Top 5 wanted Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron ships from Rogue One and Solo

I was one that really enjoyed the two spin off movies we got in the Star Wars universe! The tragic mission of the Rogue One has easily become one of my favorite stories in the whole franchise, while the heist movie Solo is one that that sat with me a lot better than it seems to have with most people. While I feel like a lot of ships these days are overlooked in comparison to the iconic designs of the originals and prequels (barring examples like Mandalorian's Razorcrest) I think a lot of great ship designs came out of these two films! In particular, here are five I'd love to see recreated in Jazwares' scaled Micro Galaxy Squadron line!



5. Han and Moloch's speeders

A good speeder chase through the disgusting streets of Corellia were a great way to start Solo and introduced us to Han's abilities as a driver! The blue of Han's speeder really struck out against the muted colors of his birth world, while the hulking, chortling speeder Moloch utilized seemed like a gas guzzler to the 10th degree! Moloch's speeder would also be an opportunity for 1 inch figurines of Moloch and his dogs to be put out, which are designs I wish got more love from fans!


4. AT hauler

The opening sequences of Solo are no doubt some of my favorite from the film, especially the train heist scene! I've been advocating for a spin off revolving around Beckett, Val, and Rio ever since I saw the movie and the train scene was one of their best, even if it turned out sour for Val and Rio. The AT hauler answered a good question about how those massive vehicles in the Star Wars universe are carted around, but aside from that it is just a cool looking ship with two massive prongs!


3. Imperial combat assault tank

One of the very few vehicles in Star Wars that doesn't move along with legs or hover technology, the tank scene in Rogue One was essentially the centerpiece of one of the film's earliest exciting action scenes in which Saw Gerrera's partisans wage a street level war against the imperial battalion! As we've seen with the Vintage Collection rendition of this vehicle, there are lots of little details to pack in throughout, especially kyber crystal containers which would be a fun play gimmick.


2. AT-ACT and AT-DT

Putting two together again for the second slot on this list, AT walkers will always remain some of my favorite vehicles across the franchise! While it isn't the AT-AT, the AT-ACT are a delightful addition to Rogue One's climax and made the film that much more enjoyable for me! Then, while scarcely seen in the film itself, Solo introduced us to the AT-DT walkers which equate to AT-ST walkers with humongous cannons instead of a "head."


1. Imperial heavy cargo shuttle and U-wing

Two more ships are sharing the top spot on my list and that would be the two primary ships that the Rogue One team used in the movie! This group of characters are among my top favorite characters in Star Wars of all time, with Bodhi being my top pick from the group, and my excitement beyond high for the upcoming Cassian show! Their U-wing fighter was what they used for the brunt of the movie, the sleek and long starfighter carrying them through Jedha and Eadu, but it is the Imperial cargo transport that really stuck with me. It may be because I associate it with Bodhi Rook, and the thought of getting a 1 inch figurine of him to add to my Bodhi collection would be great, but in the end I will buy anything from Rogue One!

Top 5 most wanted NECA Back to the Future figures

Image
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

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 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...
