Top 5 most wanted McFarlane DC Multiverse Superman villains

This is a list I can't believe I haven't made yet, as I've covered other famous rogues galleries such as Batman's and Flash's in regards to what figures I'd like to see in Mcfarlane's line of DC Multiverse action figures, but I haven't gotten to Superman's yet. The world's first superhero has some of the greatest villains to ever appear in comic panels, and so far the toyline hasn't made a lot of headway when it comes to covering these famous foes. Bizarro is lined up to get a figure next year and that's about it so far, so with Bizarro hopefully just the first step in Superman's rogues, here are my next top five most wanted from this group.

5. Metallo
Definitely a classic, and one I'd really like to see their interpretation on whether they want to go with the more human looking design of the character or the full on robotic body. I feel the robot body would lean more towards Mcfarlane's tastes but I'd honestly take either version, and with the old DCUC figure being based on the robot body it'd be cool to get the humanoid version with the kryptonite chest piece as a change.


4. General Zod
While I've absolutely loved the live action movie dealings of this character, the comic side hasn't been as prominent to my surprise. His classic appearances were very sparse, and even nowadays I feel like I don't see Zod all that often compared to other villains of the man of steel. Zod's recent roles in the awesome "For Tomorrow" storyline, his time in the Suicide Squad, as well as his short stint in the 2019 Batman/Superman comic series have all been highlights for me for this character's modern outings and I hope to get him in some form soon.


3. Doomsday
A build a figure Doomsday is one I've heard plenty of people talking about when it comes to hopes for the line, and even one of Mcfarlane's designers has talked about wanting to do that exact idea! We've gotten a bit of a taste of what it would be like with the Dark Knights Devastator figure and I can only say that I cannot wait for their take on a Doomsday! Especially if he is a build a figure and made to be massive.


2. Brainiac
One of the hero's most iconic villains definitely deserves one of the higher slots and while other companies have given their takes on the character such as the recent DC Essentials version, Mcfarlane is the one I'm waiting on to give us an incredible figure like they have for so many other characters. The Superman storyline in which he first combats Brainiac is one of the greatest of all time for the character in my opinion, and his recent outings with the Legion of Doom have been a ton of fun to read.


1. Lex Luthor
What other character could take the top spot in a list like this? Lex Luthor has been and will always be the greatest nemesis of the Man of Steel and it really shows how powerful a regular man can be if he truly puts his mind to it, that someone like Lex Luthor could be such a threat to Superman. There's so many great designs from the comics to take inspiration from! The massive green suit from earlier days, the slimmer tech suit from Forever Evil, and more recent Apex Lex reimagining, there's lots of choices and with several Jokers in the line already I hope it isn't long before Lex Luthor is given the Mcfarlane figure treatment as well.

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 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

Top 5 most wanted Mattel Hammond Collection dinosaurs

The Hammond Collection looks to be the collector's dream for an articulated, highly accurate line of dinosaur figures! We're getting lot's of iconic and fan favorite creatures in the line's first year, with more great figures sure to be in the line's future! (Image Source) 5. Pteranodon The version of this dino that we got from the Amber collection was pretty spot on; however, we've got a new scale to work with and so I'm needing myself a new collector's line Pteradon to fit in with the rest of the Hammond Collection we've been building up to this point! I'd be really interested to see if a flight stand would be included as well, especially since stands haven't been utilized up to this point in this line. (Image Source) 4. Quetzalcoatlus A newer dinosaur being introduced into the film series is one who looks epic brought to life! I love the head design of this massive flying beast, and just like the Pteranodon I have no doubt that the wingspa
