It wasn't going to be. In the past, very few statues get released in December. This year, it seems that several companies had many great releases in December...so, since we were already running behind, there was time to make the adjustment. Going forward, we'll likely stick with a mid to late December cutoff.

I agree with you 100% that XM Mysterio, XM Black Bolt and XM Daredevil are better but this isn't' a XM only awards it's only fair that a company get a maximum of three statues in each category.

XM is my favourite but many collectors still haven't seen a XM piece in the flesh so it's only fair for a company like Sideshow to have Red Sonja, Captain Marvel and Spider - Man which are also extremely high quality statues

This is so rigged. Both my comments about GR making it to this years list got deleted on two other threads.

Seems like the window was extended to include Ghostrider. Rules 'were' rules.
People creating this award are decided what they want to win by bending the window rule. Instead of the 1st of Dec 2015 to the 30th Nov 2016 they extended it till the 25th Dec.

Even if other statues were coming out later on, it shouldnt matter. Rules are rules. Statues come out every month and like Bmutha once stated there is always next year but im guessing they couldnt resist.

seems biased, jibbed and rigged.

I made my mind earlier that Darkness should win SOTY, but since I got XM Batman Samurai in hand, I voted for Bats. The theme and challenge XM did for this is just amazing, its fits Batman perfectly, and the final product came out beautifully done. This a 9.8/10 and definitive Batman for me in my opinion, and I wasn't interested in anything Bats related. I wouldn't even want to trade the Darkness or Ghostrider with Bats, not even Magneto.

Go run your own forum and award polls.

Extending the deadline also allowed SS's red sonja and Captain Marvel to be included so I don't get the -----ing.

Bmutha just explained why the rules were changed this year. People have been complaining non-stop about December releases not being included, and now that they changed it to include December releases people are now complaining about that? Captain Marvel is easily one of Sideshows best releases this year and she was a December release. So this change means Sideshow have benefited equally as she has also been included. It never made sense that a "Statue of the Year" award didn't include releases from the whole year. I'm glad it's been changed for good.

Yes, clearly we want Ghost Rider to win this year instead of next year, so we make stuff up as we go...

Did you read the FAQ post? I assume not, since we address it there.

The last two years, December has been a dead zone for releases, so we could safely cut off at end of November to prepare. This year, there was an overwhelming number of December releases (and great ones by many companies), it didn't make sense not to include them and likely only create confusion.
