@ToyGalaxy all three of the wave 2 figures are showing up, deadeye duck, stealth mission bucky, and most relevant to you (cause translucent) astral projection jenny are showing up.
Love when you do these videos, it's very entertaining and interesting. Those of us who've been following you on social media for a bit now aren't very surprised by any of these choices. We all know Warduke is gonna be number one and that there's gotta be a Boba somewhere lol
Zayre’s. Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. I remember poking a hole a 2 liter of pop with a safety pin in my local store. Thinking back, I feel bad for whomever had to clean that up. As usual, top notch angst, Dan. I didn’t even know there was an invis Phantom Ranger figure.
As a collector with limited amount of shelf space I appreciate and empathize with this process as I go through it far to often... it breaks my heart to have to bin something.
@jesseperry9602 funny you say it like that. When you line up all 5 colors of The Hidden they do have a Power Rangers vibe. I call them the Micro Rangers.
@betaraybob wow, never even considered that. I always think of Voltron and Ultraman as being the inspiration for what the Power Rangers did, but I can certainly see some Micro Man in there too
Always a delight to watch these videos every year, Dan! I sympathize with your yearly plight so much 😅! But, maaaan, did you break my heart taking out Wicket and Clawful! All good, anyways! Thank you for your videos!
It came out of the gate weird, for sure. I grabbed He-Man, Scareglow and God Skeletor from Revelations and assumed I was done with the line. Oh have things have changed.
14:25 whoaaaa haven't heard *_Zayre_* stores mentioned in a long time!! I remember Caldors & Bradlees was relatuvely close to where I grew up, but on one of the rare occasions we went to distant areas & stopped at a Zayre, was the *_ONLY_* time I saw a M.A.S.K. Goliath in store. Someone opened the box and there were pieces of the vehicle scattered throughout the aisle, and me and my paper route money was really contemplating trying to scavenge the parts and buying it. I didn't, because I didn't know what "all the parts" actually were. I went decades without that set before buying it loose as an adult ~10years ago.
My top ten figures I've gotten this year so far (might have been released years before): 1. Mythic Legions Duban 2. Mythic Legions Xylernian Guard 3. Neca Warduke 4. Indiana Jones Adventure Series Indy 5. Figura Obscura Headless Horseman 6. Jakks Breath of the Wild Link and Zelda (basically a pair) 7. GI Joe Classified Series Outback (standard release) 8. Star Wars Black Series Luke Skywalker (imperial Light Cruiser) 8. Mcfarlane Netflix The Witcher S2 Ciri 9. Star Wars Vintage Collection Obi Wan (series) 10. Mcfarlane Netflix The Witcher S1 Geralt
Zayre! Man what blast from the past! Really digging the Micronauts/Microman homage figure. Think I'm going to check that out! Gotta tell you, Dan, This would be a really tough proccess for me to handle. Everything I have would be in the top ten. I just love toys! LOL! I think you're doing well so far. Looking forward to Part 3 in a few months
Always fun seeing these videos! I'm not sure, but I think right now my top ten is: the NECA Zog, Powertown Wrestling Bruiser Brody, MotU Origins Grizzlor, WWE Ultimate Edition Bret Hart, NECA ALF, MotU Origins Mekaneck and Road Ripper, Batman Classic TV Egghead, GI Joe Classified Storm Shadow, NECA Deluxe Ultimate ET, and Powertown Wrestling Lou Thesz. The TMNT 3 and Mirage sets, WWE Superstars Mr. T, SDCC Muhammad Ali, Coliseum Collection Roddy Piper, and a number of Universal Monsters all have a good shot at making their ways in whenever I can get them. 🙂
Yay! I thought I was the only person whose favorite dinosaur is the ankylosaur! My Mom worked at a Zayre in the mid-80’s. Oh that sweet employee discount, lol.
Did that display stand come with Spiral? It looks like a Heroscape tile piece. (I'm not a fan of Heroscape the game, but the tiles are great for playing BattleTech on)
Dan, I love the passion you have for action figures. I'm not an action figure guy; my thing on UA-cam is classic rock review and criticism. However, I love watching videos from people who are really enthusiastic about anything. It's infectious - you think, "Hey, maybe I need to try that and see if it ignites a passion in me, too!" So, I've ordered some Joy Toys Warhammer 40K figures. I'm sure that I'll enjoy just owning and displaying them, and we'll see if anything happens beyond that. I'm a few years older than you and Micronauts were my toy. I was 9 when Star Wars hit theaters in 1977 and was, naturally, a Star Wars Fanatic. You would think that I would have loved the Kenner toys, but actually I hated them. I thought that compared to Micronauts, Star Wars toys were terrible. No articulation, no interchangeable parts, they were inferior in every way except for branding.
