I love both figures but Mr. Tea is unique and awesome. He can pour boiling hot tea on people and with his pose he can put other figures in a headlock. I like this Warsman figure because he's not in his underwear lokking all wimpy.

I'll be honest, I dont like either of these figures much. I chose 231 cause if I were fighting my mucles he would have a better chance of survival. I'm guessing Mr. Tea would have his head ripped off and drank for some reason. I dont see either of these figures making it past the next round and I dont care who wins this one.

This one's easy! I'm not ashamed to admit that Mr. Tea is one of my all-time favorites. Partially because i really like the M.U.S.C.E. figures that are constructed out of other objects, but mostly because he's so clearly labeled. :yes:

I went with Mr. Tea. As a kid, I despised this figure because of his wimpy look and I don't particularly care for tea. However, looking at these two sculpts today, Mr. Tea is clearly the more interesting and unique of the two. Thus Mr. Tea by default.

For some reason, the tatter effect on 231 doesn't sit well with me when I'm handling him. I will soon own a 48, but I've never experienced it in person. I choose 48 because of the cool MUSCLE UK paintjob it received, as well as its overall unique-ness.

This is the first game that I'm pretty apathetic about the figures. Warsman is cool in that he has the bladed hand and ripped clothes. But, I've never been a big Warsman fan, and usually find his figures to be rather dull.

Teaman is cool in that he's an anthropomorphic every-day object. But he's very weak-looking and kind of reminds me of the singing tea sets from Beauty and the Beast.

I ended up going for Warsman.

I agree completely with doc's post, nothing need be added.

Isn't that because that's exactly what happened to him in the manga? :yes:

I couldn't help but vote for #48! He's ridiculous but oh so unique and thus has many creative possibilities for play. And he's the only MUSCLE that can get away with teabagging another wrestler in a PG setting. ;)

Yes, I was being sarcastic, funny that Warsman is the one who did it even. Irony at its best.

I went with Warsman. I like the spikes on his hand and he had a devastating clothesline when I was kid!

I never cared for Mr. Tea as he does look wimpy and was always a jobber. I did do a parody using "Mr. T., I Pity The Fool!" theme for him back in the day heehee.

good times. Warsmans kicks Mr. Tea's butt, hands (or spikes) down! :yes:

Mr Tea!

Both sculpts are lamers in my opinion, so just as I did in the last Presidential election, I went with the lesser of two evils. <_<

I went with 48. I really like Warsman, but there are only a few sculpts that are good, and this isn't one of them. I like colored Teapac figures though, and since his sculpt is so on par with the original design, I'll go with him. B)

I can’t really get too excited about either of these figures.

#231 literally looks like a deliberate attempt to create a generic action figure. Torn clothes – check. Weapon – check. Boring – check. There isn’t a lot too praise and there isn’t a lot too knock. It’s just plain.

#48 really shares many of #231’s characteristics – bland, uninteresting. The one thing that makes it different is a tea cup for a head. Is it genius or fatigue that created this figure? My guess would be fatigue.

#48 is the winner in a XFL type of game.

Cool idea or not, General V.?

With the recent Giants Superbowl upset win fresh in mind, I'm going with 43 becuase he is the underdog. Nothing more and nothing less influenced voting in this round.

I went with #231. Only because he looks like a beefed up Joker! B) The tea cup guy looks to much like something out of Disney! Hahaha

Tea Pac, Beyitches! He' gonna scal' you wit' some tea, or he gonna smack you 'round wit' 'is rock hard, watah logged bag a' tea. Yeah, Boyeeh!

I'm going for the Gangsta Rappin' Tea Pac.


(and the figure was always one of my favorites as a child, though I called him Mister Tea. My original copy has since then dissappeared, but I'm trying to get 'em in every color.)

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.
