(Image Source) Daima is the latest entry into the Dragon Ball universe offering a fun adventure taking place immediately after the end of the Buu saga. As it is the most current series it has seen a lot of love from Tamashii Nation's S.H.Figuarts line with many figures already released and many more revealed for the future. It expanded the world with new lore, new characters, and new villains, and with it at the height of popularity now this list is my top 5 most wanted figures from Tamashii Nations! 5. Releasing all the figures already shown (Images Source) Dragon Ball does have a track record of showing off figures that never actually see the light of day, and I'm hoping that isn't the case with all of the Daima figures that have been shown off at conventions. Glorio, Panzy, and kid Kai have been seen several times and are desperately needed to finish off the core adventuring group of the series, and very recently we saw a litany of reveals including the magnificent Kuu a...

(Images Source) Liokaiser ended its run with astounding success as Transformers' latest Haslab crowdfunding project from Hasbro. This great team of combiners is the latest set to be featured out of the Victory cartoon which has enjoyed a very hefty share of representation in the line to this point. Almost every Transformers Haslab has been taking from Victory with Star Saber and Deathsaurus being back to back, and both of them coming with the total four members of the Rescue Force. Beyond that, Galaxy Shuttle got a mid leader class release (using the Astrotrain mold, so not at all accurate to his onscreen appearance), the Dinoforce were released a set using the core class Dinobot molds (which were obviously going to be used for Goryu and the Dinoforce in the end), and I'd say the Black Shadow we got years ago holds up pretty well. With Victory being the Transformers Japanese Anime closest to completing its cast of characters, this is my top 5 most wanted figures next from Hasbr...

There were some amazing designs and characters introduced in these movies, and the hype is certainly real for these characters especially as we saw how excited fans were for Turles. This list compiles my top five most wanted Dragon Ball Z film figures! 5. Cooler's Armored Squadron The Cooler movies have enjoyed two really well done offerings from Tamashii at this point with their final form Cooler and the Metal Cooler from the sequel. The perfect way to continue to build out these movies' roster would be with the Armored Squadront hat flanked him similar to Frieza's Ginyu force. All three had great alien designs, Neiz being easily my favorite with his...

With the conclusion of Dragon Ball I have seen the quintessential fight anime. While very light on actual plot, the spectacle of world shaking battles never lightened up as we were treated to one destructive event after another in an escalating series of arcs. From Frieza to Cell to Buu the anime world was treated to iconic villains with equally iconic transformations for the heroes. Tamashii Nations has made Dragon Ball Z the bread and butter of their S.H.Figuarts line and the Frieza Saga in particular has enjoyed a heaping helping of action figure support over the past few years. Despite the high output of figures every year there are still dozens of characters, transformations, and outfits still yearning to be made in the line and in this list I'll count down my top 5 most wanted Dragon Ball Z action figures! Honorable mentions: Kid Buu and Future Gohan Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely love an official Kid Buu figure from S.H.Figuarts and I feel it is one of the most g...

The Summit War saga for One Piece was an absolutely insane stretch of connected arcs and storylines that truly paid off 500 episodes of story building, world building, and character development. Enies Lobby is still my favorite overall One Piece arc at this point in the show, but Marineford and the Summit War saga have joined it as some of my all time favorite anime arcs of all time. There are so many epic scenes, insane fight sequences, emotional moments, and outstanding characters introduced or returning that narrowing it down into a top 5 for my most wanted figures from S.H.Figuarts from this saga was tough. I have done so, and with the time skip on the horizon for me, let's take a look back at the insane arc that literally changed the world of One Piece and what figures from Tamashii Nations are an absolute must for their line.  Honorable mention: Magellan Starting off with an honorable mention, I wanted to like Magellan a lot more than I did. Impel Down was such a cool setting...

(Banner Image Source)   (Following Images Source) The B.A.T.S. have been a constant in the GI Joe Classified line since the near beginning and every time they've been released in new variants or colors it has been a delight as one of the best molds in the line! The robotic warriors are some of the funnest army builders for the 6 inch scale line with plenty of diversity when it comes to accessories and weapon/battle damaged options. With the Retro BAT being the most recent reveal for this sub-collection in the line, I've picked out my top 5 most wanted BAT variants going forward.  5. Overkill Sporting a unique name and an even more unique design, Overkill would be a welcome addition to the BAT battalion as a stand out unit whose figure would be one of the most diverse in the line so far. With plenty of color, a clear chest window, and a zany weapon array, Overkill would be a wild addition to the military line up. 4. Nano Easily achievable using pieces that already exist in the ...