Came here for a English video that also compares it Marvel Legends. You didn’t disappoint. This Hibernation Chamber has so many uses. Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy cloning vats, Weapon X testing chamber etc. I could go on and on. Just happy it’s so cheap
Must admit that when I saw the initial line up for this video my first thought was "were there no Boba Fetts released this year?". But it turns out he was just hiding.
I have no real connection to Spiral at all but I had to get her because she's just such a beautiful looking figure. Definitely the first time a six armed character doesn't look wonky as all hell. At least that I've seen. For Marvel.
Boba Fett practically begging to be cut falling over so much. 😂 Hooray for Hammond rep on the top 10! Metriacanthosaurus is probably your best bet on a combatant should you want any in the future.
These are always so fun to watch if not a bit nerve wracking because I can feel your pain lol. But this also taught me that the AWOK Atreiu came out this year. I had that figure gifted to me earlier in the year and I thought it came out at the end of last year for some reasons so I omitted it from my mid-year list. The line so good but that figure in particular took me so much by surprise that I'm rooting for it to go the distance on your list haha.
10. Mezco Superman man of Steel 9. Mezco Destro 8. Action Force Warpath Eclipse 7. Mafex Magneto 6. Mafex Huntress 5. Furay Planet Veteran Willam 4. Loose Collector Red Sojna 3. Mafex Conan the Destroyer 2. Jada Fei Long 1. Mafex Nightwing I made some of the same mods. Using the Fwoosh swords with Spiral and marauders with StormShadow. I am surprised that the adventure series Indiana Jones made the cut. He’s so frustrating… you can’t push the mushroom head pegs back in once they are out. But I love the Boss fight skeletons and Boreus mythic legions.
Oh I haven't had any issues with my Indy other than that belt strap for the whip. It's the only figure I'm getting from the line. The fact that it's a nice looking, modern Indiana Jones figure is doing all the heavy lifting. Even if it isn't perfect.
Nice. I'm just starting to collect figures. I will collect joy toy figures,vehicles,Mechs,and diorama displays. 2. Mythic and cosmic legions.3 Valverse, figures, and vehicle.4. AWOK figures 5 Star Wars figures, vehicles, diorama sets. 6 Operation Monster force figures 7. Horror figures and display sets 8. 12"GI Joe figures,vehicles ect...
Ice Man is the best looking figure of that character in recent years. Tough choices. Wow Skystriker out for now. Surprised. I think the current top ten is pretty solid.
My favorite figure of the year arrived in March. The Mithril Action Studio 1/12 Guardian of the Horde. Shortly after that I received Mezco Predator, Ghost Rider, and Conan. Yeesh it’s been an expensive first half.
Love your arguments with the invisible critic, "Get off my back!". I'm hoping the HISS leaves treadmarks on the "also ran" as it rolls to a respectable spot in the next quarter, or end of the year. Also, I'm not sure what's in the New England water these days (Buzz-Off beat out Clawful and Two-Bad?), but keep doing what you're doing. Fun stuff!
Lol. It's fun to pretend like this stuff matters. I take it WAY too seriously. I can almost guarantee you that both Buzz Off and Clawful will make my 2023 Final Yearbook photo at the end.
A tiny bit shocked no GI Joe made it, but at the same time I am looking over what I got for the past couple months and nothing really thrilled me. think 2nd half of year will be much better with Joe releases.
I don't even have Torpedo in hand yet and I can almost guarantee he will be in the final 10 for the year. Plus I'm going to have to make a decision about that Haslab HISS tank soon.
@@ToyGalaxy i keep forgetting about the HISS. And I agree that Torpedo is probably my most wanted for the next couple months, and Snowjob looks pretty awesome too.
So we’re all in agreement that we want a toy galaxy crew neck breast pocket tee with “WAR DUKE FOREVER” on the back, around a giant war duke face, and a sword on the breast pocket, right?
