So time to see how I did on my 2011 wants (this is cheating slightly since we've already had Toy Fair, but since there were next to no reveals I'll let it go). I also specified sizes with some of them but I'll ignore that (mostly). Green for yay!

I count that as 14, I did quite well on X-men, shockingly badly on everything else! Marvel Universe is brilliant and they continue to announce great figures, but with the 90's (cartoon) X-men finally being completed, I'm at the point I will have every thing I really want. That's not to say there's not another 20 or so figures I'd love to see.
Transformers Generations rolls on, I guess because last year was a movie year not much was doing Classics wise, so that looks set to be rectified with the 40 or so figures we're supposed to be seeing. Could be a great Botcon!
Bandai just don't seem to have a clue with Classics Thundercats, they started out with 8" which I wasn't impressed with, but once I finally got my hands on them I was perfectly happy. They then announce 6" figures which I've yet to see, but 2 figures in each scale is frankly shit. There was no indication of anything better to come at Toy Fair, so who knows what they're doing. I'd love to see all the figures I listed, but really I'd be happy with the core Thundercats and Mumm-Ra. SDCC, maybe? Otherwise hopefully Warner Bros will give the license to someone who actually cares.
My hopes for the next year:
01.Sandman
02.Elektra
03.Kingpin
04.Vulture
05.Abomination
06.Leader

19.Lady Deathstrike
20.Skids
21.Gears
22.Trailbreaker
23.Hoist
24.Blitzwing
25.Motormaster
26.Hot Spot
27.Topspin (something from PerfectEffect would be sweet)
