Most wanted Hammond Collection figures from each Jurassic film vol 2

Image
  (Images Source) Hammond Collection has knocked it out of the park with some of their latest reveals like the Therizinosaurus, not to mention long time Dinosaur figure wants of mine like the Ankylosaurus and Carnotaurus have both been realized by the line! With the figures being produced currently being amongst the best in the line so far, with Mattel continously updating their technique, this list will be counting down my new rendition of each Hammond Collection figure I want most from each Jurassic Park/World film! Jurassic Park - Lex and Tim When I put the Brachiosaurus in this slot last time I was half-expecting it to be a pipedream but lo and behold Mattel went full force and put out a massive Hammond Collection Brachiosaurus last year! With that dino checked off the list it means that all on-screen dinosaurus from the first film have been officially completed by Mattel in this premium line! So for the first film's slot I'll be putting in some human characters who at this

Top 5 omissions in Hasbro's Star Wars the Black Series as of May 2024

Image
Recent years have made big strides in rounding out a lot of long time wishlisted characters and designs for the Black Series line of Star Wars figures by Hasbro. The wait for a Super Battle Droid and Droideka were shockingly long but have finally become a reality, not to mention iconic original trilogy designs like Wicket and the Endor Rebels have been released by the line as well. There will still always be characters the line has to get to though, and with this May 2024 edition of Hasbro's top 5 omissions in the line so far I've thought up characters from across the franchise who have shockingly never been released in the Black Series line when you think of  "which characters have/have not had 6 inch scale toys from Star Wars yet?" 5. Shaak Ti We've gotten a nice helping of the prequel era Jedi in recent times, and this year has been a boon for prequel fans like myself as so many awesome designs and characters are finally seeing life in the Black Series!

Top 5 most wanted Fondjoy DC Comics Hero figures

(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

  (Banner Image 1 Source)   (Banner Image 2 Source)   (Following Images Source) Fondjoy and their newer line of DC action figures was one that I had seen pictures of every now and again, but after recently watching a review of the Dawn of Justice Batman from a Youtuber I follow the line is much more on my radar now! 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

Image
(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
