Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane DC Multiverse figures based on each media type


When it comes to Mcfarlane's line of DC Multiverse figures he has been pulling from all branches of media which I really like. While the brunt of the figures being produced are comic book based, that hasn't put other types of media off the plate as we've gotten a steady stream of characters as well from live action movies, videogames, tv shows, and animated media! It really makes it feel like a DC Multiverse of a line, with the potential for any character to be made into an action figure! With this approach clearly established, I thought about each of these media platforms and which characters/designs I want most from each, with these being my ultimate picks! With this post I'm also celebrating my 600th post on this blog which is an absolutely insane number to have reached! I'm happy to celebrate that milestone by talking about Mcfarlane's DC line, which is definitely the kind of toyline I've been waiting for when it comes to DC's vast universe!






Movies: Man of Steel General Zod
I've talked this design to death and I'll be talking about it again here because I absolutely love the rendition of General Zod we got from the Man of Steel film, and his armor would translate through into an awesome figure! I would even jump for a flight suit Zod as well if Mcfarlane wanted to re-use the Justice League Superman we got; whatever to get me a Michael Shannon Zod on my shelf!

Comic books: The Crime Syndicate
All these evil Batman figures and not even an Owlman? With the New 52 storyline Forever Evil, the Crime Syndicate immediately became some of my favorite comic book villains ever! They were scary, threatening, and became more of their own characters rather than just evil versions of the heroes. Characters like Ultraman and Johnny Quick would make fantastic figures in Mcfarlane's toyline, and the inclusion of new Syndicate members like Deathstorm and Atomica were welcomed as well in the series. The Earth-3 Shazam may trump all of them though in terms of my most wanted from their world, as Mahzas was incredible as a villain.


Tv shows: CW The Flash
In the very first wave of Mcfarlane's DC line ever we got Green Arrow based on the CW show! Since then, nothing. We even got a return to the animated figures already which shocked me, as you can still find the figures from Jan 2020 on shelves at store! The CW is rich with superhero designs to be produced as new figures, and my immediate choice right now to be made would be Flash from the series of the same name! While the quality in recent seasons have definitely been declining, those first few seasons had me in love and I'd still buy a Mcfarlane CW Flash in a heartbeat.


Animated: Teen Titans
While we've had a return to the animated Justice league figures, there has been no signs of life on the Teen Titans animated front! Cyborg seemed to be the one animated figure that actually sold really well so this surprises me, and I hope that we get the rest of the Teen Titans soon because I was very excited to put together this cast with great action figures! Cyborg along shows the potential of how great this team could be in action figure form, so hopefully he won't be alone on the shelf much longer!


Videogame: Injustice 2 Reverse Flash
I was so excited when Mcfarlane started to delve into the Injustice universe with Grodd and Flash, both of which are fantastic figures! It got me to go back and play through the game again, really look at those designs and characters and think about which ones I'd like to see made as figures next! The design that has run ahead of them all is the Reverse Flash! I adore his design in the game, and while he is just a skin for Flash and not his only uniquely playable character he still had a very fun role in the story and I cannot stress enough just how much I love his design!

Top 5 most wanted NECA Back to the Future figures

Image
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...
