Top 5 most likely Star Wars the Black Series figures vol 3

Image
Star Wars the Black Series line continues to be one of the best detailed, best looking line of figures on the market and its highly varied offering of characters from movies, tv shows, and games means that there is likely something for any Star Wars fans. Though this random picking of characters may seem random at times, popular demand for certain characters means they will be made before others, and that the likelihood for some characters makes them more highly probable to see life in the line sooner rather than later. I've made two lists already about what I thought were the most likely figures to come to the line, and from my last list we've had reveals/releases for the Sith Jet Trooper, the Hoth Rebel, Zeb, and more Luke Skywalker figures. So I've put together a third list of the characters I consider most likely to receive Black Series figures next, and here are the ones I settled on.

Most wanted Power Rangers from each Zordon era show in Hasbro's Lightning Collection

Image
Hasbro's line of new Power Rangers figures has become an instant hit in my collection and for a lot of other fans! It has gotten me back into watching Power Rangers and working my way back through all of the series! A lot of great stories and characters are being reintroduced to me and getting this new line of highly articulated, graciously accessorized figures is a real treat! To further celebrate this line, I'm looking through each era of Power Rangers content and deciding which ranger I want most from each show based on what has been done so far and what hasn't been done! So with the original Zordon era up first, here are my most wanted rangers from the first four shows of Power Rangers history!

Top 5 most wanted Hasbro Ghostbusters figures

Image
Ghostbusters was a surprising new addition to Hasbro's license of figures to make, and the figures in their first wave look really incredible! It makes me excited for the line to potentially continue, and for all of the potential characters to get Hasbro figures that follow suit with the really great offerings in wave 1! With this new toyline coming out, and an interesting looking new movie coming out, Ghostbusters is bigger than it has been in a while and here are the top 5 figures I hope to come out in this new line!

Stay Puft This would be a perfect choice for a Haslab project based on this franchise, but I'd also go for a big figure or even a build a figure because we'll probably never actually get an in scale Stay Puft figure with his size in the movie. I've always...

Top 5 most wanted NECA Back to the Future figures

Image
NECA gave us a huge surprise this year with the reveal of a full range of action figures for the Back to the Future franchise! This is definitely one of the most popular franchises out there and I didn't know that I needed action figures for it until now! So far we've had a couple of reveals in the form of Marty from the first movie, Marty in the second movie, Marty in his spaceman costume, and then Biff from the first movie. The movies don't have the biggest cast that are ideal for action figure treatment, but I've thought up five from the three movies that need to come into the line after these four!

Batwoman S01 EP20 season finale spoiler review

Image
Batwoman made it two episodes away from their original planned finale before having their season cut short by the virus. This means that 20 has become the season finale for the first season of the show, and while other shows like Flash or Supergirl who are in later seasons may not be impacted as much on a critical level, this was the big finale to the freshman season of Batwoman which means it is the season under the most scrutiny by fans and viewers. So how much does this unintentional season finale affect the story being told in this first story? I'm here to give my thoughts on it in my review of Batwoman's season 1 finale! (Image Source) Related posts: Batwoman S01 EP19 spoiler review Batwoman S01 EP18 spoiler review The episode began with one of the Arkham escapees attacking and killing a man on a train before escaping when Jacob Kane and Kate who happened to be in the area intervened. That was the introduction of the villain for our new season finale and ...

Top 5 most wanted Marvel Legends Old Man series figures

Image
I feel like the Marvel Legends line hasn't totally delved into the alternate universe stories that they have under Marvel's comic belt; however, we recently got the reveal of a two pack based on the Old Man Logan comic book featuring a new Old Man Logan including baby Hulk, and Old Man Hawkeye. Both look phenomenal, and already I'm hoping that the Old Man universe is further expanded in the toyline as it is a very popular Marvel universe. These comics have given us alternate versions of a lot of great characters, and following Logan and Hawkeye here are the 5 I hope come next.

The Flash S06 EP19 season finale spoiler review

Image
We recently got the impromptu season finale for the Flash's 6th season on the air, and it'll be our last Flash episode for a while so it was what left us with thoughts to cover the next several months until season 7 is put into production and released. Despite being an unintentional finale, the episode had a lot of merit as the final episode of the season and appropriately wrapped up a few big storylines while leaving a lot of cliffhangers for us to dwell on. So with a fair amount to talk about, here is my review of the Flash's season 6 finale. (Image Source) Related posts: The Flash S06 EP18 spoiler review The Flash S06 EP17 spoiler review First off, there was no Atlantis in this episode like I was afraid of and I don't think Cisco was even mentioned by any of the characters, making this the first season finale not to include him. Other barely used characters included Caitlin/Killer Frost who had a couple scenes with Caitlin's mom who was working towar...

Top 5 most wanted Fox Deadpool Marvel Legends figures

Image
I've mentioned before how excited I am for the Fox Xmen series to be entering the Marvel Legends lie with some great looking figures so far! The Deadpool movie actually composes most of the first offering, with Deadpool himself, Cable, Domino, and Negasonic all a part of the initial assortment. With the popularity of these two films, I'm sure that if the line continues we'll get plenty more Deadpool based figures, and here are the top 5 I'd like to see made.

Ajax and Angel Dust Doubling up for the first slot are the villains from the first film. Ajax and Angel Dust weren't the most developed or stand out villains, but they did the job of standing toe to toe with the heroes and putting up some great fights. I did like the design of Ajax's last outfit with the lighter colors and the vest, along with the fire axes h...

Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane Movie Maniac figures

Image
One of Mcfarlane's lines that went down before I started collecting toys was the Movie Maniacs line which seems to have been an outlet for all kinds of different movie figures without adhereing to one particular license. I love the concept of this line as possibly anything could pop up in the line, from Jason Voorhees to Shaft to Pumpkinhead, lots of oddball monsters and movie characters were assorted through the line. With the insane success of the Spawn kickstarter, Mcfarlane has discussed reviving some of his other lines and Movie Maniacs was one he mentioned specifically. I would love see what characters from this modern age Mcfarlane would choose for the line, and in particular here are 5 movie characters I'd love to see in a revived line.
