characters probably are not good contenders for inclusion into an EU list. Particularly the Cauldron Warriors, though we're getting L8-L9 (there are a couple more droids in there we might get as BAD's) there are at least 5 figures I'd really like to see made, and would like as write ins, for sure the first 3:

Fordo- Coruscant Phase II armor
Arc Pilot - Muunilinst 10 (actually the whole crew of Arc's needs a repaint to match the Legacy Clone Gunner's more acurate blue)
Nelvaan Warrior w/ Techno Union mutations
General Orro Dassyne
Tarr Seirr

[Cane_Adiss]

Here's some write-ins for the ROTS list:

Mon Calamari Dancer
Eeusu Estornii

Too many of those existing ROTS choices are extremely boring and the more interesting ones are already coming or are done already.

Ok, I'm thinking we're going to run 2 different methods concurrently. For the next month, we'll have a "whatever you want in a big ol' list of 30" thread going, you can drop by any time and post your 30 there without any complex polling. This is nearly-useless junk polling that will give us nowhere near good enough statistical information, but we can at least use it as comparison against the other poll.

Separately, we're going to run a "phase 2-style" 3 week poll from the top results of our original figure poll from 2 years ago and that'll be a runoff to get a better handle on which figures are most wanted.

If you have a suggestion for Clone Wars figures for the second poll, please post them here: http://forums.sirstevesguide.com/showthread.php?t=40886

At the end, the results from each will be either combined or used separately if possible.


I could post the top 25 that remain from each of our previous movie polls, and the top 50 that remain from our EU poll and let people choose from that. If someone else wants to come up with a list of Clone Wars figure, we can include that.Thinking about it right now, I'm not sure there there are a lot of Clone Wars figures that need to be made, Hasbro's knocking a lot of these out fast. But I really would like to see the top 25 results from the previous polls in advance before I decide, that's probably how we're going to start it off.


If you definitely don't want people to submit more than 15 should we do it as one round, then I would be up for doing it this wayI'm not sure I understand what you mean here.


I was just going through my lists a day or two ago and checking off which ones had been made or confirmed. I'll post the top remaining figures from each poll here a little bit later. That way we can determine if I've missed any that need to be removed.Fabulous!

Ok, so I saw the list you posted, that's quite a list. I am not entirely comfortable with dumping 350 figures at voters at once, it would be hard to sort through. Oh master of numbers, do you think it would work if we gave them a choice of the top 15 from each source instead, and we seeded rounds 2 and 3 with whatever was culled from rounds 1 and 2, respectively? Also, if we did that, should we allow write-ins as well or would that throw a wrench into the works?



I'll start! :thumbsup:

1. Brea Tonnika
2. Senni Tonnika
3. Jabba with Dias (and better eye sculpt)Wow, your top 3 are all not going to make the list, that's amazing. :D Tonnikas are out, legal reasons, cannot make 'em, not going on our list. And Jabba with dais would not be a standard figure, so it's not going in this poll.



Here's a list of Micro Series characters
They are already making Sidious on Mecho Chair, K'Kruhk and L8-L9 so that's a start.
I could narrow it down to ones I really want and others secondary on my list, because there's some OTC and PTC characters I would vote for over some of these. But if anyone needs to know who's not been made from the Micro Series.
Realistic style only please:You'll need to rethink this, as they already made clear that Clone Wars figures will be done in animated style.


That Clone Wars series would have been covered in the previous polls. What we would need is a list from the new Clone Wars series to give it a fair shot.True dat! They were in the original EU figure poll we did, those phase 1 results are in the bag.


