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.

Tyrannoclaw, ~~hands~~ dinosaur head and tail down the winner. I've always loved this sculpt. So unique and original. And I typically do not like painted figures, but this paint scheme is nice.

In fact, this is one of my favorite figures of all time!

I've already shared all the problems I see with this figure. I don't feel any different. But poor Double Heather doesn't stand a chance here. She doesn't have a fraction of the interest, uniqueness, or playability.

I can see Tyrannoclaw going pretty far in this tournament, but it's going to be the figure that pains me the most to vote for. This tournament has just shown me how much I dislike UM figures.

My vote is for Tyrannoclaw.

Tyrannoclaw is not the best, but he gets my vote this round. I actually think he would be great with a different face.

This is very true. I'm obligated to vote for anything that's got a dinosaur head for a hand, but other than that Tyrannoclaw looks ridiculous. What is up with that face?

I have always been a big fan of figgies with 2 heads,4 arms,18 legs,etc.
That being said this was one of the hardest matches for me so far,but in the end I voted for Tyrannoclaw.He has a better sculpt all around.

Im sorry Heather. >-<

bleh, how did either of these figures make it to a second round?

on playability alone, i had to go with tyrannoclaw. remind me to never buy a gpk cheap toy.

While i usually do prefer a double helping of head in this case the dinosaur arm wins out. Beast Wars Megatron in humanoid form?

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 thought I would check out exactly how this happened, Double Heather eeked out a win over a Dino Fighter sculpt that looked ackward and Tyrannoclaw crushed a MegaMan figure, people love dino heads as arms apparently.

The bad news for me is the Mimp T-Rex vs. Bloodthirsty Bison SDBB is on deck.
