Has Bandai close "the strange gap" on Doublas' bottom of his "underwear?" (Thanks in advance) I don't see any gap or other weirdness there. But now that I think about it, isn't it the same waist parts that are used on GX-01 anyhow? Nice, that means Bandai FIXED and closes the "ahem" part line gap on his hip. EDIT: actually, I checked out S_Gokin's IG photos of him and...I see the part line gap on bottom of his "underwear." (Sad but expected.) Getterboi, I adjusted the dates tobe more accomodating. MPchi, I "think" the Poll this site uses only allows one vote per person.

Alright guys,
I will be closing the nomination part of this ceremony "soon" and start "the polling process."
If you have a 2023 "candidate" in mind, this is YOUR call.
Good luck to your candidate, and I hope he wins.teehee

greengetterguy You should allow nominations until the end of the year and start the polls in January. Technically DX SOC Mazinger reissue is coming out before end of 2023... so could still qualify but no one has it in hand yet to nominate it. Agree. Should give the late release the last couple weeks of Dec, before we wrap things up. Also, are we still doing just 1 vote per person? Sometimes it is hard to just get to vote on 1 thing, when you have a couple 'favorites of the year'. Often very good release barely gets any vote because of that in the past couple years. 3 votes per person would be nice, but I'll go along with whatever you guys want to stick with. It is just for fun afterall. oof for some reason I thought you asked for 2 votes per member...sorry but we can do three votes per member on TOTY 2024 if there no valid objections. meanwhile due to a popular demand, we can vote TWICE this year's TOTY yay!!

DX Mazinger getting multiple votes already, despite no one getting their hand on it. You can't convince me this forum doesn't have a Bandai bias.

as a Mazinger fan
guys i think its very unfair for the other figures to have the DX Mazinger in the poll since its an R version, i know its unbeatable and its ageless but, we should give a chance to the new comers this year
my vote will go for CCS Great Mazinkaiser

Thanks man. Two is still good. Just want some of the underdogs get some votes too, and we can tell roughly if those candidates have some audience/buyers among the RJ folks. With just a single vote, almost all would go to just the couple top runners, and the rest will barely have any, also harder to tell how much our group love the rest, even if they are less likely to win. Also, less likely to come into a situation when "my favorite figure A barely get any votes, might as well give my only vote to figure B to give it a fighting chance". 3 votes per person next year would be ideal!

Well I don't have CCS great mazinkaiser but I voted it anyway... You can watch reviews and recognize the quality a technical level of a figure without owning it...

CCS Cybaster is about just as advanced as their Great Mazinkaiser (actually a bit more so, on the way they handle the LEDs and their activation), but the poor thing didn't even get 1 vote. Meanwhile, Mazingers leading the poll. Character bias! LOL

Well I don't have CCS great mazinkaiser but I voted it anyway... You can watch reviews and recognize the quality a technical level of a figure without owning it... For me personally, I believe that TOTY awards should be based on figures released in the year that members experienced, not just based on pure quality, but also how much of an impression it left on them. As pure toys some of what I purchased this year might be considered objectively better than the Hagsne Works Dancouga, but that toy did a great job of tickling that nostalgia bone, and gave me a strong desire to play and mess with it. Voting for an updated version of an old figure, especially if you didn't even purchase it or receive it yet, goes against the spirit of the vote in my opinion. However I'm also that rare super robot fan who doesn't care too much about the Go Nagai trio.

Ialdabaoth got misspelled with a big letter "L" in the front. No wonder it got no votes! I do agree that being able to handle and experience a release plays a big part. There are a few cases I would rate a figure differently before and after handling it, whether it turned out to be above or below my expectations. But the poll is mainly for fun, so I don't think it is necessary to be a rule of some sort that we have to vote for things we own only. Just that I usually do that, since I can vote more accurately based on my own hands-on impression.

The DX mazinger being a slight redo there should have included pose+ goshogun limited edition? I think the ccs mazinkaiser and skystudio getter being completely new releases would be considered more...