Why not use the movie polls you have and just have everyone vote for 5 Clone Wars and 5 Expanded Universe as write ins. Too many new EU characters have been created in comics, books, video games, etc since the old results. However, the movie votes should be ok because they haven't changed 9Uunless I missed something:shocked:). With only 5 each you won't get too many far fetched votes. Have that go on 10 days and then take the top 30 from each movie( this is already done), Clone Wars and EU and put them into a poll of 240. Have people vote for 10-20 choices. If you do anymore then that, it will take forever to tabulate. Also everyone will have to think really hard on who they really want.Tastes change, people's needs for certain figures are partly satiated by releases of other figures, or people's needs for certain figures are heightened by the release of other figures, and some of the results have been created so there's room at the top for a new fight. We're absolutely not going to run a full series though, don't worry, it's just that I'd like to take the original results and have the voters process the top results against each other again to get a new top 30 list.



The only problem with the EU part is that it leaves out such things as the Legacy comic, Force Unleashed video game, the latest novels, etc. Which are pretty popular. I would be fine with the choices from the original list,all my picks are there already, but I could see where some people could get miffed. Clone Wars though, some of the minor 1 show characters might not get made otherwise because I'm sure Hasbro is working on season 2 already.Based on what you're saying,



People will still be free to write in characters. On such short notice, we don't have time to re-poll everything.

At this point, I would be up for one of the following two possibilities:

1. Everyone submits a list of up to 25 or 30 figures. The top 30 in the poll will be our list.
2. Everyone submits a list of up to 10 or 15 figures. The top 10 make our list. Repeat two more times to get our 30 figures.But then I decided to do both. ;)



Can we vote for updated figures from the Droids & Ewoks Cartoon Series from the Mid 1980's? Be nice to have some of the original Kenner figures be remade today. Might never happen though. Not sure what Hasbro has ever said about redoing these lines. Anyone know Hasbro's answer/thoughts?Hasbro says that if they find the right format and there's interest, they would do them, so they're in. I doubt Hasbro thought about them when they started this, so whether these would be animated style or realistic style is yet to be determined.



2. Then I identified which figures I could not do without for my scenes - sorry JT, but the whole point of the Naboo Palace scene in AOTC is to meet with Queen Jamilla. I'll only buy 1 of her figures, but I must have it eventually. So she's on my final list. That type of thinking is why the line is dying. Just because she's in the movie doesn't make her something that will sell, you dedicate materials and shelf space to a loser like Jamilla and you can kiss the future of the line goodbye. Jamilla is a sacrifice, you get Jamilla and you risk all the other stuff that might come after it. For every turkey like Jamilla, it probably costs fans 5 other unique figures, and the only way to keep the line from tanking is to put out more Vaders and Lukes. So in essence, your type of "only what I want" thinking ends up causing the very problems you wish to avoid. But that's why it's the "Fans choose 1 figure", and not "Fans run the entire line" poll. ;)


PLEASE STOP SUBMITTING YOUR TOP 30 LISTS IN THIS THREAD! We have a thread for that. Top 30 is a waste of time but we're doing it anyway separately from the other poll, so go post there.

Ok, so I saw the list you posted, that's quite a list. I am not entirely comfortable with dumping 350 figures at voters at once, it would be hard to sort through. Oh master of numbers, do you think it would work if we gave them a choice of the top 15 from each source instead, and we seeded rounds 2 and 3 with whatever was culled from rounds 1 and 2, respectively? Also, if we did that, should we allow write-ins as well or would that throw a wrench into the works?Actually, it would only be 200 figures. If you want to break it down though, are you suggesting we just sort of redo phase 2 from last time, but with different parameters? Last time we offered the top 5 from each poll, and people voted for 5, and the top 5 made the list. Are you suggesting offering the top 15, and letting people select 10, and the top 10 make the list, then repeat twice to give us 30?

Pick your top 10 in round 1


TPM results 1-15
AOTC results 1-15
ROTS results 1-15
ANH results 1-15
ESB results 1-15
ROTJ results 1-15
EU results 1-20 (factoring in the larger number of entries and wider net)
The Clone Wars suggestions 1-15 (assuming there's enough to fill, otherwise it goes in EU randomly)


We can allow write-ins if that's something you can deal with.

Sound good?