I bought this one: teefury.com/products/tee-mens-basic-heavy-metal-evil?variant=40195463479362&srsltid=ASuE1wT86lQ6kDpOXq1VL3lpkSNQzjRAiPyBYakMd8ZYdieK2xw-0hGwO4g&com_cvv=d30042528f072ba8a22b19c81250437cd47a2f30330f0ed03551c4efdaf3409e
I hat to say it, but NECA has been dominating my top ten list. Usually one company doesn't take so many slots. Neca Triceraton Zog (TMNT Mirage Comics) Mithril Action Studio 1/12 Guardian of Horde Orc Neca The Last Ronin (Armored) Neca Gargoyles Brooklyn Neca Gargoyles Broadway Neca Mirage TMNT 4-Pack (Lawson Turtles) Four Horsemen Figure Obscura: Sun Wukong Spero Animal Warriors of the Kingdom Chunari Legionary Neca Shredder Clones 4 Armed and Shrimp (TMNT Mirage Comics) Neca Mirage Splinter (TMNT)
I'm so glad I'm not a die hard turtles fan. I've got my movie turtles and that's enough for me. Otherwise... I don't know how I would collect anything other than turtles.
@@ToyGalaxy I can't say I'm a huge Turtle fan, not like others I know. But some of the Mirage TMNT figures are really nice. Hitting the right notes for me.
"Ah yes, Mr Larson... you've indicated on your forms that you do NOT collect Masters of the Universe, nor do you collect vehicles. Well, it seems your recent lab tests have produced some very... interesting results. Anything you'd care to revise?" Anyways... that Buzz Off is on my top ten list of things to acquire! Was he secretly, for all these years, always been the best of us??
Top figures so far: 1. Pandora (Action Force) 2. Alf (NECA) 3. King Hiss (Masters of the Universe Origins) 4. Buzz-Off New Eternia (Masters of the Universe Masterverse) 5. Blue Senturion (Power Rangers Lightning Collection) 6. Warduke (NECA - Dungeons & Dragons) 7. Android Body Krang (The Loyal Subjects Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) 8. Eclipse (Action Force) 9. Shovel Knight (Good Smile Company - Nendoroid)
@@ToyGalaxy What good figures do. ;) I have Saurozoic Warriors Triax Skiver coming and I've been tempted on the Skeletons (the Cowboy has me most excited) so the year still has a way to go for surprises/disappointments.
I would love for this to be his reintroduction as a regular action figure and get him at a bunch of different scales in different styles. Time will tell.
@ToyGalaxy I understand... Can't buy everything. Tons of figures out there. I got this on a whim, but man I was absolutely blown away when I opened it up. Wired tail, wired cloth goods, changeable faceplates, super detailed paint and sculpts, plus really beautiful packaging. I think its the best figure the 4H have done in a long time.
Glenn absolutely your list is lacking except for the buzzoff. If you haven't grabbed ahold of a jada toys streetfighting action figure then you've lost your grip, and all that you've learned from your years and years and years of nerdness. Very unfartworthy Glenn 😂❤
Dan...honestly we would think less of you if you pretended you WEREN'T a mark for that Kenner colored Boba Fett. Lol Not for nothing, but i dont like the character of Spiral, i dont collect Marvel Legends, and 6 inch is not my preferred scale, but my god that figure is just amazing! One last thing, if the Skystriker doesnt find its way back into the Top 10 I'll be very surprised!
@@ToyGalaxy yep. It was such a bad experience that I can’t support them again. The figure was bad too. I just threw it out. You’ve peaked my interest on the Warduke figure though. Love that style of figure.
I don't think I'll even have bought 10 toys total by the end of the year, but I know Legacy Armada Prime would be way high up there if I had, and he hasn't even arrived yet.
If you have Ollie's in your area, they have the Boss Fight studios Bucky O Hare figs (5.99) and a lot of Marvels legends (9.99)
For years we didn't have one in my area, but I checked the other day and it looks like there's one just an hour away. Will check it out soon!
@ToyGalaxy all three of the wave 2 figures are showing up, deadeye duck, stealth mission bucky, and most relevant to you (cause translucent) astral projection jenny are showing up.
My area only got bucky and deadeye. I bought 2. 2 for play and 2 for keeps
Never thought I'd see an Alf action figure again, and in one of your top ten. Thats great!
