Top 5 most wanted Super7 Godzilla figures from the Showa era

Image
(Image Source) I've taken a look at my most wanted Heisei and my most wanted Millennium era Godzilla figures when it comes to Super7's line of figures, and now I'm looking back at where it all began with the Showa era! Super7 has stated that for their Ultimates! line of figures they're starting later in the timeline and moving backwards, so it still may be some time before we see Showa in the line (Millennium still hasn't been touched upon), but the world is full of surprises, and there are plenty of iconic creatures from the original Godzilla era that would look great in the line! So with wave 2 hitting now, meaning wave 5 is up for reveal soon, these are my top 5 most wanted Godzilla Ultimates! figures from the Showa era! 5. Godzilla (Image 1 Source)   (Image 2 Source) The Showa era was where it all started for Godzilla, and the classic designs for the big lizard would look great in Super7's line! As the title character of the franchise there's no doubt th...

Top 5 most wanted Star Wars The Black Series figures based on Ahsoka (Disney+)

Image
  (Image Source) The latest Disney+ Star Wars show has wrapped up and Ahsoka has added another epic chapter to the Disney Star Wars universe. We got what is essentially another season of Rebels, one of the best animated shows from the universe, and it was epic seeing so many of those characters in live action for the first time! Not only that, but we were introduced to plenty of great new characters as well such as Baylan and Shin, and Hasbro's Black Series line has done a fantastic job of really filling out the cast of the series so far! Even still, there are some major characters that Hasbro hasn't touched upon yet, and in this list I'll be counting down my top 5 most wanted figures from the Ahsoka series! 5. Ahsoka (Padawan, white robes) (Image 1 Source)   (Image 2 Source) Being the star of the show I'm expecting that we will get plenty more Ahsoka figures just like we've gotten like four Obi Wan figures from the Obi Wan show and multiple Cassians and Boba Fetts....

Top 5 most wanted Transformes Animated updated figures

Image
  (Image Source) Transformers has dived into the Animated universe once again and while they aren't true representations of the characters as they appeared on-screen I've liked what I've seen so far and have enjoyed Prowl, Bumblebee, and Optimus as we've gotten so far. I hope the figures continue to look more like they're original designs appeared as (similar to what has been happening with the Prime figures over time), but I think the ones we've gotten so far have been exciting to have Animated back on the shelves, and these next five are the ones I hope we see updated next! 5. Shockwave (Image Source) One of my all time favorite Transformers Animated takes on a character was Shockwave, appearing as a transforming double agent which the original toy captured perfectly! It still remains one of my favorite figures from the original Animated line and still holds up really well today! The prospect of a Transformer who transforms into another Transformer isn't s...

Top 5 most wanted DC Multiverse DC vs Vampires figures

Image
(Image Source) When Mcfarlane first starting revealing DC vs Vampires exclusive figures for Walmart I was initially on the fence. I was thinking to myself that I would've preferred a classic Red Rain Vampire Batman over one inspired by a cover art for a comic where Batman is never actually a vampire. Then we got Vampire Joker, also inspired by cover art, followed by an awesome looking Vampire Superman and Vampire Hal Jordan, and I'm fully on board with this subset at this point. The headsculpts for each are fantastic, and when all put together it is a epic looking set of DC vampires! While I lost interest in the series itself after the time skip at issue 7, the cover arts continued to depict creepy looking vampire versions of DC's heroes and villains, and these are my top most wanted pics for the next DC vs Vampires Mcfarlane figures! Honorable mention: Batwoman (Image Source) Just barely inched out of the top 5 is Batwoman, whose alternate cover artwork depicts her with a ...

Top 5 most wanted Tamashii Nations S.H.Figuarts One Piece figures from the East Blue saga

Image
(Image Source) One of the lines at Tamashii Nations that have been making the biggest recent splash has been their One Piece line of figures. The show is hitting an all time high of popularity, and S.H.Figuarts have been pumping out figure after figure to celebrate. The figures so far have been hailing from the Raid at Onigashima story arc, with three members of the Strawhat crew checked off as well as addition characters such as Kaido, Yamato, and Trafalgar Law! While the figures so far have looked great, there are lots of designs from all across the decades long storytelling that I'd love to see in figure form. Starting off with the first saga of the series, East Blue, these are the top 5 figures I'd like from the S.H.Figuarts line.   5. Strawhat pirates (Image Source) Tamashii Nations is deep into building out a Wano arc of Strawhat pirates; however, I would absolutely love for the line to go back and give us these classic looks for the original five members of the crew! No ...

Top 5 favorite reveals from Hasbro Pulsecon 2023

Image
(Image Source) 2023 saw Hasbro celebrate their latest Pulsecon event, revealing figures from all across their brands. While some licenses had more reveals than others, and some had more reveals that were tailored for me as opposed to others, there was still plenty for me to be excited about! From Star Wars to Transformers, and to Marvel and beyond, these are my top 5 favorite Hasbro Pulsecon reveals from 2023! 5. Black Series Baylan and Shin (Image 1 Source) (Image 2 Source) Starting off the list are the two primary antagonists from the currently running Ahsoka series which I had been waiting for Black Series to put out in figure form. Releasing master and apprentice at the same time works perfectly, and they've certainly been one of my favorite parts of the newest Star Wars media! Both look great, Baylan especially, though their lightsabers aren't as orange as I would've liked, and Shin's headsculpt seems a bit off from the actor.  4. Marvel Legends Tobey and Andrew (I...
