#10. DC Icons Aquaman
I did not expect him on this list, but it is --1. Nice that he made it and 2. Painfully funny that he is once again last on a list. I do actually like the figure, even with the gimmicky telepathy effect! He's simple, sleek and I like the glossy green parts of his suit.

#9. DC Icons Nightwing
He's always had a simple design in costume but Nightwing is my favorite in DC comics and this figure is my favorite Nightwing of the ones I own. I love the idea of a sidekick evolving to be his own thing. It's a natural progression that isn't often taken advantage of in comics. His kali sticks could be less plain but I'll be damned if I don't find his face sculpt one of the best of any Arkham or DC Classics I've seen.

| DC Icons line really should've made their staves and sticks more interesting...basically that's a metal bar with no features |
#8 DC Icons Batgirl
Such a great Rebirth version of Batgirl. The fact this came with her big motorcycle is SWEET. With skid effects on the platform that comes with it! And a bunch of great accessories. She's a bit tricky to balance given the very light weight of the figure but is so great.

#7 DC Collectibles Nightwing - Arkham Knight
He's only been in two of the four games, but his appearance in Arkham Knight was very pleasing. He had speaking parts, awesome dual play fights, and even some of his own missions and challenge maps. The character has a bit to be desired though. I don't particularly like his head and mask design. His articulation from his ab is just bad. His legs and body proportions also seem kinda weird. Oh well!

#6. DC Collectibles Robin - Arkham Knight
Unlike Nightwing, I really like the new take on Robin for the Arkham Knight game. He's pretty much what he was in Arkham City, with some more body armor. The figure is pretty good, with a lot of accessories. I find him a bit too bulky. I prefer Nightwing and Robin to be sleeker. Great figure though, good choice readers!

#5. SH Figuarts Sasuke Uchiha
He's not my favourite character in Naruto, but he's got some sweet powers and has an elaborately tragic backstory! A fun figure to pose even with the skirt impeding leg movement. SH Figuarts make really good figures!

#4. SH Figuarts Naruto Uzumaki
He's the lead of the show and is a great figure. His poseability is unmatched even compared to other, later, and even better-designed figures in the line. He's one of my favs overall and my first SH Figuarts so I'm glad he made to the top 5!

| Kudos to whoever actually can create "shadow clones" with their image programs. |
#3. DC Collectibles Azrael - Arkham Knight
Such a well-done figure! He's a bit clunky and not the easiest to pose but such amazing details! The sword kicks ass and he's great. I'm a bit surprised Batman didn't make the list! Maybe people saw enough reviews or just didn't like that small head!

#2. Marvel Legends - Black Panther (Giant Man Wave)
I did not expect this figure to get so many page views given this was before the big movie, but people do love their Marvel figures, and this one is pretty nice! They really built the mold and engineered it well to put him in those iconic Black Panther poses. I actually prefer this one to the more recent figure from the movie!

#1. Playmates Toys Leonardo - TMNT 2012 series
Thank you to the apparently large Polish audience that viewed this one a LOT. This may have been a statistical anomaly (someone either sharing it or clicking it overly often?), but it made it to 1st place! I'll always have fond memories of the 2012-2017 show.

So there you have it! They weren't all my personal favourites, but I'm thankful for my readership! Without you, I'd be mostly writing into the Blogger void. I'm glad my hobby provides some entertainment and as long as I have some figures to take pictures of, I will continue on!
