My collecting of S.H.Figuarts really took off in 2024 as I branched out into multiple new and old lines, with Tamashii Nations themselves seemingly taking their figures to the next level between character choices, sculpting improvements, and bringing new shows into the S.H.Figuarts banner! With 2024 come to a close I've put together my list of the top 5 S.H.Figuarts that stood out to me most as my favorites of the year! (Images Source) Honorable mention: Legendary Super Saiyan Goku Dragon Ball wasn't a line I had really dived into until just recently as I've finally started the franchise myself with the original show, and have found myself addicted to picking up a lot of the series' S.H.Figuarts offerings. The Legendary Super Saiyan Goku released last year was one I had seen a lot of fans raving over and knew I had to get it for myself for what looked to be the definitive Super Saiyan Goku figure, and in hand I could plainly see what the excitement was about. This figur...

Happy New Year! And with the start of the new year I am putting out a post for the top shows and manga I'm hoping and wishing to see produced as an action figure line by S.H.Figuarts in the coming year! 2024 both brought Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia to the S.H.Figuarts line along with Kaiju No. 8 and numerous other properties and characters from across the anime brand. I expect many more toylines to be started and announced throughout 2025 from the anime brand, and I hope these five properties are amongst them.  5. Soul Eater (Image Source) I remember having a ton of fun watching this series in middle school and have now been going through the manga for the full story. Maka and Soul as well as the rest of the cast are extremely entertaining and all have really unique and stand out designs that make them ripe for action figure form and I'm frankly surprised that no toy company has produced articulated action figures for these characters.  4.

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...

The recent tease at Jump Festa that we will be getting new Akatsuki action figures in the revived Naruto S.H.Figuarts line has me extremely excited! This group of characters are some of the absolute coolest antagonists that the series touted, and since the line has restarted there have been several that I've been hoping to add into the display sooner rather than later! We don't yet know who the first member of this legendary team will be to be added into the line, though we do know that they will be utilizing fabric cloaks when they come! With plenty of Akatsuki options to hope for from the series, this is my top 5 most wanted Akatsuki members in the S.H.Figuarts line! (Images Source) 5. Itachi This is the most obvious choice, as Itachi is easily one of the most popular characters in the entire series as a whole, which was proved even further by him ranking so high on the recent Narutop99 fan vote contest. Tamashii Nations has stated that they're looking at that poll for wh...

  (Image Source) One of my all time favorite manga and stories in general is Berserk, and the moment that SHFiguarts teased that they were getting into this series for action figures I couldn't wait to see what was coming! So far we've gotten two versions of Guts, and one Griffith, and already I'm really impressed with the figures revealed and sorely hope to see the line continue and to build out more of this horrifying universe. From more allies to villains from the manga series, these next five slots are my top most wanted hopes to see realized from SHFiguarts' Berserk line of figures! 5. More Guts and Griffith (Image 1 Source)   (Image 2 Source) As the leads in the series I am expecting to see both Griffith and Guts multiple more times through the life of the line, as the versions we're so far getting have been absolutely killer! Guts has so many iconic looks from the series to choose from, and with his Berserker armor designs knocked out of the park already I wo...
