As much as I like Satan Cross, I actually voted for 212. It's a great sculpt and a cool concept. I'm also a big dork for ancient Roman/Greek stuff, so it's a lock for me to vote for 212.

I have nothing bad to say about Satan Cross, though. It has another great sculpt and with its weapons, it's a cool take on the multi-armed guys. Also, being the only confirmed non-poster MUSCLE gives him prestige. But despite that, he's just not as awesome as 212.

This one actually had me considering my choice. I ended up going with SC, just because his pose is better. Parthenon's drawback is that his arms are to the side. Can't win a fight with your arms down, so there goes a large chunk of playability.
Now if it was THIS Parthenon:

then it would have been NO CONTEST!

I really can't see SC making it past round 2 though.

Wow I'm surprised at Parthenon's percentage! I've never been a huge fan of SC anyways

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

I went with Senior Cabbage! Why? Cause he is just cool! Na, I actually don't like Parthenon as much cause I always have extras of him. I'm tired of always getting Salmon and Red Parthenons in my muscle lots. So it's SC all the way!

212 for me. I really like both. I agree with the arms down thing but we can still win a fight by just charging into them, knkcoing them down, and smashing them. Satan Cross is one of my favorites but somethin' about 212

I dunno.

Cool a close one. I went with SC, I am basing all my votes strictly on figure favorites and nothing to do with the manga. I agree with Johnny that Parth pose sucks and he cant do anything except fall down. SC can slice and dice, then shield bash them for good measure.

Slice and dice and shield bash? Been playing some WoW lately? =P

I'm also basing my votes on the figures. Especially since I don't read the manga =P

I picked Satan Cross. This guy reminds me of Goro from Mortal Kombat. How kewl is that! Plus he has a shield and sword. The other one just dosn't come close.

Now I am off to make a 4 armed BB!

I went with Satan Cross, because I like figures with faces in their stomachs. I don't expect SC to last to late into the tournament.
To run with the NCAA analogy he seems like Duke always ranked at least one or two spots were they should be.

The Parthenon... i didnt know that was #212's name but that just increased his coolness factor in my opinion.

Judging solely upon their sculpts my eyes tended to gravitate to #212 more often than not. The sculpt exudes POWER and stability ( as pillars should i suppose) where as SC fell short in that area. In fact looking at both sculpts side by side..it makes me wonder if SC is popular solely because he is (was) rare?

I can see Parthenon laying a tremendously one sided smack down on SC as well.

Love both these sculpts,#212 reminds me of something that would come out of Greek Mythology and that I really like.
But I voted for SC love his helmet and the whole Gladiator thing..
Now if #212 was done with some crumbling and cracks to show some age it would be a different story.

I saw this new contest earlier when I posted the Star Wars keshi auction... I'm glad I thought it over before voting.

#212 is definitely a cool figure. Very "meaty" and solid. They didn't skimp on the plastic. It is also a very cool concept and well executed. However, in the end, it's a forgettable sculpt.

Satan Cross, #236, on the other hand, is actually very unique. He's not just your run of the mill multi-armed sculpt. If you study the sculpt -- even without reading the manga -- you can see that the lower set of arms actually belong to the head peaking out of Satan Cross' chest! That is freaking cool! Also, I've always thought the swirls on his chest plate were cool looking, as well as the design on his shield. And the "demon" wings on his back have always been a mysterious, cool touch. Can he use them to fly? Are they some type of blade? Are they part of his costume or part of his body?

Finally, don't forget that the SC sculpt also has a hole in his back! It doesn't really add to the look of the sculpt, but it is just one other detail that makes it a memorable sculpt.

I voted for Satan Cross!

[Scumdogg]

This was actually really tough for me. In the end though, i'm pretty much a sucker for anything with more than the usual count of arms. So Satan Cross it is!

[Donkeykid77]

I voted 212, because he has this mystical ancient stone power about him.
While his adversary just seems like an evil wannabe superpower of which there are 13 in a dozen...

Go 212!

DK.

I tested them out in the Hard knockin' rockin ring, and Parthenon ko'd SC every time. Suckit, Susancross

HAHAHA!!! Next you ought to try the Microwave test! Put them both in the microwave at the same time and the first one to melt loses!

[TheOrgg]

Cross, hands down. I'm supprised there's even this much argument!

I mean, IT'S THE TOPPER of a person's COLLECTION. If you've got the whole set, this is the guy you've got to get.


Granted, in the anime, he's not too spectacular, but as a MUSCLE... well, he dominates.

I'd be supprised if he doesn't actually WIN!
