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.

These are both pretty neat. I think Vader's head is a bit too small and Hammerhead's a bit too big. In the end I went with HH. He's nice and alien looking and I really dig the sculpting of his hands.

Hammerhead, easy. He's ace.

Vader is suffering from an advanced stage of the Squashed Head Syndrome that afflicted the Stormtrooper. Seriously, how can anyone vote for that? He looks more like an insect than one of the greatest screen villains of all-time.

I really like both of these figures. Just something cool about both. I've always been a vader fan, and also always like the Ithorian race of aliens. <_<

Was HammerHead this figures packaged name?

I have to go with Hammer, cause his huge head and big feet just look fun. I do really like Vader's vicious pointing finger thingy he's got going on though. In fact if you put the Evil Monkey from Family Guy in a Darth Vader outfit he would probably look like this. ;)

I'm almost ashamed to say that when i saw this matchup i was like "Why is he not listed as Momaw Nadon?" Then i went and shut my hand in a car door to teach myself a lesson. <_<

Anyway, i voted for Hammerhead! He's by far the superior figure in this matchup, and is probably in my top five in the contest thus far.

I also have to agree, definitely top 5 for me thus far as well.

This was a hard one. I like both for different reasons, but I ended up going with HH. Mainly because I like him better as a character-and because Darth has a teeny head.

It seems like Hammerhead should be the easy choice. It isn't for me. There are two things that detract from this figure: (1) his white scarf; and (2) his staff of Ra. Sure his shirt ties in the front, but the ascot makes him look more like Fred from Scooby-Doo. And where does the staff come from? What playability does he have with that dumb staff? Was this the one figure where they decided guns might encourage violence? That couldn't have happened with an Imperial Officer?!

Vader's only short-coming is that he's Vader. I think the prequels stripped all of Vader's coolness away. Someone who was once considered one of the best movie villains was reduced to joke status.

My vote is Vader. Lil' Veers only knows him as that ass-kicking Star Wars villain and would be appalled if I didn't vote for him. Any figure that evokes tears because he can't go in the tub is clearly a figure with playability (the cape takes too long to dry, and he's upset when it's wet the next day).

e.t. phone home...

hammer head wins. the stewie griffin head on a "normal" sized body doesn't work. if it were the actual stewie vader, it'd totally get all kinds of votes. but as it is not stewie, it just blows.

hammerhead get's the votes, gets the ladies and gets the money. he's a totally boss looking figure and despite having the cub scout neckerchief and the old man walking staff he looks like he'd be fun to play with.

I voted Vader, I really like this figure, and what is unique about him is he is somewhat larger than most of the GH figures which I think is cool and ads to the "most famous villian" persona. Cool saber, cloth accessory cape, articulation (which Hammerhead has none), and contrary to many comments I read here, I think his helmet looks cool.

Hammerhead isnt a bad figure though by any means, I will not be sad to see him advance in this tourney. I agree wtih Ghost Lion, I really like the detail of his hands, that is probably my favorite part of that figure. plus he's got pretty blue eyes, just like Marty's sister.

Darth looks like he's pointing to the guy that turned him into a blowfly then squashed his head,
on the other hand i just couldn't vote for Hammerhead , at first glance i thought is was E.T. on one of his spiritual journeys to a Tibetan Monasteries :lol:
