Most wanted Star Wars: A New Hope Black Series figures vol 2

A list of characters from the original Star Wars movie that needs to be made into figures for the Black Series line continues to shrink, and with Wedge, Ceremony Luke, and the Cantina Band now a full fledged reality in 6 inch form I'm bringing to the table 5 more of my most wanted figures from the movie that started it all!



5. Admiral Motti




This is easily the the figure that would take the least effort from Hasbro to put out, and with them having released so many other Imperial officers over the past couple of years I'm almost surprised that this guy hasn't made the cut! Motti is infamous for being the Imperial Officer Vader chokes out, and we've got plenty of Vader in the line, now we need someone for him to Force choke!







4. Death Star Gunner





We have a lot of Imperial uniform sculpts that could be re-used for this character, but it is the headsculpt that would really pull it all together in the end. That oblong, sleek helmet is instantly recognizable as a Death Star stable, and I wouldn't mind another army builder that isn't a clone or a stormtrooper!






3. Death Star Droid





Keeping in the Death Star for another slot on the list, the Black Series seems to be giving love to droids a lot more lately than in the past which I am all for! Droids are one of the staples for the franchise in my eyes and I'll always take more of them, especially when they're bug eyed and freaky looking! They could even pack it with a Mouse Droid to get that sculpt back into the line again!








2. Hammerhead (and other cantina patrons)
Slowly but surely we are working towards putting together a nice little cantina display. We got Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazen, and now the entirety of the Bith band that jazzes the place up! What comes next has to be a lot of those random patrons, many of whom were my favorites as a kid! The Hammerhead alien was my personal pick from the whole lot, and the one whose 3.75 inch figure found its way into a lot of my childhood imaginary Star Wars adventures!


1. Garindan spy



Another alien to add to the collection would have to be the Garindan spy! The one responsible for ratting out the presence of Luke and the others to the Imperials in Mos Eisley, this character had a significant, though short, role in the story which is more than can be said for a lot of the other cool looking aliens who have been made in the line already. With his bug-like snoot and dark cloak I wouldn't hesitate one bit putting down my money for this guy!

Top 5 most wanted Star Wars the Black Series aliens from The Phantom Menace

The prequel love is very strong recently in Star Wars the Black Series, the line of 6 inch collection figures covering the Star Wars franchise. It felt like, as a prequel fan, that I was gasping for prequel figures in the collection not only a year ago but now we've had a flood of them, with another flood quickly coming! It's gotten me more excited for the line than I've been in a long time, and I've been thinking about some choice prequel characters I'd like to see! Aliens are getting a bit of a resurgence in the line as well, with prequel Jedi, Moloch, Rio, and a few others, so what better list to make than my most wanted aliens from the prequels? For this post I'm focusing in on Phantom Menace which had a great selection of aliens! And here are my top 5!

Top 5 most wanted NECA Back to the Future figures

NECA gave us a huge surprise this year with the reveal of a full range of action figures for the Back to the Future franchise! This is definitely one of the most popular franchises out there and I didn't know that I needed action figures for it until now! So far we've had a couple of reveals in the form of Marty from the first movie, Marty in the second movie, Marty in his spaceman costume, and then Biff from the first movie. The movies don't have the biggest cast that are ideal for action figure treatment, but I've thought up five from the three movies that need to come into the line after these four!

Top 5 most wanted Jakks Pacific Sonic Badniks vol 2

Image
(Images Source) We have been getting more and more robotic Badniks in Jakks Pacific's line of Sonic figures which is very exciting! Primary characters are great, but getting more of the background designs to fill out the scenes is awesome and we've recently got some Badniks I was eagerly waiting for like the Burrobot, Newtron, and most recently the Caterkiller!! Eggman's army is packed to the brim though with all kinds of robotic enemies, and these are five more I hope to eventually see! 5. Jaws The Chopper is not the most posable of the Badniks that we've gotten so far (not that many are very posable to begin with), but it is such a classic design from the series and another underwater enemy would be the Jaws. With Jakks Pacific steadily working through giving us little playsets themed around different levels, a set themed around the underwater sequences would be the perfect way to get this guy into the line. 4. Roller With complete transparency, I will admit that thes
