For me this was an easy choice - The Megaman sculpt wins handsdown. I think it looks awesome! The best megaman sculpt i have seen so far. The Claws, the tail, the armour the details. It has all the components needed to make a truly great figure, it is a figure you could quite happily sit and look at time and time again.

The army ant figure does look fun, i like the idea, it would be nice if rotor blades spun round. I can imagine as a child i would have liked the playability factor of this figure, but he just cannot stand up against the well designed Volt Catfish... I would be suprised if this figure did not go far in the tournament

I agree with musclemenkids. This matchup belongs to the catfish. It is definitely the best megaman sculpt I have personally ever seen. Windy is definitely one of the weaker army ant sculpts. This will probably be a landslide victory.

These both look like fun strong toys. I went with Volt Catfish just because the detaling is a little stronger and those claws are pretty cool looking.

Volt Catfish is a decent figure. However, I love aircraft, and Windy is a slick crossbreed of an ant and a helicopter. Sure, he's missing a tail-rotor, which is an essential feature on helicopters. But most folks probably wouldn't pick up on that--much less care--and as a kid, Windy is the one I would have played with. So Windy got my vote.

The child in me or the adult fan....who will win out?

I cant in good conscious give the Army Ant the nod here. Its bright , its fun, it has wings (fwoosh!!) but ultimately its run up against a superior sculpt in every area.

The MM keishi is also bright, it has sharp pinchers / hands, a tail and for as a bonus it has a strong detailed sculpt. The army ant just lost to a better LRG and theres no shame in that.

why is his name catfish when he obviously looks like a crawfish/ crawdad~? i pick him none the less... still hate army ants.

this one has all the makings of a bloodbath. definitely one of the strongest sculpts i've seen from the mega man line. this orange army figure just can't compete. sure it'd be fun to play with flying around. but it'd be much funner to take over the universe with volt catfish. i think musclemenkids is right, we'll prolly see the mega man fig go deep into the tournament.

[spastik4plastik]

i generally like army ants a lot but windy just isnt one of my favs.
volt catfish is a freakin AWESOME figure but suffers from the same thing that can ruin an armyant. without the tail, volt catfish looks like crap (not carp) and it is common to find missing its tail.

i went with VC cuz this one has its tail intact

That's not Volt Catfish.....It's Crush Crawfish Veersy.

Megaman always get my vote.

This is true. Glad to see someone else around here knows their Mega Man.

My vote is for Crush Crawfish, that Army Ants figure is definitely one of my least favorites out of that line. And you can't go wrong with aquatic robots.

I will probably vote for Volt Catfish too, if he ever comes up for reals.

Yeah, I'm sure the Megaman series will dominate this tournament. The Robot Master sculpts have always been top notch for their size. REALLY US toy companies could still learn a thing or two from the Japanese sculptors who seem to catch even the most minuscule detail in even their smallest toy lines.
