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...

SDCC 2025 has come and gone with  numerous reveals from toy companies going as hard as ever. With reveals from Hasbro, Mcfarlane, Jada Toys, and more it was truly a show like no other and one of the most exciting in recent years. So with the excitement of the weekend having passed and all the reveals out on the board, these are my top favorite SDCC reveals for the 2025 convention season!! Mcfarlane JSA and Earth 2 (Images Source) Mcfarlane's line up of DC Multiverse reveals wasn't as vast as it has been in previous showings; however, that could very well be related to the approaching end of the line. Regardless, they still had several very exciting figures shown off including a classic Scarecrow, the more classic Static Shock fans have wanted, and for me the biggest were the newest JSA members in Dr. Midnite and Starman! Along with them we're getting our newest entry into the slowly growing Earth-2 display, this time being Dick Grayson as Batman...a figure I have made a cus...

We got our answer at SDCC as the first three figures comprising the roster of Alpha 3 were debuted! A new Ryu, a new Chun Li, and Charlie are the three headlining the next game in the franchise that Jada Toys is delving into and they look just as amazing as ever! With how well Jada Toys has handled action figures to this point I expect high things from their Alpha 3 endeavor, and with the first wave fully unveiled I've got thoughts on who I want to see next! 5. Cody My Street Fighter knowledge isn't too extensive. I've dabbled in the games, and watched the animated movies, but that is enough for me to have a grasp on Cody. A fallen hero who grew obsessed with fighting is an interesting direction for the charact...

NYCC 2024 has come and gone with numerous reveals from multiple companies making for another great showing of figures still to come for 2024 and beyond in 2025. Here I will count down some of my favorite reveals from the show, starting off with an honorable mention! (Images Source) Honorable mention: GI Joe Classified There were not any particular characters revealed for the GI Joe classified line that really wowed me this time around for reveals, but what was shown off was still very cool. The Retro release of Dr. Mindbender is a release I'm really looking forward to to get the character into my collection, and then the line delving into First Responders is very cool and the Firefighter is such a great release from the real world, especially with my best friend being a firefighter! The Hunt for the Mass Device's first reveal turned out to be a new Snake Eyes with a freaking Polar Bear which looks so cool! So while none of my most wanted were revealed or teased, what was shown ...

(Banner Images Source)   (Following Images Source) I've seen attempts at a Scooby Doo line over the years, but Jada Toys seems to have found the perfect balance and formula to bring these iconic characters to line on the shelf. Hyper articulated, plentiful with accessories, and most importantly of all there is a strong presence of the ghosts of the series. That is what is truly pulling me in, and Creeper and Mummy look to be solid first entries into the line's antagonistic cast, especially with the promise of accessories that allow for their unmasking scenes! The Mystery Inc members themselves will be packed as well, with alternate face portraits and matching accessories such as Shaggy and his snack box! Will this line looking to be off to a strong start, this list will accumulate my top 5 most wanted figures from Jada Toys' Scooby Doo line! 5. Scooby gang The most obvious forthcoming figures in the line are going to be the rest of the Scooby gang themselves, with Shaggy sh...

Honorable mention: Black Series pipeline reveals - Kelnacca and Commando Droid (Image Source) While the legitimate reveals from Black Series were fun, with Dedra Meero and the Beskar armored Stormtroopers finally entering the line, I have to admit that the pipeline reveals were what got me pumped more than anything! a Commando Droid from Clone Wars is going to be such a sell out, not to mention Moff Gideon's Beskar armored suit, and my personal hypest pipeline reveals: Kelnacca! He and Qimir are my top two latest wants in the line following The Acolyte's airing, and we are at least getting Kelnacca checked off somewhat quickly! though why they chose to bring Bazil into the line first will forever baffle me.  5. Jada Toys Scooby Doo (Image Source) A surprise to be sure was the Jada Toys reveal of a fully articulated, immaculate looking line of Scooby Doo action figures based on the original series! not only that, but the line is prioritizing the unique assortment of monsters and...
