Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane DC Retro Batman 66 figures


Mcfarlane recently revealed their line of retro figures based on the 66 Batman series starring Adam West and Burt Ward, and while the figures don't have the articulation or detailed sculpts of the DC Multiverse line it still looks like a really fun set of figures and playsets to collect and put together. The batmobile and batcave additions are fantastic, and the initial figure offerings of Batman, Robin, and Joker are three perfect choices to start off a line I hope will continue! So with the announcement still fresh, these are my top 5 most wanted figures for Mcfarlane's 66 Batman retro line!

5. Mister Freeze
One of the many villains of the series to recur a few times, Mister Freeze was an icy foe with a fantastically classic looking costume. The pale skin, iceman uniform, and frost blaster could bring with it a new level of detail that so far the figures haven't needed in this line.


4. Batgirl
Batman and Robin's dynamic duo was joined during the show's run by Batgirl who was a fun addition to the show and the team overall! I love the purple coloration of the costume, the yellow cape, and getting her would round out the main heroes of the cast!


3. Catwoman
The other primary female member of the cast from the comic books was the villainous Catwoman who appeared several times throughout the show and also got a starring role as one of the villains in the movie for the series! A few different actors took on the role as well, giving Mcfarlane plenty of options to choose from for a reference.


2. Penguin
Another one of the principle villains from the series and the movie, Penguin was wonderfully comic booky with the costume, the voice, and the overall aesthetic of the character! The purple bowtie and top hat are wonderfully in keeping with the camp of the show, and Penguin's typical squat form means a figure from this show could potentially be fudged into the overall DC Multiverse line. 


1. Riddler
This figure is another from the main group of villains from the movie and combined with the other characters on this list it would round out that team of four villains. Riddler, aside from Joker, is by far my favorite villain from the series and I love the translation of the iconic look to live action. My favorite moment from the series as well comes from the movie, in which the Joker is trying to talk sense into the Riddler who is about to launch some missiles; the Joker was trying to talk sense into the Riddler! Haha!

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 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 Jakks Pacific Sonic Badniks vol 2

(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
