Happy New Year! Awesome top ten. I have almost everything on your list. Picking Hiro as #1 was a great choice. He's perhaps the coolest figure Kit Lau has made. My #1 would've been Detective Smith, though. I love the cyberpunk, Western theme. Everything else was spot-on on your list. 2021 was a great year for 1/18 collectors. Your reviews made me circle back and pick up Rigo and ARW Kelsey. I would love to get the Walk in the Park set, but it is too pricy. I'm already broke from all of the 40K stuff that's come out. Your channel and Awesome Action Toys are my go-to choices for ARW and Kit Lau content. Thanks for all the hard work, and keep it up. 👍
Thanks Steven! Detective Smith will always have a special place on my list. It's quite fitting that Kit Lau had paired him with Hiro as partner's. Glad some of my vids were able to help in your action figure decision making! I too, would love to get the Walk in the Park set. Just waiting to see if I can get it for a decent price! The Chaos Black Legion are really gonna put a hole in my pocket this year. Happy new year to you too mate, really appreciate all your support!
Definitely a great choice for number 1. My top 4 changed quite a bit up until recording, but as I said in the vid, the top lot of figures are definitely interchangeable on any given day. We were spoilt for choice for great figures last year
That Hammer of Steel set is amazing. I'd love to see them do Fallout figures in this exact same style. A small cosmetic adjustment and i see power armor here.
That would be sweet! The steel sets are the best Joytoy have released in my opinion. Unfortunately, with them seemingly extending the 40k license, that notion is unlikely. Alas, someone is sure to do a custom!
Cheers mate. Glad I was able to get the video done eventually. I've only recently got my voice back! Happy New year to you too, and all the best for the year ahead
Thanks Gunnar! Yes, glad to hear. Really awesome figure. I hope that if Hiro sells well, it will prompt other companies to follow suit and make more of their own wacky figures. Was a bit of a struggle with my voice, but I gave myself enough rest in-between recording.
I'm a bit surprised that Void didn't beat out Hiro for you but Void doesn't have a place to store his bat on the figure so I can see where that might have cost him the spot.
Yes, it was a heart-breaking decision for me, but you nailed it on the head. Plus, Void is similar to Hiro and I wanted to have more variety in the video -which is also why none of the other Yamato figures appear. But really, where you'll find Hiro, Void is lurking in the shadows! The unsung hero, but a Skellywags MVP
Cheers mate. A great start so far! I've got a Librarian and set of Blood Angels Death Company on the way. The Black Legion all look great too, but I think I'll have to pick and choose which of those I get.
Yeah buddy! Really appreciate your eclectic sensibilities AAT. Your vids help me pick some of the best of the best, and showcase some wacky and awesome toys!
Haha nice, awesome pick up! I think every 1/18 scale collector should have a warthog in their collection. A great vehicle set for a fraction of the price you'd pay for a vehicle elsewhere.
Sounds good! Been meaning to do a bit of weathering on mine too. Maybe a black/brown wash and dry brush some silver. That Tamiya dirt powder sounds useful
Hahaha i know, so difficult to compile the top 10! As the most expensive on the list, the price of this set definitely pushed it back. But it still beat out a ton of figures I bought this year. I really love and appreciate the concept behind it, and hope more out of the box ideas like this come to fruition. Is this your number 1?
@@SkellywagsTV I did recently get Misshaku & naraen figures cool set go well with annexe. Also got a walk in the park which cost me a small fortune but I needed Bob. But I do love the born in hell set also goes well with annexe only regret is that I brought everything individually so I didn't get the guitar🎸😔. Yes Top 10 videos are always hard to do especially when you get so many cool figures released in one year it would probably take me forever to put one together. Anyway Happy New Year mate. 👍 and yes born in hell set is my number one.
Woah, yes, that Walk in the Park set is one I've wanted, but still holding out hope that i can get it for a better price. I like how a lot of the new ARW releases fit right in with Annex, including the new upcoming Omanga, which I'm really looking forward to. It's a shame you weren't able to get the guitar. I'm surprised they didn't offer it with another release. Don't blame you for having the Angels set at number one, I love the aesthetic of a post apocalyptic, cyberpunk Lonewolf and cub
Yup, can't argue that Em! My Top 5 is pretty much interchangeable on any given day. I definitely had a lot of fun with Rego and have actually bought him three times now lol Are you gonna compile a Top 10 for 1/18 or Hexa? Or maybe one altogether!? I'm also thinking of an alternate Top 10 to include other scales and releases from other years that I just happened to get in 2021
A cool top ten Skelly and I don't own any of them yet haha, I do definitely want to pick up the Vintage Collection Bo-Katan though as she looks awesome and I am glad they didn't just stick with a black series version. Also there is a lot of Joy Toy and Acid Rain in the top ten so that speaks volumes which 1/18 scale figure lines are worth collecting! Also I just wanted to say that my Warhammer JoyToy Ultramarine Intercessors have just arrived, have you got your figures yet?
Lol I normally try and get things as soon as I can, so a lot of the stuff on the list isn't even widely available yet. When it comes to 1/18, Joytoy and Acid Rain are definitely at the forefront of producing some of the best stuff in my opinion. They are more premium import products, so the higher price point is really the only downside. I think Bo Katan is a must-buy from the Vintage collection, really great figure and at such a good price! I'm hoping the new Boba Fett turns out just as good and we get a removable helmet as opposed to head swap. Awesome! Ahh man, I haven't got mine yet. Last update I got my package left China on 11th Jan, but it looks like they combined it with another order I made. Hopefully next week! How are the Intercessors, have you opened them up yet?
