The B.A.T.S. have been a constant in the GI Joe Classified line since the near beginning and every time they've been released in new variants or colors it has been a delight as one of the best molds in the line! The robotic warriors are some of the funnest army builders for the 6 inch scale line with plenty of diversity when it comes to accessories and weapon/battle damaged options. With the Retro BAT being the most recent reveal for this sub-collection in the line, I've picked out my top 5 most wanted BAT variants going forward. 




5. Overkill

Sporting a unique name and an even more unique design, Overkill would be a welcome addition to the BAT battalion as a stand out unit whose figure would be one of the most diverse in the line so far. With plenty of color, a clear chest window, and a zany weapon array, Overkill would be a wild addition to the military line up.



4. Nano

Easily achievable using pieces that already exist in the line, the Nano BAT's main feature is the clear translucent green throughout a lot of its design. This would be a striking look for the figure and with the Retro BAT introducing clear plastic to the mold the next logical step would be to inject that clear plastic in green as well as depositing that feature to the headsculpt and weapons. 



3. Sky

With as much support as the BATs are giving to the ground units, the sky is the next frontier especially with the recent Haslabs being aerial focused. The Sky BAT features an alarmingly blue color palate, with hints of red, and a brand new design overall that would greatly diversify this army builder and potentially lend itself to even more repaints in the sky realm. 



2. V3.2

Similar to the original iteration of the BAT, the version 3.2 gives it a more sleek, streamlined robotic design with a very cool looking headsculpt. So far the BATs have not employed any really new sculpts in their ranks, and this one would be a great one to start with as the transition between designs isn't too huge. 



1. V4

The V4 iteration of the BAT takes things another step further with a still recognizable design but even more futuristic look. The head reminds me of the Ultron drones from Age of Ultron, the purple pants are a fun color break from the grays and blacks, and overall this is one of my favorite BAT designs that we thus far haven't seen made.

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 Mattel Hammond Collection dinosaurs

The Hammond Collection looks to be the collector's dream for an articulated, highly accurate line of dinosaur figures! We're getting lot's of iconic and fan favorite creatures in the line's first year, with more great figures sure to be in the line's future! (Image Source) 5. Pteranodon The version of this dino that we got from the Amber collection was pretty spot on; however, we've got a new scale to work with and so I'm needing myself a new collector's line Pteradon to fit in with the rest of the Hammond Collection we've been building up to this point! I'd be really interested to see if a flight stand would be included as well, especially since stands haven't been utilized up to this point in this line. (Image Source) 4. Quetzalcoatlus A newer dinosaur being introduced into the film series is one who looks epic brought to life! I love the head design of this massive flying beast, and just like the Pteranodon I have no doubt that the wingspa...

Top 5 most wanted green Power Rangers in Hasbro's Lightning Collection vol 2

Image
Hasbro's been moving through the Green rangers in their Morphin history with Zeo, Psycho, and Lost Galaxy entering the line since the last time I did one of these lists! And with the rosters ever growing as Hasbro's Lightning Collection line keeps pushing through, here is my next round of most wanted Green rangers for the display!  (Image Source) Honorable mention: Turbo Starting off with an honorable mention, I wanted to include the Turbo Green ranger on the list, specifically the Adam version of the character. Adam is definitely one of my favorite rangers from the show's history, and while Turbo's costume designs aren't amongst my favorite I did really like Adam's hairstyle in this season which would make for a cool unmasked portrait.

Dino Fury I recently talked about this newer ranger on my most wanted Hasbro era Rangers list, and Izzy is making the Green ranger list as the first and only female so far from Power Ranger's mainstream hist...
