Most wanted Black Series figures from each episode of Obi Wan Kenobi (Disney+)

Clocking in at 6 episodes, Obi Wan Kenobi on Disney+ is so far the shortest running Star Wars series; however, one of the best and I really enjoyed it for each episode of its serialized story! We were introduced to plenty of cool new characters, a lot of returning characters from the films and series, and most importantly got a new adventure with Ewan McGregor's Obi Wan that I loved seeing play out! The toyline for the show has grown extremely fast as well with Hasbro wasting no time in producing many of the biggest characters and designs from the series, and with the show now wrapped up, here are my most wanted figures to be made from each episode of the series!
SPOILERS AHEAD





Episode 1: Owen
One thing I was very excited about in the series was getting to know Owen and Beru a bit more as they really haven't gotten to do much in current Star Wars canon. The show wasted no time in giving us more of the Obi Wan and Owen dynamic in the first episode, setting up a clear conflict between the two, and delving more into a character I hope has made enough of an impact now to get a Black Series figure.


Episode 2: Haja Estree
Introduced in the second episode, this fake Jedi helped Obi Wan out during his escape and even stood up to Reva! He played a fun role that interjected a viewpoint on how civilians viewed the Jedi after Order 66, and even got to make appearances during the show's final episodes as support.


Episode 3: Freck
One of the funnest new alien designs from the series was Freck, an Empire sympathizer who tried to sell out Obi Wan and Leia to the first Stormtroopers he saw! We don't see many who are on the side of the Empire from every day folk in the Star Wars universe, making Freck a welcome outlier and a cool looking alien design at that point.


Episode 4: Leia Organa
A surprise main character for the series, Leia was one of the most entertaining characters in the show with her sassy remarks and her courage against characters like Reva. She wore plenty of outfits throughout the show's run (evocative of Padme's constant wardrobe changes) but the most logical choice would be the green outfit she wears while she is on the run with Obi Wan. With the recent release of Omega from Bad Batch it is clear that Hasbro isn't opposed to doing figures of kids from the Star Wars universe, so hopefully we'll soon have a Leia to go along with Obi Wan!


Episode 5: Tala Durith (Rebel)
We've gotten one version of Tala already and it is the version I wanted most, her Imperial uniform being very striking and finally getting a good update to that same Imperial mold Hasbro has been reusing since Krennic. This character's rebel attire would fit right in with the line as well, being the outfit she spends plenty of time in during the series when not undercover for her cause. Her death caught me off guard in episode 5, and with Ned-B already coming to the line this version of the character would pair perfectly with him for that tragic scene. 


Episode 6: Beru
After the first episode I was slightly disappointed that Beru did not get really anything to do while Owen got plenty of screen time; however, with the final episode that changed and we got a great scene in which Owen and Beru do their best to defend their farm from the injured and vengeful Reva. As sweet and docile as she seemed with Owen in the prequel trilogy, we get to see the inner fighter in the show's final scenes and just like Owen, I hope this show was enough to qualify her for a Black Series figure soon!

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...
