Each morning I'll try and list a new game. The board will be given ~24 hours to vote for the winner.

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.

I can't believe it...i collect Starscream figures specifically, he's tied for my favorite Transformer of all time (along with Grimlock). But man, when i scrolled down and saw that bounty hunter Leia figure, i was just instantly won over. Can't stop smiling at it, wanna own this figure. :)

Also much like that awful awful Spider-Man figure that you savages voted into the second round, this Starscream figure has an unfortunate lumpy base that i feel really detracts from the overall look of the figure itself.

While I normally detest very specific poses, I think it works pretty well for Starscream. I'm not sure if the little thing under his foot is supposed to be blast exhaust from his foot or clouds, but either way I like it. I prefer to think it is clouds – like he's popping up above the clouds. However, this figure is really geared towards the collector. I don't think a kid would dislike it, but there's an obvious bias.

As for Boussh, damn if she's not cool. I think that the helmet actually comes off this figure, which is why the head looks extra big. But I think this figure works as both a plaything and collector's item, which is why Boussh is going to get my vote.

With a different first-round draw, I could actually see Starscream going pretty far – just not today.

The helmet comes OFF? That's pretty rad. Now i wish i could vote for it twice. :)

I wonder how have i never seen this figure at retail before?

I really have a hard time deciding. I LOVE starscream, he is my absolute favorite decepticon character. :) And the figure and pose does him justice.

But look at that Leia! Great looking figure! Pretty much the same pose as the Bespin Leia too. Ack this is hard! I likes em both!

I think I would have played with the leia figure more if I were a kid, busy removing the helmet and trying to jam it onto other figures heads. Heck I can even see this helmet being Custom fodder, it looks big enough for you to tool it for a larger figure.

I am a bit bothered by the Robot Heros face sculpts. So far it hasn't mattered because I liked the Leia figure quite a bit but I think in the later rounds its gonna bite them in the bootie.

One mans shizznit eatin' grin is another mans mildly handicapped.

starscream, what did they do to you? he's my number 2 behind soundwave. i love him. when he kicks megatron in the movie after megs is beat down from his battle with optimus i swear an angel gets its wings. but this rendition of starscream does not do him justice. that chewed up bubble gum (cloud?) he's "standing" on looks horrible. the pose isn't too bad, but like some of my brothers have stated, that face is ass.

the leia figure on the otherhand is top notch. i can't believe i voted for a girl. :D
