This is the tenth year I've done this feature. This past year was pretty good for the site. Traffic is actually way up. Not only did the lowest performing posts get way more views than the lowest from last year. But, there were actually so few that were low that I had to truncate the list a bit. Most of the items on it are more recent and haven't had the time age into their views like other pages. The Top 10 in January of 2027 will be more fun to parse through as a lot of posts have had highs. And, every week, some ancient post rockets to the top of the weekly rankings due to some unknown discussion that is inaccessible due to it being inside some walled garden.
So, here's the lowest viewed new posts of the past year. I'm curious to hear your opinions as to why in the comments.
Alado - 335 Views
Not a huge surprise. Crazylegs isn't a hugely popular figure. And, his Plastirama release from Argentina isn't all that interesting since it's pretty close to the Hasbro version.
1983 Clutch - 405 Views
This was kind of a surprise. Clutch is, usually, pretty popular. And, the photo below is my most liked photo on Instagram that I've posted in 2026. His profile didn't do well, though. It might have just been bad timing as it seems people still like Clutch.
2001 Wetdown - 385 Views
No real surprise, here. Wetdown is a character name no one remembers. He's, at his core, Torpedo. But, he lacks all of Torpedo's cachet due to the mundane code name. The fact that's pretty similar to Torpedo is another blow against him.
2024 Sgt. Slaughter - 399 Views
This one is baffling. The 2024 Sgt. Slaughter is one of the most popular figures released in the 2020's. He was somewhat new when I wrote about him. But, no one bothered to check him out. Maybe he's a bit overexposed. But, this figure is what every Pulse era o-ring should have been: a substantial upgrade that was still true to the original. It's sucks that Hasbro only figured it out at the very end.
Funskool Mainframe - 250 Views
Yeah, this one makes sense, too. Mainframe isn't all that popular. And, an obscure foreign variant whose only main difference is a grey radio receiver isn't much to get people excited. And, he was the worst performer of the year.
So, check these out and get those numbers up!