See, I look at that and I imagine what happens when a perspective voter tries to go fishing through that mess, 15 each would look neater. Even shrunk to font size 1, it's pretty hard to look at and not feel daunted. But, by that same token, I do understand that having more options might be fairer, even if they didn't fare well in their own polls. I dunno, any opinions and advice would be appreciated.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

I just noticed that I still had Greblieps on the TPM list so I added "Eirtaé - Naboo battle – Blonde Handmaiden" to the list.

[Darth Jax]

hopefully hasbro will learn from past experience (yarna) and realize that just because fan support seems behind a character that it doesn't mean it'll fly off the pegs in huge numbers.

since there is an entire line devoted to the clone wars, and only 1 season (so far), it seems pretty pointless to be requesting those figures already.

[Qui-Long Gone]

JT, you are a smart guy, but you're confusing me....yesterday you said stop posting your 30, then you posted 25 from each series.

Could you clarify for me:

1.) What (or where) do you want us to post?

2.) How will we score points per figure request?

If we're doing rounds, that sounds like a good start!

*JT, I realize that's what you're trying to do on this thread, but I'm not sure if we're solving anything. :yes:

If our collective energy is going towards top 30 figures for Hasbro, don't you all agree we should try to get some better figures of main characters and not just obscure (albeit cool) characters? Some of these lists (not to knock what's important to individuals) strike me as probable top 30 pegwarmmers. Can we not all agree to fight for our rights to better Luke Skywalkers for example?

I don't agree with that AT ALL! They are going to keep doing the main characters over and over and over. At some point they will hit a good sculpt of all of them. This poll may be an obscure character's only shot! Hasbro will get a list of figures. I think they are only promising to make one of them. They can set about keeping their business afloat how they see fit. I am not concerned with anything other than telling them the figures I most want (minus the Tonnikas).

[Qui-Long Gone]

^Let me clarify that I'm not saying I don't want any of these obscure figures...I agree we want every SW figure they'll make! But aren't you tired of pegwarmers and not getting good figures of main characters? What's the balance?

[Droid]

I think the problem is that we voted "MAKE A REALLY GOOD DSII LUKE" in the last poll and years later we got a figure most people don't like. Hasbro thinks all the figures we think are terrible are great. So I think we accomplish nothing by nominating figures they already made several times, that they intend to make again, when they can't see that Jango isn't purple.

[JediTricks]

JT, you are a smart guy, but you're confusing me....yesterday you said stop posting your 30, then you posted 25 from each series.We're running 2 polls, that's why you're confused, you missed that part of my post. I'm about to start the version with the 7 top 25s against each other on Sunday.


Could you clarify for me:

1.) What (or where) do you want us to post?Top 30 list goes here:
http://forums.sirstevesguide.com/showthread.php?t=40891

The active drill-down, 3-round poll series will start Sunday, and that'll be our main focus once it gets going.


2.) How will we score points per figure request?Tallying will be handled by rank, you just rank them how much you want them, and the tallymaster will assign points based on their rank, the higher the rank, the more points it gets. It's a lot easier to put into a spreadsheet that way, and easier for voters to understand a ranked list too.

When it's all mixed together, that'll give a rounded idea of what the whole fan community wants.

Hey, I'm culling "Younglings" from Ep 2, that's not specific enough.

And "Gardulla the Hutt" from Ep 1, that's too big to be a figure.

So if you could supply new figs for each slot, that'd be great.

I've also pulled Lumpawarrump and Mallatobuck, but already have replacements.

Let's see, I believe the last one on the list I provided was Denaria Kee, so next would be the deleted scene Senate Padmé. However, in the original AOTC poll, I specified two younglings - J.K. Burtola (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/J.K._Burtola) and Liam (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Liam), since the first had a speaking part, and the other was named on screen. Next after deleted Padmé would be a Jar Jar remake.

The last on the TPM list was Eirtaé, so the next up would be another podracer, Wan Sandage.

