There was a 5th place tie so there is a re-vote for the winner.

This is our chance to get that ridiculous banana penis ninja thing erased from the set.



Obviously i am not telling you what to vote for yourself i just dislike the pun and the idea behind the banana figure.

And the punch guy is pretty cool.

Can they not both go in, and f*ck that awful Puggernaut off instead...

[PlasticSoul]

I don't like the pug either or how it got all those votes.

I wouldn't mind a barbarian and the mushroom guy and fruit punch if it wins.

Man, I'm with you 100%. There is NO WAY IN HELL that I will have some stupid dildo figure in MY collection.

I second that, that Puggernaut is just a pain in you-know-where.
I would be very disapointed if Bananja cannot go through this tie-break...

Weren't many of the Pug votes campaigned for??

[waaaaghlord]

Yeah, there's been some controversy over the pug being tooted on various facebook pages, a pug themed web comic and even a pug rescue charity site. It's not one I'd have voted for certainly, but depending on how the tie break goes I do like either two and a half or two and two halves (if that makes any sense) of the ones that made it, and two of the ones that got through I did vote for, so it's not going to be a terrible set as far as I'm concerned. I really wish Roadkill had made the cut though, a very different design that would have nicely complimented the OMFG vibe so far IMO.

[PlasticSoul]

Yeah it was promoted but to be fair lots of other designs were as well and the guy running OT said it was ok.

So even if the community there is against that kinda thing no one did anything technically wrong since there are no rules.

[waaaaghlord]

Not technically wrong certainly, but if it's votes from non toy collectors that won't be backing the kickstarter or buying the toys when the time comes I don't see how it helps the line move forward. Of course there's no way to really track whether newcomers do end up adding funding down the line, so it's an argument that ends up just going round in circles. The true test is if people vote with their wallets as I've got a feeling that existing supporters walking away would have more of an impact at this stage than a few newcomers that actually end up pledging as well as voting. It's probably a moot point there as well since the exclusive packages could always be put back in at the last minute to keep the thing afloat if the next kickstarter was in serious trouble.

[Chogokin Jawa]

I second that as well.
Frankly speaking, it was a 61-61 tie and now this is a "Fruit Punch" flood. Looks like heavy lobbying from people who just suscribe to just vote for their friend's figure. But in the end, once their friend's figure elected, will these "voters" buy the Series 3? I have some doubts.
I guess that this system worked fine for Series 2 but now the "word spred", it is kinda "rotten" by behaviours which are not in the spirit of the thing.
In the future I think that Georges should build kinda jury of a few people and decide with them which figures would be part of the series.

Just my 0.02 that are certainly subjective because only the Bananja figure would have made me buy the series 3.

Now let's have a look : Puggernaut and Barbarianaut. Two MOTU/MUSCLE like figures, no offense to their creators but they are kinda redundant in the same series. Fruit Punch/ a bottle of fruit juice with gloves. Stay tuned for Milk Punch in Series 4 and Coke Punch in Series 5 (OK FP is really good but I cannot say it because it will kick out my fave figure LOL).
As for the 2 remaining ones : the mushroom is really original and the thrash not so bad (though it has a déjà vu taste).

Anyway...life is life =)

I like Fruit Punch. He was actually one of my top 5.



http://www.littlerubberguys.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=125235&view=findpost&p=446327

Of the 5 that won, there was one from my top 5 (fruit punch), 2 from my top 10 (the mushroom guy). I like the Barbarianaut (he made it into my top 20) but the banana guy was much further down my list than even him.

Puggernaut? Meh.

The trashcan guy? Um, no.

So that just goes to show how different all our tastes are. If George were to let a small group of guys choose the figures, they may end up being ones most of us don't really care for.

[Rjdragon]

It is human nature people are not going to like everything out there especially with a toy line like this one I think people should be reminded it isn't a contest it is a toyline just because you submit an idea doesn't make it toy worthy... I love this toyline Series 1 will always be the one to beat, series 2 has some great figures in it as does series 3 but will they all be perfect no I think we need to stop comparing them to its predcessors and really accept them for what they are look at the Muscle line 236 sculpts and I only have about 20-30 that I like so I mean no toyline is perfect.... the voting does need to be addressed however for 4 like donate $1 for the kickstarter idk something like that

[iwao]

Not a fan of Fruit Punch or Bananja, but I voted for Bananja and Bull's Eye in the end because I like both more than Fruit Punch and Snake Girl.

Maybe George's sculpt will make me like Fruit Punch more, but it's more likely that I'll be offering up my Fruit Punch figures to trade for the Puggernaut that so many people hate.

[jkaris]

I split the junk out into its own thread in the junk yard. You guys can continue the bee-eye-itchfest there.

[FaustX]

Voted Fruit Punch here.

[Soupie]

I haven't been to the OT forums in months. Can someone post pics of the winning sculpts here please?

Also, could some post links to whereth we may purchase some of the figs like deadbeat and cobra girl that are being produced separately? It would be doubleplusgood if so! Thanks!

Plum is sold out for the moment and I heard rumor or a purple coming out.

Cobragirl isn't available yet that I know of.

Purple and metallic purple are both hitting the OT store this Friday to tie in with the 'Day With Toy Break' all dayer, along with a clear purple version of the larger vinyl Deadbeet. I wouldn't be surprised if we see the series 2 figures released in purple this weekend as well.

Yep


I think the Metallic Purple is a popular color. These should go quick like the plum.


I also like the Walking Dead Michonne Set. I wish it was the color of the pale blue Z.O.M.B.I.E. set, but it doesn't look like it in the pic.

[waaaaghlord]

Hey, I called it!

[PlasticSoul]

I like the mushroom guy and i really want to see how fruit punch turns out. I think they said it will be a juice box instead of a carton which sounds even cooler.

The mushroom guy (Dr. Decay) was a good example of a design I didn't really notice, even though it was really good, that stood out in the voting because of a great sculpt. The pug is the only one I voted for that made it, but Dr. Decay is my 2nd favorite in S3.

I want to see the Fruit Punch sculpt too. I remember when he posted the milk carton character for S2 and people said it was too similar to an existing design outside of OMFG. It took him like 5 minutes to repost the design with boxing gloves and changed "Missing" to "Fruit Punch" on the carton. I thought it was funny how quick he turned it around, but it didn't make sense to keep the milk carton shape. My youngest has some of those Annoying Orange mini-figures. Fruit Punch will fit in with them.

Just a quick note, it is the same blue as the Z.O.M.B.I.E. sets! Just a bad photo.

Awesome. I thought it might be when I saw this pic last night, but wasn't sure if it was just the flash:


I did finally track down a pale blue Z.O.M.B.I.E. set about a month ago.
