The time is upon us Mighty Marvel HeroClix Fans! Now you, YOU the fans can tell us which character you would like to see in and upcoming Marvel HeroClix expansion due out in Summer 2013! We’re offering 12 characters for you to choose from, and we’ve also included a brief Bio for you all to help with your selection.

The third (and final) round of voting begins today and closes on Thursday, September 27th, 2012.

So join in the fun and make your voices heard! It’s Marvel HeroClix Decision 2012! With so many excellent candidates, WHO will be the #1 Marvel HeroClix Fan Vote winner?

Wow! Really??! .................... I can't vote for any of these.

This is already much better than the DC fan vote, as I recall. Every new round kept knocking out the figs I wanted the most. The Final round in that one didn't have anything I was too excited about.

This time around, though, is very different. My top 3 from the very beginning were Xemnu, Death's Head, and Sleepwalker. To see two out of that 3 make it to the finals is fantastic.

Choosing between Death's Head and Sleepwalker, though, is agonizing. I guess I will go with Sleepwalker again. Man, that's a tough call.

Wikipedia'd Sleepwalker. Pretty cool character.

And some people would have felt exactly the same if your top picks had made it this far. Vive la différence.

Time to put Sleepwalker to sleep, yes?

So I'm pretty pleased that both Death's Head and Sleepwalker made the top 3. I would be quite happy with either of them, though Death's Head still has my vote. But I'm a little surprised that Rule 63 Ghost Rider made the cut over characters like 3D Man and Ikon (who both are needed to finish out keyworded teams), or even Silver Sable (who I don't personally think needs remaking, but seemed to have a lot of support).

I actually had to look up who the heck Alejandra Blaze even was. Wikipedia was no help, as she only got a one-paragraph blurb at the end of the Ghost Rider article. Wikia eventually came through... and as I haven't read Fear Itself, I've apparently missed 95% of her appearances in the Marvel U. And judging by her history, it seems like mostly she's just screwed things up and gotten herself into jams that Johnny Blaze had to rescue her from? Color me unimpressed.

Okay, now that I have that rant out of my system: It's worth noting that I seem to be able to vote once every hour or so. I encourage everyone to continuouslyvote for the two characters that actually have some history, so we don't end up with a Rookie version of a character that could either disappear completely during "Marvel NOW!" or simply change drastically depending on who ends up writing Ghost Rider in the change.

I voted for Death's Head again. Be sure to vote on the official poll.

Sleepwalker all day

and night

But mostly night.

I voted for Death's Head. I mean, he's hung out with Transformers AND Dr. Who!

It's nice to see people push the more obscure figures through instead of Lantern X or Remake 2. Would've like to see 3D Man make it through, but I'd rather see him as Triathlete... I know I'm probably one of the few...

Come on sleep walker!

Boooooooooo!

I know, I know!

Still, we don't have to vote for her; there's still Death's Head and Sleepy!
