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 went with Indy here , he looks like the better toy for me , looking at Fisto , he seems all squashed up , hard to tell what it actually is.

There is a very fine line between
"Hobby" & "Mental illness"

I think Indy is a dandy figure but I'm mostly voting against Fisto this round, sorry kit fans.

Indy is clearly the superior character here, but it seems pretty hard to make good toys based on him. Most of these Adventure Heroes figures (Grail Knight excluded), are ridiculously bland.

I voted for Kit Fisto, i think he's by far the more interesting toy.

I think both of these figures fail as collectibles for adults.

As toys, I think they are two of the best figures – but for vastly different reasons. I think if you set both of these figures down for a little kid he would likely pick up Kit Fisto. He's an interesting looking green alien with a bright green lightsaber. The kid doesn't need to know SW to be interested.

That's not to say Indy isn't interesting. I just think its playability is infinitely increased by being familiar with the character. Of course if a little kid knows Indy, then this is a great figure. It has the gun, the whip, and the hat – what more does a little kid need from an Indy figure?

In the end, my vote goes to Indy. If Lil' Veers was interested in Indy, then he might never put this figure down. But even without seeing the movie, I think Lil' Veers would like Indy's "blaster."

I like Jones. I think the Kit figure is a poor representation of him.

out of the two stinkers i voted for indy. both of these average figures will be gone in the next round, no matter who they're up against.

indy's arsenal doesn't look like a popsicle. kit's does. and why do i get the feeling kit's just finished a lame magic trick and is waiting for me to applaud? "there, i've now filled this glass with water. now turn around....now turn around.."

if i encounter the demons in hell, i will kill them all..
