An idea I got and thought I'd pass along was to do a preliminary round of Top 5 figures Hasbro should have already released from each movie/animation/live action. I feel like a lot of votes go for characters that would complete a team, or ones that should be obvious choices and keep people from nominating other figures. I mean, it feels weird that we have to ask for Luthen Rael, Baze, Bodhi, or the rest of the Bad Batch when we should already have them in our collections.

So, to clarify my thoughts a bit more (or at least try):
- Vote Top 5 figures from each movie/show we fell should already have been done. These will be called some cool name that I can't think of yet... feel free to suggest something.
- The Top 5 winners would then be included a separate category during their respective sources Top 10, so you would be free to vote 10 other characters and not choose obvious ones, which would be disqualified from being chosen as they are already in the Top 5 (does this make sense?).

Example:

Animation (Top 5)
  1. Wrecker (The Bad Batch)
  2. Omega (The Bad Batch)
  3. Crosshair (The Bad Batch)
  4. Echo (The Bad Batch)
  5. Tech (The Bad Batch)

Animation (Top 10)
  1. Admiral Trench (The Clone Wars)
  2. Pong Krell (The Clone Wars)
  3. Asajj Ventress (The Clone Wars)
  4. Agent Kallus (Rebels)
  5. Duchess Satine Kryze (The Clone Wars)
  6. Vlix (Droids)
  7. Asajj Ventress (Bounty Hunter)
  8. Mother Talzin (The Clone Wars)
  9. Fenn Rau (Rebels)
  10. Durge (Tartakovsky)
Let me know what you think...

Lucasfilm has offered their timeline of eras. Whether or not that translates well for figure polling is another matter entirely.

I appreciate the graphic and I suppose that's what I was basing some of them on from the prequels on... but I felt it confined some since a lot of potential new figures come from The New Republic (Mandalorian, Ahsoka, Book, Skeleton Crew), they end up competing with each other.

Those are good examples… 5 Alive?

I’ll post a separate thread for the Top 5s if people think this is a good idea.

For some reason, my brain is fixed on Fives:

Criterion Collection,
Platinum Collection,
No Brainers
Fives' Favorites
Fives Alive (nah)
Fives' Mandatory Five

I think I'm leaning towards Five's Fantastic Five at the moment.

Also thinking about added a Jedi category as well.
