Fair enough for me, where do You think he should be?
 
Hummm... sure where You think It should be?

IDK, don't feel that is that good, is just a dude with blond wings and eyes coverd, I may be wrong trough
Now see, here's the tricky part. The best way to determine if a design is Iconic is by looking only at the silhouette. Popularity tends to skew things, for example Fnaf is more popular than Yakuza. But if you only take the Sillouette of W. Bonny, you'd see it just normally looks like any other rabbit animatronic. Ichiban's pose not only shows his distinct personality, but his silhouette is quite noticeable as well thanks to the hair. I'd say it can go above Phobos, maybe even Catra.

... Disagree, Bonnie looks very distinct and the first desing is probable one of the best character desing for a horror game hitting perfectly into the uncanny, shows his calm and agressive personality and has a lot of character from just still images of him on the cameras, and them we have his withered apearance that is just great overall into making the desing extremely iconic

I think I can put him into the 10 place, mostly beacuse I don't see much on him that diferenciate of other Yakuza character in the grand scale of things, but I can adimit that may be just personal opnion of my part, but IDC the list is mine lol
Its not a fan art
I see, still hold my opnion of not enough for the list

the only problem with fnaf silhouettes is when you compare them to other fnaf animatronics (this is mostly due to AR making 20 billion variants of the same animatronic, or the animatronic literally having 20 billion different variants [looking at you, william]).

if you look at their silhouette outside of the other characters, especially the fnaf 1 characters have very specific poses and character builds which make them very noticeable from a silhouette
 
Also, gonna pull Director Phobos some spots down, even if the official art is amazing his actually desing in the show and games is just okay, sorry comiphorus

Goddammit William

That's fair it seems. But I'd say looking within the verse itself is quite important too.

Say for Ichiban, he's much more loose than tense, more wild than calm like Kiryu's portrait would display. Ichiban stands out heavily compared to other characters in Yakuza.

I'd say 10 is way too low, 7 at least

honestly, even looking inside the verse, Bonnie himself isn't too bad when it comes to that. the worst offender of that is Freddy. you couldn't pick out Fnaf 2 freddy out of his variants. At least bonnie is fairly different in all his things where you can tell the difference between fnaf 1, 2, and 4's versions.

If it were up to me, Springtrap should take Bonnie's place. Springtrap is the pinnacle of horror game designed characters.

Well it is Five Night at FREDDIES, sorta makes sense he has so many similar models

Oh yeah, that's true.
 
I mean, I wouldn't say his desing is better then ENA,
A quite simplistic design, too simple, to where if you took the silhouette you wouldn't exactly know who it is
furry bowser
Who's only appears in one game and a spinoff. Browsers normal design should be included instead, and a lot higher.
nor the beta Dracula lol... Maybe I should remove beta dracula sinse is quite cheating
Why you include him

I wouldn't recoonize the Yakuza guy neither, but I guess It's a fair point

Apearing in one single game don't make the desing worst lol, and meh, I feel like bowser is iconic but It's color scheme isn't that good, Fury bowser fix most of that problem and makes what is good on his desing better, but I guess You are right about he should be higher

Also, sinse I removed beta dracula There is one empty spot

What spot do You think she deserves?
 
AR William was the exception to that, as he's confirmed to be the original William Afton through emails.
... This is so dumb, but okay, fair enough
W for The Lich
That bro is one of the best desings I ever saw on fiction, It tell exactly what he is and what he does, so iconic that 90% of litch fanart use that desing even trough It is one of the last used desings for litch in the show, etc etc
Could the TF2 mercs get a spot?
They do have very ichonic desings to the point of beingh used in character desing studies on how to make a "generic human" character distinct... where should they be? and witch one deserves the highlight? or should they be keept together?
 
I wouldn't recoonize the Yakuza guy neither, but I guess It's a fair point
Yeah but Yakuza has been gaining massive popularity as of late

It's not about good or bad, but how iconic. Appearing in less media can tank that. And, no Bowser is iconic. Show anyone him and they'll get it. Like, Superman or Batman need number 1, even if you don't know them, by design you can know who they are

... the list isn't about beingh iconic is about beingh good... I guess kirby shouldn't be here them? but his desing is perfect for what he is... I will need to put some trough on It]

also, If was about iconic we would have among us there for just how reconizable It is, iconic can be artificially inflated trough media spreeding
