Top 5 most wanted Star Wars Black Series videogame figures
The Star Wars videogames have always been a little scant in their offerings to the Black Series line from Hasbro; however, that seems to have changed recently as they've started a "Gaming Greats" subline that is an exclusive through Gamestop. We've gotten a few cool characters through this route like Jedi Revan, a Heavy Battle Droid, and now some variations of a stormtrooper from the Force Unleashed game series! I'm hoping that this series continues as a subline to give us more videogame figures from Star Wars' great history of videogames! These are the 5 characters in particular I'd like to see made!

5. Kyle Katarn
I wasn't born when these games first came out, but that didn't stop me from finding them later on and enjoying them! I loved the fact that they integrated live action segments into the game alongside a real human actor portraying the character of Kyle Katarn. This would make the jump from videogame to figure easy in terms of adapting the live action portions instead of trying to work around the pixel art of the game portions.

4. Republic Commandos
A first person shooter in the Star Wars universe that sees you in a squadron of republic commandos is a great offering for a line that really prides itself on the troopers that it steadily pumps out. The Republic commandos would be a very impressive, bulky figure for the line and would definitely be a must have for a lot of collectors, as well as being potential army builder targets.

3. Force Unleashed Stormtroopers
Very quickly we got two versions of the Stormtrooper variants from Force Unleashed with the Commander and the Shadow trooper, and I'm hoping that even more variations are upcoming! The troopers like I just mentioned have had a healthy history in the line and getting 6 inch scale figures for versions such as the Jump trooper with its gray and red highlights, the EVO trooper with its bulkier design and heavy blaster, as well as the Incinerator trooper which may be extra likely given its appearance in the Mandalorian!

2. EA games: Fallen Order and Battlefront 2
While a lot of their offerings haven't been welcomed fondly, EA have redeemed themselves a good amount in the past few years. Their story mode for Battlefront 2 was very enjoyable and I loved playing as the villains, in particular Iden Versio as she grappled with her loyalty to the Empire and her father. We got a figure of Inferno Squadron technically, but I would love a true figure with an unmasked Iden Versio headsculpt and even figures for Hask and Del Meeko. On the Fallen Order side of the things, the game is loved by fans and I agree with how great it is, being a soley single player experience with a great story and a great cast of characters! I only hope that after the first two figures we receievd for it, we get more such as Cal's mentor and the Ninth sister inquisitor.

1. Sith
Some of the best characters to come out of the videogames are no doubt the Sith lords from the KOTOR videogames! We've already gotten one with Darth Revan, two versions of him in fact! And I'm hoping that more of his Sith brethren are on the way as well! It would be great to have both Nihilus and Malak in the line, along with Starkiller from the Force Unleashed games, who may be the most popular choice from this group. With the Sith from the live action films essentially entirely covered aside from alternate outfits, this would be a good way to keep the Sith side of things fresh in the toyline!
