It was the announcer for me. I'm a sucker for the "baby" figures. There are only a few MUSCLEs with that body shape, so each baby seems unique and interesting. Also, for kids he plays a unique supporting role to MUSCLE wrestling matches.

I've never been a big fan of 180. I've always thought that he was just another generic knight figure, with little to distinguish him from all of the Robin Masks.

The Annoucer was a staple when I was a kid. He was at every match, and got beaten up by the loser of the match every time.

I think I secretly hated Mean Gene Okerlund.

I voted 180, because at least he has muscles!

I must admit the little announcer is kinda funny,
but I think his head is just a little too bulby to appeal,
so I went with the masked minion instead.

I went with 162 on this one. Yes the other one has greater playability, but I agree with what Nate says and Marty's mom is a good lay. Also that 180 just seems to be thrown together to make another figure. Nothins particularly special about him. I dont remember him as a kid, I might not of had him, and if I did he never did anything of significance for me or the tournaments. The announcer and other little guys like meat, were unique, puyo puyo is still on of my favorites. So I had to go with 162 on this one.

Doc Nakano all the way ! Hair piece and all this figure is great. It does'nt hurt that he's hilarious in the kinnikuman cartoons.

I went with 180. I was never too fond of 162. I was always a sucker for knights, and well honestly, if you were choosing teammates for Dodgeball who would you choose? The Knight with a good strong throwing arm? Or the guy who could be the dodgeball?

I'll admit though, Nakano is probably one of the most detailed figures of the line, they even went as far as sticking the sunspots on his forehead. Very well done sculpt, but It's the knight for me.

Mean Gene (Nakano) gets my vote. 180 always reminded me of the bad guy from the Beastmaster movie.

[Scumdogg]

Even though i've sadly never owned an Announcer figure, 162 gets my vote. One day, li'l buddy! One day!

How on Earth did #180 get the #2 seed in this region?!?! Since there's only 4 regions, that's saying he was assumed to be between the 5th and 8th best or most popular overall sculpts out of the entire set? Me thinks that somebody needs to be laying off the pipe.

I would have understood if it was a Robin Mask figure seeded for this one, but not Mostly Generic Knight Guy. I do like the helmet design too, but I don't find him to be all that noticeably unique or anything.

The Announcer, good old little Doc, is one of the most memorable guys in the whole line, clearly a nerd lost in the world of muscle-bound freaks and probably always two steps away from a beating. Just because.

162 is going to win this one, easy.

[SpectreSuperSix5]

Although he won't make it far, #162 is going to take this match.

[Nachoz God of Metal]

The announcer. Very important in the world of

[Soupie]

Going with Doc. Very nice, unique, memorable sculpt. However, I always loved #180 'cause he reminded me of this AD&D figure I was never allowed to have 'cause he was the devil.

I went with #180. He reminds me some of the Knight Characters in Forgotten Realms. Very Kewl. The little announcer dude just dosn't do anything for me.

I went with #180.

[rock-n-wrestling]

I went with 162, Doc Nakano (or Mr. Peabody as I named him back in the day). He was always crucial in my matches for interviews and commentary!

for some reason, the Black KNight (180) was just there and didn't really stand out like some did. I do agree with GV, that his pose is very playable and his helmet is cool.

Here's to another upset in the games!!!!
