Hmm, the Beastmaster is great but I feel like I'm influenced by the accessories he comes with and the Minifigures on its own isn't quite as cool. Gonne have to go with pirate quartermaster with the Christmas tree costume as a close second. Great original designs with lots of charm.
I just can't bring myself to vote for Gingerbread Vader, even though he's really awesome. Wolfpack Beastmaster was my nomination. Zero's great. And I might try to pick up a copy of the 2025 City Advent Calendar just for the tree. I hope the hair from Spider-Punk gets reused plenty now that they have it. We're spoiled for choices.
Please don't vote for a recoloured spaceman
Wow, Poison Ivy didn’t make the list? I think that’s the only one of my nominations that didn’t. Pirate Quartermaster was my runner up, so I’m happy she is here. Otherwise I think there are just too many Star Wars characters with slight improvements, Spider-Man variants, and slightly modified “classic” minifigures here. A Blacktron astronaut with a few logos plastered on his chest and helmet might be a neat variant for fans, but is it really that noteworthy?

Of course not. Blacktron’s at the top of the list.
I saw "Zero" and my Mega Man brain went through the five stages of loss in about two seconds lol. Cool Minifig tho
Never even knew about the updated Blacktron fig. Still giving it to the "recoloured spaceman", though.
The Blacktron astronaut was an easy choice for me.
I was gonna vote Blacktron, but steampunk doesn't gets much love these days, and I really like how well the inventor goes with my H.G. Wells Time Machine MOC... so he gets my vote!
Given how these normally go I’m expecting the teal spaceman to storm to the front. Though it’s got some competition from the Blacktron dude, that might split things up a bit like when the brown spaceman and brown spacebaby duelled each other
classic space fans swarming in to vote for the slightly different colour of spaceman
Where’s Luffy?!?!
Despite having finished building 21358 this morning, my vote goes to Gwen Stacy. If this were a ranked choice poll, the teal spaceman would still be behind the Steampunk Inventor and the Pirate Quartermaster. He'd be ahead of every other Space/Star wars figure, though.

"...steampunk doesn't gets much love these days..."
I would kill (or at least maim) for a steampunk Lego theme. Ninjago's Skybound got close, but dieselpunk isn't quite what I want.
The choice this year seems quite poor.
Among the selection, I prefer wolfpack or pirate quartermaster. Or the steampunk inventor. I voted for the first one.
Clearly I like classic spaceman or blacktron minifig too, but they are nothing really new, so I can't vote them.
The Wolfpack beastmaster is another trauma... and even one I can't blame on TLG...

The issue, according to several LEGO set designers, is kids don't know what steampunk is these days which is why steampunk gets little love. It's rather sad!
It honestly was a toss up between Pirate Quartermaster, Spider-Punk, and Christmas Tree Guy.
The Wolfpack Beastmaster is another one I like, but I feel it's too much of a nostalgia rehash to compete to the other excellent choices. Same goes for the recoloured Space Man and Blacktron guy. And I say this as someone who loves Castle and Classic Space.
Quite a few great figures. I’m still hunting for a City AC to get the Christmas tree kid. There’s just so much to like bout Gingerbread Vader, and he’s a niche figure that is just really cool. General Kenobi was my runner up and he’s just such a perfect figure. I also really like the fresh take on the Blacktron figure. I hope to get that one soon. But, The Wolfpack Beastmaster, even without accessories, is just a perfect figure. Dual-molded arms, dual-molded arms, cloth (and sooo fuzzy!), and a superb head print?! That’s perfect, plus the fact that it’s a flawless rendition of a classic, 30 year old figure? And for $5? It’s just awesome!

I fully agree with this. I am willing to deal a significant amount of damage for a proper Steampunk-line.
I mean, I voted for Blacktron on principle, but still.

They don't need to refer to it as steampunk. Just make cool sets and people will buy them, and those that know will know. The same rationale goes for sets from Gerry Anderson programmes. Those ships had excellent designs, so it's cool ships for the young and nostalgia for the middle aged.
The Pirate Quartermaster is sooo awesome. I added her to the BSB and am looking at her right now in admiration. I nominated the Wolfpack Beastmaster but voted for the Pirate.
I'm a big fan of Steampunk as a creative genre but the thought of a gingerbread Darth Vader is just too great. Such a pity that he's plastic - biting his head off would be just too delicious...
I love the Lama Su and Obi-Wan minifigures, but the new Jango Fett is such a modern upgrade even compared to the 2017 variant
Has to be gingerbread Darth Vader
GHOST!
Oef! Wolfpack, jetpack, spiderpunk, Zerø and Blacktron!
All my nominations are here! This is gonna be a tough one…..
Nostalgia says Blacktron, coolfactor says jetpack and Zerø and the toughest quest to obtain a figure says wolfpack…
…BUT for a combination of cool and most detailed figure ( even an extra head where I can’t decide which one to put on the body, because both of them are awesome ) , I gotta go with Hobie
( also a big nod for Jango, but plain compared to the others and behind a huge pay wall for me )

I ain't afraid of no ghost...
Gotta go with Zero. When I first saw that figure I was blow away by how cool it looked.
Jetpack Racer for me but I do love Wolfpack and Blacktron.

I would like to see a Lego steampunk theme, too. Maybe a licensed theme of Netflix's "Arcane"?
Heh, I made my own list of my favorite figs from the year, and 5 of the 10 I picked from ended up in the poll. :D
Lots of good contenders, but of these I voted for the Steampunk Inventor.
how is this even a question? Hobie Brown's LEGO hair goes absolutely insane
Surprised glinda didn't make the list
Some truly awesome minifigures on the shortlist. It was tough to vote. I went for Zero.
Star Wars had it good this year. Between Obi-Wan, Jango, Lama Su, Gingerbread Vader; a lot of other good ones that didn't make the cut, too (Plo Koon, Babu Frik, etc.). I'm voting for Jango Fett.
Not nearly as keen on the Castle and Space figures as some others, so my vote went to Zero. Steampunk Inventor and Spider-Punk are close behind though.
