Top 5 most wanted NECA products Vol. 2
I'm back doing a list of the figures I want most from the master of the horror figures, NECA. Each year they constantly astound fans with their figures, and this year is no different from the others, especially with several of the figures on my last most wanted list have been confirmed. The 2009 film version of Jason is receiving a figure, one of the Pennywise figures will include the painting woman's head with confirmation she will not receive her own figure, Gremlins 2 figures have been confirmed as a possibility if the Gremlins 1 figures sell well (Which they seem to be doing), and Godzilla enemies like Mothra and Rodan are being released in the KOTM line! I've given thought to some of the others figures I'd like to see them tackle, so lets get rolling.
Honorable mention: Sleepaway Camp, Angela
This is one that I don't think is very possible given the very graphic nature of the final scene; however, I would also go for a fully clothed version of her from earlier in the movie that includes several of the weapons seen throughout the film. That ending shot of her is truly the most iconic part of the movie though.

5. More Gremlins and Kenner Aliens
This is a bit of a cheat slot, but I truly cannot choose just one from each of these lines. I want every Gremlin that can be produced from the first film, from the carolers, to the bar Gremlins, to the ski mask Gremlin. I want each and every one of them, as well as the Kenner inspired Aliens figures that have been getting released. Recently we got the Snake Alien and the Scorpion Alien, with several more still missing from that original line up! Boar, Killer Crab, Arachnid, and the others all have their due in the line, and hopefully more will come soon.

4. Shin Godzilla 2nd form/Godzilla 2000
The only figure still on this list from the last one is the 2nd form that Godzilla took in the Shin Godzilla film. It was a fresh, completely new design for Godzilla that had me wondering what direction the film would be taking him as the worm-like creature lumbered through the city. It is an intriguing design that I want on my shelf. Classic Godzilla-wise, I have to include the Godzilla 2000 design. It was used in a few different movies and it is one of my favorite designs for the big lizard. I love the purple spines, and how vicious he looks. It is one of the most popular Godzilla designs not to have been covered so far too!

3. Babadook
One of my favorite horror movies of all time is the Babadook! The creature in the movie is very creepy, with a compelling design and a swell of darkness around it. It would be a very impressive figure if done right, and would fit perfectly in NECA's line of clothed figures. They've mentioned before that they wanted to do it, but on a separate occasion I believe they stated they had no intention to do so. But with other relatively unknown horror properties like Night Breed getting a figure, I still have hope that the Babadook will join NECA's roster someday.

2. Annabelle doll
Long ago NECA announced a figure for the Nun based off of the Conjuring film universe, it looked stunning, and this past toyfair we were also given a look at a figure for the Crooked Man who also hails from the same films. The product card for the Crooked Man didn't list him as being from a Conjuring 2 exclusive line though, but as part of a larger Conjuring collection, with the most glaring omissions now being the Annabelle doll. It is arguably the most iconic piece from the entire franchise, and with the third movie releasing this year I hope that NECA has a figure for this creepy doll on their radar.

1. Jason X
A Jason Voorhees topped off the first list, and it is happening again in the second list. This year has seen a lot of love for the hockey masked killer, with three separate figures releasing to represent him which really starts to narrow down the pool of movies for them to cover when it comes to Jason. The one that people obvious want the most, me included, is the cyborg version of Jason from the 10th movie. It is such a ridiculous idea and design, but looks incredible, and I need a figure of it to go along with the other Jasons in my collection.
