Top 5 most wanted Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Black Series figures vol 3

Return of the Jedi has been getting a lot of attention and focus from the Star Wars Black Series line by Hasbro as of lately. Whenever we aren't getting something from Mandalorian, Clone Wars, or Bad Batch it seems to be almost always something from the sixth movie in the franchise! We got all of the core trio in their Endor ponchos and outfits, General Calrissian, and finally Bib Fortuna as well! Not to mention the freaking Rancor is joining the line as the Black Series' first Haslab project! With that I'm sure that we'll be getting lots more characters from the final film in the original trilogy, and with most of my previous most wanted ROTJ figures now a reality, here is my updated list of most wanted figures from the film!

5. Endor trooper and AT-ST driver

Starting off with trooper territory, these are two that I'm surprised we haven't gotten yet! The Endor rebel trooper would make for another fantastic rebel trooper in the line, with colorful green camo, and the line always deserving more rebels to match the stormtroopers we get. The AT-ST driver is one of the final Empire troopers from the original trilogy that hasn't been created in figure form yet, and I'm hoping that it isn't much longer until they are! I love their helmet designs and the overall coloration of their suits, plus there's the chance that we could even get a whole AT-ST as a larger vehicle similar to the Snowspeeder!


4. Skiff guards
Diving into Jabba's palace territory, which we will see a lot of in this list, the Skiff guards as a whole group are a fun design batch of prune faced aliens. Jabba's been pretty lonely on the shelf ever since he first released, and with the Gamorrean guard a couple years ago and Bib Fortuna finally coming down the line the first real steps towards building out the display is coming to fruition. 


3. Jabba's band and dancers

Two pretty iconic groups from the other films were the band playing in Jabba's palace as well as the group of dancers he had for himself. The Max Rebo band would be a fantastic multi-pack, with all of them being really fun, alien designs! Max Rebo himself would be one of the coolest looking figures on the Star Wars shelf in terms of how much he would draw eyes due to looking like a plump mutant elephant. The dancers skew away from the child friendly side of Star Wars, but would be a great group to collect for long time fans and Oola in particular would be a no brainer addition with the upcoming Rancor!


2. Rancor keeper
If there were any figures that were absolutely vital to the line now that the Rancor is becoming a reality it would have to be the Rancor keeper! I will be stunned if he doesn't turn up as one of the stretch goals for the behemoth, as his scene where he lamented the death of the Rancor was one of the scenes that stuck with me most as a child watching the original movie. With how many guys in brown jackets we get nowadays too, the Rancor keeper in all his shirtless glory would be a welcome change.


1. Nien Nunb
Crawling out of the Jabba's palace display wishlist for the final slot on this list, that title will have to go to Nien Nunb! He is one of the arguably most iconic aliens from the original trilogy and most casual fans can easily recognize him, or at least the fact that he is from Star Wars. He was a really fun partner to have with Lando during the climax of the movie, and becomes even more of a must needed figure now that we have Lando in his General outfit.

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
