Although i like the symbolic nature of the GPK and as always there is a warped sense of humour captured within the toy, i cannot in good conscience vote for theis figure and especially not against 'Dialbolic'.

There is so much i like about this figure. He is weird looking, mean looking, tough looking (his arms and legs are really solid and sturdy) and that huge hand on the end of the whip... that looks like it could happy slap you and your whole family. And record it as a phone video..... and then post it on Youtube.

Dial Bolic will Dial up V for Victory!

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.

I like the originality of a walking fighting cell phone, but the Alice Island is pretty cool. I'll vote for the GPK.

It turns out that I hate UM. It took this tournament to convince me. At first I just thought I was loyal to the MUSCLE figures and couldn't get past my nostalgic attachment. Nope, I just dislike the figures.

The figure is an interesting idea – a fighting cellphone. But that's where the good ideas end. I dislike the coloring of the arms and legs. Seeing the arms and legs makes it look more like a costume than a living/fighting cellphone. The coloring is also uninspired. It's a radical concept with a very safe red and black coloring. And finally, the hand on the end of the antenna. Why? And why is it red? Is the antenna hand wearing a glove?

The GPK is ok, but it simply wins by default for me. Dialbolic is just stupid.

I've never seen this Dialbolic UM figure before, and I must say, I like what I'm seeing now.

I won't hold it against Dialbolic that his dub voice was grating and terribly annoying (like almost all of the dub voices in Nisei).

GPK looks somewhat interesting, but I'd rather own Dialbolic. So he gets my vote!

aside from the guy made out of street signs (wtf?), this is my next to least favorite ultimate muscle figure. i just think it's plain dumb. there's always stinkers in every line, well almost always, and this one is definitely a stinker.

if i encounter the demons in hell, i will kill them all..

you know, this one's really rough. Both are creative, neither is well-made.

Dialbolic hits close to home (although my cell phone is about to fall apart)

Alice Island is both hilariously patriotic and a slam.

Dialbolic has poor arms and legs

Alice Island looks too much like a cabbage patch kid in cosplay.

In the end, I voted for Dialbolic, but only just.

Both are creative, neither is well-made.
Everyone and their mom has a cell phone so the UM figure seems like it would appeal to many. A cell phone with an attitude .. universal appeal.

Alice Island is both hilariously patriotic and a slam. The sculpt wasnt extremely impressive in my opinion to begin with but the "slam" in this social climate doesnt go over well with me at the moment. Im sure im just reading to much into the Statue holding a bag of what ill assume is garbage.

I voted for Dialbolic.

Divide & conquer works because of attachments people make to push-button issues, individual "leaders," parties, clans, tribes, policies, or agendas, leaving them open to manipulation.
