You know the drill, by now... the top ten vote getters of the previous three polls are gathered together for one, final 1997 poll! Choose, but choose wisely. For while the true Best Figure of 1997 will give you life, the false one will take it from you!
I'm going to change my vote from the earlier poll and pick Baroness this time around. I can't believe this is only her second figure, at this point, and the blue really looks good.

Most of these figures got guff when they came out for not being straight rereleases of "nostalgicly perfect" figures. Today many are held in pretty high regard. They may not be perfect, but all of the figures on this final list are at least "good" if not "great"
I know I may be the only one to pick him when up against Baroness and Stalker, but Hawk's my man. Bring on the 1998 poll! |

Difficult choice between Stalker and Baroness. Decided to go with Stalker.

Baroness may have laid it on a little thick with the whole pale complexion deal, but everyone was going goth in 97. Didn't detract from the sweet blue duds. She gets my pick.

Four days left and Baroness is holding a small lead!

I only own two from this year cause the quality was so abysmal across the board.
Storm Shadow was the best of them, in my opinion. I liked the deco, too. It's back to basics in his original uniform, but with a slight homage to his Ninja Force color scheme. No Cobra symbol either, so in my mind, this was his next look after the 1992 figure. (Since we never got that Ninja Commando version. I can't believe some people actually were able to get those, decades later. Wish i had one.) The file card art showed his classic Cobra outfit, but the text reads that he's still a Joe member and Hawk is glad he's on their side now. There wasn't much to go during this little "mini-resurrection" of the line, so in my mind, there was some kind of catastrophic mission where the rest of Ninja Force got killed, and Storm Shadow blames himself. He changes his outfit cause he doesn't feel worthy to wear the Ninja Force outfit anymore, but he wears a variation of the colors as a tribute to them. |
