I tried to prevent that. That's why on the poll where he won the add-in spot, I kept publishing the totals and pushing for write ins. That said, I'm kinda stuck in my ways, and don't like the slippery slope of removing characters. Which leads me to the current add -in standings. There's another near the top that will hardly get votes, but if people don't suggest their add-ins, then they'll get added too (deliberate use of a plural noun showing a representation of multiple beings).
That's that guy's reward for consistency and persistence. He gets to vote for his favorite character every round, until 40 rounds from now, he eventually wins. Honestly, I'm probably responsible for 50% of Torch's votes, and clutch before him...

Not at all. If you like her, then vote for her. I was more saying that if you don't want a character, then make sure you nominate someone. I apologize if that's not how I came across. We've averaged 70 votes per round, but only about 45 posts (many of which are just conversations.)
There are still 7 or 8 characters in the poll I'd vote for, and just like every one else, I can't vote for all of them anyways. I can only vote for one. Myself, I wouldn't vote for Zanya for several rounds, so I'm gonna push for some else that I might vote for. I felt the same way about Sgt. Slaughter, Beachhead, and the twins. But since people voted to add them, who am I to remove them from the poll? And eventually, as would have happened with Beachhead and the twins, we'll get far enough along where I'll get to vote for them, or they'll already have won. |

I'll predict right now that Scrap Iron wins the next round. He's almost tied for 2nd now. I think the Snow Job voters are going to lean to him more than Flash or the current runners-up, because they're both figures from the post-swivel-arm, pre-tilt-neck era...the 1983-84 sweet spot.
I'm going with Leatherneck this round - although I think the next few rounds will be close Add Mercer (and wetsuit and Cross Country - but I guess only Mercer this time!)

I think we're due to add Steel Brigade to the poll this time. The novelty of that "character" being one that represented each of us as a kid could push him over the top. His character was a mirror image of ourselves, projected into the G.I. Joe team. Plus add in the popularity of the POC figure and his convention variants this year, and he's got more topicality than everyone else in the poll other than Kwinn (whose choice of shorts is neither helping him in this poll nor with his sales at 5 Below). I think Steel Brigade is going to take the next slot. Ultimately, people have more of an emotional attachment to Steel Brigade than to Leatherneck.
