Best Minimates of 2013

The time has come again Minimate Multiverse for your voice(s) to be heard. Voting for The Best Minimates of 2013
will soon begin. For those of you who have participated in this event
before, you know the drill. For those of you new to the MMMV, here's the
rundown of what you gotta do:

Posted below is a list of every minimate produced in 2013 (238 mates by my count) and the 23 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
(first choice, second choice, third choice). The standard 3 points, 2 points & 1 point award system will be used as it has in past award shows.

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 January 1st and run all month, as many of you are still awaiting minimates released in December. Voting will officially close January 31, 2014.
Shortly afterwards I will post all the winners and losers in a
grandiose awards show. And making its return will be the ever popular red carpet pre-show.


Here are the 23 categories you'll be voting on this year

  • BEST MINIMATE (top 3 choices)
  • BEST ACCESSORY (WEAPON ) (top 3 choices)

Note:
I may have neglected to name some minimates in certain waves or boxed
sets, but that's because they were mentioned in a complimenting wave or
set.

If I have accidentally neglected to mention a minimate altogether, please tell me and I'll add it to the list.

Look over your collections, start thinking about your choices and have fun. Please feel free to ask any questions.

@ Nervous: Yeah, I've pretty much moved on from the customizing game. After I started doing minimate comics my customs became few and far between. Call it evolution of the hobby. You never know though, one day I may return to my custom roots.

@ hellpop: Yes, I will be adding BHM's suggestion of "best minimate innovation" to the list of categories this year.
