Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane DC Multiverse Injustice videogame figures

As I've been talking about different storylines and universes in the DC comic history that I'd like to see adapted into figure form there's actually a non comic based world I'd really love to see delved into. This would be the videogame universe of the Injustice universe, a world where Superman went bad and took over everything like a dictator. I've mentioned it before in my posts talking about the videogame based characters I'd like to see made, but I've decided to give it its own dedicated post much like I've done with the Arkham series. So with videogames already firmly established in the DC Multiverse line by Mcfarlane, here are my top 5 most wanted Injustice series figures.

5. Batman

At this point I feel like any Batman included in any of my lists have a very, very good chance at being made so I'm automatically putting him at the bottom of the list. Aside from that, its also a pretty standard Batman suit though its still a great design. I really liked Batman's stance in the game as the main hero revolting against Superman's regime, and his relationship with the once hero through the second game in the franchise was a really interesting story beat to explore. (Image Source)


4. Gorilla Grodd

This is a figure I want in any form no matter what source material he is pulled from. Gorilla Grodd is one of Flash's main villains and like a lot of other DC characters, his repertoire of action figures is very low. The main one I can think of is the old DCUC BAF and at this point I'm thinking he needs a new figure to both update to today's articulation and get it out there for non aftermarket prices. The Injustice 2 design would also differentiate itself from that old figure because it takes the trend of Grodd wearing full armor which is my personal favorite look for the telepathic gorilla. (Image Source)


3. Scarecrow

While the character wasn't super integral to the story or anything, design along slots this character into this list because its such a different and abstract design for the Scarecrow! The tall, lanky, nightmarish form that he takes after putting his opponent under his fear gas is such a cool design and one that would make for an awesome figure unlike any other that the character has received before. (Image Source)


2. Flash

This is a character making the list because of his role in the story which I really really liked. In the first game he was the first character to defect from Superman's regime, abandoning the dictatorship and fighting to take them down with one of his first acts intercepting Sinestro's rally. The second game expanded on this idea, with Flash still working to atone for his past crimes under Superman. Either design from either game would be acceptable for me as they both look really cool, and Mcfarlane has already proved he can make a very good Flash figure from looking at his Rebirth figure. (Image Source)


1. Superman

When talking about Injustice, I don't think any other character could have taken this spot. There have been a lot of stories through the years with some kind of riff on an evil Superman plot, but this is the one that tops them all I believe and the absolute darkness that Superman has fallen into by the time the games take place make for an extremely different character from what we're used to. From the tragic backstory, to the shocking confrontation to Joker and everything that comes after, this is an incredible and stand out version of the man of steel that is for sure one of the best Elseworlds stories out there. (Image Source)

Top 5 most wanted Star Wars the Black Series aliens from The Phantom Menace

The prequel love is very strong recently in Star Wars the Black Series, the line of 6 inch collection figures covering the Star Wars franchise. It felt like, as a prequel fan, that I was gasping for prequel figures in the collection not only a year ago but now we've had a flood of them, with another flood quickly coming! It's gotten me more excited for the line than I've been in a long time, and I've been thinking about some choice prequel characters I'd like to see! Aliens are getting a bit of a resurgence in the line as well, with prequel Jedi, Moloch, Rio, and a few others, so what better list to make than my most wanted aliens from the prequels? For this post I'm focusing in on Phantom Menace which had a great selection of aliens! And here are my top 5!

Top 5 most wanted NECA Back to the Future figures

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!

Top 5 most wanted Jakks Pacific Sonic Badniks vol 2

Image
(Images Source) We have been getting more and more robotic Badniks in Jakks Pacific's line of Sonic figures which is very exciting! Primary characters are great, but getting more of the background designs to fill out the scenes is awesome and we've recently got some Badniks I was eagerly waiting for like the Burrobot, Newtron, and most recently the Caterkiller!! Eggman's army is packed to the brim though with all kinds of robotic enemies, and these are five more I hope to eventually see! 5. Jaws The Chopper is not the most posable of the Badniks that we've gotten so far (not that many are very posable to begin with), but it is such a classic design from the series and another underwater enemy would be the Jaws. With Jakks Pacific steadily working through giving us little playsets themed around different levels, a set themed around the underwater sequences would be the perfect way to get this guy into the line. 4. Roller With complete transparency, I will admit that thes...
