I still like him, but I don't LOVE him like some would it seems.<br /><br />As for what mgf said about the DC sculpts. . . . . . <br /><br />I completely agree, although it seems to me they went out of their way to pick the ugliest, or least favorable costumes for the last set of DC characters. I mean, did you see Negative Man? Robot Man? Enlongated Woman? Doom patrol got 0 love in my opinion. The only good looking sculpt coming that I see is the Hellblazer (complete with blood splatter).<br /><br />I'd just like to know if this line still has a pulse, or we are talking complete flatline.zombiedude13https://www.blogger.com/profile/10848636837711578416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-88603344948625234722012-07-22T03:45:56.543+01:002012-07-22T03:45:56.543+01:00Not a word from Dan recently...

And of course then there is the problem of "sample bias" in that it can not be determined if it is a fair presentation of the overall preference, rather than just that of a select few. And I agree that the lowest voted figures should drop off after some point (I think that time has come for the first) and follow-up polls should be conducted. That would at least correct that flaw.<br /><br />I wasn't trying to be antagonistic of put you down at all.<br /><br />I don't know about your "sockpuppet" charge (multiple accounts from one user.) That might be true or not. I know for example that a number of people have posted saying that they generally only vote on polls but hardly ever post comments. I myself did that at first.ADParkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16757866020688353491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-64169781577846114672012-07-21T21:15:19.561+01:002012-07-21T21:15:19.561+01:00My most wanted is Groot, followed by Lockjaw who i...My most wanted is Groot, followed by Lockjaw who is stealing the lead, so its not like I'm unhappy with the results either.<br /><br />But if EM wants to see which will sell the most, we should have had a yes/no option on all 6 Specials and then we could have just seen which one had the highest percentage. It doesn't matter which one we love most, it matters what we'll buy.<br /><br />As a marmite character (and I hate to say this, because I really want Lockjaw so much more) I'm betting Lockjaw is more people's favorite choice than people that will buy him at all, whereas Skurge is a safer choice, the majority would buy him, but he won't get many votes because he's not the favorite.<br /><br />So he's not as beloved, but he'd sell more. I'm guessing here. But I have to guess because the poll is flawed. I called for that here before the poll was started. I said so after it was started on the forum. And while its "Just for fun" they do advertise it as "Results will be sent to EM."Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085161355962218728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-46623720758084035802012-07-21T18:59:17.112+01:002012-07-21T18:59:17.112+01:00Happy birthday, Thor8!

The poll is flawed. It should have ended weeks ago, dropped Archangel (the lowest polling option - my fave, so I am not biased here), and gone again. It took a couple days if that to reach substantial votes. Repeat process. The 16 or whatever for archangel spreads out votes, and may even boost others. Whittle another down, and those votes get spread out etc. Lockjaw may get more votes and look like a clear winner, or someone 75% of people who didnt vote for may choose someone else. We'll never know, because people running the poll can manipulate it how they want.<br /><br />If its all for fun, then all areas should be tested, even if it gets the same results.LAWayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799064595287606916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-17742406351460575392012-07-21T17:44:29.830+01:002012-07-21T17:44:29.830+01:00Since it's my birthday today I think I'll ...Since it's my birthday today I think I'll treat myself to some marvel madnes.Thor8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531778820407023091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-44661044250379694102012-07-21T17:41:24.348+01:002012-07-21T17:41:24.348+01:00Not really interested in the poll results.
