Top 5 most wanted Neca The Boys figures
The Boys was an instant hit when it premiered, bringing a darker, bloodier, more adult take on the superhero brand starkly different from most of the capes media we see on screen. It has continued to be a widely popular show with season 3 on the horizon, and Neca is taking the reigns of mass retail toy producer for the series with Homelander and Starlight as their obvious first two figures in the line. Having recently binged the series, I couldn't be more excited for the characters of the show to be brought to figure form by Neca, and I'm looking forward to seeing what figures come next! These are my top 5 most wanted The Boys figures from Neca!

Starting off the show as one of the most despised characters due to what he did to Starlight, it was a delight watching him get outed as a pervert, kicked off the Seven, and journey towards becoming somewhat of a better person. His love of sea life are one of the only redeeming things about his character, though for the scene of his gills singing to him that only made him one of my favorite characters to watch on the show.
We don't know a ton about Black Noir, but I've absolutely loved every scene he shows up in and the less said about this mysterious supe just makes him more and more intriguing to watch. He is lethal, mute, and had some of the best moments of the show from taking down the exploding terrorist in the start of season 2, to playing the piano at a company party. His costume is also one of my favorites of the group, so much done with so little.
While the superheroes of the universe would of course make the best action figures, Billy Butcher is a character that purely necessitates a figure if we're talking about The Boys. While Hughie is the main character, there's no doubt that Billy Butcher is one of the most recognized figures of the franchise alongside Homelander and his storyline, ferocity, and behaviors has made him one of the best characters of the series. Not to mention the fact that any figure of him would require a laser baby accessory, which would be amazing.
Another superhero who started off the show in a well hated position, A-Train hasn't done a lot to win back to viewers but him not turning in Starlight was a step in the right direction. It has also been very interesting to watch him face the conundrum of growing older, getting slower, and losing his place in the Seven because of that. Just like Black Noir, A-Train also has one of my favorite costumes of the series, and the sound effects of his running is top notch.
At the peak of Homelander being the most hated figure in the show, we got Stormfront. At first, it looked like Starlight might have a new ally in someone who publicly spoke out about Vought; however, without spoiling things I'll say that Stormfront was quickly revealed as the most despicable and vile character the show had produced up to this point. As more and more came out about the character, it was clear that she was the worst of the worst, and a figure of her would greatly compliment Homelander's.