Are we required to revote on Wooof and similar characters? I know they have said Bom Vimdin and Wooof are coming, but I still voted for them. Wooof was supposed to come out this year; he got pushed back. They announced Cyborg Maul, where is he? They produced the Eopie and I never got one. I'm voting for those characters that I've never seen a picture of because Hasbro sometimes shifts stuff and then we dont' see it.

Let me know if I need to revote on something.

EDIT:

While you are at it, Bom Vimdin is confirmed:

2) This coming wave of New Hope figures have given us, the fans, 4 more Mos Eisley/Cantina aliens, and Kudos to you because I always wondered what Dice Ibegon would look like with a body. We have Trinto, Dice, Pons (Brainiac) and Wioslea, but we are missing ONE last crucial alien for the cantina. I am of course referring to BOM VIMDIM. Wheres the figure love for are favorite horned patron?

There are a couple more significant Cantina aliens coming this Fall, but Bom won't be among them. Right now, we think you can look for him near the end of 2010 as long as things stay on schedule.

However, I think the last part of Hasbro's comments proves my point. Things don't always stay on schedule. I think votes should not be culled and people should vote for who they want to be sure Hasbro makes. I think people should decide if they want to vote for Ackbar, Bom, a Gamorrean, or Woof knowing they are LIKELY to get them anyway.

That said, could you please clarify if votes for Wooof and the others count or if they are thrown out as no votes? If they are thrown out I will make new choices. If they count I will leave them. And does this apply to both lists, the "name your top 30" and the "rank your top 10"?

[Mad Slanted Powers]

The Eopie is just being offered now, as the new packaging comes with a form to send away for it. 5 UPC's and $6.99 ($8.99 Canadian). Requests must be postmarked by March 31, 2010 (Received by April 8). Allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.

It's awesome news that the Gamorrean Guard and Bom Vimdim might actually be added to the confirmed list, but I'm running out of characters to vote for in the regular poll who aren't write ins. :cross-eye

And does this apply to both lists, the "name your top 30" and the "rank your top 10"?First, let me address your main question, what happens to votes for Wooof and other figures taken off the list. Anything committed to in the next 18 months is not going to make our final list, those votes will be tossed because it makes no sense to vote for something that already is underway. This would apply to both versions of the list, it's not fair to dedicate slots to figures that are already being planned.

As for Bom Vimdin, that's the line I'm not ready to cross, I had already seen that answer and Hasbro's inability to commit to the figure means it's still on the bubble IMO. It's a close call, I know, but there are just too many conditional clauses in the answer, and the timeline on it means it's not yet in any stage of production except maybe budgeting. It's really really close, and I will understand if folks don't want to vote for it for just that reason, but I'm not ready to call it in the bag yet.

Robo-Maul is on track for comic-packs, that whole line is backed up so it's not there yet. Keep in mind, the sculpt shown in the Insider was a raw sculpt, not yet tooled, so it had a lot of time before it was to come out anyway.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Thanks a bunch. I'm gonna need yet another ROTJ figure, I'm cutting the Gamorrean Guard. After Vedain and Attark is Laudica. She already had a couple votes already.

[JediTricks]

Thanks. Dang, I can't believe I missed this post until now, oh well. She's on the list now.

Any of your lists getting short on candidates, perhaps ESB? If we somehow took 10 figures off the ESB list for winning spots 1-10, would we have 10 more to fill it for round 2?

There will be plenty for each. I can just go down the list of the original polls to the dreg figures if we need to.

[JediTricks]

You mean you're not already?!? :eek:

[Mad Slanted Powers]

You mean you're not already?!? :eek:

Not quite. There are a few in there, but there are also a lot of good ones that I think should be higher, at least on the EU list. Bastila Shan is doing well in the top 30 poll thread, but she is still a few more places down the list in the original EU poll.

[JediTricks]

Man, that's a scary thought, some of the stuff on these lists I wouldn't even scrape off my shoe.

[JediTricks]

Well, it looks like we need to keep a running list of figures that are confirmed and shouldn't be voted for. I'll put it in the opening post of the next one, not in list form though as it takes up too much space.