@@SkellywagsTV I definitely agree and both lines are such good quality and I think the price point is basically the main negative, not much can be done but suck it up though! I am definitely going to get Bo-katan, I got the recent vintage collection Ahsoka which I haven't opened yet but it looks really good and the reviews seem strong. Did you get that Ahsoka? I look foward to the new TVC figures as well, that Clone Wars Mandolorian Death Watch trooper looks awesome! I haven't had a spare minute to open my poor Intercessors yet but at least it will be very exciting when I do! I will say though that they came extremely well packed and took just over a week to arrive so Showzstore seems really good for my first order. I will let you know how the opening goes anyway, I hope yours arrive soon next week so we can see that review!
I haven't picked up the latest Ahsoka. I'm waiting on the Mando vintage based off Rosario Dawson's likeness, hopefully with improved articulation. I'll definitely be picking up the Death Watch Mando too! ShowZ sounds alright! My order is finally in the UK, so I'll hopefully get it early next week!
Hoi hoi! Great top 10! I’ve found that only on the last year or two they’ve had the 1/18 scale stuff. I feel like it’s made a comeback. Before then I think it was only cheap sort of figures usually for kids. It’s definitely ok the way up again. Do you know when the Parallel War stuff is coming out? And where can you get it from? The toy news you do is great for the 1/18th community. I really appreciate the work you put into doing it so we can watch it. Keep them coming
Cheers Lockdown. Great to have you back! Yeah, there's definitely been a growth in better quality figures all round. Still no word on release date for Parallel War, but Ailinna store on Aliexpress did have a few PGV figures stocked. Hands full at the moment, but should have a new News vid out this week!
@@lockdownproductions435 I managed to get one PGV at normal retail $35 but the ones on Ailinna are going for more. I got a basic fig for 40 quid. The other ones with more accessories were going for 70. The Pocket Universe figs were available for pre-order direct from the site, but BBTS are also stocking them. They're about $60 each
@@SkellywagsTV Thank you. I’ll look into that as soon as I can. They might be a bit too pricey for me at the moment so I’m hoping that the more available they are, the better the prices will be. I’ve been buying the JoyToy Fearless Tiger figures and buying the heads from 118 Spartan Heads but their website has now been shut down. Do you know what has happened there?
You surprised me with the #1 for sure--not that Hiro isn't deserving, just didn't know which one would wind up there, and didn't think it would be him. Hiro and Void and Smith were definitely awesome gets this year.
The top four in particular changed quite a bit up until the time of recording. In the end, the unique, badass design, ability to store all weapons and great articulation won me over. Having said that, any of those top 4 could be number one on any given day. Void is there along with Hiro and Yamato with the brothers lol did you have a top figure for last year?
Top 10!!! Hell yeah! I also like your number 1, except I head swapped it with no.10 Kaleb. Totally cyberpunk look lol
Nice! I've seen someone on Instagram do the same. The body is very versatile with other heads and definitely has those cool cyberpunk vibes!
Number 3 were dope makes me want to dive back in to acid rain
Would be worth it, if only for the new Yamato faction. New bucks and design aesthetic!

Yeah just wishful thinking. I really wish Someone good would take up the fallout title though.
Perhaps when a new game comes out!
Going to check out the Rego figure for sure. Great picks bro.
Definitely a great figure and worth checking out
Happy new year skelly 😁👍and thanks for this new video
Cheers mate. Glad I was able to get the video done eventually. I've only recently got my voice back! Happy New year to you too, and all the best for the year ahead
One of best review so far keep it real !!!!
Thanks a lot mate. Really speciation the continued support!
Totally Agree with your number 1. Glad you got him and reviewed him, thats what pushed me to get him. Thanks for the vid buddy! Keep getting better!!
Thanks Gunnar! Yes, glad to hear. Really awesome figure. I hope that if Hiro sells well, it will prompt other companies to follow suit and make more of their own wacky figures.
Was a bit of a struggle with my voice, but I gave myself enough rest in-between recording.
I meant keep feeling better!
@@SkellywagsTV Your a trooper buddy. When im sick i turn into a five year old that has pneumonia. My wife HATES it when im sick. lol
Haha well yesterday was a good day! But I'm with you, prior to that I was just a useless slab of meat! I feel much better being able to do stuff
It's a tied between Reno & hiro!!! But didn't forget hiya toys Red hood & Batman and the flash.....so many figures so little time.⏳💀
Oohh I really wanted the red hood? But could not acquire him anywhere. And yet? So many I did not pick up! 💀
I'm a bit surprised that Void didn't beat out Hiro for you but Void doesn't have a place to store his bat on the figure so I can see where that might have cost him the spot.

@@SkellywagsTV Understood, they all look so good. Hard to get them all.
Yeah, at this rate it'll be more difficult than acquiring all Pokémon 😉
@@SkellywagsTV Haha, right on.👊👊😎
Well done, amigo!
Gracias muchacho! It was a difficult list to compile lol
I'd have the same number one, and somewhat similar list
Yeah buddy! Really appreciate your eclectic sensibilities AAT. Your vids help me pick some of the best of the best, and showcase some wacky and awesome toys!
I picked up a wart hog a month or so ago , it's probably one of favorite ranbdom buys at target lol
