Top 5 most wanted Jazwares Hoenn Pokemon 2" battle figures

Image
(Images Source) My all time favorite Pokemon region remains Hoenn. Ruby and Sapphire were the first Pokemon games I played as a child that really resonated with me, with its diverse ecosystem, the varied land involving tree houses, deep dives, towns within icebergs, sea wreckage to explore, and the Pokemon of this region have cemented themselves as some of the most iconic in my brain. There's so many I'm happy to have already, yet so many more I hope to see down the line and ones that are amongst my favorite of the Hoenn Pokemon! With Jazwares pumping out the smaller 2 inch scaled battle figures more than any other size class, I'm focusing right now on my top 5 most wanted Hoenn 2 inch scale Pokemon from Jazwares! 5. Whismur Just like the Slaking line, the Exploud line is another Pokemon evolutionary line that stands out to me a lot. We got Loudred early in the line, but I would really love to get the other two evolutions as well. The easiest to go with would be Whismur sin...

Top 5 most wanted Jazwares Johto Pokemon 2" battle figures

Image
(Images Source) After taking a look at what 2 inch Kanto Pokemon I want in Jazwares Battle Pokemon line, the next generation up will be Johto, who has enjoyed a nice reaping of Pokemon from this follow up region, including Wooper and Marill as pictured above. These two are amongst my two favorites from this region, but the upcoming five are five I feel are very deserving for the line as well! With hundreds of Pokemon already checked off, and hundreds more to go, these are my top 5 most wanted 2 inch scale Pokemon from Jazwares! 5. Corsola I think that in Jazwares figure form this Pokemon could be really interesting with its multiple prongs all along its body. It would definitely set it apart from other Pokemon in the series, while also adding another water type to the line which so far I feel are underrepresented. (Image Source) 4. Dunsparce In the Firered and Leafgreen games, I recall being able to find Dunsparce in only one location, this out of the way patch of grass on a secluded l...

Top 5 most wanted Jazwares Kanto Pokemon 2" battle figures

Image
I have officially jumped into Jazwares/Wicked Cool Toys' Pokemon toyline. It has gone very extensively into the Pokemon roster highlighting both fan favorites as well as more obscure choices from the Pokemon world, with every region represented! This toyline is certainly one of the more affordable ways to build out your Pokemon display here in the US, and with the breadth of product released and all of the figures yet to be released (Paras and Golett are looking good!) it has me infinitely excited to have a dedicated Pokemon display! Kanto will always be the bread and butter of any Pokemon line, so I am starting with Kanto and the 2 inch line of battle figures that feature the smaller 'Mons of the Pocket Monster world, and which of those smaller Pokemon from the first region of the series I want most!

Top 5 wanted Star Wars Black Series figures for The Mandalorian and Grogu vol 2

Image
(Image Source) The Mandalorian and Grogu has finally premiered and it brought with it a whole second wave of figures to flesh out the cast of the film for Hasbro's 6 inch Black Series line. We've gotten big characters like Embo and Zeb who were missing from the first wave, not to mention army builders like the remnant Snowtroopers and a Mercenary Droid which I was both hoping to see developed into figures in the line! Having seen the film for myself I know there are several more designs that would make for amazing action figures from a film filled to the brim with alien and droid designs!  5. Hugo Durant (Image Source) Rio was one of my favorite parts of the Solo movie, so seeing another of his species appear it was a ton of fun, now as a food truck chef who serves Mando with information throughout the film. The multitude of arms promises a very fun build for the figure, and another character to flesh out the universe! 4. Gatori (Image Source) While it was certainly one of the ...

Top 5 most wanted Jada Toys Invincible figures

Image
(Banner Image Source)   (Following Images Source)  I'm still eagerly awaiting the drop of Jada Toys' stellar looking Invincible line, but we have had it confirmed in interviews that multiple waves are in development and they intend for Invincible to be their new flagship line. A wave 2 is inevitable, and these are my hopes for characters we will see soon, especially with SDCC right around the corner next month!  5. Invincible This one would be the simplest figure for them to put out given that they already have 95% of the sculpt sans the kneepads. Keeping the main character in circulation in the line will keep hype high, and allow fans to constantly have access to the titular character of the series.  4. Atom Eve The line is lacking female characters to this point (like the show itself honestly, which the creators have noted and are trying to rectify with gender swaps like Tech Jacket), and Atom Eve would make the most sense to put out in the line. she is easily one ...

Top 5 most wanted Maul: Shadow Lord Star Wars Black Series figures

Image
(Images Source) The latest and one of the most anticipated Star Wars projects has premiered and wrapped up its stellar first season. Maul: Shadow Lord has proven to be one of the best projects in recent Star Wars history, giving the focus to one of the best characters of the franchise and creating a well crafted story across 10 episodes with some of the most epic lightsaber duels ever. Hasbro's Black Series line of figures launched with four releases to celebrate the show, including some big names like Devon and the deadly Eleventh Brother, but there are plenty more characters I'd like to see before the line moves on.  5. Officer Lawson One of the those primary characters is Officer Lawson. His design isn't as exciting as many other characters on this list, but his prominence to the story and the well played out side of his story where we saw Janix's police investigation led by him were some of the most thought provoking.  4. Scorn and Icarus Rook Kast looks to be a gre...

Top 5 wanted Star Wars Black Series figures for The Mandalorian and Grogu

Image
(Image Source) A new Star Wars movie is nearly upon us and I for one am very exciting for the toy rollout for the movie and seeing it if gets the same amount of fanfare and backing that a lot of previous Star Wars movies have gotten from Hasbro! I remember the waves upon waves of new movie figures for films like Last Jedi and Solo, seeing new characters and designs put out with the hype surrounding the release, and so far we've gotten one wave of Mandalorian and Grogu figures with a couple of exclusives and hopefully lots more around the corner! With the release of the film still impending we don't have a full knowledge about the roster of the movie or even clear looks at a lot of the characters and designs in it, but from what we know and what has already been released these are the top figures I want from the new movie! 5. Zeb (Image Source) A very popular character and one fans waited forever for in the Black Series, and now we have a chance at getting another Zeb in the lin...
