Sword FTW!

Oddly enough, if I had voted on the previous thing, it've been a tie. I'm going to make sure I vote on this one now and not consider it for a while.

Our glorious Milky Way is a tiny, infinitesimal speck of sand in this vast, incomprehensible universe. And somewhere in that Milky Way is our own solar system, less than one billionth of that speck of sand that is the Milky Way. And then there is our planet Earth, one hundred trillionth of that one billionth of that one speck of sand. And on this planet Earth there is DEV-0, an insignificant blemish with a lifespan too short to measure when placed in infinite time.

And you are here, with them, as so many specks of sand.

As a footnote to your comment, if you had voted for the Gormiti (keeping it a tie) he would have won. He had more comments stating a vote for him.

"Disney" or "Abstract"?

"Rescue Rangers" or "Urban Vinyl"?

...That Army ant has far to much personality to lose my vote. Sword Indeed.

Divide & conquer works because of attachments people make to push-button issues, individual "leaders," parties, clans, tribes, policies, or agendas, leaving them open to manipulation.

Aw man! Grey aliens and pirates!! Two of the coolest things you could make toys out of!

I voted for Grey Matter as he is the only grey alien toy i can think of and to be honest there should be more toylines based on them. Also... It looks like the army ants sword is attatched to his antenae. I don't like it one bit, sure it is no where near as severe as the the MIMP with the gravestone attached to his leg, but still it grinds my gears!!

Normally I'm a pretty big sucker for Army Ants and a peg-leg is always appealing, but there's an intangible quality to that Ben 10 figure. Admittedly, I know nothing about that TV show. Perhaps if I saw the cartoon I'd hate the figure, but in my current state – I just love it.

I saw Soupie highlight this figure somewhere (Toypedia or a thread here) and I just instantly loved it. In fact I started walking past the Ben 10 toys hoping to see it on clearance. The $7 for two figures seemed steep. I don't know what I really like about this figure. It doesn't have an overly playable sculpt or amazing detail. This figure just feels like a piece of art to me. For some reason it speaks to me and I can't quite quantify it. For that simple and odd reason Grey Matter gets my vote.

I went with Heave Ho. I love that peg leg. The Ben 10 figure is nice, but to me lacks that little something extra the ant has.

I couldn't decide between the two since they both have their own strengths. Then I noticed the peg-leg. Then I still couldn't decide. So I went with Heave Ho because it took me longer to appreciate the entirety of the figure. Still Grey Matter is a pretty solid sculpt.
