Top 5 most wanted Fondjoy DC Comics Hero figures

Image
(Banner Images Source)   (Following Images Source) While writing my first post about my most wanted Fondjoy DC action figures I quickly realized that the list was pretty much nothing but villains! So I wanted to highlight some of the superheroes that I wanted to see in the line, as I'm sure heroes are more of what we'll be getting anyways (as evidenced so far). So here is my top 5 most wanted heroes in Fondjoy's DC line of figures! Honorable Mention: Suicide Squads Coming in as honorable mentions are members of the Suicide Squad! With characters like Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Enchantress, Weasel, and Diablo being some of my biggest wants. A couple of these characters actually appeared on my other top 5 most wanted list, but being as that these characters are technically all villains, and only "heroes" in the setting of the Suicide Squad, that is why they're just honorable mentions this time around for my list of most wanted heroes. 5. Flash (Justice League) One

Top 5 most wanted updated G1 Transformers figures vol 5

Image
(Images Source) As could be expected, G1 has remained a strong presence in Hasbro's Transformers line and so many iconic characters and designs have been fully filled out with the modern toyline. The whole Dinobots crew, all three Insecticons, pretty much the entirety of the principal cast, and while the amount of G1 we're getting each year has dwindled it is still something that we can always expect to see fill out waves, and this list will be counting down my next most wanted G1 Transformers figures! 5. Sixshot The most recent adaptation of this character that we got was pretty good; however, a Commander Class version of Six shot would be epic to capture all of his Transformations as well as his massive size. When next to Cyclonus he towered over his fellow Decepticon, and Cyclonus is easily one of the largest Voyager figures in years! An easy fan favorite despite his tragically short screen time, Sixshot would be an engineering delight to see in the line again.  4. Outback A

Top 5 most wanted Fondjoy DC Comics movie figures

Exceptionally articulation and paint, along with a plethora of accessories, and for a price point I stomach better nowadays since I've began collecting higher price point lines like S.H.Figuarts. Fondjoy's DC Comics line of movie action figures so far seen to be fantastic, with a few looking wonky here and there (specifically headsculpts for Henry Cavill and Heath Ledger) but their newest figures look perfect and I can't wait for the few that I've ordered so far to come in! This line makes me think of the DOA DC Films line DC Direct worked on years ago which I was SO excited for. A high grade, premium line of live action DC action figures! Fondjoy looks to f

Top 5 wanted Transformers: Robots in Disguise 2000 (Car Robots) figures

(Images Source) With all of the hype that Car Robots has been getting lately between the fully funded Haslab to mainline releases like Sideburn I went back and actually watched the original Japanese series in its entirety! It was my first experience with a Japan produced Transformers show, and it was a lot of fun! Plenty of humor that I was used to seeing in Anime translated into a Transformers show, making for one of the most unique viewing experiences I've had in this franchise. The assortment of characters from that universe that Hasbro has given us so far has been awesome to build out the Autobot side of things, and Scourge/Black Convoy is a great start to the Decepticon side of things. With the Haslab being as successful as it was here's hoping that more Car Robots action figures will be coming down the pipeline to accompany such a great set! 5. Team Bullet Train I'm a sucker for combiner teams, and the amount of train Transformers we have in action figure form for the

Top 5 most wanted updated Transformers Armada figures vol 2

(Images Source) I am living an absolute dream as a Transformers: Armada fan! I grew up on these characters and designs, I grew up hoping for figures like we're getting nowadays, and Hasbro has spoiled me. Starscream is A+, Hot Shot is probably the weakest of the group but still nice to have, Leader Class Megatron BLOWS AWAY the previous Titans Returns attempt at an update, Armada Optimus in the Commander Class slot won the fan poll for best figure of 2023 which is a deserved title, and holy crap we are getting a freaking Titan Class Tidal Wave which I have dreamt about since high school!! I don't know how to express my joy and excitement aside from saying I'm so ready for even more, and we know we're getting Wheeljack after that suspiciously familiar looking new retool of the Shattered Glass Sideswipe mold (though the door wings of the Back to the Future collab would've been a perfect recreation of Wheeljack's design). So with Armada being one of the universes t

Top 5 next most wanted Mattel Hammond Collection dinosaurs

Image
(Images Source) Just yesterday we got the epic reveals of the Therizinosaurus and the Giganotosaurus which look to be two of the best dinosaurs to be released in the Hammond Collection line by Mattel so far! Mattel has certainly continued to perfect their craft with the Hammond Collection line and it really shows. A while back we got the Ankylosaurus which had been one of my most anticipated figures in the line, and for this revised list of most wanted dinos I am taking off the Pteranodon and Quetzalcoatlus because I know the bendy wire method is a smart choice but for whatever reason it appeals less to me than all the other prehistoric figures we get. There are beginning to be only a handful of on-screen dinosaurs for Mattel to choose from until we get more obscure cuts like Irritator and Metricanthosaurus,  and this list will be counting down my next five most wanted! 5. Stygimoloch I am a bit surprised that this dino hasn't been included in the smaller price point quite yet, and
