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)

I always watch these and end up wanting a Warduke. I should order one.

Dan doesn't collect vehicles in the same way he doesn't collect Masters of the Universe.

Never thought I'd see an Alf action figure again, and in one of your top ten. Thats great!

I just got Classified Shipwreck today - he’s probably a top ten for me this year.

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.

The only certainties in life are death, taxes, and a boba fett will make every one of Dans Top 10 😂

Is it bad how much I love to see you agonize over making your cuts and then arranging the top 10? 😆

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

It’s always nice to see some cool figure reminders on these & Dan going through his thoughts process.

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

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

Masterverse is absolutely killing it this year. Man-E-Faces is my personal top pick so far.

You're a man after my own heart. I've always LOVED Ankylosaurus! Great video!

I love listening to your thought process on narrowing down your top 10!

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

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

Whoooohooo! Thanks Dan!

Thumbs up for the Zayres reference!

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Weird how far the Masterverse line has come, it was pretty much written off after the first wave.

Warduke holding it down I don’t collect Neca but he is simply amazing must have figure

Dan, I love the passion you have for action figures. I'm not an action figure guy; my thing on KZfaq 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

Great to see The Hidden still hanging in there against so many other good figures.

The Mutant Mayhem toys are awesome!

Just purchased NECCA WARDUKE. Thanks for that much needed push 😁👍

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. 🙂

You could also customize Iceman into a Crystar character if you want to pair him with the forthcoming Crystar action figure

Lol I totally understand shelf dive Only true collectors fully understand the Agony and importance of avoiding it😢

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 don't know that anyone is judging you about this vehicle thing as harshly as yourself. Get what makes ya happy dude!

The Microman Time Traveller is awesome :D Still have the originals :D

My list and yes, I'm a transformer collector 1 Shipwreck (GI Joe) 2 Origin Jazz 3 Beachcomber 4 Shattered Glass Grimlock 5 Cover Girl (GI Joe) 6 Senator Shockwave 7 Twincast 8 The core class Dinobots 9 Orion Pax 10 Spider-Gwen (Marvel Legends)

If you get a chance, you should grab a Four Horsemen Figure Obscura WuKong. It’s amazing.

Warduke #1 and Kenner Boba Fett #2, but I'm biased, these are the only ones I own out of current selection.

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.

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.

Zayre's and Bradlees, where most of childhood toys came from.

I have a couple cosmic legions and in hand. Gonna predict one in the top 5 at the end of the year

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.

Happy to see Spiral!

How about you do separate cuts for each figure? Want to see more detailed shots with time stamps.

Are you going to get any of those Super 7 Ultimates The Worst figures?

Jada toys fei long is up there for me. Great list

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.

You took all the ones I like out. 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)

Did you get the Monkey King from 4 Horsemen studios?

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.

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.

What line is the Boba Fett figure from? I think it looks cool but I can’t seem to find it online.

Warduke is still numero uno for me too

wow... i have not heard about Zayre in decades.

Zares shout out! I thought it was just a Miami store growing up lol

Did you remname toy galaxy too to dan Larson

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...

Get at least the Tiger ronin from Furay toys. Beyond awesome looking figure.

Dan, if you like the sky striker put it on. if that's your favorite toy of the year don't be shamed make it your favorite toy of the year

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.

Middletown makes sense, they have a navy base right next door

Good stuff, Dan. ✌️

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!

you didn't get FMF Bullet Man? he and Alf are my top 2(i'm too poor to get 10 figures this year)

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?

Hey look at all the Masterverse you ARENT collecting! 😂 I’m falling into the same trap

"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??

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)

Top 5 Mdlx Nemesis Prime Warduke Casey jones as the phantom Ultimate April O'Neil (cartoon) Indiana Jones

I like Warduke but really wished he was 1/12

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.

in reference to Phantom Ranger "I feel bad putting the same figure in two years in a row".... stares in Boba Fett

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.

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)

Fyi Slap a 2000x Clawful head on your Clawful.... Looks even More Awesome!!!

boba fett is the dude

Don't sleep on the Monkey King!

Why no Jada toys street fighter Ryu or FEI long? Those are great figures!

Once Origin's Snake Mountain comes into play.......all other things will loose.

Today I learned that I’ve been mispronouncing ankylosaurus my whole life.

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!

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.

After the debacle of the Larry Hama Kickstarter figure, I’ll never EVER buy anything from Fresh Monkey Fiction

Thanks for reminding me I need to rip-off , er, I mean also do my top 10 video

Have you considered dam toys Freezeman?

Loved at the end Boba Fett just leaned back into the other figures like he was tired and over standing there.

Dan is obviously not into modern Transformers 😢

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 😂❤

Glad to see one of the Boss Fight Epic Skeletons making the grade! Hope you like my art on the packaging, Dan.

haha

Do I look forward to any other figure video than this?? I don’t think so…

So you dont like action force??

Have yet to do my full top 10, but NECA Mirage Splinter is definitely close to #1

👍

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.
