This year, we’ve featured eighteen Most Requested articles. And although we really wanted each and everything we asked for, we also want to know which of the Most Requested Figures really is the most requested. And the best part is, you get to decide.
Before we get into the nominess, we decided on one ground rule. The figure still must require a request – they can’t be announced/scheduled in anyway. This disqualified Martian Manhunter as his barcode is present in the Wal-Mart computers. We considered disqualifying Ghostbusters minimates, as two of the ones requested are in the third 4pk, but we’ve left it in as there are plenty of others that could use minimate treatment.
Before we get to the poll, here again, are the nominees.

The voting will be conducted in two rounds. The first round starts today and will run until 11:59pm on Tuesday, the 22nd. In this round, you’re being asked to choose three characters. And, in the event that you just can’t find three, we’ve included an “Other” option so that you can add your own.
Then, on the 23rd, we’ll reveal the results and the top three vote getters will go head-to-head in Round Two. Round Two will run from the 23rd until the end of the year. And on January 1st, we’ll crown our Most Requested figure/line of 2009.
You can choose any three. If you want to choose three write-ins, simply write-in three characters (along with the company/line) separated by commas. If you choose write-ins, you can campaign for them below and hopefully sway others to your cause!
Thank you for your participation and be sure to check back on the 23rd to see the results and vote in Round Two!
damn, i voted before reading that we could pick 3… oh well.
Let me know what your other two were and I can add them back in. I also added the “Choose Three” to the title of the poll for the non-readers! 🙂
i voted extendar… i’d like to add xevoz and wind raider guy (i’m calling him wind rider till something better comes along). thanks noisy.
Wait, we can pick three?
Let me know what your other two were and I can add them back in.
C’mon Brother/Doctor Voodoo!
He’d be cool. They really need to make a lot from the SDCC vote.
Why would anyone vote for anything but Xevoz? We need those back!
I would love to see Xevoz return.
As a DCUC fan I would love to see some more JSA characters that includes the GA team & MA team. Toss in a C&C Ultra-Humanite and I’d be in 7th heaven
Hopefully, that new cardback means UH will be in our future and the GA JSA is shaping up, but I’d love to get more MA JSA too!
Looks like Ulta-Humanite is coming, Anubis.
Check out the new 2010 packaging for DCUC.
I agree, more JSA.
I’m hoping that the, “Flash2,” and “GreenLantern,” in the Wal-Mart computer mean Jay Garrick and Allen Scott.
I’m pretty sure you will get your wish on Alan, but not on Jay.
Rats!
I say, Rats!
Can I vote for Mera 3 times?
You can vote once for Mera and write-in Mera twice, so sure!
I would have replaced B.Voodoo with “Missing In Action” Poll figures from Wizard and SDCC’09.
JLU – only Toyman? I know, everyone has their own “Must” lists of characters that need to be done for any line, but there are a few more for JLU.
DCUC – again with the “Must” list, but singling out Bruce and Swamp Thing? Bruce was made for DCSH and Swamp falls under the VERTIGO BAN. I expect Bruce to show up again in a ‘new’ multi-pack.
What about GL Kyle/Guy/Alan/Jade and Adult Robin/Grayson? (The recently announced 2pk Drake repaint does NOT count!)
no comment on MOTUC, not collecting these after the 2002 fiasco.
Also, can we vote on the “missing” DCUC w5 and w8?
😉
LOL, no. 😀
Couldn’t be helped. The poll’s limited to the articles we’ve been doing since July and I didn’t want to expand it on myself. The other option is there for anyone that didn’t find what they liked among our featured characters!
And you’re missing out on MOTUC, man! Those figures are some of the best out there and aside from some credit card wrangling on Scareglow, I’ve gotten them all with ease.
Great choice there. Many articles I had missed, but overall some great choices – Mera, Arkillo, Rocketeer, how could I say no to any of those?
But my own choices for most wanted are my own, and you did nail one of them – Swamp Thing. My other two were write-ins, but don’t feel bad – you provided great options.
I’m happy for write-ins too. Thanks for voting!
I only voted once as well, but if you can, please add these other two choices: Arkillo, and Mera. (All DCUC. =)
Got ’em!
Some tough choices, but I went with Hellboy Comic (shamefully s-canned prematurely!), DCUC Swamp Thing (the 4H detailing would absolutely slay!) and MOTUC Extendar (always one of my faves).
Thanks for voting!
Choosing between DCUC Arkillo and JLU ToyMan was not an easy decision!
I’ll take Vigo from Ghostbusters II in any form; I REALLY want one in the 6″ line. That would be the #1 figure in my collection! It’s the one figure I want more than anything else!
Vigo would be cool. Vault thinks he should come with his portrait.
I wanted to write in Starro, Wally West Flash and Creeper becuase…
A) the Classic JLA need a Starro to do the classic pose with.
B) Wally has become a central part of the JLA in the last ten years.
C) Creeper would be so fun with DCUC articulation.
but I decided to go with Swamp Thing and Mera so my Manthing and Aquaman arn’t lonely and Toyman so my Ligion of Doom is complete.
LOL. All good choices.
I went with Mera for DCUC, Toyman for JLU, and wrote in “earth-2 Huntress”, but forgot to indicate that was for DCUC.
I got it covered!
Wow, ND, this was tough! Rocketeer and Swamp Thing were no-brainers for me, but I had trouble deciding between Sam Hain and Arkillo. I chose Sammy simply because Ark’s coming up in DCD and I think if need be he would blend with DCUC. However, I did write him in as “other,” specifying that he should be a C&C for the Classics line.
Also, Swamp Thing rules!!!
LOL. I know it’s almost a stacked deck for some of them.
Swamp Thing. Mera. Bruce Wayne.
This is a no brainer.
Lot of DCUC love there, Hank.
A lot of tough choices here. I want to do some write-ins, but I feel like I should pick three.
Write-ins are just fine. Vote with what you want!
That was perfect voting for 3. There were 3 characters I couldn’t choose between.
If your three end up being the top three, you might have a hard round two ahead of you!
I wrote in NECA Shredder.
That’d be great!
Rocketeer, Swamp Thing, and Mezco Hellboy!
Great choices!
I went all MOTU.
Extendar, Wind Raider Pilot??, and I wrote-in Sorceress!
If you click on him you could read the feature article, he’s obscure.
Xevoz and Stikfas do not exsist in 2009. What about Indie Spotlight? The Maxx seems twice and nice.
If it got an article it gets a spot in the poll. Thems the rules.
Round One is closed! Thanks for voting!
