You may have wondered about that funny button next to Forums. Our Spotlight section is a work in progress. We're not quite sure what it will end up being, but for now, it'll house our Marvel Legends Top 10 vote results and our figure of the year articles. In the meantime, we have other ideas percolating. Stay tuned.
I'll plan to update this thread whenever we post something new.

I didn’t think that it would be easy to pick a Figure of the Year, but I didn’t think it was going to be this hard.
