Hot Toys only? Maaaan. Ok... countdown here we go!
10. T1 T-800 (Nothing really needs to be said. Could be much higher on others' lists, but not my favorite representation of the Terminator)
9. Don Corleone (Wow. Its attention to detail still surpasses some of HT's latest)
8. Ironman Mark 6 (Could and SHOULD be higher on this list. I just hate not being able to pose him with his hand straight out, palm open in action pose)
7. T2 T-800 (Very impressive and a real eye catcher. Still have the new DX pre-ordered, but I will still probably be keeping this machine)
6. Spiderman (Looks perfect... poses well.. and just so fun to pose! Only niggle... he really needs magnets in his feet/palms so he can pose onto metal surfaces or hold accessories better)
5 and 6 could easily be switched. SOOO HARD TO PICK!
5. Superman (I've never seen a Christopher Reeves movie in my life. The youtube video clips make me chuckle. But man... this is Superman. Even if I didn't fall in love with this guy in the 70s?, he looks impressive standing watch in my room.)
4. Blade (What can I say... loaded with accessories to pose however I fancy. Details everywhere! Even if you're unfamiliar with Blade's work... he has a huge shelf presence.)
3. Sweeney Todd (Ok.. most underrated 1/6 figure ever in my opinion. Everything is sooo detailed and accurate! He can look murderously evil, sorrowfully contemplative, or just plain uncaring depending on pose. And all my female friends flock to this one for some reason)
2. King Leonidas (I have had zero rubber issues with him... Knock on wood... There's really nothing like him on my shelf. His red cape and combat pose just really screams look at my perfection! Impossible to overlook and never disappoints.)
1. Jack Sparrow (Easily a favorite for anyone looking at my collection. The accessories, PERS, and two face sculpts make for countless possibilities. Just hard to pick one! Only knock... he's lonely without his Barbossa)
2012 Outlook.... Expect Iron Monger, The Hulk, and Luke Skywalker to knock a few off this list. I also have high hopes for the new DX Terminator T-800, Jake Sully, and the other Avengers. Also really hope the Tumbler is as amazing as I think it'll be... and really really hope they knock the TDKR out of the park... and a HEALTH LEDGER JOKER 2.0 for me to grab!!!
