The question for this tournament is, "Which is the overall better figure?"

Note: This tournament features many different types of figures, please consider the entirety of a figure (sculpt, detailing, materials, originality, etc.) when voting. Additionally we ask for understanding with the lack of consistent pictures. Do not dismiss a figure because of a poor picture. Please feel free to post a better picture of the figure you selected.

Kiiid MUSCLE! Kiiiid MUSCLE!

...will probably be beaten by a badass figure.

However, at the last second, Kid Muscle gets a second wind and kinnikubusts or Muscle Millinium's out the Bad Egg.

Unless the Bad Egg's name is Kevin and has a huyuuuge group of fans...

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.

That Poacher figure is boss. Are these Bad Eggz figures expensive? Rare? Never released in the US? I'm just trying to figure out why the hell i don't have any.

That Poacher figure is awesome, definitely one of my favorite figures in this tournament. I love his sinister pig/ogre sculpt... he kind of reminds me of Ganon from the earlier Legend of Zelda games. I also love his jawbone club. What a cool little detail!

Kid Muscle isn't really bad. He's kind of a good basic hero figure. But there's nothing about the figure that's particularly distinctive. So I'm going with Poacher.

Poacher just crawled out of my worst nightmare. And Kid Muscle's cause he's going down.

The UM line is simply the most effeminate line of boy toys ever. Again, all I see is a dancing pose from that figure. And the hair and head have a very "swooshy" feel to it. If the thumbs were up and the hands closed, I'd swear to god it was a drag queen doing an exaggerated Fonzie pose.

Can we all just admit it? The Bad Eggz Bunch are going to see a major hike in prices. These figures are just awesome. Great detail, interesting, unique, and available in a few colors – it just screams to be collected.

My vote is for Poacher.

Galithsan is actually has two of the softer ones available right now.

And, Veers, I couldn't agree more about the greatness of BEBs. And it's not just their sculpts, color, and size. It is their availability. Two different plastic materials. The number of colors. The number of sculpts. The "egg" theme. Etc.

Imo, Bad Eggz Bunch is the model mini-fig line.

I agree with everyone. Bad Eggz is a superior mini fig toyline especially to UM. From what I have experienced of these they are really expensive and hard to get right? I remember watching an ebay auction a while back that changed my mind to collect BEB at the time. Maybe one day I can splurge on some BEB.

Long story short, Poacher gets my vote.

Hey now, don't knock the U.M. Micros. There are some pimptacular figures in that line, that we haven't seen yet this tourney.
However, this Kid Muscle sculpt definitely lacks the M.U.S.C.L.E..

The B.E.B. line and particularly this figure are totally freaking sweet! Someone needs to ~~bootleg~~, er, customize a set, and quick!

BEB for the win!

Hell, someone order up a batch of 100,000 BEB sets and get them into fifty cent machines as 'Demon-iick Eggz.'

I love Poacher. But Kid muscle isn't bad, I actually like this figure, and most of his sculpts in the UM micro line aren't bad....it's just there are too many of them.

Poacher gets the vote for originality, lack of availability, and all around awesomeness.

unlike a lot of muscle collectors out there, i actually love the ultimate muscles - not this one tho, he is a goofter!

the bad eggz bunch dude, he is what i like in a figure grotesque, ugly and mean looking. Everyone knows the bad guys look the best!

i 2nd that and agree wholy!!!!
long before more 50 cents figures are turned into $15 customs, THESE need to be made!! just think, TGB could probably sell more of them than galoob got a chance to. and his would be cheaper than the real ones go for (and nicer or as nice) -i'd pay $300 for a set (that'd be $12.50 per figure)
who know, now that the z-bots have been coming out as cheap knockoffs, maybe BEB will too.

anyway - i just dont think i like UM figs. i havent seen one in this tourny that i havent hated.
Poacher is so freakin cool - i have been after BEBs for years, but they are just too price prohibitive for me. i usually give up on them after a few months and retry a few months later.
looks like it'll never happen now.

I really wanted to vote for Kid Muscle.

Really.

But i just ...couldnt..get ..past..the hair. Ugh.

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.

i think for the ultimate muscle figs to have any kind of chance in this tournament they need to be the non-painted versions. the painted ones are crappy at best. even though they're the same sculpt as the flesh ones, they just don't have that lrg appeal.

bad eggz bunch are rapidly approaching the top of my wants list.

if i encounter the demons in hell, i will kill them all..
