Time to vote!
Our Top votes will be given to the Hasbro Team at SDCC!

The Legends team LOVED the trading cards last year, mentioning them in several panels and at the Hasbro booth.
Many thanks to @hmmberto for making the trading cards, @SDcomics for giving the card sets out to the Legends team and @TheSameIdiot for making this site!

Onto the Vote!
NOTE: Please read the descriptions carefully. There are some alterations from last years Top 10 vote. Thanks for the feedback!


Please vote for:
10 standard single card characters - comic, cinematic (film, TV, animated, live-action), games, video game - everything and anything goes!
1 BAF/Deluxe size SINGLE figure: either one BAF or one Deluxe figure. No 2-packs or multi-packs.
1 Oversize entry: Legendary Rider, Made-To-Order, HasLab figure(s), vehicle, playset, prop, throne.
1 Group Boxset - Any grouping that has a name attached like - Invaders, U-Foes, Daughters of the Dragon, Serpent Society, Rangers, Sinister Six, Warrior's Three, etc. Groups can also be team/storyline/Writer specific: Masters of Evil (original, Under Siege, etc.), X-Men (Outback, AOA, Morrison, etc.), Avengers (Buisek/Perez, Celestial Madonna etc.) etc.
If you list specific characters in the Group Boxset section, they are tallied as a group in that section alone. The individual characters do not receive votes in the Top 10 Standard/BAF/Oversize/Maximum areas UNLESS you also vote for them in other categories.

As you make your selections:
- Notate a specific costume/era/storyline if you'd like.
- Character names without a description default to "classic" and/or "traditional", usually defaulting to the Official Handbook images.
- For characters that share code names (Falcon, Phoenix, etc.), indicate specifically which character you mean.
- Comic versions, film/TV versions and video game versions are tallied separately. Each media is unique to itself. So, comic Daredevil is tabulated separately from Charlie Cox Daredevil, who is tabulated separately from Ben Affleck Daredevil, who is tabulated separately from any video game versions.
- Different costumes for a single character (comic Storm, MCU Scarlet Witch, etc.) will be tabulated all together for that character, not as separate entries. All costume variations will be included in that character's final tally and listed.
- For questionable scale characters (are they standard single-card or BAF/deluxe?), the final votes will go to whichever scale gets the most initial votes, so no votes will be lost.
- Add pictures if you'd like. Make sure the costume pictured is the version of the costume you want.
- If you include pictures, PLEASE include who the character is by name. My Marvel knowledge is pretty good, but it's not 100% accurate on a visual alone. If I don't know who a character is, I can't tabulate it.
- These are tabulated by hand, not computer program.
- Please let other Articulated Thoughts forums you visit know this is happening. The goal is to get as many people to vote as possible for a great cross-section of Legends fans!
- Blast this vote on your social media platforms - Facebook, Insta, Reddit, etc. Tell people about our site and have them sign up! The more voting the merrier!

Last day to vote: Saturday May 23th, 11:59 pm PST. You have until that time to make any edits.

Have fun!

Thanks as always for running the vote, Beamish! I call dibs on the extra vote of anyone who misses a category.

Like Beamish mentioned, we will be doing card sets again this year to deliver to the team at SDCC, just like we did last year. If anyone is interested in getting a set for themselves, shoot me a PM. They aren't super cheap - probably around $35/set after shipping - but I'm more than happy to make and distribute the extras if people are interested and able to cover the cost.
