Deservedly on the number 1 spot Jada Toys delivered this year 👏🏼
There's nothing more than I love hearing Anthony say Naruti and Saszuki. It's so effing cursed but so funny
NOOOOOOOOO! THOSE NEW NAAAARUTI FIGURES DID NOT GET REVIEWED BEFORE THIS LIST!!!

SHF Naruti line has been some of the best recent figures. Too bad One Piece not in par 🫤
I personally think Chun li is the best out of the 3, considering her design and being just as poseable as Fei Long, without sacrificing any aesthetic... Best 1/12 Chun Li ive ever handled.

They could atleast fix their QC issues. All of my Jada Toys SFs have loose ankle and elbow joints for barely posing in just 1 month. My friends who bought the same figures have the same issues too. I have seen other reviewers in KZread also complain about the weak ankle joints

@@javierb.4447 my chun li is like that, i fixed it with hot water and bent it to an upright position. actually, my chun li has lots of problem her sleeves and boot flaps are tucked-in under the swivel joint and really had to heat-it up and pull them out of there to fix. Then, ryu's hair and belt paint are chipping showing the white plastic underneath, i had to repaint it and seal it. for the price and the look, jada toys is awesome, but the QC is just a pain. they would be up there in my top figures, but they have to fix the QCs first.
Hasbro right now: 👁️👄👁️
This is one of the principal reasons why I’ve always liked Anthony. He does not allow his subjectivity take over on these lists. The reboot Figuarts Naruto (or let’s say “Nuhrooti”) line has been churning out solid figures, and he gives them the shoutout these figures deserve.
So glad to see the Metroid Dread figma make the list, and so high up even. I can not believe how much articulation they crammed into this little figure; it is easily the best-designed figure I own. Totally worth the money and better than all the other figma Samus figures out there (which is saying a lot).
So many good figures were release this year that 15 of them achived top 10. 😤👌
I hope Jada starts doing mortal Kombat figures

Pretty great list. Jada deserves the number one spot for sure. They give me the same excitement as SOTA did back in the day, i really hope they continue to thrive. Would love to get 3rd Strike and Alpha figures someday

I love the hasbro picks.
I've been looking forward to this!
Saw that Jada Toys Ryu figure yesterday at Frank and Son Collectibles and damn did it look nice. That arcade packaging is 🔥 saw a SOTA toys Chun Li too that didn't look half bad. Can't wait to get into some Jada stuff. Thanks for the list Anthony! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year fellow collectors!🙏🏽🙌🏻
I definitely agree with number 1. I have chun-li, ryu, and evil ryu and they are amazing! I cant wait for guile and bigger characters like t hawk! Definitely hope they get to street fighter 3 characters at some point. I need them to make an alex and dudley.
I didn't expect you to bring Darwin back and make him your #1 for this year too, but your 3 minute rant about how Hasbro's lack of paint and accessories forces us to use our imagination, and that's priceless, was pretty convincing... Kidding aside, I knew it was going to be a very competitive list as soon as I saw what (only) ranked at #10. Some really solid releases this year!
I don’t have the opportunity to collect many figures if at all except a smaller scale because of world-building. However, your number three is one I enjoyed so much. Yes it is expensive but coming up with poses that are representative of the source material is near effortless.
I definitely think that the street fighter series are great as well.
I love this time of the year and watch these top videos. Great choices!
I LOVE watching these videos, thank you , is something look forward every year
These are some pretty good figures, thanks for the recommendations.
Wonderful Top 10 List, Mister Anthony! These are some of the best, cracking action figures I have seen in all my years on this planet as a collector! Giovanni Marino, M.D.🇬🇧 P.S. The Marino family would like to formally extend our well wishes to you and yours this Christmas! Happy Christmas, Anthony!
Great list! The Jada Street Fighter figures look fantastic, definitely a well deserved number 1 spot
Yess been waiting for this
I always enjoy your year end lists. Maybe just add the MSRP for reference? My choice for #1 is NECA Creature from the Black Lagoon! Happy New Year!
Chun-li was the last figure I will probably buy this year, but man what a banger to end on. Everything, the packaging, th3 sculpt paint articulation accessories, everything is honestly top notch. She feels like a much higher price point than she is. I'm not even SF fan, but she's one of the best figures I bought this year. I only wish she came with a smiling headsculpt, but even then, she's still feels complete. Def buying Fei Long as soon as I can.
That Lawson set is amazing! They have great hand feel and heft.

