Hasbro Star Wars Fan Figure Vote: Doctor Aphra Wins!
The vote has concluded on the official Site and the results are in. There was some stiff completion across the entire spectrum of Star Wars fandom for this year’s contest, but Doctor Aphra has won the day and will be receiving her very own Vintage Series figure.
Doctor Aphra was an early favorite for the contest and her fans didn’t disappoint. She has become a very popular character in her brief time in the new canon, and adds representation from the new line of Marvel comics to the figure collection world. Aphra creator Kieron Gillen spoke with the official site about the figure.
“I’m of a generation that some of my earliest memories are of Star Wars figures and the magic herein,” Doctor Aphra creator and series writer Kieron Gillen tells StarWars.com. “The idea that someone Salva [Larroca] and I made up is going to be one of those, immortal in plastic, feels all kind of magical.”
The official site also mentions that Ahsoka (Rebels version) came in second in the vote. So, all you Ahsoka fans can hold out hope for next year.
Head over to the official site for details.
I read this thinking Aphra was getting a six inch figure. http://i.amz.mshcdn.com/FCP-M5EriZwBy9jJnZnVh7Liuak=/fit-in/1200×9600/http%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F06%2FJack-Nicholson.gif Wonder why they changed it to the smaller scale.
Will you throw a smaller chair once you realize that she’ll be a 3.75″ figure?
Throwing the gif chair in the first place was for her being a 3.75 figure. Entire point of my comment.
doctor aphra?? more like doctor craphra… Jix was 100 times better
You win for the most hackneyed, cliche gripe of the day. Congratulations on your lack of wit.
Not to mention you didn’t even spell the Jax’s name correctly.

Kids if you want to reenact her scenes from the comics, you can just leave her in the box. Just play with a couple of droids, while she sits there and does nothing.
blahhh
Awful: A ‘hot Asian’ cosplay stereotype, written by an old white dude; only thing missing is the short schoolgirl skirt…pass
Agree but for the ‘old white dude’, simply because he’s younger than me.
Me too – Oh, look, somebody got all PC & deleted my post…seriously?
I would like her better if she had a short schoolgirl skirt.
I wanted Yak Face or the Emperor 🙁
I find the the comment’s lack of gracefulness disturbing.
Awesome! Dos anyone know when this figure will be released?
YAYY!!
