Top 5 most wanted Studio Series Bumblebee movie figures vol 3

Next year is going to be huge in terms of Hasbro giving the Bumblebee movie a lot of love in the Studio Series line! We've gotten a decent display already from the most recent film in the franchise, seeing multiple versions of the primary bots in the film being put out as well as a bit of delving into the famous Cybertron scene with characters like Cliffjumper and Thrust! Well, the display is about to get a heck of a whole lot bigger because Hasbro has revealed in one big swoop that we will be getting Brawn, Wheeljack, Ratchet, Ravage, and Soundwave in the first 2022 wave of figures! They all look fantastic and just like they've jumped off the screen, and with all of these characters upcoming, and the focus very surely on Bumeblebee's solo film right now, here's the figures I hope follow closely after!

5. Camaro Bumblebee
This could be a really interesting remold to get and in terms of actual designs from the movie it was neat to see the more squat, round interpretation of Bumblebee from the solo movie mashed up with the original 2007 design in order for him to turn into that recognizable clunker Camaro! It is one of the only Bumblebee's that we haven't gotten from the movie universe yet either, so I'm sure it is more a question of when Hasbro will put this out.


4. More Seekers
With Starscream there was pretty much the expectation that we would be getting some Seeker repaints afterwards to capitalize on the Seeker gimmick as always, and that proved true when we got Thrust who was for sure not the one I would have guessed would come first but I'm so happy to have! This almost guarantees as well that we should expect others like Thundercracker and Skywarp in the future of the line to go along with these two fantastic figures!


3. Ironhide
Speaking of repaints, as well as I saw the great, screen accurate looking Ratchet I felt a feeling deep in my gut that not long after we get that figure Ironhide will be on the horizon! Both shared a body type similar to G1, and with all that's needed being a fresh coat of paint and a new headsculpt I'm sure this easy release will be pounced upon quick to reuse such a unique mold in the line! 


2. Bigger Shockwave
Up to this point in the line I have felt that Studio Series has closely adhered to the rules of scaling and making sure characters stand up to one another similar to how they do in the films these figures are based on, with Hasbro themselves even stressing scale as important. Why in the name of the Allspark then is Shockwave the same size as Ravage? This choice makes absolutely no sense, as each scene the character appears in in the movie clearly depicts him as standing on the same level as characters like Starscream and Soundwave who are voyagers in the toyline! Shockwave is one of my all time favorite Decepticons and I hope that his Bumblebee movie incarnation gets another release at a larger scale in the line, because he surely needs it.

1. Arcee
Aside from Ironhide, Arcee stands as the last Autobot seen in the opening Cybertron sequence who needs to be realized in the toyline! As brief as their appearances were, I really had a lot of fun seeing these characters pop up in a mix of their live action and G1 forms, and I'm extra interested in seeing how Arcee's more slender, rounded design is made to transform into any kind of vehicle mode. With us now being so close to finishing out this opening scene, hopefully it won't be long until Arcee joins the ranks alongside others like Brawn and Ratchet.

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

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...
