(Banner Image Source)   (Following Images Source) This was really the first subteam that Hasbro's GI Joe Classified line really delved into, delivering a hefty bunch of the Tiger Force Joe repaints and designs, with still more trickling out every so often like the Roadblock and Tripwire two pack. While other subteams have become more of a focus in recent times, the Tiger Force unit still has lots of viable entries to be check off, and with me having taken a look at so many other subteams already I'm now looking at one of the most fleshed out thus far.  5. Dial Tone We recently received our first Dial Tone figure in the line taking out his primary look from the series, and as one of the stand out season 2 characters it was great to get the character in the line amongst others like Beachhead and Leatherneck. Dial Tone's Tiger Force design could make good use of his mold, granting him a slightly ugly color scheme that combines the Tiger stripes with a deep blue, though it woul...

(Banner Image Source)   (Following Images Source) Blokees line of buildable Chibi-esque Transformers figures have been taking the model kit community and Transformers fans by storm since their first wave. Now we are seven waves deep with G1, IDW, Shattered Glass and Transformers: One all under heavy representation. Many had been beginning to wonder if that first wave of Transformers: One figures were going to be a one off to celebrate the launch of the movie, but lo and behold we have a whole second wave of One characters and designs to further flesh out the film in what is now the most expansive toy collection for the origin story. All three versions of both Optimus and Megatron, both B-127s, several miners, and now the primary three Elite Guard members! With so much of the cast rounded out at this point a third wave could all but complete every notable character! 5. Gold Death Tracker A surprise addition to wave 7 was the silver Death Tracker, adding to this trio of faceless grun...

While the show had its low points, it most certainly had so many high points as well and after watching it I personally enjoyed GT and its villains. I hope the recent surge of GT isn't all we'll get, because these next five slots are characters and designs I'd love to get next! 5. Majuub For as important as the end of Z made Uub we still haven't received any representation of him at all across the Tamashii Nations line. While a base form Uub would be cool, I think a Majuub would be even better as the embodiment of his most powerful look that we see him take on during his fight with Baby. He became a core Z fighter in this series after his set up in the end of Z, and G...

(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...

(Banner Image Source)   (Following Images Source) With the rereleases of Final form Cooler and Broly due out this year, and Tamashii Nations' focus on the Frieza saga and Daima lines seemingly beginning to wane, I'm hoping to see more of the Z film characters and namely the villains get more S.H.Figuarts going forward. 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...
