Top 10 figures of 2018

So uh, seeing as how the year's almost over, and I don't have any customs to post (that I'm aware of at least) and cause I've seen people do their own top 10 figures and what not, I'd thought I'd do mine version of it. So yeh, let'sa go.

10: Studio Series Deluxe Lockdown. This figure could've been better. Sure it's a decent upgrade from the AoE Deluxe figure, but TLK's Hot Rod was already an improvement of that. I guess the biggest problem with this figure is that it doesn't work to well im the scaling system that's been set up for the Studio Series line. If this were a voyager, I think this figure would've been much better. Articulation is also on a bit of a low point but still decent. This isn't a bad figure, it's just an underwhelming figure.

99:Studio Series Deluxe VW Bumblebee (Bumblebee Movie) Okay, so I was hyped for this figure, and I do still think it's pretty good. But it unfortunately suffers from the same problem as Lockdown in that it's a bit too small. Granted that's for scaling purposes and it works on that level cause he's small in the movie this form apperas in. The problem with the size is that it makes the transformation incredibly difficult, to the point that I'm scared to fold the roof all the way without breaking it. Converting to car mode is also difficult in that the roof panel doesn't like to line up all that well. Articulation is better than that of Lockdowns, which really helps make the figure more fun imo.

8: Studio Series Deluxe Dropkick. Like the previous entries on this list, I think the size of the figure is what really hurts the figure. But instead of a difficult transformation or limited range of articulation, it's more of a quality thing. The arms feel super thin thanks to them forming the heli-tail, and the wings on his back pop off ever time you try and transform him. I also believe that in making him so small, they also hurt the ability to try and make him a triple-changer, and by only chosing his heli-mode, I think it makes him actually look worse than what his car-mode would've looked like on its own. Of all the characters I'd want a MPM version of, I think Dropkick here would benefit the most from it.

7: Studio Series Deluxe Ratchet. For what it's worth, this is a great figure. Great size as a deluxe, simple transformation, and two nice color schemes to choose from along with two weapons as well. I chose the Dotm look just cause I think it's more pleasing and it has the gun as opposed to the saw. The only drawback of this figurrle is the coatail made from the headrack of the v-mode. It's rather unsightly on a figure that just boasts of accuracy. The articulation is also great on him as well. If you want a random figure to pick from, pick him.

6: Studio Series Deluxe Stinger. Being one of the first figures that I picked up for the SS line, he was a real good start to a really great line that I hope continues onward next year. V-mode is actually what it's suposed to be instead of a red camaro, transformation is so unique and something I've never seen before, leaving just about no kibble what-so-ever, and the articulation is great. I've yet to pick up the KSI Sentry retool of this figure, but I'm honestly excited to when I do find him.

5: Studio Series Leader Blackout. I've waited for this figure for almost 10 years, and now that I've got him, I kinda wish we had gotten him 10 years ago. He probably would've been much bigger than he is now and probably with electronics too. But regardless, this is a good looking figure nonetheless and only suffers from a rather difficult transformation. Heli-mode is nice and big though so that is a plus.

4: MPM-5 Barricade. This was a figure I didn't think I'd be getting, but I saw him on sale on Amazon for pretty cheap and I went ahead and got him. And wow he's pretty good. Articulation in the arms is something to be desired and the wheel wrecker weapon isn't all that great, but I find myself messing with him more often than not. A good figure overall and I got him for about half the price so that's even better.

3: Studio Series Deluxe Jazz. Wow, what an icredible figure at an incredibly small size. This guy is so poseable and so highly detailed, it's a wonder they haven't upsized this to be a MPM figure yet. Only drawback is the backpack, but it's not that bad. Transformation is a bit tricky, but satisfying once you've learned its secrets. This is a figure I can recommend to anyone because of just how fun he really is.

2: Studio Series Leader Grimlock. This is the figure we shoudl've gotten with AoE. Not that potato looking plum. This figure is truely Masterpiece level of both detailing and articulation. Transformation is also easy to do, so you could buy this for your kid and let them have a blast with it. Truely a masterpiece.

1: Studio Series Deluxe '77 Bumblebee. This is a biased pick purely because it's both the first SS figure I picked up, and because the original 2007 version of this figure was the first movir figure I got. This dude brought back so many memories that it instantly became a favorite for me. Aure the transformation is finicky, but it's been fixed in later releases. Articulation is standard, but fun nonetheless. And the weapon piece is nicely detailed and non-gimicky. Super glad this was the starting off point for the SS line and ultimately glad they made him.

So yeh, that's my top 10. Sure it's only SS figures, and that's mainly because I only bought SS figures this year cause I honestly think the Potp line was bad and the new Seige line has yet to release here in Texas. If any of ya'll want to say what your favorite figures were, let me know and why they were. Everyone has their own personal favorites and that's fine cause if we were all the same, there'd be no reason for any of this. But yeh, hope ya'll have had a Merry Xmas and have a great new year.
