Most wanted Power Rangers from each Hasbro era show in Hasbro's Lightning Collection vol 2

Image
In my eyes, Hasbro's most successful inclusion to the Power Rangers franchise has been their standout Lightning Collection line of 6 inch action figures! I've greatly enjoyed their seasons of the show that have been produced under their banner as well though, with Beast Morphers easily being one of the best in a long time, and Dino Fury another very entertaining step in the franchise's history! The Lightning Collection has been hard at work including both of these shows into their line, with Zoey finally joining the line up of Beast Morphers, and Dino Fury getting started with the obvious Red Ranger. With one team nearly complete, and another just getting started, here is volume 2 of my most wanted Power Rangers from each Hasbro era show! (Images 1 and 2 Source)   Beast Morphers: Steel I'm used to the sixth rangers of the team being one of the first figures we'd get from a team, given that extra members have a nature proclivity to be the more popular choices; howeve...

Top 5 wanted Detective Comics (New 52) DC Multiverse figures

Image
The New 52 era of Detective Comics featured a lot of storylines that I enjoyed a lot, as well as gave us plenty of designs that would look great as action figures from Mcfarlane toys! We've gotten a decent amount of New 52 stuff from Mcfarlane so far, and while this era is a bit controversial among fans I hope we continue to see figures from it; in particular these top 5! (Image Source) 5. Merrymaker One of the new villains invented for this run of comics, the Merrymaker utilized the trauma of his patients to manipulate them into crime to cover up his own criminal activities! His overall design is one that I really enjoyed, and even though we haven't seen really much at all from him after the conclusion of the New 52 Detective Comics, I think he should still have a chance at an action figure.

Top 5 wanted Marvel Legends from Thor: Love and Thunder

Image
Hasbro's Marvel Legends wave for the fourth film in Thor's live action tenure did a great job giving us pretty much all of the big character from the movie; however, there are a few more which would help the display truly feel complete! (Image Source) 5. The other Guardians of the Galaxy If the Guardians are still wearing these variations on their costumes by the time their third film comes out then we will in all likelihood get these versions of the characters in the line but for now all we have is Star-Lord in his post-Endgame attire. We also got Groot but it is primarily a rerelease of the Infinity War three pack figure. There aren't any major changes with the look of the Guardians here, though Mantis' headpiece is one of the most striking. (Image Source) 4. Black and White Thor One of the most visually striking scenes in the film was when they confronted Gorr in his own stomping ground leading to a purely black and white atmosphere only every so often broken up by t...

Most wanted alternate versions of McFarlane DC Multiverse characters vol 8

Image
Mcfarlane's line of DC Multiverse figures continues to live up to its namesake of "multiverse" with characters receiving multiple alternate iterations in the toyline from throughout the history of the DC universe! We've gotten so many cool characters and awesome alternate designs for characters, and with more and more characters coming through there are more and more designs for these characters that I want to see visited in the future! (Image 1 Source)   (Image 2 Source) Kal-L: Infinite Crisis               Hal Jordan: Spectre               Azrael: Knightsend MK 2 Starting off with a few very classic characters and designs from Mcfarlane. The Blackest Night wave is one of my favorite build-a wave that Mcfarlane has done so far and I was very excited for the Superman in the wave to be Kal-L of Earth 2! I'd love to build upon our Infinite Crisis collection with another Kal-L of the living variety to go w...

Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane DC Multiverse Blackest Night figures vol 2

Image
Mcfarlane hit us with one of the best waves of figures he has done so far when he released the Blackest Night wave of figures! Not only did we get a great Kyle and Atrocitus, but the bread and butter of the wave was no doubt the Black Lanterns that are scaring up the display shelf now! Deathstorm, Superman, and Batman look unequally epic as Black Lantern zombie figures from Mcfarlane; not to mention the perfectly timed release of the accompanying mega figure Nekron who I can't wait to add to the display! I immediately need more Blackest Night from Mcfarlane with this first wave proving how well he can handle the decayed, zombified source material! These would be my top choices for who we would get next! (Image Source) 5. More deputy lanterns and New Guardians I'll take more Lantern characters any day of the week regardless of what color they hail from, and there's still so many great characters that need to be brought out by Mcfarlane like Sinestro and Star Sapphire now tha...

Top 5 most wanted Marvel Legends MCU villains

Image
While Marvel's films have certainly boasted plenty of lackluster villains that fans will poke fun at, the franchise has also yielded us some of the best comic book movie villains across the genre! From the likes of Loki to Thanos to Zemo there are plenty of villains to be excited about, and that extends to the Marvel Legends side of things as many times I find the villains often make for the cooler action figures! We've been getting a lot of missed villains in the line in these past years like Iron Monger and Surtur to name two, but there are still a great deal of MCU antagonists that need to make the jump to action figure form! These are five of the baddies I want most!  (Image Source) 5. Chitauri The perfect army builder for the MCU line to delve into, these alien warriors have become iconic in the realm of the movie franchise as the army the Avengers fought in the first movie the team featured in! They have been seen a couple times again throughout the franchise, namely in t...
