Top 5 wanted Star Wars the Black Series Knights of the Old Republic figures

Image
(Image 1 Source)   (Image 2 Source) Hasbro's Star Wars Black Series line showing more focus to the videogame realm of things has been a ton of fun, especially recently as they have branched into more dedicated new sculpts to gaming characters that have been integrated into the mainline as opposed to strictly all the repaints and retools that typically make up the Gaming Greats Gamestop exclusive line. Zaalbar was a retool that landed in that portion of the line; however, Darth Malek and Bastila Shan have both entered the line as two of the best figures to date, and long before them we had Darth Nihilus and Darth Revan from the Old Republic videogame series as well! These games are by far some of my favorite Star Wars games out there, and I hope Hasbro keeps digging into them with these five picks for my most wanted Knights of the Old Republic figures! 5.

Top 5 next most wanted McFarlane DC Multiverse Green Lantern figures

(Image Source) One of my favorite groups of DC characters to be collecting from Mcfarlane's DC Multiverse line would be the Green Lantern universe characters. The line started delving into them early with characters like John and Hal; however, they've really started digging really deep with several Black Lanterns, Atrocitus, three different versions of Kyle Rayner, not to mention Hal Jordan's Parallax persona, Alan Scott, and the recently revealed Sinestro! We're building out the Green Lantern universe in an awesome way, and these are five more characters I'd love to add to the display! 5. Alan Scott (Kingdom Come) (Image Source) Skewing into Elseworlds territory, we finally got our first Kingdom Come figure earlier this year with Batman (of course) and I hope Todd doesn't leave behind this storyline anytime soon. Superman would be the obvious choice to hit next, but I would love Alan in his mighty green armor that just screams action figure awesomeness! Adding

Most wanted Ant-Man 3 and Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Marvel Legends

(Image 1 Source)   (Image 2 Source) So far this year Marvel has given us the third film in two trilogies, both with varying degrees of success. Ant-Man 3 fell a bit flat, though Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is one of my favorite movies to come out this year! In terms of the Marvel Legends figure representations the Guardians have been the ones to really win out so far between the two with an entire wave and a deluxe figure to their name, while Ant-Man and the Wasp only got part of a Build-A-Figure wave. Both films don't have too many more figures needed to round out the primary casts and characters, and so this'll be my breakdown of my top wanted action figures from Hasbro for these two 2023 films.  5. Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne (Image Source) Throughout the years there have been a couple different designs for these two that could be pulled from, and their adventurous outfits in this movie are now another option to bring one of the MCU's first canonical superhero couples to a

Top 5 most wanted Star Wars Black Series figures based on The Book of Boba Fett vol 2

    (Image Source) While the initial rollout of figures for The Book of Boba Fett seemed limited, the flood gates recently opened and we got several figures to build out the collections for the show including Cad Bane, Cobb Vanth, Krrrsantan, and the Tusken Raider Chief who all are now checked off from my most wanted list. With so many of the major players introduced to the Black Series line at this point this second edition of the list will be focused more towards supporting characters and cool designs! 5. Peli Motto (Image Source) With how many times Peli Motto has appeared in Disney's Star Wars Disney+ Mandalorian universe I'm surprised that she has not received a Black Series figure yet. While not the most action oriented Star Wars character, she's very entertaining while on screen and I'd love for her eventual figure to be packed in with some of her droids!  4. Gamorreans (Image Source) The muscle of Boba Fett's reign of daimo are a pair that would stand out fo

Favorite action figures reveals from SDCC 2023

Image
2023's San Diego Comic con has come and gone, supplying us with a load of awesome new action figure reveals to enjoy from pretty much every major toyline from major toy companies ranging from Hasbro to Mattel to Jazwares! Many of my major toylines that I collect were well represented, with some very exciting news and reveals granted for lines such as Star Wars Black Series and Mcfarlane's DC Multiverse! With time having passed to fully digest everything that was revealed, and make sure I'm not missing anything, I've put together my list talking about my favorite toy reveals from 2023's show! Masterverse Mekaneck (Image Source) As a child I didn't have a ton of exposure to Masters of the Universe, but one character I distinctly remember for some reason was Mekaneck. I'd even go as far as to stretch my neck out pretending to be him on while hanging out with my friends. Mattel has revealed that they're bringing him into the Masterverse line, which is a blas
