Top 5 most wanted Studio Series Bumblebee figures vol 2

Bumblebee continues to be one of the big stars of the Studio Series line of movie based Transformers figures from Hasbro. Since I posted my first article discussing the Bumblebee figures I would like to see most in the line, we've now gotten 3 out of 5 of those choices with the Modern camaro Bee getting two figures, based on both the 2007 and ROTF movies, and Bumblebee in both his jeep and Cybertronian alternate modes from the Bumblebee movie. While the focus of the line right now seems to be heavy G1 inspired, I have no doubt that live action figures will continue to be a presence as well and this is my updated list of my most wanted Bumblebees in Hasbro's Studio Series.

5. More accurate VW form
Technically we've already gotten Bumblebee in his primary VW bug mode from the Bumblebee movie; however, that figure is based on some early concept art leading to the figure not exactly being as accurate to the film as it could be. Namely, the door wings on the back should not be present at all. While Studio Series hasn't shown precedence for redoing designs they've already pumped out, I hope that this Bee does get a redo now that the movie has been out for a while. 


4. Age of Extinction
His primary look from AOE is one of the most significant looks for Bumblebee in the movies that hasn't yet been accomplished in figure form. With it, he became much more slick and streamlined than he had been before. With Stinger being in the line from wave 1, and so many AOE villains being pushed out as well, this version of Bee would go perfectly into the display.


3. Dark of the Moon
With the 2007 modern Camaro Bumblebee being retooled pretty awesomely into the Revenge of the Fallen design, it makes me now hope that we see his third movie appearance pop up in the line as well! This time around Bumblebee's chest had gotten another bit of a redesign to make him look even cleaner, and if they wanted to pack in another character of some kind there is plenty of heroes to choose from, or the miniature pink Bumblebee form Laserbeak took on would be fun!


2. Bumblebee movie ending scene
While the clanker Camaro known from the original 2007 movie became Bee's alternate mode at the end of the Bumblebee movie, his robot mode bared little resemblance to that 2007 design. He still retained his rounder, stockier frame albeit now with the Camaro kibble replacing his VW portions. We didn't see this form get a whole lot to do, but we will surely get to see more of it in the sequel and it is a cool blend of this newer movie's design with the 2007 interpretation.


1. Age of Extinction disguised mode
I've come to appreciate this design a lot more in recent years and I'm really hoping to see it soon in the Studio Series line! Not only is his car mode really cool, with a heavier influence of the black colors offering such a new color pallet for the character, but his robot mode looks awesome as well. I can see it being an easy retool of the existing Camaro mode figures that already exist, but one way or another I hope we soon get this short lived design in figure form once again.

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...
