As any Star Wars action figure collector will tell you how much he or she really enjoyed, and appreciated, the fact that Hasbro, the company responsible for turning our favorite, and somestimes least favorite, characters from the Star Wars galaxy into action figures, showed their respect for the fans by allowing us to vote on what character(s) we'd like to see as action figures! We were then disappointed when Hasbro stopped their Fans' Choice poll, seemingly turning their proverbial backs on the folks responsible for making Hasbro tons of dough every year.
Well I'm very pleased to announce that Hasbro once again cares what we want!
That's right. Hasbro's "Star Wars Fans' Choice" Poll returns here in 2011!
Check out Yodanews.com's recent announcement:
Hasbro is pleased to once again invite us and our readers to help determine its next STAR WARS Fans’ Choice figure! With your help, we will submit nominees from for the Fans’ Choice poll, which will determine a character to be included in Hasbro’s STAR WARS action figure line in 2013, in time for the 30th anniversary of STAR WARS: EPISODE VI RETURN OF THE JEDI.
Which characters would you like to be considered for the next STAR WARS Fans’ Choice figure? Send them to us at Yodasnews@gmail.com with your top 10. They should be ranked in order of importance from 1-10. All polling result lists will be combined together (each site getting an equal voice) with the #1 character on each list worth 10 points, the #2 character worth 9 points, the #3 worth 8 points, etc.
The resultant point values will be used to generate the final ballot of 20 choices, which will be announced in October by STAR WARS Insider on their website (http://titanmagazines.com/t/star-wars-insider/). Fans will then be able to vote on STAR WARS Insider’s site for their favorite character out of the Top 20, and the character with the most votes as of December 1st will be the new STAR WARS Fans’ Choice figure!
Please note: any characters selected from the current STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS animated series would be done in a realistic style and we need all e-mails no later than 5 p.m. on Wednesday, September 26, 2011. The winning character will be announced at Hasbro’s 2012 Collector-Fan Media Day event at Toy Fair in New York in February 2012.
Be sure to get your vote in and be heard!
