Top 5 most wanted Star Wars the Black Series Archive releases

Hasbro's Archive line for the Star Wars Black Series figures have been a great way to get older figures out on the market for more recent collectors! It is how I myself finally got a hold of the ROTS Anakin, and with so many holes in the collection being filled by these rereleases who had reached insane prices on the aftermarket I have a few more choices for what figures I'd like to see rereleased! So with hopes that these older figures will be made available once again, these are my top 5 most wanted Black Series Archive releases!

5. Jaina Solo
Released during the time of Last Jedi, Jaina Solo was a fan vote winner from the Legends continuity who got a brand new figure mashing together what Hasbro though the daughter of Han and Leia would turn out looking like, combined of course with the character's own history. It was a great figure, and one that is a bit harder to come by lately so hopefully Hasbro will release this character again with the new love Legends and the Expanded universe have been getting.


4. Dr. Aphra
Another character hailing from the expanded universe of the franchise, though this time a character whose status remains canon. Dr. Aphra was released alongside her two droid companions, and while I wasn't initially sure how they were going to sell they ended up being hot sellers and have been quite hard to find since then. Her popularity in the comic universe definitely warrants her figure being rereleased!


3. General Hux
While a lot of the sequel trilogy stuff didn't sell out very well, there were a couple of figures that ended up vanishing from availability and one of them was General Hux. While the later movies in the series depicted him more as a punching bag for the other villains, I really liked Hux in the Force Awakens and was disappointed to never have a good chance at his figure, especially since it was based on my favorite scene with him in which he delivers a speech to the First Order before annihilating the New Republic. Photo real would be another plus to releasing his figure again, which I'm all for.


2. Mimban Stormtrooper
Troopers have been on the hot seat in the Archive line recently, and another trooper type that I would really enjoy having available again would be the formerly Walmart exclusive Mimban Stormtrooper released for the Solo movie. The dungy, caped design of this Stormtrooper wasn't all that different from the standard armor but it really drew me in. The Mimban sequence of the movie wasn't all that long, but the aesthetic and atmosphere made it memorable for me and the Mimban Stormtroopers are great army builders for that set up.


1. Senate guard
Initially released in a four pack, the Senate guard is an early precursor of the Royal guards from the prequels that I didn't have a great chance at getting. The other three figures in the set were ones I never really wanted all that much, and finding the figure on its own online never worked for me. Just like the Mimban Stormtrooper this would work as an army builder, and I absolutely adore the blue robes, firearm, and Spartan helmet design it has!

Top 5 most wanted Star Wars the Black Series aliens from The Phantom Menace

Image
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

Top 5 most wanted Mattel Hammond Collection dinosaurs

The Hammond Collection looks to be the collector's dream for an articulated, highly accurate line of dinosaur figures! We're getting lot's of iconic and fan favorite creatures in the line's first year, with more great figures sure to be in the line's future! (Image Source) 5. Pteranodon The version of this dino that we got from the Amber collection was pretty spot on; however, we've got a new scale to work with and so I'm needing myself a new collector's line Pteradon to fit in with the rest of the Hammond Collection we've been building up to this point! I'd be really interested to see if a flight stand would be included as well, especially since stands haven't been utilized up to this point in this line. (Image Source) 4. Quetzalcoatlus A newer dinosaur being introduced into the film series is one who looks epic brought to life! I love the head design of this massive flying beast, and just like the Pteranodon I have no doubt that the wingspa
