Top 5 most wanted Mega Construx Detective Pikachu movie sets

Image
Mega Construx has released their wave of sets based around the Detective Pikachu movie, sans the Torterra which is slated for release further in the year, and while they've said that they have no more sets planned in conjunction with the film, there's still plenty of Pokemon for them to do one day. While I don't expect them to be branded as Detective Pikachu, these are the Pokemon from the film that haven't been done yet that I want to get buildable sets for. So here are the top five Detective Pikachu movie Pokemon sets I want most. (Image Source) 5. Rufflet Like a lot of Pokemon in the movie, these guys just show up in the background of a couple scenes, but I thought that they looked neat while they were on screen and their evolved form of Braviary was a sight to behold when it flew past. The adorable look of these birds with giant heads must be captured in the Mega Construx line soon! (Image Source) 4. Morelull This is a Pokemon who did play a more pr

Most wanted Star Wars: A New Hope Black Series figures

Image
Continuing my series of what figures I want most from each Star Wars film, I'll be jumping to the fourth film in the franchise, A New Hope, to take a look at what figure I'm waiting to be made in the Black Series line. There are plenty of alien characters that would be awesome in this line, but I have another post ready to tackle those so for the most part I'll be sticking to the non-Cantina characters as best I can. So here are my most wanted Black Series figure from the fourth Star Wars film. (Image Source) 5. Cantina band aliens I couldn't rest without putting these characters on the list. They're an iconic part of the original film and if they were on the poster of the film they wouldn't feel out of place. They're a group of cool looking aliens that would be absolutely perfect for the deluxe portion of the Black Series line! While they could be done as a multipack, making one figure who comes with all of the instruments would be a great way to

Top 5 most wanted Studio Series Bumblebee figures

Image
A lot of Hasbro's Studio Series line for Transformers has been unexpected in terms of characters that I didn't expect to be made in the line, at least so soon into its life such as the KSI Sentry or Scrapmetal. One constant though is the inclusion of Bumblebee, being a core character in the franchise, along with being a bot that many in the mainstream crowd will recognize without an issue. We've gotten four forms of Bumblebee in the line already, being his clunker form, VW form, WW2 form, and his TLK form in a two pack, but there are still a few more left to do, and here is my ranking of the top 5 Bumblebee figures I want most in the Studio Series line. (Image Source) 5. AOE first form Bumblebee didn't spend much of the movie in this form, but I liked it while it was around. It was a neat color change and a new type of car that let an Autobot be something other than a high end sports car. When it comes down to it, it is really the car that makes me want this f

Top 5 most wanted Star Wars the Black Series Clones

Image
One constant that has been a pat of Hasbro's 6 inch Black Series line for Star Wars has been the inclusion of Clones whether it be the various commanders or generic troops to army build. Lately we've been getting more clone commanders such as Gree and Wolffe, and it has got me thinking about which clones in general I want to get in the coming future. As always, I have a list made out to run them down, and here's the top five most wanted Clone figures I want from the Black Series line. (Image Source) 5. Commander Fox In the Clone Wars tv show, I always thought this guy was a really cool commander with the swath of red all over his armor. I would prefer his phase 2 armor, but the red detailing on his phase 1 armor is also very cool. As a kid, I also liked this character enough that when I played the original Battlefront 2, I named my save file after him so that in matches I was called Comm. Fox. Hasbro has also said that they plan on doing more Clone Wars characters

Most wanted Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Black Series figures

Image
For the 20th anniversary of the Phantom Menace this year, I did a series of three posts looking into what figures I wanted most from each movie in that trilogy. It was a good look into the characters of the world for me to think about what I wanted next in Hasbro's action figure line, and I've decided to apply that to the movies in the original trilogy as well! This time I'll be starting at the end with Return of the Jedi! (Image Source) 5. Ghost Yoda Ghost Obi Wan was a neat figure with a great trick towards achieving that Force ghost apparition state without making the figure completely translucent. It looked good, and I'm aching for the rest of the Force ghosts in this fashion. Yoda is the obvious next choice, especially with him showing up again in The Last Jedi in this form. It would be an easy repaint of an existing figure who is already being rereleased in the Archive set, and I need to finish my Force ghost collection. (Image Source) 4. Ewoks Thi

Top 5 most wanted 6-7 inch Fortnite legendary skins figures (Jazwares and McFarlane)

Image
Fortnite has blown up in popular culture to the point that there are two full lines of 6-7 inch figures being produced by two different companies! While the size is a bit off, this means that more characters are being produced than before when Jazwares hadn't started their 6 inch line, but now, the collection will be growing more rapidly. My excuse for putting both together is that I can say some characters may just be taller than others, I'm just excited to be getting more characters in general, and here are the top 5 Fortnite Legendary skin figures I want most from both Jazwares' and McFarlane's Fortnite lines. (Image Source) 5. Repaints: Inferno, Panda team leader, and Rose team leader This would be an easy one for them both to do. Both companies have made Wild Card figures so it should be easy for them to do Inferno. It is a red version of the white suited character which looks very cool in my opinion, very devilish especially with his flaming head which wo

Top 10 most likely Mega Construx Kanto Pokemon $10 sets

Image
Mega Construx' line of buildable Pokemon figures seems to have found a new niche for the line similar to their 7 dollar Pokeball sets. This would be the $10 sets that originally were only used for mid evolution starter Pokemon, but have now been used for several other Pokemon that fit that size! In anticipation of more figures in this price point, I've thought about the Kanto Pokemon that I think are most likely to be released in this format, and here is my ranking of the top 10. (Image Source) 10. Kanto non-evolvers To be fair, I don't think all of them will fit in this price point, but a few of them certainly will. We've already gotten Mr. Mime and Lickitung in this style, and the number of the non-evolvers that need to be covered has gone down in the last year. Jynx, Magmar, Pinsir, and Tauros still haven't received sets, and Pinsir especially I think fits this format. (Image 1 Source)   (Image 2 Source)   (Image 3 Source)   (Image 4 Source) 9. Hitm
