Top 5 wanted Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron ships from the prequel trilogy

Throughout the Star Wars franchise the prequel trilogy by far has my preferred designs when it comes to the starships and vehicles seen in the galaxy. While ships like Tie Fighters and X-Wings are wholly iconic, I'm still drawn more towards a lot of the Jedi starfighters, Pod racers, and Separatist droid vehicles that we were introduced to in episodes 1, 2, and 3! Jazwares' Micro Galaxy Squadron has already been pushing ahead with a lot of these vehicles, wave 2 bringing in the Republic Laat and Vulture droids, so my hopes are high to see even more of my most wanted prequel ships in the line!




5. Coruscant speeders
As a kid I loved the opening speeder chase through the streets of Coruscant in Attack of the Clones. The exploration of the city planet helped it feel a bit more fleshed out, not to mention the designs of the speeders themselves have always been so aesthetically pleasing! Anakin's yellow speeder with the dual engines is very slick, but has nothing on the pronged, green speeder Zam Wessel piloted which just looks awesome!


4. Naboo starfighter
One of the most iconic starship designs from the prequel trilogy is no doubt the yellow and silver Naboo starfighters from Phantom Menace which are personal favorites of mine as well! I love their slender, pointed designs and they've even made a slight resurgence with their model type being the basis for the Mandalorian's new starfighter!


3. Pod racers
This could encompass its own line in of itself with how many pod racers appeared in Phantom Menace, and it is very easy to say that it doesn't get much more "Star Wars" than pod racing. The race was one of the best sequences in the prequel trilogy and the designs of the pod racing units themselves are just plain awesome and fit the universe so well! Anakin's and Sebulba's are both the obvious choices to include in the line to start with, possibly even in a racing two pack!


2. Separatist units
The droid army is another component of the prequel trilogy that I feel was a genius addition to the lore of the Star Wars universe! The Separatists' machines of war make up some of the coolest vehicles in the universe too which we are jumping into with the Vulture droid and AAT for wave 2! There are so many awesome units I'd love to see next from Hailfire droids to the MTT to the NR-N99 enforcer; I'll take them all!


1. Grevious' wheel bike
Another awesome sequence from the prequel trilogy saw Obi Wan tailing Grevious' through the sinkhole cities of Utapau! The wheel bike that the droid general used is something that Jazwares could do so much with when it comes to the sheer sculpting detail of the wheels itself, to the fact that the vehicle had legs as well that unfolded to give the vessel more mobility!

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...
