Please list as many candidate as you like. Here 's MY top three....not in any order
1. 3A's DLX Optimus Prime..
The best in the industry joint engineering with Metal Build'esque diecast frame with one of the BEST paint app, ALL at under $200 USD!!!
2. KA Gaiking.
Costing twice as much as DLX at $400, It has part fitting "problems!" Things falls down and some joints becomes loose a la Metal Build....
BUT "THE MAGIC" is VERY real(to ME.) The figure is modder's dream....EVERYTHING is accessible. It has TOO much "potential." I just NEVER had a figure quite like this. It's like a dropdead gorgeous girl with some SERIOUS flaws....But more you get to know her, i know i can deal with all that.
3....
Who are YOURS?
I will add a poll coming Sunday to add top three candidates and we can vote the winner out of those three finalist from there.

Sounds like KA Gaiking won't make it to the finals already. Can only think of a couple off my head: - POSE+ Baikanfu - ThreeZero DLX Optimus Prime - Flame Toys Kuro Kara Kuri 04 Optimus Prime - DX SOC Voltes V should probably be on the list, but mine won't arrive until months later, so can't really 'volt' for it. I'll keep updating my list if I can think of more.

Haha, so far its DLX Optimus Prime!!
And if he wins, id say its WELL DESERVED. An EXCELLENT figure at an INSANE value!!
Blows away SO~ many figures at any price range.
I cant fathom how anyone can do better at that price point.
Only SOC Voltron at original $299 MSRP comes to mind..

Ehhhh but it’s a Transformer... a movie Transformer that doesn’t transform. 😛 I can barely watch transformers movies.
I got rid of all my Transformers too many of them especially with KOs and third parties flooding the market. I don’t have one transformer in my collection and never will. Even though I grew up watching the cartoon. No thanks for me.
I’ll have to wait until I get couple late 2020 orders before I can add something. I personally like KA Gaiking so much I sold off my SoC one don’t need it anymore in my collection. Not saying it’s Toy of year but it is nice piece.

Ooh, two for two!!
Its a TIGHT race now! Who's going to break the tie! Anyone anyone? Please add YOUR candidates.
BTW, I dont disagree with the sentiment.... A transformer figure that doesn't transform.... I guess that's like Iron Man figure that doesn't have diecast to me. I'd never buy that. I'd NEVER buy all plastic IG-88. NEVER!!

LOL, takes just the 3rd vote to win TOTY. I have a few non-transforming Transformers, pretty expensive ones too, mind you. As well as all the few Hot Toys Ironman I own has no diecast...now you guys made me sad.

I do my best not insult collector’s personal taste.It’s nothing personal to anybody in this forum. All RJ bros here.
I think I’m just so sick of transformers ever since my use to be friend texted me 161 photos of his new transformers non stop I got so sick of them. Needless to say I blocked him. 😂😛
I don’t have these but they are on order but these two maybe contention: CCS Toys Gurren Lagann DX Voltes V

I am more or less retired from Transformers myself, even the MP line don't appeal to me anymore. But once in a while the non-transforming DLX or Flame Toys ones look so cool with the Sentinel style engineering and articulation, that piqued my interest again. LOL, this conversation just reminded me of another cool non-transforming Prime to add to my list.

A little LOL! Come on Zman, you my bro too. Who are YOUR candidates? Where would DX Voltes V fall under? 2020 or 2021? if 2020, most of us don’t have him yet.

Gosh, I guess 2020 WAS a slim picking at least for us gokin collectors.
I can only pick two myself. Maybe KA God Mazinger for my 3rd one.(nope, that's 2019 release...wow)
Yes We should pick figures we had for few days of play.

2020 has a bunch of cool stuff. Metal Build Astraea with High Mobility Equipment, Metal Build Red Frame Kai ver.2, Metal Build Eva recolor, Robot Damashii Vierres, Metal Robot Damashii Barbatos, GFFMC Snow White Prelude, Green Zaku II, POSE+ Goshogun...etc.
Just that a lot of them are either repaints, smaller releases, or just not quite being the top of its kind.

Not many candidates for me this year (only got some sentai toys, and old SOCs, the whole mazinger angels crew, battle fever robo, leopardon reissue). Also agree with the non transforming transformer issue... I'd never get that, the only transforming/combiner I got are the getter cause there's so much magic there that are impossible to do in a way that aesthetics and proportions. My vote goes for the CCS toys gurren lagann (I have a PO of the second batch and watched many reviews, I've been waiting a gurren lagann for years, the Konami is out of my price range)

i dont think 2020 deserve a TOTY event, it was such a sh!ty year man, most of us didn't get most of the stuff they preorder since the shipping was and still limited, not to mention there is very few releases that year
but for me the best figure this year is Pose + Goshogun it just crushed everything, i wont say Voltes since it will be for 2021 but even if we compare them, i think Ghosogun is better, DX Voltes didnt bring anything new to the table, its just similar to Combattler v
honorable mentions goes for
CCS GL (which im still waiting for)
5 Pro Blitzway Mechander Robo
GX91 Getter 3 only, Getter 2 is average
and thats it, i hope 2021 one will be better but i think it will be, same sh!t different year

2020 has been more of a catching up year for me so I guess CCS Gurren Lagann wins by default.

I wasn’t sure if I received Pose+ Goshogun 2019 or 2020 but looked in my order history and see it was shipped in late Jan-2020. If that’s case I put vote Pose+ Goshogun for sure. The other stuff it’s still pending shipping.
