Top 5 favorite reveals from Hasbro Pulsecon 2023

(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



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



Undoubtedly the reveals of the No Way Home figures were very exciting as well, even if they are a few years late to the movie. We recently got a three pack featuring Tobey and Andrew from the movie; however, this release of them features unmasked headsculpts that look absolutely fantastic! These were the releases I was hoping to get for these two, and I can't wait to add them to the line!



3. G.I. Joe Classified

There's no one reveal from GI Joe Classified that truly stood out to me more than others this time around, but the whole brand together had a great showing with plenty of awesome looking figures! Big Boa with his boxing gloves and weights is exactly the kind of fun figures I love seeing in the line, not to mention the martial arts Quick Kick who comes with a candy bar from his commercial role, one of my favorite surprise accessories in the line! The Retro Scarlet and Duke are great vintage inspired figures that scratch my itch for those characters more so than the initial modern releases did (and hopefully we can get a Retro Roadblock at some point too!). One of the coolest reveals though are the general military figures being released for the 60th anniversary of the brand, celebrating how the line initially began with generic military soldiers!



2. Marvel Legends Green Goblin and Doc Ock



Jumping back to the No Way Home figures, Green Goblin and Doc Ock are deserving of a slot on this list all their own for how epic their action figures look. Some of the finest looking Marvel Legends to be revealed recently, with both easily two of my most wanted figures from all of 2023 so far! The posable tentacles on Doc Ock are absolute perfection, with every inch of Goblin looking of the highest quality and spot on to the movie! I can't get over how matched the Dafoe facesculpt looks to the actor, and they'll both easily take center spots in my display!



1. Tidal Wave tease

With Studio Series beginning to move further and further away from the Bayverse, my main Transformers collecting focus has been Legacy's Armada figures, especially with 2023 delivering on plenty of Armada awesomeness between Commander class Optimus and Leader class Megatron! While none of the mainline United reveals from Pulsecon really wowed me too much (Though Tigerhawk does look epic), the reveal of the United poster garnered an audible cheer from me as featured in the top right of the poster is TIDAL WAVE!! For the longest time he has been one of my longest, most wanted figures in the whole of Transformers collecting! He was the figure I was most hoping to get once Legacy really moved outside of G1 and started touching upon alternate universes such as Armada, and now it is finally gonna happen!!

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

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...
