Round Four begins! 80 characters were reduced to 40 after Round 3. Now they battle it out in Round 4 for the next top positions. This round lasts one week and has two polls. There are 20 characters in each poll and the top 10 from each poll moves on! Who will make it to Round 5: The Final Round?!? You decide!

The 2016 MOTUC fan poll playoffs are here! This is Round 4 which consists of two polls. Please be sure to vote in both polls!
Poll 1

The polls are sorting polls. Each person will click, drag, and rank the characters in order from most favorite at the top down to least favorite at the bottom. All polls load the character list in random order each time for each person to minimize any effects of any incomplete sorting... although we hope each person will sort the entire list in each poll!

Scott has let us know that Mattel will be watching the results of this unofficial fan poll playoff!

This second week ends Sunday, May 18th at 11:00pm EDT (GMT -4).
Please spread the word. And, most importantly, have fun!

Evilseed
Horde Wraith
Prahvus
Catra Cat Form
Miro
Lord Masque
NA She-Ra
Illumina

My god, is poll #2 hard. It's like choosing children...

But it did confirm one thing: There are ALOT of females that I STILL want in this line past 2015. These polls are a good indicator of the Top Tier desires of the fans who are still here. Even though Oo-Lar lost, I'm so glad that he did pretty well, making it to Round Three. Snake Armor He-Man and All three Hawkes are gone too.

Sorceress
Veena

Man! These are getting tougher and tougher...

[Irian]

Yes, it's getting hard. Now I have to start putting characters I kind of like at the bottom who placed high so I get those characters through that I REALLY like.

Oh how I will curse should those characters I don't like come through just because I placed them higher than the ones I kind of like.

[Zodac666]

OOO- Laaaa Gone! noooooooooooooooo!

[darkmoon766]

OOO- Laaaa Gone! noooooooooooooooo!

I agree. OO-Lar was my favorite. My other favorite filmation hawke/delora also lost because there were 3 versions of her in one poll. I don't know how so many NA characters keep making it in these polls. Some of them are ok, but most of them have terrible designs. Staghorn? Spinwit? If you love these guys, I understand but I still don't get how high they go in these polls when NA sells out the slowest and hold the lowest resale value.

Probably because in a post-2015 universe, NA will represent a faction that had vintage figures and people want to complete that. Also, I can tell you that someone like Staghorn holds much more appeal, personally, to own as a figure than He-man with nothing but a loincloth on.

[AdultCollector]

Only a few characters left that I would spend money on. To many NA characters made it to this round.

[Sword2Blanket]

Poll 1
NA She-Ra
Hunga
Illumina
Lord Masque

Great Black Wizard
Prahvus

Poll 2

Veena
Lady Slither
Kittrina
Calix
Lizard Man
Skeletor Robot Knights
Fang-or
Dylamug

Sometimes I doubt myself between the time I submit my vote and the time I type it out on the forum (which is immediately afterwards). I think I could sort these five times and they'd be different each time.

[Icer1]

My picks:

Poll 1

1. Vultak
2. Hunga
3. General Sunder
4. Great Black Wizard
5. Darius
6. Evilseed
7. Horde Mummy
8. Quakke
9. Ra-Jar
10. Lord Masque

Poll 2

I tend to favor a new character over a variant of an existing character and I never really bought into the oo-lar as his own character idea, he's just Alcala He-Man to me. Don't get me wrong, that would be a good figure to have, he's just a lower priority. Since I'm open to most anything MOTUC, this poll has been more of an exercise in prioritizing for me. The final polls are making it really clear to me how low the NA characters in my personal priorities. The figures always turn out nice, but I just can't muster excitement for the characters until I see a figure from the 4H.

[PantherCult]

Yeah, I'm still all about NA and 200x in my picks for these polls. It's funny but I don't think Adult Collector and I could be farther apart on our wants out of this. I have Catra in Cat form at 20th in her poll and Robot Knights at 19 in theirs...

Here's how I ranked my top 10 in each:
Round 4, Poll 1
1. Evilseed (200x)
2. Quakke
3. Prahvus
4. Vultak
5. Great Black Wizard
6. General Sunder
7. Lodar
8. King Miro
9. NA She-Ra
10. Lorde Masque

Round 4, Poll 2
1. Veena
2. Tuskador
3. Kittrina
4. Lizorr
5. Fang-Or
6. Calix
7. Crita
8. Despara
9. Granita
10. Staghorn

I don't know how so many NA characters keep making it in these polls. Some of them are ok, but most of them have terrible designs. Staghorn? Spinwit? If you love these guys, I understand but I still don't get how high they go in these polls when NA sells out the slowest and hold the lowest resale value.

Well, for one thing I think the people voting in this poll for the NA characters don't give a fig about resale value. We take a look at how great a job the 4 Horsemen are doing at taking those NA designs and breathing life into them in Classics and wanting to see more. Optikk, Icarius, Slush Head, NA He-Man, and soon Flogg and NA Skeletor are all great action figures with fantastic details. Getting Tuskador, Lizorr, Staghorn and the like interpreted like that is exciting and desirable.

Still, as much as I like the NA stuff my #1 overall want is Veena so I'm hoping she continues her strong showing and finishes in the top 10 overall.

[Dragonblaster]

Go Fang-Or!!!

[Skeledor]

At this point the two I want more than any to make it are Veena and Sorceress 200x. I would gladly concede the rest to whoever makes it but I must have these two or I riot HA!!! HA!!!!:

[Braveheart]

I don't get it either, NA figures look awful to me compared to most of the other character designs and concepts that we've seen on these lists, yet they continuously rank high. In my opinion, much better looking potential figures are getting the boot by these NA OZCORP creations.
I hear ya dark moon, To each his own I guess. Oh I don't think we have enough She-Ra's by the way. let's get have another variant knock a character out. Ok I'm done.
