    Anything Jurassic Park continues to make this list. But I will extend this to famous or rather 'infamous' unreleased lines, such as Kenner's Gi Joe Extreme's unreleased figures. The unreleased figures were some of the best. Look them up.


    Bane's Army would have had the best figures ever, including a female action figure, had it not ended so abruptly. Also my Skystalker would have been more common and less liable before the line was cancelled. I'm a big scale fanatic. I love figures between 4.5 in- 5.1 in in height, and vehicles that cater to figures that size. Nowdays figures are either 6.0' or 3.5'. That's a huge freaking size difference. They either do or do not fit in any goddamn vehicle! The Bat from TDKR houses 3.5' figs, and the evergreen Batmobile houses '6' figs, or two 5'1 figs, which feels like a very uncomfortable tank ride.

    I call for action figure makers to call on a size between 3'5 (a staple in our culture) and 5.1'. Anything larger...Is an aberration.

    SOTA Street Fighter...so close to finishing the entire Super SFII cast in toy form...

    Minimate lines Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Street Fighter x Tekken, and Universal Monsters (stated in recent Q&A as all done basically)

    GI Joe Sigma 6. Some of the best action figures Hasbro ever made. Yeah, the 8" scale was weird, but the figures were such high quality I got over it quickly.

    yes indeed! I didn't mention them because even though the cartoon didn't pass 2 seasons, the toys seemed to surpass 2 years.
    Zartan is my travel figure and my fave figure.

    Super Powers. Yeah we got DCUC, but they'll never reach the fun factor that Super Powers held. Best gimmick ever for a toyline.

    Funny how Hasbro had some type of involvement with all of these lines.

    Mega Force. Take a typical action figure line that interacts with vehicles and replace the figures with tiny tanks and planes. That's a winner in my book.

    Most of all, I love "THE Batman" series based off of the same art as the Jackie Chan cartoon several years back.
