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

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

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 nose, and the more classic Flash design, this would be a welcome addition into the toyline for newer fans and long time fans as well!



4. Kid Flash (silver suit)

One of my all time favorite speedster designs from the comics made a surprisingly return as Wallace entered a world where he was the main hero, a world of his dreams, and while the suit didn't return for long I was more than happy to bask in the silver epicness again. This suit ties back into the New 52 run of Flash, and I'm glad to see that in the mind of DC's artists it still exists and hasn't been forgotten! Maybe if Wallace ever grows past his Kid Flash moniker he'll take on the suit in the main timeline?



3. The Rogues

The Rogues as a whole are a group that I've been wanting Mcfarlane to get into for a while, and we've kind of gotten into those waters with the Page Punchers wave of Flash figures, albeit those were wholly new designs not based upon anything from the comics. The Rogues during the time of the Infinite Frontier wave are the most classic we've seen them in a long time, and Heatwave in particular got a spotlight two-part story arc to really give fans more of the character. 



2. Mr. Terrific

Working perfectly as a supporting hero in Flash's storylines, Mr. Terrific was a lot of fun to have in the series and to see more of him as a friend to Wally, as well as lenient employer. The series also gave us a short-lived reappearance of the Terrifics and for that I will be eternally grateful! Mr. Terrific also has a long history as part of the Justice Society during the Justice Society of America run in the 2000s, which is a team I'm more than eager to build out more. 



1. Savitar

The primary antagonist of the storyline that kicked off Wally's return to prominence was one I wasn't expecting! After being thrust through time, Wally is met by the aggressor from the Speed Force, the one who caused his powers to go haywire, someone desperate to take control of the Speed Force itself: Savitar. One of my all time favorite speedster villains made a grand return to modern comics and I audibly gasped when I turned the page to find him emerging onto the scene. While the classic shirtless look for the character is still my preferred design, the robes from his new design look very cool and add to his zealot demeanor as someone "in-tune" with the Speed Force.

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...
