Dan, It's nearly November! We need Part 3, please! Love everything about these top 10 videos - the reasoning, the back and forth, the contemplation... Thanks for all the work you put into this.

[@ToyGalaxy]

We did part 3 as a Livestream on the main channel. I know it's a departure from the usual method but that's all the schedule allowed for this time. kzbin.info61WZJeW_iXo?si=R2c0hylTrb6G90Wf

[@WeeaboohJones]

I mean the fact that you haven’t picked up any Jada street fighter figures is just a crime.

[@ToyGalaxy]

They look amazing but I'm a Mortal Kombat guy.

[@trtledave3079]

@@ToyGalaxy but that's what's wrong with this world, either people are Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter fans, why can't we be both, why can't all video game characters be created and treated equally 😄

[@ToyGalaxy]

Maybe we can all come together for some Soul Calibur?

[@WeeaboohJones]

@@ToyGalaxy na, tekken.

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

​@@ToyGalaxy I loved Street Fighter then switched over to Mortal Kombat when it came out. But the Jada Toys Street Fighter line is killing it. I'm all in. I'm hoping eventually they get the Mortal Kombat license.

[@pmcpencil]

Love these lists! And if I had my own action figure, it would never leave the top spot.

[@miniplasticmultiverse]

Always enjoy these top 10s. Agree with you every time on vehicles. Great they exist, nice to have them, but they take up way too much shelf space! On the flip, I love toe articulation when it is done right. It gives way more options when posing and makes action poses look more authentic.

[@gokingsgoful]

I feel like Nemesis Immortal is gonna hit a lot of Dan's usual trigger points, since he's basically the midpoint between Joe and a Mystic Legions fig.

[@ToyGalaxy]

You are NOT WRONG. 😄

Dan, I am so glad you are still making these casting roundups vids! I have always loved these! Congratulations Bill

[@ToyGalaxy]

Thank you

[@JBLoveSav]

I think these are my favorite toy vids now. I really look forward to them. And I’m with you on the toe articulation. Waste of a joint and unnecessary break in the line imo.

[@ssykes32]

I was very impressed with how cool SG01 was once in hand. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next!

[@ToyGalaxy]

Thank you. That means a lot. I'm very proud of that figure and it's really cool that people seem to be connecting with it as well.

[@travishiltz4750]

Really enjoy these videos. So many amazing, tempting figures. and then I hear how much a figure goes for and I'm reminded why I stick with comic books.

[@slipshodaverage844]

I'm somehow always looking forward to these, and always missing that we've changed quarters, so the Top 10 videos are always a pleasant surprise. Finally, pulled the trigger on SG-01 while watching.

[@ToyGalaxy]

Thank you very much

[@slipshodaverage844]

@@ToyGalaxy before I found your channels, I was on the verge of starting an animation cel collection of all the obscure cartoons that came and went in my childhood, from the 80s and 90s. Now, I can just point people to you, to prove those things weren't just the fever dreams of a child. You've saved me a lot of money, and wall space.

[@SpoofyJ]

Can't wait for my Beach head figure to come in.

[@TrueAmericanReject]

Another fun thought process video, another figure or two I passed up previously- oh in Dan’s hand on a white background, suddenly want it.

[@wheeljoker]

Just picked up the Yolopark Megatron and Prime. I like them both but i do prefer Megatron. Prime definitely feels more fiddly to me too. Im probably in for Soundwave and Starscream

[@mccallosone4903]

good video thanks

[@ToyGalaxy]

You're welcome

[@jeremysmith4620]

I haven't bought a toy in a couple years, had to stop collecting for a while, but the Bastet and Anubis might be my 1st purchases in a long while. Those look fantastic and I'm a sucker for ancient Egyptian gods. I've always wanted figures of both and never thought they'd exist. Thanks for bringing them to my attention.

[@sgtdh6892]

I know I am late asking but what happened to “Toy Galaxy”? I subscribed to this channel and Secret Galaxy but I never get notifications even though I have them on. I have to search for the videos!!!

[@MaximumWarp2099]

Props for keeping Captain Carrot in the top ten. I’ve been meaning to pick him up myself. The second comic I ever bought was an issue of CC and the Zoo Crew.

[@ToyGalaxy]

I'm Marge Simpson looking at him and thinking "I just think he's neat."

[@super_robot_punch]

Firefly is my on my top ten for this year too

[@Z-ManAtTheParty]

I don't own any JoyToy anything but your video inspired me to order that army builder bounty hunter. Love giving indie companies a chance. Like having a little bit of everything in my collection.

[@Shay_What]

No need to apologize Dan, we get it! I'd be just as stoked if I was in your position!

[@ashnodmtg]

My ten so far is 1 Warduke 2 Party Wallop 3 Ghost Starscream 4 Reactivate Starscream 5 SG01 6 Target Optimus Prime 7 Crystar 8 Origin Wheeljack 9 Reactivate Bumblebee 10 Waspinator I'm really impressed with SG01, and I'm not saying that for your benefit. It has stayed on my desk and has been a go to fiddle bot.

[@Nebula427]

I haven't even seen those Reactivate bots on any shelf, physical or digital. Starscream looks rad.

[@ToyGalaxy]

Number 5! I'll take it! Thank you!