I always watch these and end up wanting a Warduke. I should order one.
The only certainties in life are death, taxes, and a boba fett will make every one of Dans Top 10 😂
It’s always nice to see some cool figure reminders on these & Dan going through his thoughts process.
I just got Classified Shipwreck today - he’s probably a top ten for me this year.
Love when you do these videos, it's very entertaining and interesting. Those of us who've been following you on social media for a bit now aren't very surprised by any of these choices. We all know Warduke is gonna be number one and that there's gotta be a Boba somewhere lol

As usual, top notch angst, Dan. I didn’t even know there was an invis Phantom Ranger figure.
Is it bad how much I love to see you agonize over making your cuts and then arranging the top 10? 😆
I appreciate you.
Dans torture is our entertainment.
My top 10 so far:
Character - IP - Brand
1. Alice Synthesis Thirty - Sword Art Online - figma
2. Baroness (with Cobra C.O.I.L.) - G.I. Joe - Classified Series
3. Krang (The Wrath of Krang) - TMNT - NECA
4. Dino Fury Green Ranger - Power Rangers - Lightning Collection
5. Dark Precure - Hearthcatch Pretty Cure! - S.H.Figuarts
6. Samus Aran (4in Series) - Metroid - Jakks Pacific
7. Crimson Guard - G.I. Joe - Classified Series
8. Slicer - Transformers - Shattered Glass
9. Rin Shima - Laid-Back Camp - figma
10. Yotaroh - Arpeggio of Blue Steel - Figma
Honorable mention: Samiss (Justin Bailey Peach) - Minibits - Alien Robot Monster
2023 toys that will likely be on my list:
Metroid Dead Samus - Metroid - figma
Arcee - Transformers - Flame Toys
Hemet Nethel - Falslander - figma
Violet - Persona 5 - figma
Masterverse is absolutely killing it this year. Man-E-Faces is my personal top pick so far.
I love listening to your thought process on narrowing down your top 10!
Dan doesn't collect vehicles in the same way he doesn't collect Masters of the Universe.
You're a man after my own heart. I've always LOVED Ankylosaurus! Great video!
As a collector with limited amount of shelf space I appreciate and empathize with this process as I go through it far to often... it breaks my heart to have to bin something.
Great to see The Hidden still hanging in there against so many other good figures.
Go go 1:18 scale!
@jesseperry9602 funny you say it like that. When you line up all 5 colors of The Hidden they do have a Power Rangers vibe. I call them the Micro Rangers.
@betaraybob wow, never even considered that. I always think of Voltron and Ultraman as being the inspiration for what the Power Rangers did, but I can certainly see some Micro Man in there too
Can't believe you picked Alf over Dracula lol
I'm loving the Universal monsters from Neca....I can't wait to see the Creature
Always a delight to watch these videos every year, Dan! I sympathize with your yearly plight so much 😅! But, maaaan, did you break my heart taking out Wicket and Clawful! All good, anyways! Thank you for your videos!
They can get back in! It's never over til its over!
Weird how far the Masterverse line has come, it was pretty much written off after the first wave.
It came out of the gate weird, for sure. I grabbed He-Man, Scareglow and God Skeletor from Revelations and assumed I was done with the line. Oh have things have changed.
I like masterverse better than origins. Origins is a nice remember when feeling but as an adult collector I like the masterverse display more.
14:25 whoaaaa haven't heard *_Zayre_* stores mentioned in a long time!!
I remember Caldors & Bradlees was relatuvely close to where I grew up, but on one of the rare occasions we went to distant areas & stopped at a Zayre, was the *_ONLY_* time I saw a M.A.S.K.

I went decades without that set before buying it loose as an adult ~10years ago.
I think Boba Fett kept falling because of all the references you use on your other channel. (Which gets me every time.)
Idk how many of these I’ve watched by now. Definitely all of them for sure
Good stuff, Dan. ✌️
My top ten figures I've gotten this year so far (might have been released years before):
1. Mythic Legions Duban
2. Mythic Legions Xylernian Guard
3. Neca Warduke
4. Indiana Jones Adventure Series Indy
5. Figura Obscura Headless Horseman

What line is the Boba Fett figure from? I think it looks cool but I can’t seem to find it online.
It's from the Star Wars Vintage Collection. It was a Target exclusive.
@@ToyGalaxy Thanks Dan.
