I hate most of these Star Wars figures because of the horrible duck stance their feet are in.
I voted for the guy eating the green popsicle.

Even though Greivous is the better figure, they could have done so much better with him. Don't get me wrong, a blaster and a saber is pretty tough, but I would much have rather seen him holding 4 sabers. I have seen customs of this figure with 4 sabers and it trumped this one big time. Clone trooper is cool too, but not as cool as a Storm trooper so there was no contest for me on this one.

the shoes win it for me, look like some gene simmons leftovers from the 80's

I agree with doc , they both could have been better , and Greivous could have been so much better with the possibilities of 4 arms holding light sabers or weapons , but he still get's the nod over the clone.

I went with Grievous. I like his sculpt pretty well, and I actually really like the look of the blaster he's holding. Plenty of nice clean looking paint apps as well on this fig. I own a few of the clone figs, and I'm really not too impressed with them. I like them much more than the hideous looking Stormtrooper from last round though. I didn't even bother voting on that set.

Amen to that.

Shame that the clone trooper is going home this round because it's not suffering from the same "helmet looks like it's been sat on" issue as the stormtrooper was. But that Grievous figure is well cool, especially the feet.

Yeah, I found the love for the Stormtrooper last round a tad misplaced, and I definitely like the Clone Trooper more. Unfortunately for him, Grievous is just cooler, even if not at maximum coolness levels.

The general has my vote.

The Ep. II Clone Trooper design is by far my least favorite of the Stormtrooper incarnations. If this figure was up against a truly lame figure (like Dr. Strange) I would vote for the Trooper. But General Grievous is actually a pretty cool figure. He's more expressive, has more interesting paint details, and far cooler weapons. I go with Grievous.

[Scumdogg]

I voted for General Grievous, just because he's slightly the more interesting figure.

But man, these two guys really showcase how much i hate 95% of the prequel character design. Even the clone troopers, one of the only additions that still look "Star Warsy", are a substantial downgrade from the original Stormtrooper armor.

And hey then you've got Grievous, an asthmatic robot built around some human bits. Sound familiar? Everything in 1-3 is just a worse version of everything in 4-6, and the toys really reflect that.
