Top 5 most wanted Marvel Legends figures based on Hawkeye (Disney+)

Image
Hawkeye just finished up its season on Disney+ and was a ton of fun, and definitely a great way to end the year for Marvel between this and Spiderman! The awesome pairing of Hawkeye and Kate Bishop was a delight, along with the comedic fun of the Tracksuit Mafia and the surprise reappearance of a Marvel Netflix villain beloved by fans! Spoilers ahead for sure, and with Hawkeye and Kate already confirmed to be in the pipeline for release next year, these are the five supporting characters from their show that I hope to see next!

Kazi Coming in at the bottom is Maya's right hand man and translator for the show, originally portrayed as having a close bond; however, by the end turning out to be out for his own interests with nothing but spite for Maya! His character evolved into more than I was expecting him to, and I find it funny he was still wearing a tracksuit the entire time under his jacket! (Image Source) 4. Maya/Echo Slotting in above Kazi is Maya herself, wh

Comparing Mattel's DC Multiverse line to Mcfarlane's part 3

Image
Continuing the series I started where I take a look at Mattel's DC action figures compared to Mcfarlane's line of DC figures, this will be my third round coming around to compare and contrast the characters that exist in both company's lines! As I've detailed before, I am fully on board for Mcfarlane having the license and think a lot of what they're doing tops Mattel's offerings, though Mattel's figures haven't been without their merits! So with 5 more figures to take a look at, lets compare the past and present with Mattel depicted on the left and Mcfarlane on the right! DCEU face shield Cyborg Both Mattel and Mcfarlane gave us face shield versions of Cyborg based on the Justice League film as variant versions of the main Cyborg figure, and at this point it is easy to tell that the Mcfarlane version is more faithful to what we actually see on screen. I've gone over already how in terms of detailing and sculpt, Mcfarlane tops Mattel's attempt de

Top 5 most wanted silver Power Rangers in Hasbro's Lightning Collection vol 2

Image
Silver rangers are more rare when it comes to Power Rangers media; however, Hasbro has been capitalizing on them in their Lightning Collection line which I know many fans have been supporting! From my previous list of most wanted Silver rangers we now have the tricky Silver Psycho ranger, the In Space silver ranger to finish out the In Space team, and now the Wild Force Silver ranger to start the Wild Force team! Many of the upcoming Silver rangers on this list would mark new teams for the line to delve into, which I'd all about as I'd love each and every one of these figures in my new top 5!

Dino Charge Zenowing was a later addition to the team in Dino Super Charge but a character I really enjoyed nonetheless, especially so that he wasn't a human and non-human Power Rangers are very few and far between! This figure could easily reuse the body mold the Dino Charge rangers have been utilizing so far, and I would die for an unhelmeted

Most wanted Power Rangers from each Zordon era show in Hasbro's Lightning Collection vol 3

Image
Hasbro continues to give a lot of love to the original Zordon era of Power Rangers history when it comes to their Lightning Collection line of premium 6 inch action figures! From my previous most wanted rangers from each show in this era, we've gotten the Ninjetti rangers from Mighty Morphin, Rocky's tonfas from Zeo, and Zhane from In Space which rounds out that team! Putting together these classic teams have been a dream, and I hope that set up further builds with some of my newest most wanted from this beloved era! (Image 1 Source)   (Image 2 Source) MMPR: Red Ninjetti The Ninjetti team of Rangers is actually almost finished! Hasbro has been powering through them, and with two needed to round out the rest of this awesome, unique look I definitely want a red Ninjetti ranger for the display. The Metallic red ranger release greatly improved upon the Rocky unmasked headsulpt, and I think third times the charm could really perfect it, as well as give us another use of this great m

Top 5 most wanted Hasbro MCU Marvel Legends from Black Widow, Shang Chi, and Eternals

Image
With delays upon delays, Marvel's phase 4 movie line up has taken some time to really get going but we're now three movies deep and even with some more recent delays it looks like things are really going to get rolling once again! Marvel Legends on the other front has been rolling excessively hard and not slowing down one bit, especilly when it comes to the MCU figures which I'm a huge fan of! From Black Widow, Shang Chi, and Eternals, the most recent MCU films, Hasbro has very nicely filled them all out with nearly every action figure worthy character from these films being made! That's especially impressive when it comes to the substantial cast of Eternals! Due to the relatively low number of potential figures to be made from these movies I'm lumping them all together into one big wishlist, with this being my most wanted Marvel Legends figures from Black Widow, Shang Chi, and Eternals!

Top 5 most wanted Studio Series Bumblebee movie figures vol 3

Image
Next year is going to be huge in terms of Hasbro giving the Bumblebee movie a lot of love in the Studio Series line! We've gotten a decent display already from the most recent film in the franchise, seeing multiple versions of the primary bots in the film being put out as well as a bit of delving into the famous Cybertron scene with characters like Cliffjumper and Thrust! Well, the display is about to get a heck of a whole lot bigger because Hasbro has revealed in one big swoop that we will be getting Brawn, Wheeljack, Ratchet, Ravage, and Soundwave in the first 2022 wave of figures! They all look fantastic and just like they've jumped off the screen, and with all of these characters upcoming, and the focus very surely on Bumeblebee's solo film right now, here's the figures I hope follow closely after!

Ranking the episodes of Star Wars: Visions

Image
There sadly wasn't a lot of fanfare building up to Star Wars: Visions which I feel like was a big miss by the franchise because some of the stories we got from this ambitious new show were definitely outstanding and rivalled some of the larger movies and tv shows in my opinion! I hope that we get a season 2, and further exploration of these characters going forward (which we're already getting in the form of a book about the Ronan). Looking back on season 1 there were highs and lows, and in this list I'll be ranking what I thought of each episode, as different as they were, in my personal ranking of worst to best!
