Top 5 most wanted Hasbro Transformers Legacy Targetmasters and Headmasters

Another section of the Transformers universe that Hasbro has been exploring in full has been the Headmasters and Targetmasters! With the Titans Returns line we actually got a ton of these guys put out, and the continued use of those molds to today indicates that a lot of them are considered by Hasbro to be the best version they're putting out right now. I'd agree that a good deal of them are pretty solid, and seeing them repainted in toy colors for the retro subline last year was a treat. Titans Returns didn't cover them all though, and recently we've cycled through a few more missing members of these groups like Crosshairs, Spinister, Fangry, and most recently Point Blank! I've got five more I'd like to see in the future though!





5. Needlenose
Poor guy, he has shown up on multiple fan votes and lost out to other characters. Hopefully Hasbro just goes ahead and makes him at this point, as other fan vote losers have ended up being made as well. With Point Blank coming with his Targetmaster I'd be interested to see if Needlenose would come with Sunbeam and Zigzag; however, two whole Targetmasters may be enough to bump Needlenose up to Voyager or exclusive territory.


4. Landfill
I've always loved the Constructicons, and by extension I think that has come to include any Transformer who turns into Construction equipment. Landfill fits that bill, but comes out as an Autobot which is feel isn't common aside from bots like Grapple and Hauler who also become Construction vehicles. 


3. Quickmix 
Another Autobot Construction vehicle, and a mixing truck at that point which is a really unique vehicle mode for Transformers in the grand scheme. I am also really digging the red and white color scheme for this character, and the crazy design scheme of the mixing barrel becoming most of the robot mode chest! 


2. Horri-Bull
With Fangry having entered the line last year, the stage is set for his two wave mates from his original release to join the line as well, who also starred in the original commercial appearance for their toys. Horri-Bull has an incredi-bull name and I will never get tired of Transformers who have really unique alt modes so bring on the bot who turns into a bull!



1. Squeezeplay
And speaking of bots with unique molds, Squeezeplay becomes a literal monster. There's a lot of reminiscent design choices from characters like Blot, another really fun Transformers with a very different kind of alt mode. A lot of the Decepticon Headmasters had the tendency to transform into various creatures, and Squeezeplay is one I'd happily add to the group!

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
