Marvel Legends What If....? and Watcher Build a Figure (BAF)
For the most part, I enjoyed the What If series on DisneyPlus, especially as an animated show. In this series, Captain Carter and Heist Nebula are my favorites with Zombie Captain America coming in third. We need more zombies. I can see Hasbro doing another series of these - need a Black Widow. Sylvie is also awesome.

King and Country - Oskar Schindler and Itzhak Stern
I remember the first time I watched Schindler's List. It was like getting kicked in the gut for four straight hours. Obviously not typically associated with collector's items, I'm really glad King and Country honored these great men in metal form.

GI Joe - Medal of Honor Series - Audie Murphy
On this day in history (26 January 1945) , Audie Murphy's actions in combat earned him the Medal of Honor. Hasbro produced several Medal of Honor figures in the lates 90s/early 2000s. At the time, the figures also came in these awesome 5 panel boxes that showed off the brilliant artwork in all its glory.

Star Wars Black Series Rogue One Bodhi Rook - Finally!
