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.

There was almost no explanation for Ghost Rider's wins in the first three rounds. He beat figures that were considerably better than him in every respect. I can only assume people have been voting for him because they like the character, because this figure sucks.

All of the figures he beat (Iron Spider-Man, Boussh, Indy) would have stood a better chance against Storm Shadow - or at least caused an actual debate.

My vote is for Storm Shadow. At this point in the tournament, it's too bad that it was such an easy choice.

I agree that Boushh was a better figure, but I voted for Ghost Rider in all his other matches. He's not a great figure and I'm not a fan of the character, but he's still a burning skull which is way cooler than his other opponents.

That said, I'm voting Storm Shadow for this one. Stormy has a better sculpt, with a more interesting costume, in a cooler pose. But he had a rough time with some of his previous opponents (which I thought were horrible figures), so I suspect this isn't going to be an easy win.

I voted for Ghost Rider because he's wearing MEN's boots whereas lame shadow's wearing WOMEN's sandals

Finally voted against Ghost Rider. Storm Shadow is hands-down in my top three favorite figures in this contest. It's gonna take something pretty awesome to beat him.

storm shadow. i'm still hoping for a snake eyes storm shadow showdown. one of my favorite joe episodes was when storm shadow had excalibur and he and snake eyes were battling it out in an underground cavern with giant columns of stone bricks. i'd prolly hate it today if i watched it, but my diseased memory tells me it was gang busters back in the day.

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

I voted against Ghost Rider a couple of times, but I actually picked up the Ghost Rider/ Punisher two pack for $3 during my short sabbattical. I was actually quite a bit more impressed with Ghost Rider than I expected to be, and liked him only slightly less than The Punisher (with Bazooka).

Our glorious Milky Way is a tiny, infinitesimal speck of sand in this vast, incomprehensible universe. And somewhere in that Milky Way is our own solar system, less than one billionth of that speck of sand that is the Milky Way. And then there is our planet Earth, one hundred trillionth of that one billionth of that one speck of sand. And on this planet Earth there is DEV-0, an insignificant blemish with a lifespan too short to measure when placed in infinite time.

And you are here, with them, as so many specks of sand.
