Top 5 wanted Mcfarlane DC figures based on the 2019-2021 Batman/Superman comic series


One of the most fun comic series that I've read in a long time has been the 2019-2021 Batman/Superman series by DC comics! It was nothing world shattering in scale, no huge crossovers, nothing really essential to the DC universe in terms of reading (although that end teaser was very interesting), but it was just pure fun with wildly different storylines every few issues that kept me enthralled! It was a great way to showcase random villains of DC's picking, and the friendship between the title characters is always entertaining to read! So with Mcfarlane having already dipped his toes into this series a little bit (Infected Superman and King Shazam), these five figures are my next most wanted going forward!

5. World of Tomorrow Superman and World of the Knight Batman
Yes, this would be just another version of Superman and Batman for the shelf; however, I'll say that when these costumes were first revealed I actually really liked them. The entire ending storyline we got for the series was incredibly meta and fourth wall breaking, and the interactions between the incredibly grim Batman and overly optimistic Superman from these fake worlds was a delight! The shield insignia for Superman is great, and the drawn in wing joints for the bat on Batman's chest really stands out!


4. Composite Superman/Batman
Ok yes, this is another Superman and Batman; however, this would be our first Superman and Batman! The composite version of these characters has been around for a bit in comic history, and made a recent reappearance in this comic series as an AI looking for its true meaning after being created by the titular twosome! It looked awesome, the storyline was fun, and this would be one unique version of both characters for the shelf.


3. Secret Six
We've gotten a start on the Secret Six already with King Shazam, but he is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this awesome group! Blue Beetle has never looked more intense than his Scarab transformation, along with Supergirl's metal redesign, and Hawkman's look as Sky Tyrant being my personal favorite looks from the group! Along with them, Donna Troy joined this short lived group as well, along with an infected Commissioner Gordon!


2. Ultra Humanite
This is a classic villain from the days of the Golden Age and JSA history! I absolutely love the Ultra Humanite as a villain and was so excited when I found out that he was the primary villain in one of the comic's storylines! He looked cooler than ever, with his gorilla form outfitted with new, red cybernetics that gave a rich mixture of colors. Whether as a larger standard figure, or a mega figure, Ultra Humanite would be a really great cut of comic history for the line!


1. General Zod
One of my favorite Superman villains of all time got to appear in the comics series as the second storyline following up from the series' premiere arc! I've really enjoyed him whenever he appeared in the comics, and that goes for this series as well which retained his drive to protect Krypton and all its surviving inhabitants. He is almost as classic as Lex and Doomsday when it comes to foes of big blue, and with his newer armored up look he has had since the start of the New 52 I can say that Mcfarlane would knock it out of the park giving us what might be our first real comic based General Zod action figure!

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...
