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

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!




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.


4. Scarecrow
Featured heavily in the Gothtopia storyline in particular, Scarecrow had plenty of stand out appearances throughout the New 52 Detective Comics series. He has always been a favorite of mine amongst Batman's rogues gallery, and a more standard Scarecrow would be welcome at this point after several stylized versions from Mcfarlane.


3. Poison Ivy
Another long time Batman villain, this time one who has yet to make any kind of debut in the line from Mcfarlane. I love the agriculture motif of this character and I'm sure Mcfarlane could do sculpting wonders with her costume if Swamp Thing is anything to go off of. Her manipulation of Clayface was one of her storylines in this run that stood out to me most, and we've already got Clayface in the collection to put her with.


2. Penguin and Emperor Penguin

I very much enjoyed how much Penguin was involved in the earlier storylines of the run which featured some fantastic art! Penguin's look is pretty consistent across comics so I'd really be happy with any comic book iteration of the character they put out, just so long as it checks the boxes of a top hat, umbrella, monocle, and pointed nose! Another Penguin from this run of comics would have to be Emperor Penguin which was an epic transformation to see Penguin's right hand man Ogilvy push up through the ranks into leader of the gang in Penguin's absence. His eventual showdown with Batman was one of my favorites from this series!


1. Batman - Standard suit, Herbicide suit, issue 24 Armored suit, Jim Gordon, Gothtopia suit

It isn't a Batman comic without plenty of snazzy costumes for Batman to patrol in, and there are four in particular from this series that I think Mcfarlane could do great things with! The standard New 52 Batman suit is an obvious one that would give us another standard Batman on the shelf, with his orange herbicide suit being a fun variation on his costume similar to the Hazbat suit we got from the Amazo Virus storyline! Along with those two I would love the armored suit he wore to go up against Wrath in issue 24, Jim Gordon's Batman suit, and taking one look at the Gothtopia it is clear that it would make for a cool figure that would stand out against other Batman figures thanks to its white coloring!

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 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
