Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane DC Multiverse figures based on the New 52 Batman Beyond

Following the Futures End storyline from the New 52 we got a really fun reboot of the Batman Beyond storyline in the comics themselves, canon with everything going on in the universe. It didn't run for many issues; however, was a really enjoyable read and then lead into the Rebirth run. I greatly enjoyed this era of Batman Beyond comics, even if it rewrote continuity a bit from what the end of Futures End set up, and Mcfarlane's surprise wave of figures based on Batman Beyond has got me hoping that even more characters from Beyond's cast will get the figure treatment! So before I get into my top 5 most wanted figures from this comic run, I have first an honorable mention!

Honorable Mention: Gordon's Bat-mech suit
It was great to see the Rookie suit back in action in the comics, and it looked even cooler in Batman Beyond's color scheme! A figure of this suit of armor could serve duel purposes with an easy repaint able to give us the standard Rookie suit as well from the New 52 Batman series. 


5. Inque
Inque was one of the first villains we were introduced too in this comic run, and I really enjoyed her ability to shape shift and the obstacles it put up against Tim as he tried to fight against Brother Eye. Her eventual turn in the storyline, and how the character ended up by the end of that first story arc was a great twist for the character!

4. Micron
A member of the future's Justice League, Micron managed to go uncaptured by Brother Eye for years and helped lead the fight against the AI overlord from Neo Gotham within a begrudged alliance with Batman Beyond. Either as a build a figure or a mega figure I think Micron would be fantastic as another Batman Beyond focused character on the shelf.


3. Brother Eye
While I think Brother Eye's choice to put itself into a more vulnerable humanoid state with no back up anywhere was a bit of a weird choice, I can't deny that the robot form of this big villain looked awesome, creepy, and definitely has potential to make a fantastic action figure!


2. Rewire
Avoiding spoilers for anyone who hasn't read the series yet, Rewire's arc in the comics was something I was actually vey surprised by and when the character had initially appeared I didn't realize how important he would become for the series! His suit was a very cool representation of his cartoon design translated to comic form, and with Shriek and Blight already on the shelf as Batman Beyond foes I think this character would fit along perfectly. 


1. Spellbinder
Speaking of Batman Beyond villains, I would absolutely love for Spellbinder to be made. His black and orange swirled color scheme is very mesmerizing and would look great as a figure on the shelf. not to mention his must have accessory of the floating eye. He was a creepy surprise role in the comic series and one I was very welcome to reading when he appeared!

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

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...
