Was this held in a freezer or something? How cold can it be in Kentucky in April indoors? :???:

Still don't see how Cosmos is underrated having two new recent figures. Inferno was robbed!

Glad to see Primal made it in for the anniversary. I was hoping it would be tarantulas or inferno with Galvatron but oh well. Weird Al was my choice even though Lion or Steve Jablonsky probably deserved it more.

The Hall of Fame ceremony was held outside on 4th Street. Yes, it is super cold here in Kentucky. No, this is not normal.

I was at the HOF and the concert. It was definitely brisk there outside, althro there was a permanent cover over the concert area. No seats, but I had a rollator so no problems there, except most of my pictures were too far away to be of much good.

Interesting how it's the one who predominantly does voice work which has the leading man good looks.

I feel it was Tarantulas who should have gotten it... Which makes me think that having them both on the ballot divided the vote and let Cosmos sneak in and run off with it.

I note that nobody is complaining about Weird Al. It's because Weird Al is the bomb. Easiest choice ever.

But Tarantulas got a bunch of figures in the BW days and has had two back-to-back figures from the club, how is that underrated? Inferno only ever got one figure (and a custom class figure, but I don't count those) despite being a regular on the show.

Weird Al got my pick so no complaint here. Not just because he was on the original movie soundtrack, but he also got bonus points for actually voicing a character, too.

We just got a new toy not too long ago. And the mold is still being used this year. This poll is just for fun and not indicative of anything. We already know all the rumours for upcoming TR characters anyway and Cosmos isnt there.
