Top 5 omissions in Hasbro's Star Wars the Black Series vol 3

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!




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!











4. Super Battle Droid and Droideka
Keeping on the subject of army builders are two iconic designs from the Separatist Alliance! We saw plenty of these droids throughout the prequel trilogy and Clone Wars television show, with the Super Battle droids even showing up in flashback sequences during The Mandalorian! These would no doubt sell like hot cakes, and are an army builder's dream whenever Hasbro gets to them.


3. Wicket

Jumping back to the original trilogy and Endor will be my focus on the character of Wicket. We've gotten two Ewoks in the line already, and neither are Wicket which I found extremely surprising! While not adored by fans, these furry little aliens hold an iconic place in Star Wars lore and chief among them is the most recognizable of their species! With an Endor Gown Leia coming out in the future, bringing the focus of the line back around to Return of the Jedi at least a little bit, it could be time to give us a Wicket to go with her. 





2. Lobot



As many figures as we got for the anniversary of Empire Strikes Back a few years ago, this guy stands out as the sore thumb missing from the Empire collection! Lando's right hand man, and while his design isn't anything groundbreaking in terms of action figure appeal, he is still very much sought after by fans! His headsculpt alone would make him interesting to look at, and he'd be the first step in building out a Bespin display around Lando.







1. Queen Amidala
Ending my list on a prequel era character and design, this is one that dawned on me as a design so iconic to Star Wars that I can't believe we haven't gotten it yet. I've been waiting for more Padme figures ever since we got her in her Geonosis outfit, and with her Phantom Menace Queen dress being one of her most iconic looks, and plastered across nearly all the posters and media, I'd say that even if the prequels don't get as much attention as the rest of the universe it is still an obvious hole in the collection that we don't have this stellar design yet.

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...
