Most wanted Naruto S.H.Figuarts alternate designs for characters

Image
The S.H.Figuarts Naruto line from Tamashii Nations is absolutely thriving and I love to see it! The offerings in this rebooted line have been splendid and every release has been a banger. The future is looking bright as well, with Pain on the way followed by Shikamaru, and a recent tease for a Tsunade figure! As it stands, we've already gotten variations on characters in the line with multiple Narutos checked off as well as the kid version of Sasuke following the Shippuden depiction. Almost every character in the franchise as an alternate costume or design they go through, and this list will be counting out my most wanted alternate designs for characters we already have in the Figuarts Naruto line! Honorable mention: Naruto (Six Paths) We're already up to our fourth distinct Naruto design in the line, and there's still plenty more to choose from to continue pumping out the main character for the Figuarts display. Another big design and moment for the character would be his

Top 5 wanted Yolopark Transformers AMK model kits

Image
(All Images Source) Catching my eye lately has been Yolopark's line of AMK Transformers figures. Model kits in the softest sense of the term, their AMK series of figures has several levels of price points and series (AMK Pro, AMK Pro X) but all come as essentially glorified build-a-figures that hold together well, have superb detail and articulation, as well as accessory count! The Red series from Hasbro was a great idea that didn't pan out as well as it had the potential to; however, Yolopark has now cornered the market on exactly what non-transforming Transformers figures can be! Working their way through several movies and G1 at this point, hopes are high for this company to continue pushing out stellar Transformers figures, and as always I have my hopes of what will be released in the future! 5. Lockdown While stellar with detail, the Studio Series rendition of Lockdown was kibble-ridden which betrayed his onscreen CGI model which was very slim, agile, and perfect for a Yol

Top 5 most wanted McFarlane DC Multiverse Batman figures vol 3

Image
(Images Source) Mcfarlane's DC Multiverse line has really expanded in terms of the characters it includes, with many classic characters and even obscure designs and figures being out put. That said, Batman still maintains a heavy presence in the line of course, being the Batman, but that being said Batman is easily the most popular and as many Batman figures as they make there are constantly more suits and designs from the comics waiting to be made. We've gotten a hefty serving of Batmen since I last made a Batman wishlist, with long time wants such as Owlman, Injustice 2, and more live action media being explored, and these next five slots are what I hope to see down the road! Honorable mention: Justice League 3000 and Thrasher Armor (Image 1 Source)   (Image 2 Source) Taking the honorable mention slots is a sick looking Batman from an alternate future where the Justice League is cloned but with personalities askew from their original counterparts. Justice League 3000/3001 wer

Top 5 things I expect to see in Mcfarlane's DC Multiverse line in 2025

Image
With 2025 nearly upon us we will likely begin to get Mcfarlane DC Multiverse reveals for next year starting any time now. As always I have my guesses about what will be coming, some maybe more wishful thinking than others, but my track record has not been terrible (my guesses for this year were over 75% accurate!) and so hopefully that proves true once again because along with these being my guesses for what we could see in the new year, I sorely hope to add most of them to the collection! Honorable Mention: DCU Superman (Image Source) Coming in as an honorable mention is a figure I'm not going to waste a slot on this list for because we absolutely know that the next big movie release in the DC film slate is going to get action figure representation from Mcfarlane as every new big media piece does. Superman is a given, the design that you see above is going to be released as a DC Multiverse action figure in 2025 without a doubt. Beyond that I do hope to see more figures such as Mr.

Top 5 Most Wanted Transformers: One Studio Series figures

Image
(Image Source) The next film in the Transformers film franchise has hit theaters and what a fun ride it is! Crisp animation that is nice to look at, a breakneck pace that leaves little time for lulls, with commendable voice acting, and plenty of great characterizations to bring to life the origins of Optimus Prime and Megatron! Studio Series has done a great job of burning through the main cast already with those two, Elita-1, and Bee already topped off, with a Voyager Class Sentinel Prime looking to be one of the best of the line up so far. Since Studio Series focused exclusively on transforming designs it may be the case that all of the cog-less designs from the movie won't see a release in this line (which would be unfortunate), which narrows down the pool of potential figures from the movie greatly. So sticking to those Transformers that were seen and known to Transform within the film, this is my top 5 most wanted Studio Series figures from Transformers: One! 5. Shockwave (Ima

Top 5 most wanted Jada Toys Scooby Doo figures

Image
(Banner Images Source)   (Following Images Source) I've seen attempts at a Scooby Doo line over the years, but Jada Toys seems to have found the perfect balance and formula to bring these iconic characters to line on the shelf. Hyper articulated, plentiful with accessories, and most importantly of all there is a strong presence of the ghosts of the series. That is what is truly pulling me in, and Creeper and Mummy look to be solid first entries into the line's antagonistic cast, especially with the promise of accessories that allow for their unmasking scenes! The Mystery Inc members themselves will be packed as well, with alternate face portraits and matching accessories such as Shaggy and his snack box! Will this line looking to be off to a strong start, this list will accumulate my top 5 most wanted figures from Jada Toys' Scooby Doo line! 5. Scooby gang The most obvious forthcoming figures in the line are going to be the rest of the Scooby gang themselves, with Shaggy sh

Top 5 wanted Kaiyodo Amazing Yamaguchi Revoltech My Hero Academia UA students

Image
(Banner Image Source)   (Following Images Source) With the roster of My Hero Academia really getting filled out by the Revoltech line I wanted to give focus to the characters that make up the titular group of the Hero Academia, those are UA alongside Deku that have been growing into heroes as the show has progressed. We've gotten a decent grouping of them from Bakugo to Kirishima and most lately Ochaco; however, UA is home to plenty of great characters and this list will count down my top 5 most wanted UA students in Revoltech's My Hero line.  Honorable mention: Shinso When he first appeared in the earlier seasons of the series I was a big fan of this character, with his power set, design, and desire to be a hero to prove wrong those who said he would make a great villain. I was thrilled to see him get more focus in the latest seasons, with a whole hero costume designed for him at this point! With Eraserhead's signature scarf being a weapon he uses as well we have a pretty
