Top 5 most wanted Star Wars the Black Series bounty hunters vol 2
Bounty hunters are undeniably one of the most iconic parts of the Star Wars universe behind Jedi and Droids. Almost every Star Wars project never fails to include a bounty hunter in their roster, and it seems Hasbro's Black Series line has been steadily picking up the pace when it comes to realizing these awesome characters and designs in plastic form. After finally finishing the line up of Empire Strikes Back bounty hunters, we've now gotten Cad Bane, Aurra Sing, Boba Fett from Return of the Jedi, and Q9-0 from the Mandalorian among others! A lot of those appeared on my previous list of most wanted Star Wars bounty hunter figures, so I've revised that original list and am now releasing my most wanted Hasbro's Star Wars bounty hunter figures vol 2!

The Clone Wars tv show was absolutely rich with bounty hunter characters! From the introduction of the stellar Cad Bane, to the wonderful use of Aurra Sing, plenty of characters from the show are being made into figures lately and I hope that some of the other bounty hunters who appeared follow suit. Embo is one of the more popular designs from the show that I see people talk about, not to mention Latts Razzi and C-21 Highsinger being two really cool additions later on.
Speaking of Clone Wars era bounty hunters, the show truly fleshed out Boba Fett as a character after his appearance in the Attack of the Clones movie. Even as a child, Boba was a force to be reckoned with and we got several highly exciting arcs and episodes focusing on him as he weeded himself into the Star Wars underworld. I'm giving him his own spot because Boba Fett is deserving of that, and any rendition of Boba Fett's younger years Hasbro gives us I will buy.
Speaking of Boba Fett, I was blown away by his reintroduction in Mandalorian. While he has always looked cool, the original trilogy didn't give him much to do in terms of showing how great he was, but that changed in the Mandalorian because we finally got to see the experienced, older Boba Fett display the prowess and incredible skills we've heard about for decades. I'm astounded that we haven't gotten a figure of this design yet since we're already getting plenty of other Mandalorian season 2 figures, but I can't imagine this is far behind. Boba Fett is one of the most popular characters of all time, his role was one of the most talked about things in season 2, and he is even getting his own upcoming show! The only question is which design they will go with?
In the first list I made about this subject I included Mayfeld's team as one of the slots. We got Zero, who was always tied with Mayfeld as my most wanted from the group, and now I'm really honing in on Mayfeld himself. I absolutely loved Bill Burr's performance as the character, and his return in season 2 was one of my favorite parts of the season! Getting him in his season 1 attire would probably be my preferred choice, allowing us to display him alongside Zero, though his season 2 transport driver disguise would allow us to get both Mayfeld and the transport trooper in the line at the same time. So, Hasbro, why not make both?
The opening chase scene of Attack of the Clones where Anakin and Obi Wan go after Padme's would be assassin is one of my favorite sequences from the prequel trilogy. It was such a great look at Coruscant throughout, and the design of the speeders they used have become nostalgic for me. Zam Wesell didn't get a great amount of screen time in the movie, though many Star Wars characters don't; however, she's made a lasting impression. I really like the colors to her outfit, and a potential figure would need two headsculpts or at least swappable face plates to reflect her morphing ability from the film.
