Top 5 most wanted Hasbro Marvel Legends MCU figures

The MCU is no doubt one of the most successful movie franchises of all time and shows no signs of stopping either. On the action figure side of things, Hasbro's Marvel Legends line continues to grow with each passing year and movie based figures have seemed to become more of a priority than in the past! I've been a huge fan of the MCU ever since the first movie in the series came out with Iron Man, and I couldn't be more thrilled to be getting more and more MCU figures every year! Each year seems to have some kind of set where Hasbro goes back and gives us older MCU characters they missed out on the first time around, and seems poised to do that again this year with the "Infinity Saga" line that Endgame Thor is a part of. So with the past rich of great characters to make, and the future looking equally bright, these are my top 5 most wanted Hasbro Marvel Legends MCU figures!

5. Odin
One of the core characters in the Thor set of movies is one that I'm surprised hasn't gotten figure representation yet. His design was also awesome in most of the movies he appeared in, with a fancy set of armor in some scenes, not to mention the stand out performance from his actor. We're missing quite a few characters from the Thor side of things, and I can't think of a better character to play catch up with than Odin.


4. Iron Monger
The first villain the MCU ever faced, in terms of movie release, was Obadiah Stane's Iron Monger! While the MCU has a reputation of having a villain problem, this first baddie wasn't a part of that and played off as a fantastic foil to Tony Stark's Iron Man in that first movie! His suit of armor he donned in the final portion of the movie would also make for an amazing action figure! Hulking, mechanical, and would probably be one of the largest MCU figures to date!


3. Endgame Hulk
I'm still confused by the fact that Hasbro made a Hulk based on Endgame, but it was just another shirtless version from when they travelled back to 2012. His most iconic look from this movie is his jumpsuit he wore throughout the film's climax, and stands as the figure we're missing most from Endgame now that we're finally getting Thor. Endgame's rendition of Hulk was my favorite characterization for him so far in the MCU, and I hope Hasbro swings around and gives us the better Hulk design for the movie just like they did with Thor.


2. Quicksilver
With WandaVision having highlighted the relationship between Wanda and her brother, there wouldn't be a better time to release a Quicksilver figure with him on a lot of people's minds. I think this character was sorely underused and killed off far too soon, with minimal consequences coming from his death. It would have been so cool to see him in Civil War, possibly on the opposing side of his sister, and seeing him in Infinity War would have been awesome as well. Missed opportunity, but hopefully we can at least get a figure of him soon.


1. Abomination
2008's Incredible Hulk seems to be a movie not many people bring up, and when they do it isn't with the best opinions. I personally really like it though, and Edward Norton's Hulk is still my favorite version of Hulk in the MCU (Though Endgame's Hulk was a great new interpretation). In this slot though I'm focusing on the villain of the movie, the monstrous Abomination whose design lends itself to an incredible action figure with so much potential sculpting detail evident. Just like Iron Monger he would be one of the biggest MCU figures to date if he were to be made, and I hope he is soon!

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...
