MINI_MYTE Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) The time has come again Minimate Multiverse for your voice(s) to be heard. Voting for The Best and Worst Minimates of 2011 has begun . For those of you who have participated in this event before, you know the drill. For those of you new to the MMMV, here a rundown of what you gotta do: Posted below is a list of every minimate produced in 2011 (194 mates by my count) and the 17 categories for which they are eligible to be voted in. You will submit your top 3 choices per category (unless otherwise indicated) in descending order. The standard 3 points, 2 points & 1 point award system will be used as it has in past Best & Worsts. I'd like to keep the results a surprise for the "big award show" in February, so please send me your votes via PM. But I know there are some of you who want to publicly showcase your picks, so to you guys, you can post them in the thread. Voting will take place starting today and run to the end of January, as many of you are still awaiting minimates released in December. Voting will officially be over January 31, 2012. Shortly afterwards I will post all the winners and losers in a grandiose awards show. And don't worry, the red carpet pre-show will make it's return as well Here are the 17 categories to be voted on this year: BEST MINIMATE (top 3 choices) WORST MINIMATE (top 3 choices) BEST ACCESSORY (top 3 choices) WORST ACCESSORY (top 3 choices) BEST ACCESSORIZED MINIMATE (top 3 choices) BEST WAVE OR BOXED SET (top 1 choice) WORST WAVE OR BOXED SET (top 1 choice) BIGGEST SLEEPER- "Didn't see that one coming" - unexpectedly good, an unsung hero (top 3 choices) BEST VARIANT- not just a labeled variant, but an alternate version of a previously released figure (top 1 choice) WORST VARIANT- not just a labeled variant, but an alternate version of a previously released figure (top 1 choice) SEXIEST MINIMATE - male, female, robot or other (top 3 choices) UGLIEST / SCARIEST MINIMATE * (top 3 choices) FAVORITE TOYS R US or CON EXCLUSIVE* (top 3 choices) single mates, not pairs.

Punisher Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Voted! Thanks a ton for putting this together, MINI-MYTE! One thing -- you forgot the SONY mates as well as the NYCC exclusives (Zombies and Firefighter Spidey packs). Also, i've realized -- I hardly bought any minimates this year!

The list has been UPDATED. Thanks Punisher. Two plus hours of typing makes one forget a mate here and there. Glad you guys are keeping me on my toes.

Nessex Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 SEXIEST MINIMATE (top 3 female characters) Was this always a female only category? I don't want to be 'that guy' who can't help Nitpicking, but I feel like i remember Nightwing winning a mention in this field? We have a few androphile's on the board here , so maybe this category could be opened up to minimates of any gender (which will also help include some of the 'mates without specific genders like the Jackal Sniper . . . because i know you all find it totally hot!)?

Yeah, last year it wasn't gender specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexiest minimate is a touch and go category. Yes, at one point Cappy did split the category into male and female. I tried to keep that alive last year, but hardly anybody voted for any male contenders. I believe I received votes from 2 forum members and neither of their picks matched up, so I scrapped the category. Believe it or not, a handful of forum members don't even like voting for sexiest minimate and omit it altogether from their vote. I was the one who created this category back in 2007 and thought it would be more of a gag category and not taken too seriously. I like to think the results reflect who minimates would consider sexy and not the actual people casting the votes. If that makes any sense. By all means vote for whoever you want in this category. No need to twist my arm. It's all in good fun and I'm game. I have one set of votes submitted already and there are 2 women and 1 man listed. So go nuts people and have some fun with this category. UPDATE: Sexiest Minimate category amended. Edited December 30, 2011 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) You know, I was going through the list, and thinking to myself "I don't think there's any that qualifies as worst Minimate this year". Then I remembered the Femme Fatales box set... EDIT: you missed the Zombie giveaway from NYCC this year.

MINI_MYTE Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Under the category of Favorite TRU or Con exclusive, please indicate single mates and not sets. I know some sets are great pairings, but c'mon... you favor one over the other(s). Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 I await these results with joy and trepidation. I hope you're not just going to sit on the sidelines and wait to see who the rest of us picked. Even though you work for DST you are still a member of this forum and thus eligible to vote. I await your list of choices Mr.Oat. Your picks will be kept strictly confidential. Speaking of votes, I only have a small handful so far, so... if you want your voice heard forum members, send me those votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) We are nearing the mid-month mark and I only have votes from 7 members (including myself). Come on people, 2000 of us here at the MMMV and there have only been seven votes submitted so far? I know a lot of you wait till closer to the closing date to submit your picks, but I thought there'd be at least a dozen or so sent in at this time. Your votes are important and will make all the difference in the world. FYI, Danger Room Wolverine is the front runner for Best Minimate of 2011 so far. Danger Room Wolverine! Do your civic duty and help turn the tide by casting your votes. Edited January 13, 2012 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