Yay! I thought I was the only person whose favorite dinosaur is the ankylosaur!
My Mom worked at a Zayre in the mid-80’s. Oh that sweet employee discount, lol.
Did that display stand come with Spiral? It looks like a Heroscape tile piece. (I'm not a fan of Heroscape the game, but the tiles are great for playing BattleTech on)
No, Dan explained the base at 26:29.
I mention it in the video but you might not have heard me explain it. It's from the first wave of Avenger movie Marvel Legends back in 2010 I believe.
@@ToyGalaxy I did indeed miss it in the video, thanks Dan and @jameslin3132
Warduke holding it down I don’t collect Neca but he is simply amazing must have figure
Whoooohooo! Thanks Dan!

in reference to Phantom Ranger "I feel bad putting the same figure in two years in a row".... stares in Boba Fett
Boba Fett is the exception to EVERY rule. LOL
If you get a chance, you should grab a Four Horsemen Figure Obscura WuKong. It’s amazing.
But where is it available now?
Just purchased NECCA WARDUKE. Thanks for that much needed push 😁👍
Came here for a English video that also compares it Marvel Legends. You didn’t disappoint.
This Hibernation Chamber has so many uses. Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy cloning vats, Weapon X testing chamber etc. I could go on and on. Just happy it’s so cheap
The Mutant Mayhem toys are awesome!
Did you get the Monkey King from 4 Horsemen studios?
Thumbs up for the Zayres reference!
Must admit that when I saw the initial line up for this video my first thought was "were there no Boba Fetts released this year?". But it turns out he was just hiding.
Yeah and I have to admit that I'm not super in love with the BOBF suit. It's ESB/ROTJ and Kenner colors for me.
You could also customize Iceman into a Crystar character if you want to pair him with the forthcoming Crystar action figure
How about you do separate cuts for each figure? Want to see more detailed shots with time stamps.
Did you remname toy galaxy too to dan Larson
The Microman Time Traveller is awesome :D
Still have the originals :D
Are you going to get any of those Super 7 Ultimates The Worst figures?
I have no real connection to Spiral at all but I had to get her because she's just such a beautiful looking figure. Definitely the first time a six armed character doesn't look wonky as all hell. At least that I've seen. For Marvel.
Warduke #1 and Kenner Boba Fett #2, but I'm biased, these are the only ones I own out of current selection.
Happy to see Spiral!
She's SO good.
I don't know that anyone is judging you about this vehicle thing as harshly as yourself. Get what makes ya happy dude!
Oh I know. It's just me having fun with a self-imposed system.
That neca dracula is by far one of the best figures of this year. Behind him would be the creature from the black lagoon.
I should be getting my Creature tomorrow. Definitely my favorite of the Universal Monsters.
I have a couple cosmic legions and in hand. Gonna predict one in the top 5 at the end of the year
If Poxxus is in hand (currently scheduled for Q4) that dragonborn is a lock.
Lol
I totally understand shelf dive
Only true collectors fully understand the Agony and importance of avoiding it😢
you didn't get FMF Bullet Man? he and Alf are my top 2(i'm too poor to get 10 figures this year)
I had to take it easy on the FMF figures. They're awesome but they're not cheap and 1/18 isn't really my primary scale.
@@ToyGalaxy yeah it's the only FMF i have. $40 shipped by a friend that went to the con. see you on GDL tonight!
I only have 2 of the figures in your top 10. For me the Indy and Fett nostalgia would have rated them higher. Unfortunately I missed out on that Fett.
Boba Fett practically begging to be cut falling over so much. 😂 Hooray for Hammond rep on the top 10! Metriacanthosaurus is probably your best bet on a combatant should you want any in the future.

"Ah yes, Mr Larson... you've indicated on your forms that you do NOT collect Masters of the Universe, nor do you collect vehicles. Well, it seems your recent lab tests have produced some very... interesting results. Anything you'd care to revise?"
Anyways... that Buzz Off is on my top ten list of things to acquire! Was he secretly, for all these years, always been the best of us??
It's possible! Love that bee man!
Today I learned that I’ve been mispronouncing ankylosaurus my whole life.
Don't trust me. I might be pronouncing it wrong.
@@ToyGalaxy I now realize that the way I was pronouncing it doesn’t even match the spelling. I was saying “anklyosaurus.”
