LAST FIGURE STANDING 2024 WINNER:  ARLEIL SCHOUS

The community came out in droves for the finals of this year's Last Figure Standing. With 1,714 votes cast, it was the highest participation rate of any round in the two year history of LFS. Amazingly, only 26 votes separated the two finalists despite this high turn out. That difference is only 1.5% of the total votes. The margin of victory was razor thin. In some ways it's a shame that only one figure can take the crown this year, but them's the breaks. With a total of 870 votes to 844, Arleil Schous edges out The Stranger to win this year's Last Figure Standing!

As we've promised, now that the voting is over, we can reveal more of the data. Once again, John Miko put together an incredible Tableau dashboard. This comprises every single character that got at least ten votes. There are 254 in total:

Last Figure Standing 2024 Dashboard

The dashboard works better on desktop than it does on mobile, so you will get the most out of it on a laptop or PC. The ways you can slice the data on this dashboard are legion. John went all out. You can use the filters across the top, or you can click on either the demographic chart to the right, or the source breakdowns at the bottom (click again to dismiss). I encourage you to spend some time with this. It's amazing.

Lastly, our goal is complete transparency with this poll. As promised, we are making available the spreadsheet of all the submissions and the cleaned names so you can double check our work. It can be downloaded HERE. Remember, if you complain too much about the decisions I made, you're implicitly volunteering to do the work next year 😊. Constructive feedback is welcome.
