Thank you all for the support, votes, and encouragement. I've been sitting here for a while trying to figure out how to address this and say what I want to say, for as thrilled as I am to have won, I don't want to make it seem like I am gloating or in any other way slighting Justin, Troy, and Jim, who were nothing short of 100% encouraging throughout this whole process and with whom I have grown very close. Reading the announcement last night was a great joy, and I'm on cloud nine this morning. I can't wait to walk into Toys R Us and see a figure I created hanging on the pegs (let's hope she's easier to find than Gung-Ho). There is just a touch of bitter-sweetness to that knowing that Justin, Troy, and Jim won't be able to share this experience with me.
We made a vow that the winner would take the lead in the campaign to get the other three characters made. Toward that end, I will be starting another thread as soon as I publish this.
Please don't mistake my words above as anything less than excitement and gratitude for everyone who has voted for my character, offered encouraging words, or otherwise been part of the process (because in the end, I think that this was good for the brand regardless of who you voted for). I'm thrilled that Stiletto was chosen. I just don't in any way want to make it seem like I am gloating or otherwise doing anything to make my fellow contestants feel bad.
