(Image Source) The S.H.Figuarts Harry Potter line started off a few years back with a heavy focus on Sorcerer's Stone debuting the core trio of characters along with Snape. With the revival of the line it had me going back to pick up some of the initial figures in the line which haven't grown much in price which may be part of the reason why the line took such a long hiatus, aside from Snape's after market prices. While the seemingly unimpressive sales of the Sorcerer's Stone figures may have been what sent the line into its hiatus I would still love to see the first movie in this iconic franchise fleshed out more in the line with these five choices of mine.  5. Draco (Image Source) Shown off but ultimately unreleased, I'm not sure how likely at this point it is that the Draco figure would be released but with the prototype already being completed I imagine it would be easy to put him out to go along with the rest of the cast, possibly even as a PBandai exclusive if...

With season 5 of the Multiversus videogame right around the corner and more characters set to debut I wanted to talk about a couple random ideas I had for season themes, the characters that it could bring, as well as several characters I'm really hoping to see added to the game at some point! Pretty much all of these will be new properties to the game which I think are always the most exciting characters to see added, and without further ado, let's get started! (Images Source) Who Let the Dogs Out - Courage and Scooby Doo It strikes me every time I think about how the Scooby Doo franchise is part of the videogame with two different characters at launch but the title character of that series isn't included! He could even have some kind of gimmick like Jerry or B-MO to have Scrappy join the fray with him. Another character that could contribute to a dog-themed season would be the massively popular Courage the Cowardly Dog, one of my all time favorite Cartoon Network shows and...

Tamashii Nations S.H.Figuarts line has had an epic 2024 with lots of great reveals and releases amongst existing lines and new lines; but beyond that we have had plenty of reveals for the future throughout 2025 as well. There is so much to be excited for that I am thrilled to see in the pipeline, and before I put out a list counting down my favorite Figuarts of 2024 I'm looking ahead to my top anticipated S.H.Figuarts figures of 2025! Honorable mentions: Voldemort and Harry Potter (Images Source) I recently posted about my excitement at seeing the return of the Harry Potter line and my hope to see it continue. Both Voldemort and Harry look like fantastic releases to revive the line, and Voldemort's soft goods in particular I can't wait to see in-hand! 5. Demon Slayer (Images Source) Since the initial three announcements for the Demon Slayer line I feel like there has been scarce news up until recently when we had the dual reveals of Rengoku and Akaza. I'm excited for th...

(Banner Images Source)   (Following Images Source) I thought the initial releases in the Harry Potter S.H.Figuarts line by Tamashii Nations looked great and was a bit let down when the line died shortly after the first few releases. One of the funnest reveals of Tamashii Nations' 2024 event was the return of the Harry Potter line with two of the best looking figures in the line! They've jumped ahead to Goblet of Fire for the newest products in the line, and I hope to see many more coming without another drought! Thus far they have themed their releases after specific movies as opposed to doing multiple movies at once, so with Goblet of Fire being the current focus I have made up my top 5 most wanted SHFiguarts from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.  5. McGonagall Some of the head figure of Hogwarts are ones I need to see as priorities if the Harry Potter line continues. Minerva was a lasting presence throughout the saga and one of the strongest female presences amongst the ...

(Images Source) Honorable Mention: Stardust dragon and Yugi tease I haven't jumped into the Yu-Gi-Oh line quite yet but the reveals and releases so far have all looked stellar and invoked a lot of nostalgia from my childhood. The event revealed the Stardust Dragon which is from an era of the franchise I am not familiar with but I can't deny how savage this design is and how beautiful the combination of blue and silver is with the purple highlights on the chest and shoulders. Not only this but they teased the first duelist in the line with Yugi himself which is a long time coming given how many duel monsters have been put out.  1. Harry Potter I was of the mind that the Harry Potter line was dead after the Malfoy figure never materialized and the line halted with no new news for a few years at this point. Tamashii is coming back swinging however with two spectacular looking releases in a Triwizard Goblet of Fire Harry and a magnificent looking dark lord of the wizarding world hi...
