Top 5 most wanted NECA Universal Classic Monsters

Neca made a huge announcement recently with the reveal that they would be taking on the Universal Classic monsters starting with Frankenstein's creature! That figure looks incredible with the great sculpt work we've come to expect from Neca, not to mention the eerie black and white visage. They've already teased an image of the Mummy as the next release in this line, and as an eternal fan of these classic monsters I've been thinking about which creatures I hope to see down the line and these are the five I came up with!

5. This Island Earth
The creatures in this movie weren't utilized a whole lot, but their image has still become iconic and practically the face of this more obscure movie in the Universal monsters repertoire. The bulbous, brain-like heads with claws for hands and goggle like eyes all come together to make for a cool looking creature with no precedence in any earthly designs!


4. Wolfman
One of the biggies from the monsters line up is the Wolfman who has been reimagined time and time again for werewolf movies, proving the lasting power and popularity of this kind of character. I'm sure that given all of the fur detail and wolf like features, Neca would be able to knock it out of the park with an awesomely sculpted figure.


3. Invisible Man
One of my all time favorite Universal monsters has always been the Invisible Man, who had an incredible new movie released last year! The classic look of this character is another that is widely recognized in media, with the wrapped head and sunglasses look being instantly attributed to the Invisible Man! One of the possibly best parts of this potential figure is that popping off the hands and headsculpt would then leave you with an unmasked and ungloved Invisible Man without needing interchangeable parts!


2. Dracula
Aside from Frankenstein's creature, this is without a doubt the most famous and well known of the Universal classics monsters! Dracula has been seen time and time again in modern media, with the legend of vampires being an endlessly utilized plot idea. The sweeping cape, the pale features, the slicked back hair, all of these help to make the original Dracula a striking image, and one Neca would no doubt do justice to.


1. Gillman
The Creature from the Black Lagoon has always been my favorite among all of the classic monsters, and I really hope that he is one of the next monsters to be done in this new line! The scale plating of its body, the webbed hands and feet, along with the creepy facial features would all be awesome details for Neca to capture in their line! So far the figures in the line are looking great which is to expected from Neca, and I can't wait to see what creatures are done next by them!

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...
