The “Best Figures Awards” (http://www.befa-awards.com/) is coming once again! In this year, I’m being invited as one of the nomination committee! The purpose of this event is to select the best figure that was released between January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 by internet users (YOU!).
- Best Figures Awards 2011 1st Round <-You’re HERE
- Best Figures Awards 2011 2nd Round: The final
- The Winner of Best Figures Awards 2011
I had nomiated 5 figures, and above 4 made into the final 20. (they don’t like Mina Tepes by Kotobukiya ='(, too loliness? ) I didn’t nomiate any Good Smile Company and Max Facotry figures on purpose since their quality control and pricing were really disappointing last year.
So which are your favorite figures out of these 20? It would be great if you can pick those 4 that I nomiated, keekee. =P

sanada bansai
Got a feeling Momo’s gonna win it.
I think that will be BRS because of losted star haha
Already voted! Momohime (my guess for winner), Velvet, Shoujo S aaaand someone else I don’t remember. Guessing they didn’t make it.
Momohime of course.
the L2 elf will always have a special place in here *pads my heart*. just very elegant and pretty. but if i wanted something that looks awesome, id probably go for Clalaclan Phirias Armor Ver.by Alter.
My votes goes to Shoujo S, Momohime and Elwing
Momohime – Beautiful figure overall, nice color, great pose.
Shoujo S – She looks almost EXACTLY like in the illustration.
Elwing – Simple yet elegant, big, you get more than you paid for.
Momohime and Mercedes from Alter – they are extraordinary and beautiful. I felt in love for a first sight.
Kousaka Tamaki by Max Factory – the best Tamaki figure in my opinion. She is ero, but in the same time she looks innocent and warm. I want her, she looks adorable.
¿Where is Selvaria by Alter? She is even more amazing than Momohime
I voted for Velvet and Ayanami Rei by Yamoto. They’re both stunning.
There’s a problem on links to befa-awards.com, there’s a “;” at the end of the link.
I voted vote for Momohime and Good Smile’s Saber 🙂
Sad that I don’t own any of those OTL I would vote Momohime and Velvet though~
momohime and valvet
Saber ~Triumphant Excalibur~ by Good Smile Company
– Cannot wait to juxtapose with Vortigern when she comes out….
I agree with one comment above, why no Selvaria??? =( queen’s blade and touhou project, neither… damn.
well, I’ll vote of course in figures that I have… I can tell that they REALLY are worth of it. Since a lot of guys are already voting in Momohime, I’ll go with Miku VN02, Clalaclan (the one I think that should win) and Dead Master (despite the incoming version being more gorgeous).
I own a few of the figures listed above and have seen the others first-hand. Without a doubt, Momohime is my top choice in my collection.
This figure was made out of love. The pictures online don’t do her justice. The attention to details, coloring, dynamic pose, facial expression, body proportion, and attire come together to bring Momohime to life.
Sound a little bias from me? Then test it yourself, put any figure you own next to Momohime and compare the two. Even without any flashy gimmicks like huge weapons, fanservice (large boobs/sex poses), and extreme poses…. Momohime still shines out the rest.
Happiness purchase I’ve ever made for a figure.
I own 7 of the above… I would vote Mercedes. I have never played Odin Sphere, but I simply love the figure. Great posture, great stand, and a pair of unique glassy wings.
I would have also voted Shoujo S if she isn’t stuffed under my desk coz I am too embarrassed to put her on the shelf…
I’ve got 3 of those figures, so I’ll vote for the 3 that I have.
Oh, the 3 I have are
Nanoha
Seena
Shoujo S
I have Dead Master and Momohime, Momohime is awesome! she just shine but Dead Master is not that outstanding, I think it has to do with the face…. maybe just to plain?
So for me is:
1) Momohime
2) Sanada Yukimura ( T-T I love to get my hands on her some day )
3) Velvet ( I just love red so much XP )
