Making a splash is Warner Bros own attempt at a Super Smash Bros title and I'm really excited to get my hands on it to play! Multiversus looks like a ton of fun so far with an incredibly diverse cast of characters from across Warner Bros' film archive with promises of plenty more to come! With choices ranging from Superman to Shaggy to Arya Stark, it is clear that Multiversus is digging into whatever Warner Bros content they can find and I've got a few particular favorites I hope to see next! (Image Source) 5. Godzilla and King Kong While I haven't been able to find any gameplay yet to see how he will actually work in the game, I am pumped to see the Iron Giant and with the recent media buzz Godzilla and King Kong have been getting from the Monsterverse I'd be surprised not to see them added to the roster in the game as fellow humongous characters. They're even being featured in Call of Duty, so adding them to Warner Bros own game shouldn't be a stretch.  (I...

A lot of the 2.5 inch Sonic line from Jakks Pacific has been smaller versions of characters we've gotten from the 4 inch line; however, they've also produced several figures in this scale that go along with the 4 inch figures like Chao and multiple Badniks which I've really enjoyed! When it comes to the classic versions of characters I think the 2.5 inch line works better for them as well, and I'm very happy to see it pumping along as heartily as its larger scale counterpart. These are my most wanted 2.5 inch Sonic figures from Jakks Pacific! (Image Source) 5. Ray the flying squirrel A character who had appeared on my most wanted 4 inch list, Ray meets the same checks here as he does for me wanting him in the 4 inch line. We have both Sonic and Mighty themselves in the 2.5 inch line meaning a 2.5 inch line would complete our trio from SegaSonic, and having them all in this smaller scale would also better fit the aesthetic of their game appearances from that arcade game ...

The Mandalorian has definitely become the Black Series' bread and butter as of late, and the season 1 cast has only grown in toy form with the Client, Death Watch Mandalorian, Zero, Fennec Shand, and a future season 1 Mayfeld all becoming a reality from my last list.  (Image Source) Episode 1: Mythrol When looking at the breadth of characters still left to do from the Mandalorian tv series, the Mythrol seems to be becoming more and more of a higher priority character as other designs and figures are released. He was one of the first characters we were introduced to in the series which instantly makes him a classic, and his return in season 2 only further cements our need for this cool alien bounty.  (Image Source) Episode 2: Offworld Jawa elder A army builder for the line that could easily re-use a lot of pre-existing tooling from the current Offworld Jawa, the Elder is one that has been released in the Vintage Collection already giving us a good idea of what an eventual Black...

There's some really obvious characters and designs from the Star Wars universe that I'm very surprised we haven't gotten in the line yet! We've been getting a lot of those characters such as Saw Gerrera, Boba Fett and Ahsoka from The Mandalorian, as well as Echo from the Bad Batch to finish out the team; there still somehow always seems to be more big characters that have yet to be introduced to this nearly 10 year old line at this point! (Image Source) 5. Endor rebels For a long time all we were getting were Stormtroopers and Clone troopers, and then we got the release of the Fleet Trooper who was followed soon after by the Hoth rebel trooper, adding to the ranks of the rebellion and filling out two big designs from the original trilogy. The last big rebel army builder design remaining from the original trilogy now is the Endor rebels! (Image Source) 4. Super Battle Droid and Droideka Keeping on the subject of army builders are two iconic designs from the Separatist Al...

The Autobots have had a field day in the Studio Series line with how many we've been getting, primarily attributed to nearly every opening scene Autobot from the Bumblebee movie getting fantastic figures! Not to mention that the 1986 figures keep rolling with Perceptor and Sludge now accounted for in the collection, and my boombox Blaster coming to us by way of the Legacy line. From my previous list we've even checked off the High Octane AOE Bumblebee, though it is just a lackluster, very disappointed rerelease of the subpar Age of Extinction toyline deluxe.  (Image Source) 5. Crosshairs Coming up first on my next most wanted Autobots from the Studio Series line would be Crosshairs, one of the new Autobots introduced to us when the series underwent its soft reboot. His design has been a tough one for Hasbro to nail down in the past thanks to his "trench coat," however, with the toyline somehow figuring out a way to do a decent Galvatron figure I think they can finally...

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...

Jakks Pacific has worked their way past a lot of the A-tier, well known Sonic cast and have been jumping into more of the supporting cast of the series which I am all for! Characters like Mecha Sonic from Sonic 2 and the upcoming EggRobo have been so exciting to have in the line, and there's plenty more I hope to see on the horizon! (Image Source) Honorable mention: Big the cat This is a character I'm sorely hoping to see sooner rather than later in the line; however, by the way things are going he made end up being made significantly out of scale similar to Eggman. I love Big, and while I do want a new figure of him from Jakks Pacific I know it will be very odd looking if he is the same size as Sonic and the others, worrying me for when he one day joins the line. (Image Source) 5. Ray the Flying Squirrel A much smaller time character in the Sonic cast, Jakks Pacific have already shown that this character is on their radar by producing a plush based on him! With Mighty in the l...
