Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane My Hero Academia figures

Image
I just managed to catch up on My Hero Academia season 4 and absolutely loved it, this show has hooked me like so many others and to go along with the series I'm enjoying Mcfarlane's output of figures based on this show as well! The upcoming All for One and Aizawa figures both look fantastic, and I'm so excited for him to keep working through the great cast of characters we've gotten to know through the series! Plenty of Class 1A and even the villains have gotten decent representation from the toy line; however, there's still plenty more to be made and some big ones that have made my list here!

Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane DC Multiverse Tales from the Dark Multiverse figures

Image
I have always been a huge fan of What If? storylines and when DC comics started an entire imprint on dark, elseworlds What If? tales I was hooked. The first round of offerings from Tales from the Dark Multiverse were a great load of fun, and I was even more thrilled when a second round of stories was announced and subsequently released. While some of the stories don't quite live up to the promise of a great elseworlds tale, many of them have gripped me and given us twisted, dark multiverse renditions of beloved characters that I would love to see adapted to figure form by Mcfarlane. They've had a penchant with the license to make twisted versions of our favorite heroes, with the Infected Superman and countless alternate Batmen plenty of examples of this. So with the Tales from the Dark Multiverse once again having come to a close, these are my top 5 most wanted figures.

Ranking the Transformers Studio Series Constructicon figures

Image
2020 was a huge year for the Transformers Studio Series line from Hasbro as we finally completed the mighty Devastator! A massive undertaking for the line as one of the most complex combiners the company as ever tackled! Eight whole robots with completely unique designs and different size classes being released across two years, with their combination ports all wholly unique for the most part. It was unlike anything in the way of modern combiners, and as the Bayverse Constructicons are some of my favorite Transformers designs of all time I was more than thrilled to not only get the entire team updated in the line but also to get them in a fashion that allows them to also form the giant Devastator! So with each member now out, here is my ranking of the Studio Series Constructicon team!

Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane DC Multiverse Batman v Superman movie figures

Image
I've recently talked about my most wanted Mcfarlane DC Multiverse figures from both the Justice League film and the Man of Steel movie, and now I'm heading on to one of my other personal favorite movies of the series: Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice. A lot of fans were not happy with this movie, but I really enjoyed it and the more and more I think about the movie I like it even more for the thought put into it. A lot about the movie is misunderstood from what I can tell, like people genuinely thinking Batman and Superman stopped fighting just because their mothers shared a name (that's not the reason, just to be clear), but while I could go on forever explaining the movie I'm here to talk toys! We haven't quite delved into the movie universes with Mcfarlane's line as much as I would like, but hopefully that changes soon and in hopes of that these are my top 5 most wanted DC Multiverse figures from BVS!

Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane DC Multiverse Man of Steel movie figures

Image
When Man of Steel first released in 2013 I wasn't much of a Superman fan, but that changed when I saw a movie that had the special effects to back up his power set, I saw a suit and actor that really brought the image of Superman to life, and I was gripped by the story of Superman discovering his origins and subsequently having to choose between two lives. While I know many fans didn't care much for this retelling of the character, and critics have made it heard as well that they didn't think it was all that good, I personally loved the movie. I can admit some of its shortcomings but I am overall really impressed by the movie and it remains as one of my all time favorite superhero movies of all time. It is one of the prime examples I want to see movie figures in Mcfarlane's DC Multiverse line more, and with hopes that this year brings more than the meager two we got last year, these are my top 5 most wanted Man of Steel movie figures from Mcfarlane!

Top 5 most anticipated upcoming Mcfarlane DC Multiverse figures

Image
Mcfarlane line of DC comics action figures is growing at an exponential rate and while 2021 is only a few days in, we've already had a slew of figures revealed for this year with no doubt many more waiting to be shown. I've mentioned many times how this line has become one of my all time favorite action figure lines and for sure a break out hit of 2020, with the figures improving with every wave, not to mention an incredible choice of characters with awesome designs from all across the DC multiverse which for the most part had never been done in figure form! 2021's line up so far looks to continue that trend, giving us lots of figures who have never been done before, and out of what's been revealed these are my top 5 most anticipated Mcfarlane DC Multiverse figures of 2021!

Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane DC Multiverse figures based on DC Comics' 2020 Endless Winter storyline

Image
2020's Endless Winter event from DC Comics was a lot of fun to read through and getting it all in one month made it extremely easy to read quick and enjoy all at once. With a new storyline came lots of new designs as well as an interesting new villain, and of course things that I would like to see in action figure form. Mcfarlane has shown he has a penchant for doing figures based off of recent storylines, so I'm hoping he took notice of this wintery event and that these 5 figures may be coming in the future! (Image Source) 5. Ancient Swamp Thing I really enjoyed the idea of this ancient Justice League that had formed long ago to combat a threat that the present day Justice League has to face, and one of the designs that I enjoyed most from that era was the Swamp Thing we met. There were a lot of spikes, jagged edges, and bulk to go along with this past version of the character and it'd be really cool to get it as a figure. There was another form of the character revealed l...
