Yeah, I'm not a conspiracy theory guy, I'm just in a mood to rant cause I want that Mohawk Storm pretty bad, and I was so happy she won the poll. In the future I hope they just run one poll, whether the results are published or not, cause this setup was kinda designed to alienate those of us watching the poll results on the first poll. I also doubt that there was a huge number of votes on the TRU poll.

Ha! I've discussed minimates for awhile on Fwoosh and AFI, but I've just been a lurker here. My annoyance with this poll motivated me to join this forum to find another place to complain. :biggrin: I just messed around with the math. If you take the numbers from the first poll and pretend that the vote totals were the same for the 2nd poll.....and then switch the order of characters by putting the 4 from the box set in the top 4, and the 2 from the 2-pack at 5 and 6, and then total them up, Storm would still have to finish 9th or 10th to not make the top 6 overall. And if you combine the votes for Beyonder and Captain Marvel with their energy forms and do the same thing, Storm would have to finish 8 out of 8 to not make the top 6. Obviously I don't know what the order is or how many votes there were, so this proves nothing (other than I just wasted my time), but it does suggest that it is highly unlikely that she finished out of the top 6 overall. They may have merged the votes on the energy forms into the totals for Beyonder and Captain Marvel, but I'm not sure that changes it too much. I doubt that Storm finished last in the 2nd poll. In my own defense, I wouldn't bitch so much if I didn't love these. Every time I look at my Marvel collection I shake my head thinking how awesome it would be if DC was into wave 30+. If they were hitting the kind of depth of characters that the Marvel ones have, wow.

The following rant is in response to the post on AFI with the TRU secret wars minimates 2 pack, which is labeled "runners up from the TRU poll". http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/main/to...inimates-2-pack I'm gonna sound like a little baby, and I know that's annoying, but..... WTH? Mohawk Storm finished 1st in the first poll they put up. It ran the longest, and you could see the results as it went. I was checking it everyday. Late in the voting they opened a different poll on a different site with hidden results. Now they have announced a 4-pack of the winners and a 2-pack of "runners up" and Mohawk Storm is not in either. So are they really trying to say that the number one vote getter in the poll that most likely had more total votes than the hidden poll couldn't even scratch the top 6 when they combined the votes? It's just highly unlikely. We'll probably get her anyway, it's just the principle of it. All the Marvel Minimate stuff lately has been awesome, and the new stuff at the con looks great too, but what's the deal here? What's the point in having us vote if you're just gonna make what you want anyway?
