I definitely agree with the dollar store Officer... and any of the DG figures. They were a breath of fresh air in an otherwise dreadful year for Joes.
In MOTU, I skipped Fisto and most of the other figures this year, but I think the Griffin would get my vote.
For MU, I'd have to vote for Kraven and Beast, and the SDCC ML X-Force 3-pack is sweet.
Eddie's right, Hercules (aka Not Devastator) is pretty awesome, and MP-12 Lambor is one of my dreams come true.
