Hello Gang first i wanna say happy new year to every one, and hopefully 2018 will be full of good health, awesome Gokins, and purchasing power of us lol. for me personally 2017 was an awesome year i got alot of awesome releases, and i broke my personal record for figures per year (money well spent) also i made alot of friendships with new members and my friendship with older members got stronger as well (i consider this as gains as well) back to to topic, i know its a bit early but you know me i have no patient like i said 2017 was full of awesome releases, so you can mention any figure you think that it should be toy of the year (no number limits) here is my list 1-5pro Studio Astroganger 2-Bandai Soul Of Chogokin G-70D Mazinger damage ver 3-Metal Robot Damashii Knight Gundam (real type) 4-Bandai Soul Of Chogokin GX-75 Mazinkaiser 5-Bandai Soul Of Chogokin GX-72 Daizyujin (Megazord)

I almost forgot about our TOTY tradition on RJ! Thanks for posting.
Does SOC Voltron count as a 2017 release? I don't remember what happened in the 2016 TOTY thread, but December releases often get the short end of the stick because most don't get it till the following year!
Anyway, a few candidates off the top of my head:
Bandai DX Chogokin VF-31 (or its variant) - best Bandai DX valk yet! Looks good and sturdy in all three modes, and great articulation and fun transformation.
I agree the SOC GX-70D is pretty awesome. Diecast damage parts baby!
This one is sort of from the left field, at least for me and my collection: Takara Diaclone Big Powered GV - incredibly fun toy that I keep messing around with.
Of course if DX Combattler is anything like as advertised it'll automatically be counted!
The astroganger gets my vote for best paint and therefore gets an honorable mention.

come on bro that was my idea therefor i deserve a gold medal and 3 gokins of my choice lol the GX-71 Voltron was the 2016 toy of the year, and i agree with you most of us got it on January but some members got it before that and gave it a huge thumb's up for the DX Combattler v, it will be release on the 29th of this month so it will be much harder for us to get our hands on it before the end of the month, but if any member got it before that and gave it a huge thumbs up, i guess we should include it (its just not fair to include stuff by just promo photos)

Thinking back, I didn't buy that many new releases this year.
1. GX-72 Daizyujin
2. Neca SDCC TMNT figure set/collector's case 3. Black Series 40th Anniversary Darth Vader 4. Figuarts Kamen Rider GenM Zombie Gamer 5. Figuarts Ultraman Orb Origin
I know there's only one gokin on this list. Daizyujin is so beautiful it makes me shed manly tears, it's the Megazord I've always wanted! The turtle case can be your entire TMNT collection with just one purchase. The turtles look great with all of my 1/12 scale figures. Vader is a good piece. I really appreciate the display stand, it is a fun option for my Star Wars display. Zombie Gamer was love at first sight. I don't know Ex-Aid, but I do know that I love skeleton themed characters. Ultraman Orb blew me away last year, and I had been looking forward to this figure ever since. It didn't disappoint!

I know I started one back in the day. I'm sure there were others too but I'm too lazy to search for them. I did find the one I started for 2009. A shot of nostalgia (2009 was actually a pretty darn good toy year, the results was dominated by pinoy votes for Voltes): robotjapan.proboards.com/thread/15806/2009-toty-poll-started-closing

How do you guys even keep track of which year something was preordered and something got released next year?
I' m so lost in that....i cant even track what i bought from whom lol. Well please do correct me if im wrong.
Dougram HMR....a perfect balance of collectable and a toy...though the price point is so so wrong. Mazinge DC Great Mazinger DC Getter 1 DC.....despite its obvious and many short comings, DC line is so amazing. 5Pro Astroganger.....please, if you dont have one get one. Fake color or upcoming Metal version, its an amazingly beautiful and unique piece....a masterpiece.
Now 2018 is going to be AMAZING!!

no need to post links man i will take your word for it this should be a tradition for us each year (it will also help us to see what we missed in the year) i honesty keep tracking for every thing, even downloading invoices and save them in a folder for that specific year, just for fun and knowledge so far 5 votes for each 5pro Astroganger and the GX-70D and 2 votes for each GX-72 and the GX75

My personal favorite is the SRC mazin emperor g. It might not be the best overall figure, but it stands out over the rest of the SRCs. Basically, the best figure relative to the norm. It's an amazing figure and I was totally blown away by it. Truly a superior SRC

1. GX-72 Daizyjin 2. Hi Metal R Dougram 3. GX-75 Mazinkaiser
And that's really it for me this year. I'm not a huge fan of the DC's and not much else has really grabbed me. We've had better years.

Three way tie between GX-73 Great, GX-74 Getter, and Hi-Metal Dougram for me. (Hi-Metal Roundfacer doesn't get to play cause it hasn't arrived yet.)

But i want to vote so bad. We only got 6 more days to vote S. Who knows when the Voltes will come in on time, and who can say we have time to review it by then.
Come on, let us vote!

I'll go with daizyujin... I'm a fan of the super sentai genre and power rangers also. So despite not being the best soc it is one I was really waiting and I really love it (it's the best sentai toy I've handled). Honorable mention goes to the gundam f91 metal build. It has a beautiful design and I enjoyed playing with it.

oh my god the betrayal specially from greengetterguy , i guess im not the only one with no patient after all we supposed to vote today (tonight), its just i didn't want to exclude any figure that deserve a chance for the title, ahhh well whats done is done, my vote will still go to Astroganger, its the first true Gokin for the character its well made and the paint is awesome locidm i picked figures that got at least 3 votes, the VF-31 got only two votes like the GX-74 Getter robo DC to be honest all of the figures in the final list deserve to be toy of the year, remind me next year to enable multiple choices

Yeah, and i voted for Mazinger damaged at that. (I didn't even have that in my top five.) How do you like that S.? That's how i do it for "on the REAL"!
Just kidding...But i had a change of mind. I completely forgot about GX-70D somehow. to me, this figure is monumental and significant in many ways as it is the "only" in few catagories as far as i can tell. It also has one of the ugliest Koji sculpt ever...how utterly charming.