Top figures so far:
1. Pandora (Action Force)
2. Alf (NECA)
3. King Hiss (Masters of the Universe Origins)
4. Buzz-Off New Eternia (Masters of the Universe Masterverse)
5. Blue Senturion (Power Rangers Lightning Collection)
6. Warduke (NECA - Dungeons & Dragons)
7. Android Body Krang (The Loyal Subjects Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
8. Eclipse (Action Force)
9. Shovel Knight (Good Smile Company - Nendoroid)
Oh we have some overlap. Nice!
@@ToyGalaxy What good figures do. ;) I have Saurozoic Warriors Triax Skiver coming and I've been tempted on the Skeletons (the Cowboy has me most excited) so the year still has a way to go for surprises/disappointments.
I like Warduke but really wished he was 1/12
I would love for this to be his reintroduction as a regular action figure and get him at a bunch of different scales in different styles. Time will tell.
Once Origin's Snake Mountain comes into play.......all other things will loose.
For me? No. I don't own any playsets and don't plan to get any.
Top 5
Mdlx Nemesis Prime
Warduke
Casey jones as the phantom
Ultimate April O'Neil (cartoon)
Indiana Jones
Loved at the end Boba Fett just leaned back into the other figures like he was tired and over standing there.
Don't sleep on the Monkey King!
You know... it looks great but I didn't get it. Something about it just wasn't working for me. And with prices being what they are I need to be sure.
@ToyGalaxy I understand... Can't buy everything. Tons of figures out there. I got this on a whim, but man I was absolutely blown away when I opened it up. Wired tail, wired cloth goods, changeable faceplates, super detailed paint and sculpts, plus really beautiful packaging. I think its the best figure the 4H have done in a long time.
Fyi Slap a 2000x Clawful head on your Clawful.... Looks even More Awesome!!!
Oh I don't mind the current head at all. A nice balance between the vintage/200x/MOTUC.
boba fett is the dude
Glad to see one of the Boss Fight Epic Skeletons making the grade! Hope you like my art on the packaging, Dan.
Glenn absolutely your list is lacking except for the buzzoff. If you haven't grabbed ahold of a jada toys streetfighting action figure then you've lost your grip, and all that you've learned from your years and years and years of nerdness. Very unfartworthy Glenn 😂❤
Dan...honestly we would think less of you if you pretended you WEREN'T a mark for that Kenner colored Boba Fett. Lol
Not for nothing, but i dont like the character of Spiral, i dont collect Marvel Legends, and 6 inch is not my preferred scale, but my god that figure is just amazing!
One last thing, if the Skystriker doesnt find its way back into the Top 10 I'll be very surprised!
It's going to be a tough call. Might come down to the fact that it just won't fit in my final team photo at the end of the year.
Have you considered dam toys Freezeman?
I've seen the pics. Not really something I need at this time.
@@ToyGalaxy just thought a more in scale iceman as you mentioned dst too big but maybe that's too small!
After the debacle of the Larry Hama Kickstarter figure, I’ll never EVER buy anything from Fresh Monkey Fiction
Your prerogative of course.
@@ToyGalaxy yep. It was such a bad experience that I can’t support them again. The figure was bad too. I just threw it out. You’ve peaked my interest on the Warduke figure though. Love that style of figure.
Thanks for reminding me I need to rip-off , er, I mean also do my top 10 video
No worries, dude. I didn't invent Top 10 lists. 😄
@@ToyGalaxy I mean mine is every 4 months so I’ve got time too 🤣
That Cover Girl is so disappointing. I like everything about it but the headsculpt. If you're a Shipwreck guy, he's in my top 5 of they year.
Cover Girl's head doesn't bother me. I have Shipwreck preordered on BBTS and Amazon... neither have delivered yet.
Dan is obviously not into modern Transformers 😢
I don't think I'll even have bought 10 toys total by the end of the year, but I know Legacy Armada Prime would be way high up there if I had, and he hasn't even arrived yet.
Do I look forward to any other figure video than this?? I don’t think so…
Have yet to do my full top 10, but NECA Mirage Splinter is definitely close to #1
So you dont like action force??
With Boba Fett and Warduke both locked in, shouldn't they then be #'s 1 and 2 in your line-up? Confused.
Not necessarily. I know Fett will be in the Top 10, but I'm not sure he's a number 2.
haha
