I don’t know what everyone else thought, but four games seemed like too many. I think two games is a nicer balance. Maybe I’ll post four games as we head into the weekend.

Ooooo.... A good bout! I really enjoy both of these sculpts. I think Pinchiman is a fun sculpt, but you can't do much with it. I like the other Kinkeshi sculpts of Pinchi better.

King of 100ton is just a really well balanced sculpt! Nothing over the top, but enough originality and character to be really fun to play with! I always liked his smug "your a wimp prepare to die" look on his face.

I really like Pinchiman, but 100ton takes this one for me. :banana:

I'm going to go with John '100 Ton' King.

Pinchman didn't seem like he had very much advantage when I was a kid-- his hands are not actually connected, and thus don't grab very well. His hands looked broken to me.

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.

This one is an easy choice for me, #183.

#185 always seemed too jovial, even when he was poking someone in the eye with his finger (a move this figure demanded). I think it’s an interesting figure, but I was never really sure what he was supposed to be. It has a nice sculpt and a good pose, but it’s ultimately forgettable. This is the kind of figure that begs to be shot at and blown up.

Granted, #183 doesn’t have a very playable pose. His arms are straight down at his sides. But who cares? This figure’s uniqueness is undeniable. I think this is a good example between ambiguous and confusing. #185 is sort of confusing, you can’t quite figure out what he is so it’s frustrating and not very fun. #183 is more ambiguous, you have an idea but it’s debatable. He could be scissors-man, knife-man, a robot, etc.

While I don’t think #183 will be able to go too much further in the tournament, he’s definitely a good figure and better than #183. If his arms were more outstretched, even one of them, I think he could win the tournament.

#185 100Ton,Gets my vote for a real simple reason ,I love the way he has his head tilted to the side.
Never really cared to much for Pinchman so this was kind of easy for me.

I also think having 4 tournaments at once was crazy. ^_^
My brain was starting to hurt. ;)

I'm kind of indifferent about this match. Neither really epitomizes MUSCLE awesomeness to me.

185 is cool in that he has a bad attitude and a massive physique. He's also one of the few MUSCLEs who are pointing, so he can taunt his next victim. But he's also kind of bland, with little sculpting details and texture. As a kid, I thought that "T" stood for "tack". He kind of looks like a tack, too.

183 is a nifty anthropomorphized every-day object. But he's a smidge goofy, and the pose of his arms limits playability.

I went with 185. But whoever wins will likely be destroyed in the next round.

^_^ This is the first poll that i literally have not been able to decide on a vote. I had to flip a coin in the end, i just love both of these sculpts so much. #183 by coin toss. My purple version of him i think is one of the coolest looking figures in my collection.

100 ton is suppose to be one of those weights I believe. You remember the Gram and ounce weights we used to use in science class that were made of like Copper or brass...can't remember. ^_^ With the big bottom and the small nob on top so you can pick them up.

My thoughts as well.

That sculpts facial expression conveys a self assured, cocky confidence that looks right on him. It doesnt hurt that the shape of his head reminds me of an old school pimp hat from the 70's AND his overall design is reminiscent of more modern urban art ("tagger art" or anthropomorphic spray cans). All he needs is ring music....

I went with King 100 Ton. the pose was more playable, and he just seemed undestructible!

I really dig Pinchman, he's a unique character, and as a kid, I had him teamed up with Screw Kid as Tool Time! Their double headbutt left the competition with a serious headache!! ^_^

183 without a doubt, my second favorite sculpt overall. The dude can snap you in half with his face.... WITH HIS FACE! Seriously, how do you mess with that?!?!? Not to mention a headbutt off the top rope and you're screwed, and don't even get me started on what he can do to your nipples!

I really like pinchmans beard and he has a cool nose, i dont think there is another figure i can think of with such a smart looking nose... however i voted for king100 ton because of his hands and his demonic smile. I love the way you can bee-eye-itch slap someone with the one hand and then poke them in the eye with the other
