Ooooooh! This is relevant to my interests! I really hope someone makes an easy reference translated list!

Google translate provides a workable translation you can use to navigate the options. The top buttons seem to be in the order the ANN article indicates (nedroid, figma, scale, personal submission), so select your options and click the button on the bottom left of the screen when you are ready to submit. It will then bring you to the current results of the poll. I hope Kino's model gets a reprint.... fingers crossed.

Everyone vote for the scaled Yuri and Tenshi Angel Beats figures!

I wish they would've provided pictures. I tried using a date search on MFC, but the list there is a lot smaller than what they have, so I can't see everything.

Their site, http://www.goodsmile.info/top/en/, has a comprehensive list. However, while the article, and even the voting site, says that Goodsmile is looking to resell models from the last year, not all of the models that one can vote for would be in the 2011 archive. The Kino model was sold back in 2008, for example. http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/406/Kino.html. Be prepared to have to dig a bit through their back-catalog.

That's good news to me, then, since that means I can also vote for Alphard and Canaan!

I concur with this. I was massively disappointed when I let them slip through my fingers, and I wish to make amends for my mistake!

I wouldn't mind seeing Yuri and Tenshi from Angel Beats! be re-released even though I already have them, but I would absolutely love to see Yui. The demand for her is so high that in Japan it's actually easier to find either of Good Smile's Angel Beats! figures than it is to find FuRyu's inexpensive Yui prize figure.(granted it's a limited prize figure, but the rest of the Angel Beats prize figures are fairly common despite having similar runs) I'd like an Iwasawa scale figure, too. She's sadly overshadowed by everyone else, despite being one of the most interesting characters in the series, IMO.

Alright, got my picks.

Scaled:
Eri Sawachika
Alphard
Canaan
Tenshi
Yuri

Figma:
Saber Alter
Saber Armor
Yomi
Kagura
San

Nendoroid:
Super Movable Saber
Nagi
Zange


Too bad only two of them (Nagi and Zange nendos) are on the top 20 lists. Also, hasn't Saber Lily already been rereleased, like, twice already? Seeing it at the top of scaled list is a little annoying.

Somehow, it never occurred to me that all the scaled Black Rock Shooter figures were done by Good Smile. I wouldn't mind seeing the original BRS get a re-release. I'd also forgotten that Luca and Cloche from Ar Tonelico 2 got the Good Smile treatment as well. Those are a couple of my holy grail figures, and they don't seem to show up on Mandarake very often. Alas, the otaku's memory is short and I don't see either of them making the cut.

It might be an effort in vain, but you can vote for the Makoto figure you were talking about in the other thread. There are several Max Factory and FREEing figures on the list, actually.

I suspect it's a lost cause. Looking at the top vote getters on their site, most of the votes (at least for scaled items) seem to be going to recent properties and super-popular franchises (K-On!, Haruhi, Fate/anything). I suspect there's not going to be much clamoring for characters from a show from 5 years ago.

I also thought about nominating Petrushka from Gunslinger Girl for the 'personal submission', but I figured that will never, ever happen. I would literally die of surprise.

This. I am finally planning on starting collecting figures, and I need these.

I would also really like for them to rerelease quite a few nendoroids; Kirino, Yoko, Erio and a few others come to mind.

I'm pleasantly surprised that the first two that came to mind are on the list,
http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/406/Kino.html
http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/377/Bridget.html

I'll sift through the Google Translate page later, to remind myself of three more.

I'm going to have to do this tomorrow. Right off the bat...

Aria!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell yes! I missed out on the first go around and I'd love to get Alicia!

I love it when GSC does this.

Now, if only Alter would take a cue...
