If you could only take 10 figures with you....

[Hector]

Let's say it's 2012, and the world is ending soon.
Y'all know that, right?
The human race is evacuating to Mars. Through some mysterious coincidence, Gorn Captain leads the first ship out to Mars, and decides that toy collectors are the chosen few who must certainly make it out safe and sound, to continue the human race. Laywers, the British Royal family and anyone involved in unneccesary remakes of classic films happen to come at the very end of the line. They probably won't make it. Last in line are white supremacists, who will finally have the Earth to themselves, even if it's five minutes before it blows up.

Now, I've managed to make a deal, and all of you can take 10 figures with you. There's not enough room in the rocket, so that's the best I can do. I've already flushed out Paris Hilton in a "freak" airlock accident (FAA). Her last words before being incinerated by the blast engines were "that's so hot!!!".

So here's the deal: pick your TEN favourite figures.
Which ones will it be, and why?
Remember, expensive figures won't get you anywhere on Mars. The only currency exchange rate will be "one big rock is worth three small ones", and there won't be a "Mars-Bay" to sell them on.
And Martian hookers won't care about your MOC AFA Mego Iron Man at all. They'll just be interested in oxygen tanks and sucking your air hose.
Wait, that didn't sound right....

So what would it be?
I'll think about my ten favourites and let you know....

That is one hilarious post...lol...

1-Childhood Spider-man

2-Friend's childhood Shazam

3 & 4-Boxed Iron Man: Because of the memories of my monm buying this exact thing for me when I was a child at a flea market. I count the box and Iron man both to
alieviate any space concerns.

5-McCoy with childhood head/outfit

6-Green Gobin: Spidey needs his foe

7-Batman

8-10: I'm hoping because they are smaller; Kenner Luke, R2, Han & Vader will get by. Again childhood figures.

In my shorts I'm stuffing Chewie, C3PO, Leia, Ben Kenobi & a Stormtrooper.

If my reasoning doesn't fly and I'm forced to drop two Batman & McCoy get cut.

"Is that a Chewie in your shorts, or are you just happy to see me?"


Seriously.
I was just going over my own figures, and it's SO hard to pick just ten.
It really gave me an idea of which ones were truly important to me, and which ones are just gathering dust, and a whole bunch in between.
At the end of this thread, we'll maybe find out which figures are apparently so cool, they would survive the end of the world!
I love reading your lists...

Just shove that plush in your shirt.
If you say to Martian Customs that it's your chest hair, I think you could pick another figure for your list.
