Most Requested Year-End Poll: Choose Your Own

This year, we’ve featured eighteen Most Requested articles. And although we really wanted each and everything we asked for, we also want to know which of the Most Requested Figures really is the most requested. And the best part is, you get to decide.

Before we get into the nominess, we decided on one ground rule. The figure still must require a request – they can’t be announced/scheduled in anyway. This disqualified Martian Manhunter as his barcode is present in the Wal-Mart computers. We considered disqualifying Ghostbusters minimates, as two of the ones requested are in the third 4pk, but we’ve left it in as there are plenty of others that could use minimate treatment.

Before we get to the poll, here again, are the nominees.

JLU Toyman – Mattel More 25th Joes – Hasbro Rocketeer – Disney

Swamp Thing – Mattel Bruce Wayne – Mattel Doctor Voodoo – Hasbro
Samhain – Mattel Wind Raider Pilot – Mattel Mera – Mattel
Arkillo – Mattel Extendar – Mattel

The voting will be conducted in two rounds. The first round starts today and will run until 11:59pm on Tuesday, the 22nd. In this round, you’re being asked to choose three characters. And, in the event that you just can’t find three, we’ve included an “Other” option so that you can add your own.

Then, on the 23rd, we’ll reveal the results and the top three vote getters will go head-to-head in Round Two. Round Two will run from the 23rd until the end of the year. And on January 1st, we’ll crown our Most Requested figure/line of 2009.

You can choose any three. If you want to choose three write-ins, simply write-in three characters (along with the company/line) separated by commas. If you choose write-ins, you can campaign for them below and hopefully sway others to your cause!




Thank you for your participation and be sure to check back on the 23rd to see the results and vote in Round Two!

    1. Let me know what your other two were and I can add them back in. I also added the “Choose Three” to the title of the poll for the non-readers! 🙂

      1. i voted extendar… i’d like to add xevoz and wind raider guy (i’m calling him wind rider till something better comes along). thanks noisy.

  1. As a DCUC fan I would love to see some more JSA characters that includes the GA team & MA team. Toss in a C&C Ultra-Humanite and I’d be in 7th heaven

  2. Looks like Ulta-Humanite is coming, Anubis.
    Check out the new 2010 packaging for DCUC.
    I agree, more JSA.
    I’m hoping that the, “Flash2,” and “GreenLantern,” in the Wal-Mart computer mean Jay Garrick and Allen Scott.

  3. I would have replaced B.Voodoo with “Missing In Action” Poll figures from Wizard and SDCC’09.

    JLU – only Toyman? I know, everyone has their own “Must” lists of characters that need to be done for any line, but there are a few more for JLU.

    DCUC – again with the “Must” list, but singling out Bruce and Swamp Thing? Bruce was made for DCSH and Swamp falls under the VERTIGO BAN. I expect Bruce to show up again in a ‘new’ multi-pack.
    What about GL Kyle/Guy/Alan/Jade and Adult Robin/Grayson? (The recently announced 2pk Drake repaint does NOT count!)

    no comment on MOTUC, not collecting these after the 2002 fiasco.

    1. Couldn’t be helped. The poll’s limited to the articles we’ve been doing since July and I didn’t want to expand it on myself. The other option is there for anyone that didn’t find what they liked among our featured characters!

      And you’re missing out on MOTUC, man! Those figures are some of the best out there and aside from some credit card wrangling on Scareglow, I’ve gotten them all with ease.

  4. Great choice there. Many articles I had missed, but overall some great choices – Mera, Arkillo, Rocketeer, how could I say no to any of those?
    But my own choices for most wanted are my own, and you did nail one of them – Swamp Thing. My other two were write-ins, but don’t feel bad – you provided great options.

  5. I only voted once as well, but if you can, please add these other two choices: Arkillo, and Mera. (All DCUC. =)

  6. Some tough choices, but I went with Hellboy Comic (shamefully s-canned prematurely!), DCUC Swamp Thing (the 4H detailing would absolutely slay!) and MOTUC Extendar (always one of my faves).

  7. Choosing between DCUC Arkillo and JLU ToyMan was not an easy decision!

    I’ll take Vigo from Ghostbusters II in any form; I REALLY want one in the 6″ line. That would be the #1 figure in my collection! It’s the one figure I want more than anything else!

  8. I wanted to write in Starro, Wally West Flash and Creeper becuase…
    A) the Classic JLA need a Starro to do the classic pose with.
    B) Wally has become a central part of the JLA in the last ten years.
    C) Creeper would be so fun with DCUC articulation.

    but I decided to go with Swamp Thing and Mera so my Manthing and Aquaman arn’t lonely and Toyman so my Ligion of Doom is complete.

  9. I went with Mera for DCUC, Toyman for JLU, and wrote in “earth-2 Huntress”, but forgot to indicate that was for DCUC.

  10. Wow, ND, this was tough! Rocketeer and Swamp Thing were no-brainers for me, but I had trouble deciding between Sam Hain and Arkillo. I chose Sammy simply because Ark’s coming up in DCD and I think if need be he would blend with DCUC. However, I did write him in as “other,” specifying that he should be a C&C for the Classics line.

    Also, Swamp Thing rules!!!

  11. Xevoz and Stikfas do not exsist in 2009. What about Indie Spotlight? The Maxx seems twice and nice.
