Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane DC Multiverse figures based on Batman: Arkham Asylum

The Batman Arkham game series is easily one of the most popular DC videogames out there and personally one of my favorite Batman universes of all time. I really love the lore and the characters that the series gave us over its four installments and I'm so excited for the universe to continue in the upcoming sequel videogame. It all started with Arkham Asylum though, which still holds up really well, and Mcfarlane toys seems to understand the love this series holds from fans as in their second wave of DC figures they included Batman and Joker based off of their Arkham Asylum designs. The designs of these games have always been some of my favorite for these characters, and DC Collectibles gave some incredibly sculpted figures for the first game, their articulation was severely lacking in some cases, and I hope these are the next 5 characters to get updated in figure form by Mcfarlane.

5. Poison Ivy
One of the most epic moments of the first game comes as you fight Ivy in her giant plant, but even before that her presence on the island is felt as weeds and vines grow all over the landscape, making the building she holes up in nothing less than a maze and fortress to traverse through. I've always liked the fact that Ivy wears actual clothes in this game interpretation, as scant as they may be, as this differentiates her from so many of her comic counterparts which simply have leaves for coverage. 


4. Killer Croc
An absolutely beastly character design was made for this character and I would love for Mcfarlane to give us their take on it. Killer Croc looked like a true monster, not just a man with a skin disorder, and his focused mission in the game for sure stands as one of the eeriest and scariest portions of the entire series. An opening jaw would be a must as well!


3. Bane
Mcfarlane is already dipping their toes into Bane territory with their figure based on the Last Knight on Earth, but I'm hoping they remain in the Bane pool for a little while at the very least to give us this beastly take on the character. This could even be a candidate for a BAF of a Arkham game wave! It isn't just a couple tubes that are shown running Venom through his body, this design of the character carries an entire generator on his back it feels like, and while his time in the game was short it was always one of my favorite boss fights.


2. Harley Quinn
I've talked about this take on Harley Quinn a couple times already in other lists, but in such a Harley Quinn focused DC Comics world these days, this still remains my favorite take on the character. I love the design first off, taking the elements of her harlequin motif and mixing it with a nurse's uniform is really unique, and her role in the story as one of the core perpetrators of the Arkham take over solidifies her importance to the game. It has been a while since their first Harley Quinn figure back in January, and this would be my choice for the next figure she receives. 


1. Scarecrow
I know everyone remembers Scarecrow's levels in the original Arkham game, especially his iconic level that seemed to actually crash the player's game for a moment. Such a creative design from the creators of the game, and Scarecrow got an awesome character reimagining to go along with his creative level structure. The sack head, gangly limbs, and ragged pants make for such an eerie looking version of the character. Having the fear toxin needles affixed to his fingers was a stroke of genius as well, and I hope Scarecrow is in the next batch of Arkham figures we get.

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 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...
