Top 10 most wanted Star Wars the Black Series figures vol 3

Image
Star Wars the Black Series as a line keeps getting better and better in my opinion. As a prequels fan, I love the recent influx of representation the line has given to that era of the franchise, along with the increased amount of aliens and robots it feels like we're getting! Articulation has never been better, photo real has made the figures look better than ever, and with this huge gap in movies that means the line has plenty of time to catch its breath and not only give us characters from the newer movies it missed, but also return to giving us tons of legacy characters from the original two trilogies. With the future wide open for the line to go above and beyond, here is my newly updated list of the top 10 Star Wars the Black Series figures I want most vol 3.

Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane DC Multiverse stylized figures

Image
Something Mcfarlane has made a point about with his line of DC action figures is that he wants to do the cooler looking figures that will stand out against the others, and also that haven't been done before really. That was his reasoning with the Hellbat armor, the Superman Unchained armor, and the upcoming White Knight figures, and it appears that these choices have been well received by fans with these figures being some of the best selling in his assortment! He's said he will do more of what sells, so more of these specific, stylized figures are probably on the horizon so I'm looking to the less classic versions and more modern variations like those listed above for my top 5 most wanted DC stylized figures!

Top 5 most wanted NECA TMNT 1980s cartoon figures vol 3

Image
NECA's stamp in the TMNT toy history keeps on chugging as Toyfair showed off a ton of new figures for their 1980s cartoon line! So many long awaited figures were finally revealed like Splinter and Baxter Stockman, as well as a completed Android Krang after the tease we got a while ago. Also on display were multiple versions of the Triceratons, the first of which was revealed a while ago too. Suddenly, my vol 2 of most wanted figures from the old show has been checked off nearly completely and I've got a vol 3 here with another top 5 of my most wanted figures from the original TMNT 1980s cartoon! With the rate NECA has been going, I won't be surprised to have these figures all out by the end of the year too!

Top 5 most wanted Transformers Galaxies comic spinoffs

Image
I am really enjoying the new mainline series of Transformers comics, but just as much I am enjoying the spinoff comic book series titled, "Galaxies," that offers standalone stories based around popular characters separate from the main line storyline! The Constructicon 4 issue series was a great opener, and so far the Cliffjumper storyline is a strong follow up. Both of them have me excited for the Arcee/Greenlight/Gauge story after that, and especially the Ultra Magnus spotlight by issue 10. There hasn't been anything said on the life of the series after that, but I'm hoping it will continue for the foreseeable future, and I've thought about 5 potential characters I'd love to see covered in the Galaxies line of spinoff stories!

Batwoman S01 EP16 spoiler review

Image
Batwoman's latest episode pushed some major new advancements in the story of Kate and Alice, while also dealing with the fallout of last week's events alongside the tease of a bigger villain coming to Gotham. Here is my review for Batwoman's 16th episode before the break! (Image Source) Related posts: Batwoman S01 EP15 spoiler review Batwoman S01 EP14 spoiler review Sophie was back after sitting out last week's episode and found herself the target of an assassination attempt, in which she was aided and saved by Julia who has returned after several episodes of being absent. It was fun to see her again, though it took me a bit to remember who exactly she was until she reintroduced herself. Julia had taken a shot herself, and the two of them ventured to Mary's hospital where the was patched back up. Concerning Mary, her chunk of the episode involved her supporting Luke as his father's killer faced a retrial and was allowed to go free until another co...

Top 5 most wanted Jazwares Halo 6.5 inch figures

Image
I've mentioned it before but coming out of Toyfair 2020, my favorite surprise that caught me off guard was the reveal of Jazware's new line of Halo action figures! I had no idea they had acquired the license and the figures themselves look amazing, added to that the fact that they're pulling from different Halo games instead of just adapting the new one and I think the future may be bright for Halo action figures after Mattel let their line die. With my anticipation for this new line running high, here are the top 5 figures I'd love to receive in Jazware's Halo line of 6.5 inch figures!

Top 5 most wanted McFarlane DC Multiverse videogame figures vol 2

Image
McFarlane had a good showing this past month with a ton of new figures for all of their lines, but the one I was most excited about was the continuation of their DC figure line and the characters that they're bringing to us in wave 2. In my original list of my most wanted videogame characters from the company's new line, I included the Batman: Dark Tomorrow Batman who we're basically getting with the blue, classic Batman variant of the Detective Comics 1000 Batman. I also included the Arkham versions of Batman and Joker who are both coming to us in the second wave of figures.  Thats three out of the original five I had on my mind so I thought of a new set of five to make up a new list, and here is my new list of DC videogame characters I'd like figures of!

The Flash S06 EP15 spoiler review

Image
The Flash had a lot going on this episode and it left us with quite the episode to think about going into this extended break due to the Coronavirus outbreak. The trailer for the next episode says the show will return on April 7th so we have a couple weeks to absorb what went on in this episode, and so far here are my thoughts two days out from the airing of Flash's 15th episode of season 6! (Image Source) Related posts: The Flash S06 EP13 spoiler review The Flash S06 EP14 spoiler review I may be wrong, but I think this may be our first episode ever without Iris in it? Fake Iris was there but real Iris wasn't seen at all, only mentioned, so that may be a first for the show. I also want to mention something I've talked about before where the show may have too many characters to juggle. I feel like it is obvious when characters don't show up just so the episodes aren't crowded, as Ralph has tragically only been in one episode of the last 5, Chester has o...

Batwoman S01 EP15 spoiler review

Image
Batwoman's latest episode includes a lot of great backstory for Alice in particular, and seems to set up at least what will be a temporary status quo for the next couple of episodes. It also featured a major moment for Batwoman that will no doubt impact her in a big way, probably not in the best way either. Here is my review of Batwoman's 15th episode of the first season. (Image Source) Related posts: Batwoman S01 EP14 Batwoman S01 EP13 Mary and Luke went on the search for Beth's killer in this episode, leading them to the abandoned car Cartwright had driven in and then left his gun behind in after shooting and killing Beth. It was great getting to see these characters interact more, and more of an involved role for Mary who I think definitely needs a chance to do more in the series. The main piece of the episode involved Alice leaving Cartwright for Kate to interrogate along with a message to ask him about "mommy dearest." She enlisted her father t...

Top 5 most wanted McFarlane DC Multiverse big figures

Image
McFarlane has made a point that big characters will be included in his line of DC action figures. Some at regular price, others as build a figures, and his emphasis on BIG makes me excited what he does with some of DC's bigger sized characters! There's a whole stable of these kinds of characters in the pages of DC history, but I've managed to narrow my list of most wanted down to 5 (kind of) of the ones I want most in figure form from Mcfarlane. So here are my top 5 most wanted big characters from Mcfarlane's DC Multiverse line.
