Top 5 most wanted Marvel Legends from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

The final film of Marvel's 2022 slate and phase 4 slate overall has come out, and they definitely saved one of their best for last. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was an emotional journey honoring Chadwick Boseman and I think the film's exploration of grief and how we deal with it was fantastic. All of the characters were standout, and Shuri herself has no doubt been elevated ten times as a character fit to wear the Black Panther mantle! Hasbro's Marvel Legend lines gave us a solid offering of designs from the movie, checking off major characters like Namor, Ironheart, and Shuri herself in her Black Panther suit, but there's still a few more possibilities to round out the figure display for the movie...

This character has been building up to something ever since she first appeared in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and I was glad to see Julia Louis-Dreyfus get to use more of her charisma for a larger role in this movie. With so many appearances under her belt already and more to come (Especially in the Thunderbolts film) I'm sure at some point we'll get this shady character in the line. 



4. Queen Ramonda

This is a character who really stuck out to me a lot more in this second film, and I think they used her well as one of the emotional centerpieces. All of Wakandan fashion is striking, but her attire as Queen was always one of the most attention drawing designs in the Wakandan culture, and with her husband already being included in the line as part of the second wave of figures for the first film, it would be fitting to have Queen Ramonda to go along with him.



4. Midnight Angel

A storyline I was not expecting at all was Okoye and her demotion from head of the guard, it was a surprising and dramatic turn that gave us an emotional journey for the character and ultimately got her into one of the coolest designed suits in the film. Shuri's Midnight Angel battle armors didn't get a lot of play, but they were very useful and I hope to see more of them in the future!



No doubt some of the most intruiging designs in the film came from Namor and his people themselves, and Namora and Attuma do a great job translating those designs to figure form. Both are some of my favorite figures to come out of the movie line for Wakanda Forever, and I'm really hoping to round out their trio from the film with a Namora figure at some point!



1. Ironheart Mk. 1

Making her MCU debut was Ironheart, and while the biggest push for her was her Wakanda suit she acquired at the end of the film which has already been made into a figure, I'm actually hoping more for her Mk. 1 suit to be made in the line at some point! It was much more Hodge podge and industrial looking, similar to Tony's Mk 1. suit, and with the character going on to make further appearances in the MCU I hope we at some point go back to get her first suit we saw her utilize.

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...
