I think it’s Prune Face for me (aliens, amiright? 
) but Mon Mothma would be a brilliant addition.

I'm thinking Barada maybe ?

Prune Face for me although I cannot vote because I did not renew the membership.
Ah so you have to be a current member to vote? Personally I probably won’t renew unless it’s Barada
I wouldn’t buy a single one of these. Disappointing choices

Got you covered. I have no interest in any of these busts but I voted Pruneface.
Well this sucks. I 100% want all four of those. I think I'm voting Prune Face, Mon Mothma would be my second... Maybe I'll vote for her since she's probably going to get the least support and I'd like them to consider making her later anyway.
If I were a Guild member I'd probably vote for the AT-ST driver but I'm honestly underwhelmed by these choices.
I'll agree that it's an uninspiring lot, but I always liked the Kenner Orrimaarko "Prune Face" figure when I was a kid, so I'll probably cast my vote that way. Still don't think any of these would bring me back to the Guild next year.
I'd probably buy all 4 if they were good quality.
Voted for Prune face as I liked the Kenner figure as a kid.

I agree with Dr. Jedi. This may be the first year I do not renew my membership.
For me all are good candidates from the OT, in fact, OT have a lot of characters done and if Gentle Giant wants to continue deep on the OT it's need it to explore the Obscure characters.
I would like that they go deep in prequels and also sequels too.
Saying that, after the last human sculpts Mon Mothma is completely discarded, AT-ST Driver it' s interesting and would have less problems with his human sculpt face.
But for me the best choices are Prune Face and Barada.
I voted for Barada because it would be a good complement for the last year PGM winner, the Weequay as a Jabba's Sail Barge colleague!
Note: I still remember the last year not winners Nute Gunray and Geonosian warrior, hope to see them done in the future because both got a positive feedback from a lot of collectors.

Although I'd have preferred a different character to be part of the ROTJ choices like Ephant Mon, I'm going to disagree with some of you as far as calling these uninspiring. I actually find them to be interesting choices. The AT-AT driver could look great as a companion piece next to an AT-ST model like Code 3's and it is a military that should have been made years ago. Mon Mothma is a character I've seen mentioned a few times as one of the females from the OT deserving of a mini bust. Background characters like Prune Face and Barada I think bring more to a display because of how peculiarly they look, than the regular human characters which we know GG fail for the most part to do a good likeness. But all of us have our own preferences of course. I voted for Prune Face. I still have the action figure, and should I've been given a chance for a second choice, I would have chosen Barada. I actually feel all of them deserve a mini bust.

isnt 2023 the 40th of ROTj, which is why they are all from that movie? Mon Mothma is my vote, as she is the most important character out of the 4.
Barada for me. He was one of my favorite figures back in the day. Prime face is cool and I’d love Mon Mothma… but GG has not been doing too hot with human likenesses. /:
Bummed to not see any prequel options!

Barada for me too, Tough choice against Prune Face. Would have loved Mon Mothma, but like others I just don't trust their human faces right now. And as much as it'd love the AT-AT Driver, that pose just looks weird. But like others I'd be up for all four of them if they were well made.
The pose for the AT-AT driver is a little weird, sort of unnatural.
Reminds me of Spaceballs
Going by what people are commenting, it looks like Prune Face and Barada are running neck to neck, while the AT-AT driver and Mon Mothma, despite being welcoming pieces if they were made, are staying behind. I'm going to say either Barada or Prune Face will win the member choice vote. There's also the possibility GG/DST would be willing to do as they did with Ashoka and Amanaman in 2018, when GG surprised us all adding Amanaman as part of the gifts because of how close the votes for him were to Ahsoka's. If that was to happen again, we could be seeing Barada and Prune Face as 2022-23 gifts. But, what do I know.

When the results are posted, I will be the ONE who voted for the AT-ST Driver!
***Disclaimer*** I do not really believe that I will be the only one who votes for the AT-ST Driver.

Well, all the PGM 2018 candidates were finally done (Amanaman, Ahsoka, Dooku, Dr Aphra, Ponda Baba), the candidates of 2019 were Ponda Baba, Blue Snageltooth, Labria and Duros, all already done too (Duros prototype was shown in Star Wars celebration it's the only didn't announced yet).
Now it's turn to the PGM candidates of 2020, 2021... I think that if Gentle Giant see that the art concept is well received, they are going to make the bust after 2-3 years after the poll. I hope that this line continues and we get the old PGM candidates like Nute Gunray, Geonosian Warrior, Dr Evazan, Malikili, Nikto...
We will see... but I'm sure and I hope that some of them will be done.

I voted for Pruneface mainly because of the memories I had of the old Hasbro figure I used to own.

I tell you one thing, folks. Out of the four choices, I'll be happy with any one that gets chosen other than Mon Mothma, although I'd like to have the character added to the collection. The way DST is approaching human likeness, if this lady gets chosen, I have a feeling she'll end up looking more like Bea Arthur in Golden Girls than the actual Mon Mothma character. Also the pose on the AT-ST driver would need to be improved if he ends up being the winner. He is leaning forward too much.

I’d buy all 4 instantly if they were to be made. GG needs to start working in more OT and PT characters. Nothing against the animated series and the live action series(I collect all of their SW mini busts) but they need to balance it out.

I'd buy a Bea Arthur Golden Girls mini-bust. Hopefully she comes with a blaster.
Right! Imagine all four of them as Stormtroopers, despite Sophia being a little short to be one. LOL

I voted Barada
It looks like in some Facebook pages people are voting heavily for Mon Mothma. This I don't understand considering how awful GG/DST are with human faces. Oh well, you get what you deserve.

I'm in the minority. I voted for AT-ST driver.
I vote for people to stop saying 'free gift'. All gifts are free, it's the definition of the word 'gift'. If it wasn't free, it wouldn't be a 'gift'.
It's 'Gift with purchase', 'Membership Gift', 'Free Item', and the such.

I generally only join the PGM if I want the bust that comes with it. So, based on this selection, I won't be renewing. Unless one if the other gifts is the Ki-Adi-Mundi or Saesee Tiin mini bust I've been waiting for them to do for the past 20 years! I did vote for Barada so that we hopefully get the option of Klaatu next year.
I mean, it's not a gift OR free, since we are literally paying for it with our membership fees.
So many things these days are called what they shouldn't, but they are the epithets the powers that be have given them despite knowing they aren't what they should be called. GG called them Gifts and most people identify with these specific collectibles that way. But, I propose to write or or say this instead so no one feels uncomfortable when they read the words PGM Gift:
Example #1: Non gifted collectible said to be a gift obtained only through the purchase of a PGM
Example #2: Item that can be obtained without paying extra for it (other than shipping) once you have purchased a Premier Guild Membership
Some examples in a dialogue:
You: Hey Pedro! I hope that Ephant Mon becomes the Item that can be obtained without paying extra for it (other than shipping) once you have purchased a Premier Guild Membership in 2023
Pedro: Yes, Axton! I hope that Ephant Mon becomes the Item that can be obtained without paying extra for it (other than shipping) once you have purchased a Premier Guild Membership in 2023
You: Excuse me Clemmie, when did GG start offering the non gifted collectible said to be a gift obtained only through the purchase of a PGM?
Chuck: Well, Lowen, I'm not sure when GG started offering the non gifted collectible said to be a gift obtained only through the purchase of a PGM
I know they are a little long but, if they make one happy they can't be that bad.
