    MakeToys Thunder Manus
    X2 Toys Giga Raiden
    PapaToys Hot Rod

    That's right now. Five minutes from now I might say MS Sideswipe, MS Magnus, Peru Kill, Flipout, MMC Thunderclash & Drift, Choo Choo Bee, etc... they're all pretty close to the same level for me.

    Both XTB stunticons and XTB Savant. Think that's all I bought apart from DX9 Powerglide (still not 100% convinced on him).

    Haven't managed to get Quietus yet.

    Oh, forgot UT Ragnaros, love that

    EDIT was FT Koot 2018?

    I am hoping Fans Toys Hydra will be on the list, so I'm going to wait for that to arrive before figuring out a Top 3. :)

    1) Challenger
    2) Thunder Manus
    3) BMB’s Grimlock

    Didn’t realise I hadn’t actually bought much new 3P stuff this year, despite keeping up to date with who’s releasing what. Mostly been buying OS stuff, and picking up stuff from the last couple years I initially passed on

    Do we limit this to figures we purchased/own? I didn't get FT Dracula or MMC Inventa-Magna but I think those are both great figures!

    Anyone collecting Season 3+ should definitely check those out.

    My personal top 3 of this year can only include what I purchased so,

    NBK Devastator - a steal of a deal for the price. The bots are pretty damn good too
    XTB Crackup - my first XTB and not my last. Solid. Flawless(my copy). looks great on my shelf
    MMC Beta - Drift looks and feels great! reminds me of old MMC.

    Released in 2018 or bought in 2018? This is gonna affect my choices drastically.
