Top 5 things I want to see in Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Image
The second Sonic film really delivered on everything fan's love from the games with the introduction of Tails and Knuckles, the Death Egg robot, Chaos emeralds and a general fun time that I greatly enjoyed! I cannot wait for the future of this videogame film franchise, and with two solid films that have been honoring the Sonic games very faithfully up to this point I can't wait to see where they head next! So with all my hopes for the second film having been met, here are a few characters and plot points I want to see explored in the franchise's third film! (Image Source) 5. Amy and Rogue the Bat We already know thanks to the post credit scene that the third film will be introducing legendary Sonic anti-hero Shadow into the mix. Beyond him, with Sonic now having his friend group in place I think it is time to introduce his primary love interest as well. Amy would round out that core cast of Sonic characters from the games and television series, whether Sonic himself would b...

Top 5 Star Wars Vintage Collection characters I want in Black Series

Image
The Vintage Collection's history is much more vast than the Black Series when it comes to Hasbro's different Star Wars lines. It has been around for much longer, and had covered a lot of the Star Wars universe by the time Black Series really got up and moving. While it feels like Vintage Collection can sometimes not get as much movement as Black Series these days, it is undoubtedly still a viable line all its own and gets plenty of characters we're still waiting to see in the Black Series. So with both lines still chugging along strongly, these are the top 5 characters we've gotten in the Vintage Collection that I hope Black Series gets one day as well! (Image Source) 5. Mythrol A very recent addition to the line, the Mythrol is one that I feel is very sorely missing from the Mandalorian shelfs! His appearance in the opening sequence of the show already makes him an iconic character to the series (it helps that his alien design helps him stand out) but then he got to pl...

Top 5 most wanted Transformers Action Masters figures

Image
Action Masters are a part of Transformers history that have been slowly working their way back into modern toylines by way of figures like Slicer and Jackpot! While the original figures were non-transforming figures in the same vein as the currently running RED series, their modern updates have been repaints of normal transforming figures, and the team at Hasbro has said already that they're hoping to bring more and more Action Masters into the present. I am fully okay with that as I love this dive into Transformers history, and there's a few in this list here that I'd love to see updated! (Image Source) 5. Double Punch We get so many vehicle Transformers that anything that turns into an animal hits such a unique sweet spot for me, and with Double Punch turning into a wacky Scorpion with two tails there is no way I could resist it! At one point the name was used for a repaint of Scorponok from Beast Wars which could work today with the recent Scorponok figure, but I'd b...

Most wanted Star Wars the Black Series figures from each Mandalorian season 2 episode vol 2

Image
With Mandalorian season 3 fast approaching with no doubt plenty of new designs coming to the Star Wars world to be represented in the Black Series action figure line, let's first look back at season 2 and with so many great figures being put out at this point (Cobb Vanth, Mayfeld, Ahsoka, and Boba Fett among others) I've got a few more most wanted designs from each episode! (Images Source) Episode 9: Gamorrean fighter This was one of the first designs revealed for the show's second season and it is such a cool take on the Gamorrean species that would stand out compared to the primarily clothed and armored version we got from Return of the Jedi! It would add a great alien presence to the shelf, from a great opening to the show's second season! (Image Source) Episode 10: Frog lady The only one still left from my previous list on this subject, the Frog lady would be another fantastic alien figure to add to the collection! I loved her frog-like design and it would be an abs...

Most wanted Hammond Collection figures from each Jurassic film

Image
The new Hammond Collection line of figures from Hasbro looks to capitalize on everything I've ever wanted from a line of Dinosaur action figures! I am 100% okay with the figures not being 6 inch scale because that means we can get dinosaurs of all sizes and not break the bank or run out of display room too quickly, and so far this first year alone is giving us some fantastic looking Mesozoic creatures from across the Jurassic Park franchise! We're checking off classics like the T-Rex and Triceratops, but each new film brings plenty of new dinosaurs into the live action film industry, and this list here will break down my most wanted figures from each film! (Image Source) Jurassic Park: Brachiosaurus Being the most iconic and popular movie in the franchise, I shouldn't be too surprised that we've already gotten nearly every on screen dinosaur presented from this first movie! Preorder listings reveal that we'll be getting the Dilophosaurus before the year is out, leav...

Top 5 most wanted Transformers Red series G1 figures vol 2

Image
The Red series from Hasbro has been moving along slowly but surely, acting as a nice companion line to everything else they have going on. I see how non-transforming Transformers wouldn't appeal to the wider crowds, but I personally really enjoy having 100% screen accurate versions of these great characters without the necessity of transformation and hiding vehicle parts. As always, G1 is a big focus and we've gotten a ton of fan favorite characters such as Bumblebee, Shockwave, Starscream, and Galvatron from the 1986 movie which ticks off a lot of boxes from my previous most wanted. The most recent wave was revealed to be bringing G1 Thundercracker into the mix, and these are five more characters I hope to get one day! (Images source) 5. Skywarp With Starscream released it was only a matter of time until the other Seekers were repainted to join him, and that has started with Thundercracker upcoming in the near future. That leaves only Skywarp to fill out the original trio, and...
