New Site! New Vote!
Our Top votes will be given to the Hasbro Team at SDCC in some form...


Please vote for:
10 standard single card characters - comic, cinematic (film, TV, animated, live-action), video game.
1 BAF/Deluxe size SINGLE figure: either one BAF or one Deluxe figure. No 2-packs or multi-packs.
1 HasLab/Oversize (Dragon Man model) figure, vehicle, playset, prop.

And new for Articulated Thoughts -
1 Maximum Series-style figure
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.), Defenders (original, New, Last, etc.), X-Men (Outback, AOA, etc.), Avengers (Stern, Buisek/Perez, 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/HasLab/Maximum areas UNLESS you also vote for them in those other catagories.
Example: I voted for the Rangers as my Group Boxset and I voted for Firebird as an individual character. The Rangers collectively get 1 vote and Firebird gets 1 vote as an individual choice. Firebird does not get 2 votes as an individual character.


- 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 with the same code name (Falcon, Talisman, etc.), indicate who you mean.
- Comic versions, film/TV versions and video game versions are notated 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 (Storm, 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, you MUST 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!
- Tell people about our new site and have them sign up! The more voting the merrier!

Last day to vote: Sunday May 25th, 11:59 pm PST. You have until that time to make any edits.

Have fun!
