There are a few figure releases from 2025 that don't necessarily fit in to any of the lists I talked about before and are from toylines that don't necessitate their own ranking list. I still wanted to talk about them regardless as some of these figures would be amongst my overall top figures of the whole year, and some of the companies they hail from are ones I'll definitely be looking into more throughout 2026 and hope to see more of in general! In no particular order of ranking, here are five more absolutely fantastic figures from 2025 that I had to get mentioned! Blokees engineering improvements (Image Source) Something I jumped into this year was Blokees Galaxy line of Transformers model kits. Extremely fun little sets that make it affordable and easy to build out a G1 display fast, as well as a Transformers: One display, Shattered Glass display, and it seems like the future is only going to open up more of the Transformers franchise to this excellent series. With the r...

(Images Source) Marvel's slate of television series heading into phase 6 of the MCU isn't as vast as the future seemed the last time I discussed upcoming shows, but that can be attributed to an effort on Marvel's part to focus on quality over quantity, plus I'm sure they're holding back on announcing too many things that would be coming out after the Avengers climax to the Multiverse saga. We've gotten A LOT of Marvel heroes and series that further build out the world and characters of the MCU, blowing it up moreso than Marvel fans ever expected to see this universe flourish I'm sure. Moon Knight, She Hulk, Ms Marvel, Ironheart, not to mention lesser known characters like Echo and Agatha, along with Secret Invasion, the return of Daredevil in Born Again, and the very fun Spiderman: Freshman Year. Even with all this there's still lots to come from the tv side of things for Marvel in Phase 6, and here I'll count down my excitement for each.  On Pause: ...

(Banner Image Source)   (Following Images Source) Spiderman The Animated Series has enjoyed quite the wealth of figures in Hasbro's Marvel Legends line and it seems like it has no intention of slowing down after recent releases and reveals such as the long awaited Chameleon! I finally got around to watching the show for myself and loved it (and hope to see a sequel from Disney similar to X-Men '97), so I've got my picks primed for the top 5 Marvel Legends figures I want based off of Spiderman The Animated Series! Honorable mention: Madame Web This is a character I'm surprised that Marvel Legends hasn't made in any form given her importance and iconic nature to the Spiderman mythos. While she would not be very active in terms of an action figures, she would be a splendid centerpiece to any Spiderverse display with her striking red and white costume, as well as her throne.  5. Easy Repaints: Kingpin, Punisher, Shocker This slot I'm dedicating to some of the easy r...

(Image Source) Sony's Spider-Man universe has been seeing a lot more activity in the Marvel Legends line of figures, especially with the release of No Way Home which granted us new figures for Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, not to mention several villains who had returned from other films like Doc Ock, Sandman, and The Lizard most recently! The Into the Spiderverse franchise has also exploded with action figure representation, with figures throughout both films being released across multiple waves at this point. It has been great seeing designs and characters from these films returning to action figure form, and this list will count down my next five most wanted Sony Spider-Man film figures. 5. Spider-verse SPDR and Kingpin (Images Source) As much as we have gotten from the Spider-Verse films so far there are two big missing characters from the first film that we haven't gotten yet. The first is Peni Parker and SPDR to finish off the original team of Spider-Men which would ...

We're almost knee deep into 2024, so I figure it is just about time for me to go into my top movie list of 2023. I haven't seen everything that came out last year, but I saw most of the movies that were on my immediate radar (along with some surprises recommended by fans) and at this point in time this is how my ranking for films of last year has turned out. When putting together the list I realized I had added two extra movies making this a "Top 12" as opposed to a "Top 10" list; however, it gives me more of a chance to talk about more films. I haven't put numerical listings beside the titles, just because it was hard to put them in a general order and things are still fluid with what I think was "better" than others. I enjoyed all of these movies immensely, for various reasons, so take this list as less of a ranking, and more of a collective favorite 12 movies from 2023.  (Images Source unless otherwise stated) Beau is Afraid An absolute ride...

(Image Source) 2023 saw Hasbro celebrate their latest Pulsecon event, revealing figures from all across their brands. While some licenses had more reveals than others, and some had more reveals that were tailored for me as opposed to others, there was still plenty for me to be excited about! From Star Wars to Transformers, and to Marvel and beyond, these are my top 5 favorite Hasbro Pulsecon reveals from 2023! 5. Black Series Baylan and Shin (Image 1 Source) (Image 2 Source) Starting off the list are the two primary antagonists from the currently running Ahsoka series which I had been waiting for Black Series to put out in figure form. Releasing master and apprentice at the same time works perfectly, and they've certainly been one of my favorite parts of the newest Star Wars media! Both look great, Baylan especially, though their lightsabers aren't as orange as I would've liked, and Shin's headsculpt seems a bit off from the actor.  4. Marvel Legends Tobey and Andrew (I...
