Top 5 most wanted updated Transformers the Movie (1986) figures vol 3


The original 1986 Transformers movie remains as one of the most well known and popular piece of Transformers media, and Hasbro is continuing to celebrate this piece of Transformers media within their toylines as more and more classic characters from this film finally get updated figures that in some cases are literally masterpiece level. From my previous list talking about my most wanted figures from this movie, either from Kingdom or Studio Series we now have Galvatron, a Sharkticon, Wreck Gar, and another of the amazing leader scaled Dinobots! I don't expect the G1 figures to stop, ever, and with Hasbro on a role with updating nearly the entire cast of the original movie this is my updated wishlist of most wanted new figures from the film!

5. Coronation Starscream
This would be the easiest figure on the list to make and I'm surprised that it hasn't been done yet, especially with it being one of the most iconic looks and moments from the original movie. Starscream's donning of a cape and a crown as he takes authority of the Decepticons is by far one of the most notable moment's in the character's history, and supplying these accessories for the Earthrise voyager class Starscream would easily achieve this awesome look.


4. Blaster
Ever since Soundwave was reintroduced to the line in Siege, and later again in Earthrise, fans have been waiting for his rival Blaster to be redone in the line as well. This energetic, charismatic music lover was a great addition during the season 2 era of G1 Transformers, and got some stand out moments during the opening scenes of the original movie. His cassettes battling Soundwave's are a scene no fan can forget, and I hope that whenever he gets a new figure his cassettes follow suit.


3. Perceptor
Going along with Blaster is Perceptor who shared a lot of those iconic scenes from the Battle of Autobot city. Beyond that though, Perceptor got to tag along with Magnus and the others as they retreated across the galaxy, taking part in the skirmish on the Junk planet, and the final excursion against Unicron! He was one of the first characters we see at the Battle of Autobot city, scouting out the incoming Decepticons, which is a scene I absolutely loved as a kid.


2. Bliztwing
To be honest, I was surprised that after we got Astrotrain at the end of Siege we didn't immediately get Blitzwing to follow! Blitzwing is easily one of the most popular triple changing characters, and one a lot of fans love! His moment's in the film were short, but growing up I always loved his death chatter, "Come on down, Autobrat!" and how Kup curves his tank barrel to blast an Insecticon instead! It has always been one of my favorite moments from the movie's opening battle, and with Kup and Hot Rod both in the line already I hope to soon finally add an updated Blitzwing as well.


1. Sludge, Swoop, Snarl

Grimlock alone looked miraculous when he was released in the first wave of Studio Series 1986 figures, and now Slug is following suit with an equally exquisite new rendering of the G1 Dinobots! There is no other word to describe these figures other than perfect, and the leader class scaling is exactly where the Dinobots should be! I can only picture of good Sludge, Swoop, and Snarl will look, and with two of the Dinobots made already Hasbro have to be committed to rounding out the rest of the team!

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

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
