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

Mcfarlane's current offerings for the Arkham videogame universe have been impressive, and the only game out of the four so far that haven't been touched upon by the toy company is Arkham City. This game is considered by many as the best of the series, and as the second game it really opened up the world with a larger area to explore and a much more expansive cast of characters both good and evil to meet. So with hopes that Mcfarlane will move into this cast of characters, these are my top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane DC Multiverse figures from Arkham City.

Honorable mention: Batman
I'm not sure if this is actually a needed figure or not, as I can't quite discern any big differences for Batman's suit between this game and the first in the series which we have already gotten a figure for. I'm sure that between games something changed, like the utility belt it seems, but on a few looks I haven't found anything major so an Arkham City Batman figure may not be necessary.


5. Ra's al Ghul
One of the surprise parts of the game came from the appearance of Ra's al Ghul and the League of Shadows, with an entire underground location revealed to be in connection with them. Ra's al Ghul is one of the biggest parts of the Batman's background mythology, and getting some training missions under him was a lot of fun in the game and added a new dimension of gameplay to make it different from the rest of the series.


4. Hugo Strange
I haven't seen Hugo Strange get the spotlight like I see a lot of other villains doing, but he got to be the principal villain of Arkham City which I thought was awesome. The design for the character is so simple but I love it as the classic mad scientist, with the round glasses, bushy beard, and white lab coat. I constantly hope to see more of this character in modern media, and getting an updated figure of this character would be awesome for the modern day toyline. 


3. Two Face
While he wasn't a big part of the game, Two Face was one of the first new villains we fought and a great way to open the game with. I would love to see Mcfarlane's penchant for sculpting amazing action figures be put to Two Face and his mangled half.


2. Clayface
An incredible last minute twist brought Clayface to the game with a monstrous boss fight. It was a shocking revelation and as one of my favorite villains from the Batman saga I was thrilled to see him make it into the game! This would surely be one of the biggest figures to come from Mcfarlane if they were to make it, not to mention one of the coolest as this version of Clayface is absolutely menacing.


1. Mr Freeze
Talk to any fan of the game series and they can attest to the fact that the Mr Freeze fight is one of the best in the entire series. A boss who actually reacts and adjusts to the tricks you use to fight him, making it harder and harder as the fight goes on to defeat him as you have to find new tactics. Not only that, but the story of the character is all there too with a deep, meaningful eventual end in Arkham Knight that wraps up this character perfectly.

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...
