Hasbro has given MakingStarWars readers the opportunity to participate in the first ever 6″ Star Wars: The Black Series Fan’s Choice Poll.
Readers will have the opportunity to vote for the character that they most want to see in the 6″ Black Series line. Once all the votes are tallied, we will send to Hasbro a list of the top six characters with the greatest number of votes.
The collective votes from MSW and other participating sites will be tabulated, and a final ballot of six will be launched July 2nd at 9:00 AM PST on StarWars.com. The winning character will then be announced at Hasbro’s Star Wars panel at San Diego Comic-Con on July 10th.
ALL Star Wars characters are eligible for the poll EXCEPT characters from Star Wars: The Force Awakens (so save those Supreme Leader Snoke votes, but Legends characters are fair game)!
Also, characters from Star Wars Rebels or The Clone Wars animated shows would be sculpted in the realistic style of the Star Wars: The Black Series line.
Results from individual websites are giving an rough idea of which 6 characters will end up in the final poll (which should show up on StarWars.com tomorrow) -
Poll is up - choices are Old Ben, Lando, Snowtrooper, Gamorrean Guard, General Grievous, Sabine Wren and Darth Revan.
Considering quite a few of those are main characters/choices for action figure lines, it seems a shame to waste an opportunity to get a lesser-made character. Hasbro doesn't need fans to tell them to make a snowtrooper, they've made plenty over the years. Personally I'm surprised there weren't more legend/expanded universe characters in the final list (I was totally expecting Mara Jade to make the finals).
My personal favourite is Revan .... please go vote for him
many good choices, i'd rather have grevious but i imagine they'll make him sooner or later (same goes for old ben) looks good that revan will be made 41%
I hope it leads to more EU characters being made, either line.
