I see PP is drawn against Baccus6mm in the next round of the poll on FB. Pity 2 of the 'smaller' companies (in figure size rather than stature!) are in competition!

Sounds interesting but I am not sure what "drawn against" implies?

It's a knockout competition so people vote for which company they like best and the winner goes through.

This carries on until there are two companies left in the final.

Then people get to vote for the winner.

There can be only one.

So we'll lose on penalties?

Peter Pig was identified by the organisers as one of 8 key players in the industry who got a free pass into the quarterfinals - 16 other manufacturers were chosen by popular vote and were then whittled down by further votes against each other - so Baccus won against Old Glory by 296 votes to 154. Some of the ties have attracted over 1000 votes so it'll be interesting to see how this next round goes.

If we win, it is an excellent survey
If we lose...

I know who'll I be voting for!

It's all meant as a bit of fun and not to be taken seriously. Ken did this for wargames rules last year.

The winner then was entirely unsurprising

Blame it on the referee?

If you've not already done so, now's the time to vote for your favourite figure manufacturer 🙂

On Facebook unfortunately, so I can't...

Colonel Kilgore · July 21, 2024, 04:05:57 PM

Same here

Just looked, we are going home about 2/1 in favour of Baccus.

martin goddard · July 21, 2024, 05:32:02 PM

I am sure it is all good fun.
I am not involved with facebook, so will never know.
Onwards.
