The show was such a fan continuation of the original Animated Series, and that classic theme was exhilarating to hear each time it played! Marvel Legends has not been slacking either with two whole waves of figures produced to represent the show, with figures from both waves selling like hot cakes! The Legends team have confirmed there will not be a third wave this year, but are looking to make more figures eventually, and these upcoming five are my most wanted from the series!  5. Bastion (Images Source) The main antagonist of the show could have been seen as a spoiler so I am not entirely surprised we have not gotten Bastion in the line yet. We've gotten other villains like Goblin Queen so there is no shyness when it comes to producing villains from the excellent series, and I think either form of Bast...

(Images Source) One of the most iconic pieces of the Naruto lore would have to be the Konoha 11, Naruto's friends and allies who he fought alongside throughout the series' length. S.H.Figuarts have yet to really dive into this group of characters aside from Naruto and Sakura which are obvious choices for the line, and with most of the top tier characters like Itachi, Pain, Kakashi, and Orochimaru entered into the line already I think it would be a great time for Tamashii Nations to start hitting us with some of the great characters from this group! Honorable mention: Sakura (Genin) Making it onto the list as an honorable mention would be Sakura's design from the first part of the series, back when she was still a Genin and took part in major arcs like the Chunin Exams. With both kid Naruto and kid Sasuke in the line it is a must to get the kid version of Sakura as well to finish out the trio in both time periods of the series; however, while I do want this version of Sakura...

(Images Source) The Narutop99 contest was a vote by fans to determine the top 99 favorite characters in all of Naruto, with the top 20 or so collected by Kishimoto on a killer poster for the top winners. Tamashii Nations has certainly taken note of the results and have even begun a subline of figures in their revived S.H.Figuarts Naruto line to celebrate this contest! Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi are being rereleased with accessories to match their appearances on the poster, while Minato and Itachi are getting brand new figures that pass for standard versions of those characters for the new line, while also including their Narutop99 accessories. With this fan vote essentially telling Tamashii Nations which characters are the most popular amongst fans I'm sure we'll continue to see more characters and designs off the Narutop99 come to the S.H.Figuarts line sooner rather than later, and I've narrowed down my top 5 pics from this poster I'd love to see become reality in fig...

  (Banner Images Source)   (Following Images Source) The Amazing Yamaguchi line of My Hero Academia figures is finally delving into the villainous side of the cast with Shigaraki and Dabi as upcoming releases for the year! They are two fantastic choices to start off with, and with so many spectacular villains from the series I can only hope which ones will join the line next! After Dabi the line has already taken a bit of a break, jumping to Ochaco and Mirko (the first female characters in the line), and I think it'd be about time to reveal another villain! So here are my top 5 most wanted My Hero Academia villains from the Amazing Yamaguchi line! 5. Twice Twice has a very plain design when it comes to his costume, but the character himself was absolutely entertaining from start to finish and ended up with a fairly upsetting backstory and conclusion to his story! The zany expressions he would conjure up with his mask are alternate faceplates I need Amazing Yamaguchi to include...
