Top 3 figures of the year, some tough choices, plenty of stupendous figures were released this year. My top 3:


1. The Hot Toys 1/4 QS009 Batman Begins Batman figure, I've been wanting a Batman from BB from HT, and then they delivered it in the awesome quarter scale. Batman Begins is one of my most favorite superhero films and to have a friggin' spectacular representation of the film is incredible to me. It's my first super high-end collectible BB figure and it's glorious :thud:

(I haven't gotten around to taking photos of my figure so I'll post a promo picture.)

2. The Hot Toys 1/6 Iron Man Mark IV with Suit-Up Gantry. I quite like the earlier IM armors from the films, and the Mk IV has a comic evocation about it. This figure is so awesome, and on top of that, having a big, tech-y diorama to go along with it is just even more awesome. I'm a big fan of the "mech" aspect if IM and this set delivers.

3. The Mezco One:Twelve Collective Special Ops SDCC Punisher. The Punisher is my most favorite superhero of all time and I'm floored to be able to get this one. What I just absolutely like is that it has the classic silhouette outlay of the skull, white gloves, belt, and boots but also has a realistic tactical look and it just blows me away. It comes with a ton of accessories which definitely adds to it. I missed out on a few of the previous Punishers from Mezco but I have to say this is my most favorite Punisher action figure.

I suppose I'll throw in a vote for the Hot Toys Iron Man Diecast Mark IV aswell. It's the only Hot Toys I bought this year and for the past couple of years actually.
 
There were a lot of really good figures out there this year. Only voted with figures I actually got:

HT Wonder Woman in Training Armor:

HT Anakin Skywalker:

HT Tarkin:

...and I didn't get them until 2018, but I have to mention HT Hoth Leia & SSC Dengar as HMs:

There are a lot of late comers from 2018 I haven't got yet that I wish had been in the running for 2018 like Mythos Kenobi and TLJ Luke. Maybe 2019...

The top two rhyme with PooDoo and Fella.

Third is too close to call....

Objectively:

1. Tarkin
2. Neo
3. Jack Sparrow or Yondu

Personally:

1. Diecast Mark IV (Proportions, accessories, likeness -- in that order)
2. Neo (Shelf presence, likeness, accessories)
3. Tarkin (Likeness is a slam dunk)

*Edit: I should add that I would have had Tech Suit Homecoming Spider-Man in there, but the underlying sculpt/shape of his arms really lets me down. I love the figure but the arms lack definition and need to be angled just so or don't look right to me.
 
For me, it would be as follows:

1. Hot Toys Grand Moff Tarkin (ANH)
2. Hot Toys Yondu (GOTG2)
3. Hot Toys Hela (Ragnarok)

Of those three, the only one I personally have is Tarkin. But every picture I see of the other two seems amazing!
 
There were so many awesome figures, it’s my favorite year of collecting since I started. Here’s to another year of cool figures!

My top three:
QMX Westley/Dread Pirate Roberts
Hot Toys Yondu
JL Tactical Suit Batman
 
All picks are Hot Toys 1:6 figures.

1. ROTS Anakin Skywalker, dark side
2. ROTJ Emperor
3. ESB Darth Vader

Anakin is a split or pooled vote since he got 2 figures?
