Favourite 3rd Party Figure of 2013

[Gasaraki]

Thought I'd put this poll up given the action with the OTCA awards going on.

It's messy, and I've necessarily had to leave out some figures I thought would be lower likelihood to be favourites... but there's the option to specify 'other'.

Personally I think it's been a rather exciting year in the 3rd party arena - I haven't got many of the figures listed here but am keen to hear of other's experiences. And for the heck of it, given that there's been much goodness, it's gonna be vote for as many as you want!

I voted Quackwave. But Planet X Genesis would be a close second.

I voted Quakewave. That thing is a Masterpiece. The FP not Stunticons comes close second and Demolition Crue third for me. Though if Maketoys Giant came out on 2013 instead of the previouis, previous year - that would take top billing for me hehehe.

[Megatron]

Yep, Quake Wave.

I voted Code. Love the headmasters & the transformation for Code.

Coming second got to be Hexatron...

2013 was a great year for 3rd party figures. Several worthy contenders for the top gong. Planet X Genesis was my preference .... something to do with my affinity for Omega Supreme as a kid.

It's a shame I don't have a bottomless pit of cash reserves to acquire all the ones I want.

I look at the pics but don't a buying interest so pay little attention. This would have been in the awards, but I don't know what's come out this year hence the open text fields. (Some people answered those questions, this will probably get more responses).

Hexatron is WAY up in my top Bots for the year. Really he gets my number two spot. Planet X Genesis can have number 3

Yeah, I had a strong feeling Quake Wave would come out on top... the only other figure who seems to have a chance to topple him being Hexatron. Genesis does seem to be quite an achievement for a first offer from Planet-X, but I suspect only a minority of collectors forked out for the behemoth. Is it a size thing then?? Smaller bots (e.g. the not-Stunticons) just don't stand a chance? Perhaps part of it is that larger figures do have more chance to fit in impressive engineering and wow-factor...

Personally, I didn't get any of these larger figures, although am being swayed to consider Quake Wave. My own favourites:
1. FP Last Chance - just a near perfect transforming toy
2. Mech Ideas Demolition Crue - still one of the best value 3rd party products out there, and excellent figures to boot
3. Planet X Caelus - took a punt not knowing what to expect, and got a very nice surprise!

Quakewave was the winner for me, just a great MP 3rd party bot !!!!

The Fansproject not Headmasters and not Stunticons were fantastic as was the Mech Ideas not Jumpstarters

Was a great year for 3P though just wish i had deeper pockets
