Greatest Queen Songs

 Greatest Queen Songs (August 2017)

It goes without saying that Queen was one of the greatest bands of all time. Their songs and albums are incredibly diverse. I think only Bowie and the Beatles could possibly match the level of diversity in their music. Freddie Mercury is obviously one of the greatest singer, front men and stars ever. The other members of the group were all also extremely talented. If anything, they were underrated in their time. I will say as well, this is definitely a list that I would rearrange if I had the chance.

Greatest Star Wars Power of the Force 2 Figures

Greatest Star Wars Power of the Force 2 Figures (July 2017)

This is series of action figures that came out in the late 90's to coincide with the release of the special edition of the Star Wars trilogy. This line was a mixed bag. Some of the earlier figures are noted for their unrealistic, wrestler like physiques. Overall, I think that the line was great. They made figures that we had not seen previously. They did miss some, but most of those came out later in lines such as the Power of the Jedi.

Greatest Kenner Star Wars Figures

Greatest Kenner Star Wars Figures (July 2017)

This is a list of the greatest Star Wars figures from the original series that ran from about 1978 through 1985. They are listed in terms my favorite figures rather than the best or the most popular. Although these figures look simple and some don't really look like the characters that they are supposed to represent, this was still one of the greatest lines of action figures of all time. This line also changed movies and toys forever. They did make some odd choices of what characters to include and which not to though. I owned pretty much all of these as a kid other than the final series in 1985.