I was never able to find that damn set.
Blade Master Weng is amazing. I never cared about licenses I don’t know but that figure changed my mind and got me into 3rd party figures.
I'm honestly not surprised the Jada SF line was number one. I got Chun Li the other day and while I would've loved some victory pose accessories, damn, I was blown away on every front.
You're absoluetly right on this top 15. Great list
Excellent list!
I would love to see at the end of your end of year reviews or even in a different type of review a list of most anticipated figure coming out in the upcoming year. I think that would be a great comparison review when they finally do come out and you analyze what was anticipated versus what's actually in hand.
It's been a heck of a year for figure releases, for me personally it's been a real challenge putting together a top ten, let alone ordering them tenth to first. Currently I've worked out nine of them, I'll wait until after Christmas before cementing the line-up.
That’s a solid list. I especially love the one’s that span a varied bunch of lines. We had some similar pics, but I went with Zarak for NECA D&D (whose personality and articulation surprised me) and Yolopark for a Megatron. Totally with ya on Fei Long and Chun Li; that line is 🔥 and made me buy smaller-than-my-usual figs. And Blade Master Weng kinda blew me away this year. I’ve managed to steer clear of TMNT, but that Last Ronin Raph looks fantastic. And I’d be in trouble if Figma wasn’t true 1/12; that Samus is mighty. Anyway, hope you and yours have a solid 2024. ✌🏾➕✊🏾
Definitely agreed on number one spot!
Good choice!
Awesome list. Most of my figures this year have been the megaman x model kits from kotobukiya. not sure if you ever review those but the mmx line is super cool
I’ve only been able to find 1 Jada street fighter figure so far, and that was regular Ryu. Definitely a great start to the line. My only complaint would be the distribution of them. I really don’t order stuff online, so I’d like to see them get a push at physical stores like Walmart did with NECA, McFarlane, and most recently, super7.
Shocked to see the new InuYasha not make the list---for being such a small company, they crushed that figure and the accessories were perfect
Surprised metal cooler wasn't here. Great video as always. Love your honest work!
Both your top 2 are my top 2
Got lucky and got that Raphael from Best Buy! Cannot waittttt
NECA Ralph is awesome. what’s crazy is the battle damage one looks better!
Good list, my favorite this year are the Shojo-Hatsudoki: Motored Cyborg Runner from Max factory
Thanks
yeah, the jada SF line is amazing so far, can't wait for guile and bison. some of my top figures not mentioned by you, the marvel legends no way home green goblin, black series starkiller, mezco leatherface (high price but comes with so much stuff), premium DNA battletoads, black series jedi survivor cal kestis. the rest of my favorite pickups I'm not sure if they actually came out this year.
I have the Ryu, Chun, Fei, and Evil Ryu. Passed on the Paulmart P2 Ryu, and I'm hoping to find Ken at Target soon!
I love my Warduke, what a beautiful figure and a great blast from my past.
I agree with the turtle four pack. Great figures but the lack of vertical wrist hinges and accessories negatively impacts the overall value.
Out of all the top 10's on youtube this list in my top 5 easily.
12:52 genuinely shocked they made your list. 👁️👄👁️ Anyway, here’s to a amazing 2024!🍻
I'm surprised the AXY Toys T-Rex didn't make the list at all. Definitely some good figures out this year!
LETS GO JADA! Well deserved 🙏🏽
Agreed on the new Naruto line being strong this so far, no dud yet and I love the ankle articulation. Hope they continue further than they did with the last Naruto line. With how well the SF were done cant wait for the Jada Toys Mega Man to kick off. Also need to cop thag Last Ronin considering the praise. If it werent for how expensive she was I'd get the Samus too.
Jada Toys Street Fighter line definitely gives you the best value. Amazing figures and I'm pleased to see them as your number 1 spot. Did you get Mafex Magneto? I have him as my number 1 this year. Loved Mafex Spiderman 185. Its my new best Spideman. I think the GI Joe Classified line put out amazing figures this year. Serpentor will be high on my list, I know some people got him late last year. The Cobra Commander that came with the HISS Tank will make my top ten as well. Marvel Legends MCU Green Goblin, MCU final swing Spiderman, Black Widow, Iron Man Model 1, Grey Hulk, and Blob will receive Top Ten consideration from me. I'm into the Masterverse line as well. My favorites from that line this year were Ram Man, Grizzlor, Whiplash, Buzz-Off, and Two Bad. One or two of those will make my top ten.
I got my first Jada Street Fighter figure (Fei Long) about three weeks ago. I was delighted with it till I realised he has two left arms.😳 Not noticable from a distance, but a fly in the ointment to be sure.
I was thinking there was going to be no jada toys for a second.
#3 arrived at my house yesterday :D
I need to pick up some of those Street Fighter figures.
Figma Samus for me. Either way, congrats to Jada and their Street Fighter lines.
Yea, number one was fitting. That Chun Li figure won me over Jada with that retail price. Half the price than the Phoenix Ranger (decent figure) but much better articulated. Can't wait for the repaints with hopefully different facial and hand accessories.
I'm getting that Ryu instead of the SFV counterpart by Storm. Thanks a bunch Anthony for the perfect close to 2023. Happy holidays! Ps. Never thought Naruti would ever end up on any of your top x lists, but I'm happy to see it.

