I've loved how much focus the Decepticons have gotten in the Studio Series line from Hasbro, especially as they have some of the coolest designs for Transformers in my opinion! The pool of possible Decepticons in the line grew when the original 1986 G1 film was added to the line, and since then we've gotten big wants of mine like the 1986 Blitzwing and a start to the G1 Insecticons with Kickback, albeit both of those are coming via the Legacy line. From Bayverse we got the now iconic design of the Bumblebee movie Soundwave, along with the recently revealed Sideways who looks fantastic! (Image Source) Honorable Mention: Frenzy Beginning with an honorable mention will be the final primary Decepticon character from the 2007 film that hasn't been captured in any way by the line! Frenzy was absent when he could have come with Barricade, and then again when he could have been packed with the 2007 Megatron, and at this point I'm not sure when or if we will end up getting a new...

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! (Image Source) 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! (Image Source) 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 re...

We've gotten the two most obvious designs from the show already in Marvel Legends, but there's still quite a few more to be made, including some surprises from the final few episodes! SPOILERS (Image Source) 5. Layla/Scarlet Scarab While Layla's outfit having wings doesn't seem to fit with her being the avatar of a Hippo God, it was still an epic looking costume overall and the shining gold armor really helped to make it pop! Her taking the place of the MCU's first Egyptian superhero is pretty exciting as well, and whether or not the show was all a figment of Marc's broken mind or not, I hope to see more of this costume going forward! (Image Source) 4. Taweret There's a few characters from the show who from a design stand point would just make for great toys, and one of them is the God Taweret! While her timid personality was played more for laughs, the physique and design of this deity as a Hippo really stands out and I could see her as a perfect Build a Fi...

A very underrated series that I don't hear enough people talk about! Both the New 52 and Rebirth era gave us entertaining storylines for one of the biggest bat characters not in Mcfarlane's line so far! (Image Source) 5. Q-Ball This character's presence in the comics was extremely limited and to the point that I'm certain Mcfarlane will never actually make this character in the toyline! I bet most people would probably think you were lying if you said DC Comics' had a character named "Q-Ball" who leads the "Pool Hall Gang." Despite their short lived appearances in the comics I greatly enjoyed their inclusion, and who knows, as simple of their designs were maybe I'll custom together my own Pool Hall Gang! (Image Source) 4. Flamebird Batwoman's own sidekick was a character that I felt really helped balance out Kane, and who had plenty of great moments of her own! Her near death at the hands of the Hook was gruesome and unexpected, and she...

With Transformers Legacy's toyline this year we are getting figures based on a lot of different shows and media all across the Transformers franchise! Of course there are still lots of G1 figures, but we're also getting more Beast Wars, Cybertron, some G2, along with Prime characters! The twist for the Prime figures in particular though are that they've been G1-ified. While I would have preferred fully faithful new figures based on the Prime designs, I do recognize that a lot of those original Prime figures were near perfect and this is a neat idea they're going with for now. So with Arcee, Bulkhead, and Knockout all introduced into the Legacy line so far and Prime characters seemingly being a mainstay for the concept, here are my next top 5 most wanted updated Prime characters! (Image 1 Source)   (Image 2 Source) 5. Skyquake and Dreadwing The traditional G1 Seeker designs have gotten a heaping heck of a lot of love from the War for Cybertron line, and the Studio Series...

(Image Source) 5. Mr Terrible and Ms Terrific I was very pleasantly surprised with how much of a multi-versal story The Terrifics turned out to be! A prime example of that storyline comes through with my first slot on the list! Bizarro's team of Terribles were a really fun batch of characters in a zany and entertaining storyline, with Mr Terrible being one of the best designs from the group! His T-shaped head would be very unique in the toyline! Another variant of Mr. Terrific from out in the multiverse was Ms Terrific, Paula, who in her universe became Ms Terrific after her Michael died. She was a really compelling character to see on the team especially in concerns to her interactions with Michael himself.  (Image 1 Source)   (Image 2 Source) 4. Tom Strong This was a character I had no background knowledge about before reading The Terrifics; however, I can safely say now that this character's original comic series is now on my to-read list because I enjoyed his presence and ...

The Rebirth Damien Wayne has been a great start to the team, but this extremely fun series has several more characters I'd love to see Mcfarlane tap upon for this figure line! (Image Source) 5. Crush A newer character introduced into the DC Comics world but one that has definitely been smashing her way into the lore. Introduced as the secret daughter of Lobo, Crush carries with her all the expected anger and flair that her species has been known for! She was a welcome addition to the team after their soft reboot in the series, with her eventual showdown with Lobo one that had been a long time coming! The character even got her own limited series as of last year! (Image Source) 4. Roundhouse Another character added to Robin's Teen Titans team after the No Justice event was Roundhouse, a newer superhero who was still learning how to use his powers, and function in social settings! His friendship with Kid Flash was one of the anchoring points of the comic, and the twist that he wa...
