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.

Both of these figures have very specific poses. While Spider-Man is collectible cool, Firefly is both a toy and collectible. This makes it an easy vote for me - Firefly.

On a side note, Lil' Veers got the Dagobah X-Wing because he wanted a Luke with a helmet that came off (which he loves!). Anyways, the set comes with a Dragonsnake (not my picture). He hasn't seen ESB yet, so he doesn't know what the figure is supposed to be. When we opened the set, it was the second thing he wanted to play with - even more than the ship. For me it was such a clear example of when a little kid just likes a sculpt. The character doesn't matter, the backstory doesn't matter - that thing just needs to be cool. And what's cooler to a 2-year-old than a Dragonsnake?

This one was hard simply because I actually like both. I think G. Veers said it best-'Spiderman is collectible cool, (whereas) Firefly is both a toy and collectible'. I think the only thing is that Spidey is...maybe too posed. Whatever, Firefly is the shizzlebizzle and gets my vote