[JediTricks]

I just changed Sheckil's name to "Lt. Sheckil", someone posted a vote for him that way, and even though he doesn't come up on Wookieepedia under his rank, it does mention it there. I think more folks will consider him when they realize he's not an alien.

[agentorange1976]

Just a thought: does it make sense to count votes for Funeral Pyre Vader when Hasbro proposed him as part of a battle pack and we're proposing basic carded figures?

D

[JediTricks]

The Funeral Pyre Vader shown at Comic-Con is an unproduced prototype, it even had a card asking fans if they should make it. I'm not trying to make format choices for this list, some of the figures that were in the last fans choice poll ended up coming out in alternate methods such as comic packs. But what better way to tell Hasbro whether or not we want Funeral Pyre Vader than by including it on our list? They are basic-sized figures, that's the only restriction I'm putting on these for now, they have to be something that COULD fit on a basic card or similar format. That's the difference between that vote and a Hutt, we're not putting Rancors or Tauntauns on these lists.



On another matter, I goofed allowing Commander Fox onto our list and am cutting him now, using another figure from the CW pool.

[agentorange1976]

They are basic-sized figures, that's the only restriction I'm putting on these for now, they have to be something that COULD fit on a basic card or similar format.

Yeah, what the heck—if they can fit Ephant Mon on a card, why not a pyre? I think this is a great idea, but if they go through with it, I hope they can sharpen the definition of the flames. Anyway, gettin' off-topic, sorry.

There's been a gajillion "allllllmost" answers for Bom Vimdin being confirmed, and JabbaJohn has brought up another one which hasn't been posted on their site but is now on the Hasbro round-up:

http://forums.sirstevesguide.com/showpost.php?p=692146&postcount=111

Honestly, I'm beginning to think we should cut Bom Vimdin from our list. I know that's not going to be a popular choice what with him being #3 at the top and all, it'll be very difficult to figure out how to appropriately fill that void (kick the rest up and we have round 1 giving us 1-9, but include the 11th figure from there and round 2's results will be tainted). Or maybe we should leave well enough alone.

Thoughts?

[bigbarada]

I just looked at my top 30 and noticed that it has 4 characters who have been confirmed in one way or another (Gamorrean, Wooof, Ackbar, Bom Vimdim). I'm assuming I need to redo my list.

[JediTricks]

You don't HAVE to, the tallymaster can adjust your list so it'd have blank slots at the end, but it probably is a good idea.

We haven't decided on Bom Vimdin yet though, so you may want to wait to post your final list until that decision is made.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

For the top 30 poll, we can just take the next ones after #30. For the 3 round poll, if you take off a figure that has already made the list, we can just have the final round be the top 11 that make it (or however many is needed to get to 30).

Please leave him there. Next year is the 30th of Empire. I could see Han being the one they are talking about and them pushing Bom yet again. They warned us we'd get him - if things held. We're submitting 30 to Hasbro; it isn't like if one is one they intended to do we wasted our voice - we still have 29. I don't want Hasbro to think interest in Bom waned.

EDIT: Besides, everyone who voted for him KNEW he was very strongly suspected and still wanted to send that message to Hasbro. Let's keep sending that message.

We're submitting 30 to Hasbro; it isn't like if one is one they intended to do we wasted our voice - we still have 29. I don't want Hasbro to think interest in Bom waned.

EDIT: Besides, everyone who voted for him KNEW he was very strongly suspected and still wanted to send that message to Hasbro. Let's keep sending that message.

My sentiments exactly. They still haven't given an absolute confirmation on him, so we don't want to give them the wrong message, and they end up scrapping him or shelving him for a few more years because they think he's no longer wanted.

For the top 30 poll, we can just take the next ones after #30. For the 3 round poll, if you take off a figure that has already made the list, we can just have the final round be the top 11 that make it (or however many is needed to get to 30).That makes sense. It'll be a lot more obvious come 7pm tonight, I can't wait to see how the second set of results matches up to the first.
