Top 5 most wanted Transformers Shattered Glass figures

Another subline that started during Hasbro's War For Cybertron toyline trilogy that is still going to this day is the new IDW based Shattered Glass collection! Starting with a two pack of Optimus and Ratchet, Hasbro has settled into releasing groups of five Shattered Glass figures which all come with an accompanying comic set in a new Shattered Glass universe which I've greatly enjoyed! Our first set of five gave us Starscream, Megatron, Goldbug, Jetfire, and Blurr, and we're now partway through the second set! Ultra Magnus, Slicer, and Blaster have all joined the collection, and with two more figures to be revealed, and a whole new set of comics coming soon in the future, these are the top 5 Shattered Glass figures I hope to see in the line!




5. Prowl
Built up as one of the three Autobot despots ruling Cybertron in the present day storyline, Prowl hasn't actually gotten to do much yet but his importance speaks to his necessity as a figure! He was one of the main influences behind Goldbug rising up against Optimus, and it seems as though Prowl has some big plans in terms of trying to take control of the Titans for himself! Hasbro really loves reusing that Prowl mold as well, so this'd be another easy win for them!


4. Rodimus Prime
I haven't read any of the original Shattered Glass stuff; however, I want to and one of the designs from it that has really stuck out to me over the years was Rodimus! Cast in a black and purple color scheme, this version of the character looks absolutely wicked and we now have a new, fantastic Rodimus figure to be used as the basis! Plus that headsculpt with the handlebar moustache is perfection for a Transformer!


3. Insecticons

I was very excited to see the Insecticons make their debut in the IDW Shattered Glass series, and a very cool detail was casting them out of their Diaclone color schemes! This could be a great way to get Zaptrap, Shothole, and Salvo into the line as well as make excellent use of the newer Insecticon molds coming our way! Venom's appearance in the comic was very welcome as well, and between this repaint and his typical color scheme there are already multiple uses if Hasbro gives us a brand new Venom!


2. Thundercracker and Skywarp

Seeker repaints will never end, and these would be two more to throw onto the army of Decepticon lookalikes! Thundercracker in particular would be a stunning figure simply for that insane color pallet based on his original Action Master figure! All of the loud, clashing colors is unlike anything else we've had for Seeker figures in recent years and I'd buy it in a heartbeat! Skywarp's wasn't as flashy of a color scheme, but his role in the comic as the first of Goldbug's savage executions prior to the Insecticon slaughter has him high on my list as well.


1. Soundwave
Just like Rodimus, this is another Shattered Glass design that I like a lot and I love that it has been kept as intact as a lot of other Shattered Glass designs in this new IDW universe! The brighter colors definitely make him stand out compared to the standard Soundwave, along with his role as the Decepticon morale officer running the radio show! With the higher price of the Shattered Glass stuff I think they could easily throw in Ravage as a bonus, but the thing I'm most excited for would be that sweet headband!

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 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 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
