10) Breaking Bad Jesse Pinkman in Blue Hazmat Suit Px Previews Exclusive
Mezco make some extremely well detailed figures in the Breaking Bad line. All of the Walter White figures, especially Heisenberg, were in high demand and the Jesse Pinkman figures will be no different. Fans have been crying out for these and finally Mezco have delivered. The blue hazmat figures will be the standard figures in this line with different variations coming in smaller waves to increase collectibility. We love these figures but there is only one drawback. No articulation. Now I realise that some figures can have too many points of articulation but these can be difficult to display out of the box without the aid of a stand. If you're happy to go down this route then these figures are a must have. If you're collecting for future investment then these figures can also be displayed boxed as Mezco supply them in blister packaging.
The blue hazmat figures are currently available to preorder on our ebay site or on our website. We will also be stocking the Orange Hazmat exclusive figure and this will also be available for preorder from next week.
9) Guardians of the Galaxy ARTFX+ PVC Statue 1/10 Rocket Raccoon 14 cm
If you haven't seen the movie or read the comics then you are missing out on something very special on both counts. Kotobukiya have provided the collectibles industry with some incredible figures over the years that just keep getting better. They have always started lines villain heavy, but have made an exception with Guardians of the Galaxy. Though I stated it above as a drawback, no articulation has never been a problem with Kotobukiya ArtFx figures as they always provide extra limbs, heads and accessories for multiple pose options. Both Rocket Raccoon and Groot are superbly detailed and can be displayed in their own right or as above with Rocket on Groots shoulder. Frankly, we can't say enough about how good these look and believe that with certain other companies falling short in the quality department its worth spending that bit extra on something extraordinary.
These are available to preorder now from our online store here
8) Sons of Anarchy Jax Teller and Clay Morrow 6-Inch Variant Action Figures
Fans of Sons of Anarchy have been waiting for these figures for some time now and its no surprise nor disappointment that Mezco are the ones making them. We have only one problem with these, and though it may seem picky, it was kind of a big downside....No Harleys with the figures! Other than that these are a must have and we are preselling the EE exclusive variants that are going to be rare down the line. Again, with these being mezco expect no points of Articulation, high detail and blister packaging.
7) DC Comics ARTFX+ PVC Statue 1/10 Green Arrow (The New 52) 20 cm
Coming in December this year is yet another of Kotobukiya's ArtFx figures and this one is stunning. With the success of the TV Series and the New 52 comics the Japanese company has yet again excelled themselves and this should sell very well. We know that most of us in the Highrise office will be parting with our hard earned to get our hands on this piece. We will be putting this up for preorder soon.
6) Star Wars Black Series Wave 5
With new and improved packaging (this is more aesthetic than anything) Hasbro's 5th wave of the 6 inch Black Series figures look set to be the most popular yet and we couldn't create a "must have" list and not have these figures on it. The success of the Black series figures has been huge and it looks like this is going to continue for some years to come. These figures have never suffered in quality with having articulation and display extremely well in and out of the window packaging. Well worth every penny!
5) Star Wars Black Series Deluxe Action Figures
These have been an instant hit and have already sold out at preorder from the majority of suppliers. If you can still get your hands on some then we recommend that you do. The speeder bike and scout is supplied with a stand for ease of display, however, if you want to keep them boxed then they will still look incredible.
4) Star Wars Black Series Limited Edition Shadow Squadron Deluxe Set
This is an incredible looking set. Not only do the figures look incredible but it would also be hard to take them out of the box considering the awesome backdrop on the packaging! In fact all of us at Highrise have agreed that we would keep them boxed!
Preorder this box set here
3) Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett in Prototype Armor
Well what can we say. Its Boba Fett. He looks cooler than ever and well...Its Boba fett. Nuff said

2) Walking Dead TV Series 6 Action Figures by Macfarlane Toys
The walking Dead figures have much improved since they first started life a few years ago. In fact, it would have been fair to say that there was little to no resemblance to the characters the figures were pertaining to be, yet it seems to have added to their charm and collectibility. Who would have thought?! This set of figures look very good and with some sought after characters in this set we reckon these will sell fast.
You can preorder these on our website now or if you prefer ebay then keep a look out for them in the next few weeks.
1) Walking Dead Rick Grimes 10" Deluxe Action Figure by Macfarlane Toys
Top of our wish list and we can guarantee we aren't the only ones. After the success of last years Daryl Dixon deluxe figure we were hoping for either a Michonne or a Rick grimes (we've heard unofficial rumblings that Michonne is next). If last years figure is anything to go by then the detail on this Rick grimes figure will be amazing and it will be great to see him on our shelf in his classic gun toting pose!
Preorder the Rick Grimes deluxe figure from our website now or from our ebay site in the coming weeks.
And thats our top ten. If there's anything you feel should be here then let us know!
