RESULTS ARE IN! The Official Articulated Thoughts 2025 Top 10 Poll

If only there was some way we could be sure that the ML team knows what our most wanted figures are...

Thanks for using the favicon (which I have taken a liking to) and not my terrible banner logo. 😄

Huge thank you to @hmmberto, @Beamish, and @SDcomics for putting this together. They took on the same project at Fwoosh last year, and somehow, without the use of PMs, they orchestrated the same feat. I'm not privy to all the discussions, but from what I understand, Beamish ran the top 10 vote, hmmberto designed, printed, and shipped the cards, and SDC will distribute these to the Hasbro team next week.

These guys do this on their own time and dime. It's an awesome labor of love, and as an added bonus, it lends us legitimacy. The Hasbro team regularly referenced Fwoosh and the Marvel Legends top 10 vote. Before long, I hope they look to Articulated Thoughts for the same.

I'm grateful to be part of this community.
 
Our resident hero Beamish hosted the first annual Articulated Thoughts Top 10 / Most Wanted Marvel Legends figure vote earlier this year, and we decided the Marvel Legends team needed to know about it. Last year, we delivered the results of the Fwoosh vote via trading cards, by buying up a hodgepodge of official cards across various sets and series and delivering them to the team in a homemade card pack. This year, we decided to go a step further, and we immortalized the winners in a set of custom designed trading cards + foil packs!

The full set ended up being 24 cards total, representing the top winners in 4 categories:
  • 12 standard figures (to account for tied votes),
  • 3 Deluxe,
  • 2 Haslab
  • 3 Box Set.
  • 4 "Staff Picks"
  • The back of each card is the same, showing the full Checklist
The "Staff Picks" was something I slipped in, representing the top wants of the AT staff (TSI, Ace ofKnaves, Damien) and also Beamish, as the champion of the top 10 vote. I didn't check with all of them since I wanted it to be a surprise, and I had a pretty good idea of who wanted what. Two caveats here: SDC, the only reason I didn't include you in this category is because the Invaders had already made the cut - otherwise, they would have been included for you! And, I must apologize to Boy Wonder, who I did not realize when making the cards was a mod here - if I had, you would have also been included. Next time!

Instead of splitting them up, each card pack contained the full set of 24 cards. Big shoutout SDcomics for being our point man and handling all of the delivery at the con - he managed to get a set each to Dwight, Dan, Jesse Falcon, and Ryan at the show. Ryan's set also included a very nice note that TSI wrote, passing along our collective appreciation for all his contributions to making ML what it is. SDcomics and Beamish both shared pictures and/or stories about people's reactions to the sets from SDCC in the linked posts - check them out!

All the credit in the world for actually making the cards belongs to my very talented wife, who took this from a project I was going to DIY in Canva as a total novice and turned it into something special. They wouldn't have turned out nearly as well as they did without the time she put in to dial in the formatting, layouts, colors, etc. I've passed along some of the great feedback we got from the con and let her know her hard work was appreciated!
