Another year has come and gone, and here at the Fwoosh, that means one thing: It’s time for the annual Marvel Legends Top Ten Vote!
Before we get to voting we have to recap last year’s top ten. Spiral the number seven finisher, Longshot the number three finisher, Avalance the number two finisher and number one finisher Banshee have all been announced or are already in our collections. So that leaves over half the top ten left but, we scored some longtime wants that were consistent top ten finishers. Plus, the number four finisher Rachel Summers, was teased way back in 2021 but still no real reveal. So she’s obviously on the Legends team’s radar but still fair game.
It definitely wasn’t one of those years where the top ten just got smashed and seven or eight out of the ten were revealed. But it still was a solid showing. Plus my personal number one got made for the third year in a row! [Classic Storm, Shadowcat, and Longshot] Kidding aside, let’s get to why we’re here. Voting will run through February 6th 2023.
This is what we want to know: who are the ten characters plus one build-a-figure you want to be given the Legends treatment?
That said, there are, of course, some rules. I can’t stress enough, you need to follow these. Especially the form in which you submit your votes.
The Rules
1. You must have a Disqus account to vote.
2. Only one vote per person. We have multiple ways to identify duplicate votes, so don’t try to vote under a different name. You may edit your vote as many times as you want until the voting has closed. Just make sure you edit your original post, Do not start a new one if you want to change your vote.
3. You are voting for ten characters and ONE build a figure you want to be made into 6-inch scale Marvel Legends action figures. Keep in mind that any character whose figure would be bigger than Hyperion may end up being a BAF. If you want a smaller BAF like Rocket Racoon or Jubilee, that’s completely fine too.
They can be redos of characters we already have, but requesting very specific or one off looks from one panel or one book may get them merged into the main character category. You can even vote for a character whose figure has been revealed, but has never been released.
4. Post your votes in the following format. This is absolutely critical:
Rom
Colossus [Outback]
Beyonder
Dr. Bong
Daredevil [Netflix Black Suit]
Kitty Pryde [Sprite]
Rachel Summers
Psylocke [Armored]
Monica Rambeau [Photon]
Goblin Quuen
BAF Lockjaw
Feel free to copy and paste the list above and then change the characters to your picks. Or keep mine. Whatever you like.
5. NO numbers. Your votes can be spaced one name per line or no spaces, just make sure it’s not in sentence format. We feed this into a computer program and it’s very important for those of us counting these up that it’s in this format. The order in which you list the characters is not important!
6. Please place the “BAF” letters in front of your BAF choice. It makes it much easier to tabulate the votes.
7. Check your spelling. As we said, we are feeding this into a computer program, and it’s important all characters have their names spelled correctly. It also helps if we all go by the same names. For example, if someone put Hulk down in their vote and meant it to be the Amadeus Cho version, and then someone else put down Amadeus Cho in another vote, it will be counted as different characters. So please try to be consistent and specific about characters with the same names.
8. We can’t normalize versions of characters without a lot of extra work. For instance, “Classic Kitty Pryde” is going to have difficulty being counted. When we tabulate the votes, we will do our best to separate designs and costumes because it gives us a sense of what designs are popular, but we can’t guarantee that every look will be counted. Some costume differences are very minute, or if you’re not specific it may get lost in the votes for a different look. So if you see someone before you post a version of a character you want too, use the same name for it [modern,classic,etc.] they did. Just be sure that you list the character’s name first, and note the version in brackets, like this:
Kitty Pryde [Sprite]
Seriously. Just like that. No commas, colons, semicolons, exclamation points, ellipsis, parentheses, dashes, hyphens or quotation marks.
And try to keep it brief. No need to specify issues or panels.
9. Read the other votes. Try and keep your votes in the same form as the previous votes if you are voting for a costume, era, or character specific.
10. No “talking” in the voting comment section. This comment section is for voting only. If you want to talk about the vote, post in the vote discussion thread in the forum. The comment section is only for data collection, and should have nothing in there except votes.
If you don’t follow the rules, your vote won’t be counted and that can definitely alter the outcome of the poll.
So let’s get to it. Think about who you want and let your voices be heard!
