This was our first year of Power Rangers figures from Hasbro and I think that the Lightning Collection has definitely become one of the my most anticipated lines out of the them all! I love the franchise, and this constant stream of high end, show accurate, accessory loaded figures that pop in from every point int he show's legacy is absolutely great as a fan of the Power Rangers! It is really hard to narrow this list down to just 5 figures when so many of them have been great this year, but with a lot of internal debate, here are my top 5 Lightning Collection figures of 2019!

Putty Patroller Another big thing about the line that I absolutely have fallen in love with is how often we get villain figures, even if they are for the most part relegated to Mighty Morphin foes. The Putties are an undeniable part...

Bandai's line of Dragon Ball figures has finally started to branch outside of rereleases of Goku and Vegeta meaning that this year was chock full of a lot of great new molds and new characters to choose from for my top 5 list for this line! While the next couple wave sadly seem to fall back on rerelease and repaint fashion, that doesn't diminish the great figures we got this year, and these are my top 5 favorites!

Piccolo This was a character I had been waiting on for a long time, especially as one of the more recognizable characters in the series, and I was so excited to finally get him in the line with the start of the new molds! While I prefer the cape look that they are coming out with soon, I still love the first Piccolo figure because it is him! And the antenna on his head is something we'll lack with the caped,...

Marvel Legends continues to be one of the most abundant lines from Hasbro through 2019, and looking ahead to 2020. They're constantly pumping out a stream of figures and sometimes it can get complicated trying to figure out which figures came out when, and just how many figures have come out this year alone! The movie side of things is where I've been focused for the line, being a huge fan of the MCU, so that's pretty much where my top 5 list is sticking to for 2019 and here are the figures I narrowed things down to!

Lebowski Thor I still think it is absolutely insane that this version of Thor got a figure, the version of him wearing his pajama pants and bath robe with a sweatshirt, absolutely bonkers and I love it in every way. The fact that I can pose this version of Thor on the shelf is great, and I think the figure came ...

I think that this year, 2019, Star Wars the Black Series really kicked it into high gear and we got a ton of figures that the line has been lacking since its inception. I owe it to such a large time gap between movies, which makes me eager to see what the Hasbro team can accomplish with the few years between episode 9 and whatever comes next. For this list I'll be focusing on this past year though, and the five Black Series figures that came out as my personal favorites!

Battle Droid It is absolutely nuts that it has taken so long just to get at least one Battle Droid in the line! The figure was warmly welcomed though and it is definitely one of my favorites of the year. I love the massive load of articulation that this figure is sporting, and its ability to fold up into its dormant state was a nice inclusion as well. Already...

2019 is wrapping up to a close and with it comes the end of the second year of the Transformers Studio Series toyline. It is still crazy to me that we'll have had two full years with this toyline at this point, and year two certainly gave us several highly awaited fan favorites that I was very happy to get in the line. 2020 is already shaping up to be the best year for Studio Series yet, but before that, I'm going to take some time and appreciate my top five favorite figures from the line for 2019!

Leader class Optimus Starting off is the leader class Optimus Prime figure based off of Dark of the Moon. I love the approach they took with this figure, as it implements the full trailer in order to reach that leader class price point; however, while I love everything this figure did, it did have some things that bug...

The third episode of Crisis definitely blew me away completely with what happened and the events that transpired before the midseason break that all of the shows are on now. A lot of great character moments occurred in the episode, and things definitely seem hopeless going into the break, but it is all just cementing this years crossover as something really special.

This lead them to Lucifer from the Lucifer tv show which was a big surprise to see after I had heard he wouldn't be in the crossover, but that was definitely a fun cameo in the epis...

The second episode of Crisis was a lot of fun mostly due to the cameos that we got and this was my first real exposure to the Lex Luthor of the CW universe, arguably I've heard people say it was a filler episode but a few important things happened, though I could say nothing that pushed the story forward a great deal. It was still a fantastic episode and a lot went on that I enjoyed.

They bring his body to the last remaining Lazarus pit in the multiverse, an old west planet with its own Jonah Hex that Sara and Mia promptly beat up when he attempted to harass them. In the end, they managed to bring back Oliver, but without his soul as the antimatter is dampening Constantine's powers. Like I mentio...
