2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

 #2 It's no mystery that Legends has been killing it with their super popular line of 6 inch Marvel action figures. I've been able to resist the urge, opting to cherry pick figures and sets here and there.  Fave Factor: Marvel Legends Gamerverse Punisher/Nick Fury embodies everything I love about the characters and the 16 bit Sega Genesis video game. Besides two really great action figures you're getting a crap-load of weapons an explosion effect, alternate hands, cash filled suitcase plus a cool 16 bit backdrop. These are also my favorite Punisher head sculpts to date.

#3 Coming in at number 3 we have two 2025 pick ups that literally brightened things up here on 2 Minute Toy Break. I had been in a bit of a toy funk when these guys showed up in my eBay MOTU Origins search at a very good price for the pair. I snagged them up, they arrived and greatness ensued! Fave Factor: For me it's mostly about the colors with these guys. The colorful combinations of greens, yellows, reds, pinks and smokey blues give Sun-Man and Pig-Head an aesthetic edge over the competition. They don't just pop on display, they shine brilliantly!

  #4 MOTU Origins just hits different. The combination of character variety, figure accessories, customizability, different property tie-ins and price point makes the line pretty tough to compete with. Hasbro may still have the upper hand numbers wise but I've been having more fun with Mattel's seemingly infinite universe of MOTU action figures. Fave Factor: The pics say it all. Just look at this guy! Vypor is the man! Snake-Man, that is. One of my favorite things about this figure is the neck and head sculpt. You can get them into some really cool poses if you manipulate them the right way. The chain draping over the armor looks great and can be removed and used as a weapon which is good seeing as how he only came with one bone-staff accessory.  Vypor is overall a great action figure and an easy choice for #4 on my top 10 of 2025 list.

 #5 As much as I liked my CT Toys Wolverine figure, CT Toys Spidey edged him out for the number 5 spot. It's nice to have a Spider-Man figure that you can actually put into Spider-Man poses.  Fave Factor: Remember, what I consider to be a top 10 figure goes beyond aesthetics. It has to be a fun figure, overall. Fun to pose, fun to photograph and of course fun to look at. This CT Toys Spider-Man figure checks all the boxes. 

#6 With the gradual phasing out of highly articulated 3.75 Marvel Universe and GI Joe figures came the 6 inch scale takeover. While other companies have tried to reinvigorate smaller scaled action figures, none have done it, IMO, like Jakks Pacific < < Jazwares honorable mention>> . As far as aesthetics combined with articulation I feel like they currently have the most to offer at the 3.75 to 5 inch scale.  Fave Factor: This was a tough one because all of these Sega Genesis themed action figures by Jakks Pacific are pretty epic. This could have easily gone to Weredragon, Gilius, or Roo but Musashi gets the nod here. I've had a ton of ninja themed action figures through the years but this one's different. Joe Musashi doesn't even come with alot of accessories and is pretty basic but he's got good energy. Yep! Your ears don't deceive you, I said energy. Certain figures have a certain energy about them and for me Joe Mus...

Before I go into #7 on my top 10 of 2025 list, I want to clarify that these aren't figures that necessarily released in 2025. These are figures that I picked up in 2025 . So, there's that.  #7 This set means a lot to me. A few years back, probably around the time Covid was wreaking havoc worldwide, I fell on some hard times. I sold off a lot of my figures  including my set of Playmates TMNT Eastman Laird comic book  figures. It was one of those sellers remorse situations and I always said that i'd reclaim a set when the time was right. Well, a few months back I found this boxed set including all 4 turtles plus alternate versions of classic Splinter and Shredder for about $25.  Fave Factor: This set is more of a sentimental favorite than anything else. The figures themselves are pretty great but what they represent is much greater. The only reason I was able to recollect all of these items that I had sold off was by pulling myself up by the boot straps, getting back o...
