My guess is he would have still been ranked in the Top 10 of 2024 (maybe not 3rd, but probably 5th or 6th) even if the first 50 votes he got would have been based on the figure alone.

And on top of it all, he's Jewish (very meaningful to me, at least). Though, my head canon is that Mutt is Jewish, too. |

He and Zandar both look overly groomed/pretty. (I still like Clutch's file card description of using motor oil on his hair - he's like Razor Ramon.) Everything else you wrote is agreeable and it's been interesting (to me) to see how well Clutch has been received.

This round did not go well for me! Which means the next round won't either...dang. Still fingers crossed for the BIG WIN for Mutt & JY!!!

At some point, all the figures are pretty good, and character is going to win out for me. Especially when there is this much reuse (not saying that is a bad thing), but there is nothing new or special about Clutch (you can make the same argument about Beach Head, I know). But he's basically Outback outside of a new portrait and vest. We're all splitting hairs anyhow, which is the whole point of ranking these figures. I love them all, but I definitely took the Vamp into account when ranking him. I would venture to guess that Wild Bill is getting a slight edge due to the Dragonfly as well. Even if ranked separate from the vehicle, it's hard to disassociate the two, at least for me. EDIT: Quote:
I don't think the VAMP has been a part of people's decision-making. He's OG13, he was always one of the standouts, he has a ton of character (plus prominence in the Skybound book) and even with significant part reuse he's pretty much flawlessly executed. One of the very best head sculpts in Classified history. I think he's just THAT popular. To me, he's comparable to Doc in terms of execution of a long-standing fan favorite.
And on top of it all, he's Jewish (very meaningful to me, at least). Though, my head canon is that Mutt is Jewish, too. Clutch just isn't important to me personally, but I feel the same way about most of the OG13. Being born in '85, all of those guys just looked boring and outdated to me by the time they made their way into my toy box. Last edited by DFender; 01-20-2025 at 12:04 PM.. |

Perlmutter is a German and Ashkenazic Jewish surname, so Mutt could be Jewish. If so, it means both Jewish Joe team members also hailed from New Jersey too.
I was thinking about where I would rank Clutch on my personal 2024 list. I think he'd be around 15 to 20 out of the 55 figures from 2024. So definitely high up for me, just not quite Top 10.

![]() And case in point, I JUST accidentally edited your post instead of quoting it at first! LOL Shit, my brain's on break today too.
