Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane DC Multiverse Flashpoint figures vol 2

DC's Flashpoint event remains one of the most pivotal moments in the entirety of DC's comic history, and one of the most popular as well! Mcfarlane has already embraced this storyline with the inclusion of the Flashpoint rendition of Batman in their first year of figures, and while not specifically billed for the storyline we've also gotten The Flash and Reverse Flash who fit in nicely with any Flashpoint display! There's so many more great designs from this storyline that deserve to get updated figures, and in this list I will be counting down my top 5 most wanted DC Multiverse Flashpoint figures vol 2!



Honorable mention: White Lantern Abin Sur
Out of all the supplemental material for the Flashpoint world I really liked the Green Lantern story revolving around Abin Sur a lot! Seeing him become a white lantern in the story was an epic moment, and would make for a fantastic figure on top of Abin Surs not being very common in the action figure world either.



5. Joker
We've gotten lots of Jokers in the line already, many of them with wildly differing designs, but this one would still stand apart from the rest as the Joker in the the Flashpoint world is actually Martha Wayne! It was a great twist and one of the most memorable differences in the Flashpoint world, and one that would go great in figure form alongside the Batman we already have!


4. Captain Thunder
Shazam is usually known for being more carefree and fun loving, so seeing him become the persona of "Captain Thunder" with a much more grim, grizzled appearance was a change up and one that totally worked for this alternate timeline! 


3. Wonder Woman
I'm a huge fan of Wonder Woman's armored look from the Flashpoint storyline, and she is one of the principle players in the whole event! The entire alternate history that unfolds between her and Arthur was very compelling to read about, making her one of the must haves when it comes to Flashpoint figures! The yellows and grays are a big contrast to her usual color pallet, and the full on helmeted look is another switch up.


2. Aquaman
We actually came close to getting an updated version of Flashpoint Aquaman in Mattel's Multiverse line! There isn't too much going on with the Flashpoint Aquaman that makes him drastically different from the Prime universe's design but what changes there are make him much more grizzled similar to Captain Thunder. I love the black pants, as well as the buzzcut and bruiser face that this universe's Aquaman possesses! 


1. Superman
One character whose designs is extremely different from the usual is Superman! He is another Flashpoint character whose alternate life is well known amongst fans, having landed in Metropolis as a baby and being taken by the government for experimentation! His story is so tragic within this alternate timeline, and I loved seeing his role play out. The scrawny, emaciated design is such a far cry from what we usually think of with Superman, and this would be one design that so far hasn't gotten an 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...