[@gokingsgoful]

Dan, are you going in on those Hiya classic-scale Joes? I only grabbed a few to replace 25th / POC figs that we never got definitive versions of (Bludd, Baronness, Lady Jaye, Flint), but it's interesting to see the Classified designs in classic scale. If they ever even ship, that is.

[@ToyGalaxy]

They look really great but I think I'm good with Classified. Not that I have anything against 1/18. I have lots of Joy Toy, Boss Fight etc. I just don't need another Joe line.

[@gokingsgoful]

@@ToyGalaxy Yeah, can't see myself being any sort of completionist on it... really the big gap filler for me is FINALLY getting a good 4" Baroness, who Hasbro swung and missed on about ten times.

[@AllistairMcCray]

Jada Toys Street Fighter figures blows all these figures out of the competition in every aspect of design and articulation. These “Top Ten” videos always reminds me of those arguments saying a certain place has the best hot wings without trying other locations. I don’t care if you’re a Mortal Kombat guy but Jada’s street fighter figures is the best company of 2024.

[@AllistairMcCray]

Mafex Knightfall Batman is also easily in top 3

[@kryoboy3.0]

Hoping jada does MK And killer instinct🤞 P.s.Fei long is an outstanding figure👍

[@ToyGalaxy]

I almost got that figure but decided the Mcfarlane with a custom cape was enough for my shelf.

[@Rocket1377]

Agreed. Even if you are not a fan of the SF games you should still consider getting the figures. The character designs alone are awesome.

[@tupalev]

These are always so fun - that's a solid group! I'm cheering for that Snout Spout to sneak its way back by the end of the year :)

[@dariusq8894]

Not a lot of changes right now, but looking at the annoucements for Q3-4 I'm expecting some monumental shifts. FYI, I've got Transformers Legacy United Magmatron confortably in the lead for my own list. 😜

[@martincraddy2400]

Four horsemen have nailed it this year Anubis and Bastet are figures of the year. Pilot is in there too.

[@ToyGalaxy]

If Necromominus hits when it's supposed to it'll blow up my whole list.

[@WraithMace]

One day we will see WH40k Joytoy figures in here !

[@NickDoobs]

I'm just impressed you got the Savage Crucible figures to stand

[@ToyGalaxy]

They would be so solid without toe articulation. Like, the most solidly standing action figures on the shelf with those big, big feet.

[@mamunestor]

@@NickDoobs they are suppose to be sending out new ankles, but many have glued the toes. The toe articulation is an mis step (😂) most of the time.

[@mamunestor]

@@ToyGalaxy the tails help them stand. 😂

[@NickDoobs]

@mamunestor I've seen someone else say that in comments. That's great news! Rob seems like a perfectionist and not the type of person to let this issue go unfixed. Have they said if they will be the same just with tighter joints or are they sending out new feet without toe articulation? I still love these figures. Just hate having to find stands for them.

[@ultramagneticlion2147]

Always dig these videos!!! But this is the first time ever that I would've made absolutely the same elims! Do feel you should try some of the Turtles of Grayskull deluxe figures and Jada's Street Fighter, Megaman or Cereal characters.

[@ToyGalaxy]

Since I'm not really a TMNT fan that line is an easy pass for me. Not that they aren't cool, I'm just looking for ANY reason to not start a line or pickup a figure because I already collect SO MUCH. Same thing goes for the Jada lines. They are amazing. I have all the Universal Monsters they released so I know they are quality figures. It's also the kind of thing where the decision has kind of been made for me. With Street Fighter I basically said "I'm not going to preorder them, but if I see them in store I'll probably grab them." And then I never saw them in store because my stores just don't get new stuff like that. I saw Ken ONCE. But someone had taken all the accessories out.

[@slackerhacker]

Your figures look great. Hope to pick them up one day. Do you take them to conventions with you?

[@ToyGalaxy]

They're so new and they've sold out so quickly that I can't really say that I have a policy yet. If I have them in stock I plan on taking them.

[@Robin0928]

I really should do something similar with my collection, it's so hard for me to actually narrow down my favorite figures of the year and end up running in circles just saying "yeah, theyre all the best of the year". Making those hard choices would force me to stop being so indecisive

Not a big Joe collector, but I'm looking forward to the upcoming Iron Grenadier. I'm most excited for some of the Monster Force stuff that is just months away now. The second half of this year is going to be awesome for figgies.

[@ShaunOnuma]

I would recommend looking at Gi Joe Classified Quick Kick, Torpedo and Transformers Shard.

[@ToyGalaxy]

Quick Kick is great. But he was eliminated in my earlier video back in March. Torpedo I had in hand last year so he was a 2023 pickup for me. Shard looks great, but I'm on a bit of a TF break right now.

Honored. Thank you.

[@ToyGalaxy]

Thank you

[@SlytherinReviews]

I love Bast and Anubis, also, the whole point of a Top 10 is to NOT play favorites with your own toys

[@ToyGalaxy]

Sure but it's impossible not to like my own toys the most. I would get rid of everything in this video if that was the only way I could keep the two I made... doesn't that make them the best (for me)?

Maybe if you had a wishlist for toys that were on the line for you, that only patrons/members could access, that could get on the list. I have no attachment to the ship or that version of the character. But I think it's a cool robot for something that transforms, and in that was also kind of up your alley.
