Top 5 wanted Justice Society characters in Mcfarlane's DC Multiverse

Image
  (Image Source) The Justice Society is one of my all time favorite corners of the DC Multiverse and I've been over the moon for Mcfarlane to be delving into them at least a little bit with Jay Garrick and Alan Scott so far! A lot of people have also been including the figures from their live action debut in Black Adam to an overall Justice Society display, but the comic world boasts so many iconic and stand out characters from the team that I sorely hope get to be produced in action figure form again soon! So with a solid foundation to the team started, here are my next most wanted Justice Society figures from Mcfarlane! Honorable mention: New 52 Earth 2 (Image Source) While never strictly called the "Justice Society," it was clear that for the New 52 that is what this world was. Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, Sandman, Hawkgirl, this was the Justice Society reimagined for a new generation and a brand new world. While very different from the Justice Society we were used to, I r

Top 5 wanted DC Multiverse figures based on the Infinite Frontier The Flash

Image
(Image Source) With the Flash comics about the reset to issue 1 again for the Dawn of DC labelling, I think it is high time to take a quick look at the Infinite Frontier branding of the comic series and countdown my most wanted figures from the era of Flash comics that has brought Wally back into the fold as the primary Flash in DC Comics. Fun is the simple word I can use to describe this run as a whole, with a ton of goofy, smile-worthy moments interceded by very dire threats and impactful storyline that helps Wally's comics feel distinct from Barry's. With plenty of great heroes and villains to run through, these are my top 5 most wanted figures from the Infinite Frontier Flash series! 5. Wally West (Image Source) Starting off the list will be Wally himself, wearing a suit very similar to the one he wore before Flashpoint reset everything. I honestly do prefer his Rebirth look a bit more, but the classic feel of this one can't be ignored with the cowl that comes over his

Top 5 most wanted Hammond Collection figures from Camp Cretaceous

Image
(Image Source) Mattel's Hammond Collection line have been digging through the live action films in the Jurassic Park/World franchise with plenty of popular choices as well as very left field picks like the Metriacanthosaurus! Not to mention some straight up wild choices like Irritator that have no film references! One outlet from the franchise that I would like the toyline to start touching upon next would be the Camp Cretaceous tie in television series, one that had its own huge cast of dinosaurs that we didn't get to see in the movies, and those will be the dinos I will focus on for this list. While creatures like Spinosaurus and Carnotaurus had major roles in the series, they were also featured in the films themselves and so I'll just focus on Camp Cretaceous exclusive dinosaurs in this top 5 most wanted list! 5. Bumpy (Image Source) Technically this is a species that we have already received in the Hammond Collection, and yet this is such a major character in the televi

Top 5 wanted McFarlane DC Multiverse comic Superman characters vol 2

Image
(Image Source) While not as dug into as the Batman universe of characters, the Superman comics are a universe that Mcfarlane has focused on heavily, especially this year! We've gotten numerous Supermen from across the comic history, we got a Jon Kent, finally received a comic Supergirl figure, and as of late our range of Superman rogues have expanded greatly with Atomic Skull, Mongul, Doomsday and beyond! There's so many more supporting characters from Superman's time in comics that I'd love to have as action figures from Mcfarlane's DC Multiverse line, and this is my newest top 5 countdown! 5. Super-Man of China (Image Source) With the Rebirth era of DC Comics a new Superman character was introduced for his own solo series by the name of Kenan Kong, a Superman of Asian descent who sadly hasn't appeared as often in more recent times. I really enjoyed his comic series and his partnerships with the Justice League of China, as well as the design of his suit, especi

Top 5 most wanted Transformers Studio Series Fall of Cybertron figures

Image
(Image Source) Hasbro have gone out of their way to state that they are only doing figures from War For Cybertron currently as opposed to covering both games in in the War/Fall videogames from High Moon Studios. They even went so far as to state that the Cliffjumper figure is based on the War For Cybertron Nintendo DS source as opposed to clearly being the Fall of Cybertron headsculpt. Hasbro has stated though that they hope to hit Fall of Cybertron eventually though, with a lot of characters from the game ones they want to make. Fall of Cybertron is many fans' favorite out of the game series for the cool characters introduced in the second installment, and a lot of those characters are what will make up my list of top 5 most wanted Studio Series Fall of Cybertron figures! 5. Dinobots (Image Source) The Dinobots were a huge addition to the game's roster and some of the funnest levels to play as you shredded through enemies as Grimlock! The only reason this group is falling lowe

Top 10 most wanted Star Wars the Black Series figures vol 5

Image
(Image 1 Source)   (Image 2 Source) The Star Wars Black Series line from Hasbro seems to go through highs and lows of releases, but it seems like we're hitting another of those high periods and it seems high time as well that I bust out another countdown list of my most wanted figures in the line! Since I last took a look at the collection Hasbro has delivered on a lot of the characters I wanted most in the line with Saw Gerrera, Droidekas and Super Battle Droids coming soon, lots of Jedi, the Dark Trooper, Bad Batch Echo, Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka, and more! We've gotten a few more shows with Andor, Mandalorian season 3, and the currently running Ahsoka, as well as all the past movies that built up my childhood, so with the collection growing as much as it had recently this is my newest rendition of my top 10 most wanted Black Series Star Wars action figures! Honorable mention: Kino Loy (Image Source) One of my absolute top favorite characters to come out of the Andor series

Top 5 most wanted Transformers Movie Masterpiece figures vol 2

Image
(Image 1 Source)   (Image 2 Source) Hasbro's Transformers Movie Masterpiece line has continued to put out some near perfect versions of the live action film characters, and at this point have nearly rounded out completely the cast of the 2007 film! Bonecrusher is upcoming at the end of this year which I couldn't be more excited for, and in previous years we got both Ratchet and Blackout, checking them off my list as well! For my updated list of Movie Masterpiece figures I want made I will also be taking the Constructicons off as overall it is an unrealistic hope for the Masterpiece line which releases so few figures a year. These are my top 5 most wanted Transformers Movie Masterpiece figures vol 2! 5. Clunker Bumblebee (Image Source) While every character from the 2007 film is nearly accounted for, there is one alternate design for one that hasn't yet been jumped upon. Bee's original design before upgrading himself into the modern Camaro is one the line could easily im
