I’m sure #3 is going to win in a blowout, but I feel this should be closer.
I think these are both great figures and both great concept figures. One is a walking, talking brick wall and the other is a walking, talking rock. I also think the quality of both sculpts is top notch.
For this match-up it comes down to the pose. #3’s pose always struck me as weak. He’s smiling and waving - not the look you want from an action figure. And I always thought it looked like #3 had a weird wang-tangle-thing happening.
#23 looks like a tough guy. He’s got his fists ready and a grimace on his face. Unfortunately he’s pretty small compared to other figures. In the world of action figures, smaller equals weaker.
So who wins? I have to go with #23. I know I’ll be in the minority, but I can’t get past the smile and wave from #3. He’d be perfect is you needed a greeter or concierge action figure.

This one was actually kind of tough for me. I love #3 and most of the sunshine sculpts. But I agree with Veers as far as playability and toughness goes, I got to go with #23. When I was young and having championship matches, number 23 was always in the running, although rarely taking the title, he put up a great fight. Its just a better pose. Sorry Sunshine, you know I love you.

I went with #23 too. I really dig his rocky sculpt and he has a cool facial expression. I agree that 23's pose is more action oriented.
#3 is pretty awesome too, but he's just one of many Sunshine sculpts so he doesn't seem quite as interesting or unique.

I have to agree. I always imagined this figure and the other "rock" dude to be indestructible -- and #23's fist was perfect for smashing the other figures directly in the face!23 rocks. Pun intended.
The Sunshine sculpt is okay, however, I can't get the image of it riding around in a miniature Pope-mobile, blessing all the faithful, out of my head. (Go in peace.)

Gotta go with #23. Even though i love this "How's it goin'?!?" sculpt of Sunshine, 23's just all around awesome. Great face, interesting texture, and if he wasn't pink he'd actually look like he was made of rock.

I went with Sunshine. On a scale of 1-10 though he is only half a point above Iwao (#23)
However, looking at the voting, Sunshine is sinking like a brick!

Most of the sunshine sculpts have him smiling,so I don't know why so many people are dissing this sculpt. Plus this is the only one that show his rollers in his chest!

Sunshine looks like he's out on the campaign trail and about to get his tail kicked by iwao (who isn't too much smaller in this scale).

No to the little people!!! 
(No pun intended)
Sorry but I went with numba 3.
Because he is a cool stone giant,
and though he's a friendly fellow,
he could crush 23 with just one hand!
Mwoohahaha
No, seriously, this for me was the most difficult choice I had
to make so far in this tournament, because 23 DOES look
great, fiesty, with lots of character and a cool alround sculpt,
but what can beat a giant?

I can’t believe #23 is winning 10 to 5 right now! I thought #3 was going to (undeservingly) walk away with the win. It looks like #23 has a chance.

I think it's the combination of Smile plus Parade Wave.
Also i might be in the minority here, but i'm not won over by the rollers. Isn't there another guy with bigger and better rollers?

I of course went with #3. I know it sounds funny, but I've always like the smiling and waving. 
He was also one of the last few sculpts I needed to complete my first Flesh set back when I first started collecting.

I went with Rocky Slab partly because I'm doing his voice for the fandub, and partly because it's Iwao's only figure-- and Skullduggery and Slab are an awesome pair. Rocky Slab is the 
of Gen 1.
And honestly, I was QUITE supprised when I voted and saw that Slab was BEATING Sunshine-- and my third favorite Sunshine sculpt to boot!

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.

Maybe the tournament is fixed...
Since a lot of votes are unexplained...
Maybe someone is just using fake registrations to vote their favorite to the win...

I resent the scurrilous accusation that ninjas are hacking the vote.
I see no ninjas. Seriously though, Iwao rocks (
) and justice is finally being served to the overrated Sunshine. I like the character and the pyramid, top and arch are cool, but I think they screwed up with the humanoid shapes. I don't think any of them look right, except maybe BHS.
