2010 Most Requested Figure"},"content":{"rendered":"

<\/a>In 2010, IAT featured 33 candidates from across the toy spectrum – the return for old lines, key figures missing from current lineups, properties in need of toys, characters that have never been featured in toy form, etc. Then, we asked you to vote. Here’s your choice for IAT’s 2010 Most Requested Figure<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

In April, August, & December, your votes selected a handful of those thirty-three into eleven finalists. Today, we’ll reveal how those eleven did in your 2010 year-end poll…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Eleventh Place<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/a><\/td>\n Rita received only 3% of the vote in our final poll, but her article remainined popular throughout the entire year. Bandai’s been making Power Rangers figures since the early 90s and still<\/em> hasn’t found time to make a figure of the series most popular villain.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Tenth Place<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Gangbuster was the winner of our “Obscure DC Character” vote back in May, but received only 4% of the vote in this final round. It’s not that we don’t love Gangbuster, but he couldn’t compete with the handful of more popular DC characters that made it into the final round alongside him.<\/td>\n<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ninth Place<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/a><\/td>\nI was hoping for a higher showing for Rescue in our poll, but I think she suffered the same fate as Gangbuster with the Marvel vote favoring the much more popular Invisible Woman.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Eighth Place<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Crisis on Two Earths <\/em>not getting a tie-in toy line was one of the bigger disappointments with Mattel’s offerings last year. It was one of the best animated movies in DC’s recent crop (certainly much better than the subpar Public Enemies <\/em>which did receive product support), but it’s been nearly a year since the release and toy collectors have clearly moved on. COTE received just 6% of the final vote.<\/td>\n<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Seventh Place<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/a><\/td>\nThis 80s toy line received just 8% of the vote, but I still have hope to see it get a much needed update some day…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Sixth Place<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Another old toy line that received some love in our Most Requested column, this line was doing well in the first few days of the poll, but a late push for some of the other properties pushed this once great toy line down to sixth place with just 9% of the vote.<\/td>\n<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fourth Place – Tie<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/a>
<\/a><\/td>\n		For fourth place, two entries ended up tied at 11%, DC’s Freedom Fighters and Marvel’s Invisible Woman. An MU Sue Storm is bound to make an appearance in the line sooner or later and Uncle Sam’s mostly been tooled by Mattel with Joker & Gentlemen Ghost (though I’m not sure how close we are to the other Freedom Fighters), but that didn’t stop these two from ending high in the poll.<\/tr>\n
Third Place<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The Scourge of Carpathia! Vigo hovered near the fourth place properties for a lot of the poll, but received a few more votes on the last day to get himself into the top three. The Ghostbusters line hasn’t been the smash success that many thought it would and the removal of the Four Horsemen as sculptors is a bummer. I’ve stopped collecting the line, but even I want to see Vigo get his moment in plastic.<\/td>\n<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Place<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/a><\/td>\nIf collectors have one thing to say to Mattel over and over, it’s “finish teams”. The line has been strong for over three years now and collectors still can’t complete one team. We’re missing key League & Society members, the Doom Patrol & Metal Men are close, the Titans are a mess, and then there’s the Crime Syndicate. Ultraman was available in a Matty 2pk in 2009 and we haven’t heard anything on the other four members since. At 15% of the vote, collectors would certainly like to see Mattel finish up the evil Justice League from Earth-3.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

If you’ve been following along, you probably already know who that leaves. This was a surprise to everyone here at IAT. This entry took down some classic DC & Marvel characters to win the top spot…<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

It was the MOTU Fans who mobilized to get their entry into the top spot this year. ‘BB’ Teela was a little known costume variant of Teela from the original DC Comics mini-series featuring Masters of the Universe. But, as MOTU Classics, has gained in popularity, fans have been looking for possible new additions to the line instead of just redos of the original figures. BB Teela has become one of the more popular “new” figures asked for by MOTU fans and it’s appropriate that she is the 2010 Most Requested Winner<\/strong>! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