I know you didn't review them but the LIMTOYS Joel & Ellie 1/12 figures (the Last of Us) are one of the highest quality 1/12 action figures ever. INCREDIBLE paint job and sculpt, great amount of accessories, fun to pose (+ not fragile). You should look into getting them sometime.
I loved the Kakashi I’m really excited for the new Obito too.
I know you really dont review much 3rd party DBZ figures, but that new Demoniacal Fit Base Goku is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Best base form Goku we have ever gotten. Has its issues, but better than almost any Goku Bandai has given us.
Samus is the best figma figure from me, but is way to expensive to put it at the number one, so i respect you...
Yea Naruti and Uncle Frank made the list!🎉🎉🎉
Have you considered doing a top 10 favorite figures of the year? I'm not sure if there'd be too much overlap with this list, but it'd be fun to see what your personal favorites were despite the figure being good/bad.

Anthony in case you missed it that Samus has better waist movement, it's just hidden. You gotta pull her midsection up which is tricky but she gains much better splits and ab crunch when you do. Amazing figure and my foty.

Curious whether you swap the head with the unmasked Figma Metroid Other M Samus release from long time ago?
heh, you have the same tie for number one as I do. I'm going to call it 3 way cause really evil ryu and Ryu are the same. So a tie between Ryu, Fi long, and Chun Li. Neca did have some good ones. I think Alf was one of the best. But note I'm very very retro 80's.
I agree with all these figures being in here apart from Hush, I thought he was pretty dull. I’d have to put Balrog at number 1 and switch up a few things so that Metal Cooler, Turles and Banjo Kazooie could fit in 🙌 Nice list, have a good Christmas 🥳

I'd complain for the Samus Figma not being #1 (considering Nintendo kept the Figma people at gunpoint making sure they didn't screw up so I think it's a fluke for them), but a $25 fully articulate quality action figure, it's unheard off! And that shouldn't be the case, I have the Samus Figma because I am a big fan, but throwing 100s of dollars in plastic figures is ridiculous especially with this economy, but a company putting care and effort at a very affordable price point, I can concede on that for sure.
After a month or 2 with her Chun-Li is EXCELLENT! AND i dont need a stand to display her on my desk and if you have the Chun-li from Power Rangers you have extra effects for more potential poses.
Happy that Naruti and especially Cousin Frank is on The list for some reason these Naruty releases have been pretty solid, also wondering why metal Cooler and xenomorph freeza didn't make The list.

Def agree with jada and the figma samus, jada chun-li is borderline perfect
Jada toys really stole the show this year. And you should check out spero toys animal warriors of the kingdom. Another great line that stood out this year. Great top 15!!!
With those Street Fighter figures, Jada either got a CHEAP licensing deal or they are willing to accept a much smaller bottom line in order to absolutely blow up the industry. Either way... they blew up the industry. Making titans like Hasbro and Todd look like newbies. I love to see it.
Mafex Terminator 2 looks like a pretty damn good figure and I’m surprised he’s not on anyone’s top 10 list, including yours. Great likeness, good detail, good scale, and amazing set of accessories. For T2 figure to not even be on honorable mention is crazy. I don’t have it, because I already have the Mafex ‘80’s Terminator, but damn, I wish I had money to get Mafex T2 Arnie. Another one that should be on this list is Mafex Magneto. I mean, wtf? That figure is MILES better than Mafex AoA Mags, because the chest piece is a completely different sculpt, it’s bigger and more imposing. Looks exactly like Jim Lee’s Magneto. Way better than that new garbage Magneto that Marvel Legends just released.
I have Samus and all three Jadas right next to each other on my desk!
😤my fei long’s waist broke while trying to pose em doing the chicken wing. reeeeaaally tempted to repurchase
Don't always agree with your ratings--but I will agree that the JADA SF figures are great bang-for-your-buck figures! I NEVER bought SF figures before them and am tempted to get more (at least the SF 2 roster).
