Since this is our first time running this event, there is an element of feeling things out as it evolves. The response has been tremendous so far with over 1200 submissions (and 12,000 figures nominated) at the time of this writing. This helps inform the shape of the event going forward, and it may contradict some statements made at the onset. There’s some good stuff at the bottom, so please keep reading.
Nomination Phase End Date
This tremendous response means two things that have the same outcome. First, because we’ve already achieved “statistically significant” polling results, we don’t need to keep the nomination phase open as long as initially thought. Second, also because of this huge response, we will need more time to clean the data before the voting starts. Both of these things mean that the nomination phase will now conclude this Friday, 11/17 at 11:59 PM EST. If you haven’t done so already, please submit your 10 Most Wanted figures before then. You can do so HERE.
In case you’re wondering what “clean the data” means, it’s the process of combining all the various ways a figure can be nominated into one standardized name. For example, Luke ANH, Luke Episode IV, Luke Episode 4, Luke Tatooine ANH, and Luke Farmboy need to all be standardized into “Luke Skywalker (‘Farm Boy’ - Episode IV)”. This process takes some time.
