Top 50 1:10 items I'd like to have: FINAL COUNTDOWN

 No I'm not going to Doo dodo doo! Dododo doo dooo! But let's get it on!

25: wall of monitors and villainous control panels: 
Villains usually have big ass monitors, but personally I want Bison's with his weird platform... yes, I watched Street Fighter recently and I'm having some Raúl Juliá inspired ideas.

24: Generic Van:
Think Free Candy Van. Yes, it would be to use with criminals or paint it black to make a battle Van for Mr. Castle.

23: Rooftop props:
Since the Playmates "pseudo Origins styled line" added the rooftop diorama pieces, it made me realize that we NEED stuff to make a decent rooftop display. I'm thinking chimneys, vents, air conditioning units. Hell, even a rooftop access door would be nice.  
No! I totally wasn't planning to do that I did not hit her, it's not true it's bullshit! I did not hit her! I did not! Ohai Mark! Reference, but it has a rooftop access door.

22: Playground props:
Mainly slides, swing sets, see saws...

No reason whatsoever. 

21: Breakable Generators: 
This one is more for Marvel displays, Specifically for Spider-Man. Like being able to display Electro absorbing the power from the generator Or Rhino impaling his horn on one. Sure. It can work in other Toy lines, but for this case my inspiration was Marvel.

20: subway cars: (display piece, not a toy)
The 2k3 TMNT sewet Playset had a broken off piece of a not to scale car. Like I mentioned in my previous wants rant with the cargo containers. If done properly, the carts could double as a playset. 
I know there was a namby pamby cardboard display but it looks like cardboard. Then there's this 1:12 cool display, but it's not big or modular enough. What I'm describing is something that looks like a Full car when closed, but you can open it and male.it look like 2 cars. It makes a long backdrops when displayed from the outside and from the inside it makes a decent diorama for brawling displays;

(Of course, it would require additional supports for inside the car displays and extra floor pieces to properly Extended the space.

19: Explosives and Explosions:
Every now and then Todd McFarlane gives us Pew! Pews! But we need Boom! Booms! I know Bandai made some but they only work from the front.

18: gas pumps cash registers and other gas station/convenience store props:
We already have things like mini brands doing candies and other food items that can be used in a convenience store/ gas station. But we need the parts that fully make it a shop (ie cash registers) That way we can set up robbery display being stopped by the heroes.

17: Ice Cream Truck: 
No, it's not a Twisted Metal reference. It's more of a: "And now Spawn so turn off your lights." Reference. 

16: Phones: 
Not just smartphones, but flip phones, office phones, payphones, phonebooths (both Murican and Bri'ish), home phones, etc. They need to be able to unhook so I can have characters using phones. Bonus points if we can get the 80s clearphone, Garfield Phone, Pizza Phone, and Zack Morris Cellphone.

15: Gates, turnstiles, and checkpoint props:
These help certain dioramas (subways, parking lots, office buildings, theme parks, even TSA Checkpoints) to be made. 

14: walls with collapsible signs:
While this is mainly a reference to the Ninja Turtles games. It's a cool place/diorama Idea. Picture, say Spider-Man holding one of these signs as he tries to protect Civilians that would've been trapped under or dead, if Spidey hadn't swung into action.

13: Toyota Celsior
There's no need for any other explanation. 

12: Generic bodies with Moderate articulation: 
While Third party companies like Figure Toys Company kinda already do this, their Quality is a mixed bag. Not to mention the heads kinda don't match the bodies. (Heads look Mego sized for Jakks bodies) I'm thinking MotU Origins articulation with bodies that match the 2017 Mattel Diva Superstars slightly cartoony style.

For the men, 3 body types:
-Athletic (slim, think s7 Shredder/Casey Jones bodies)
-Muscular (think MOTUC He-Man)
-Fat (Think s7 Biggie Smalls)

For the women 3 Body types as well, but they get new names and an additional Torso:
(Options being petite and voluptuous)
-Athletic body gets A and C Cups for petite and Voluptuous.
-bombshell gets C cup for petite and DDs for Voluptuous 
-Curvy gets B cup for petite and F cups for Voluptuous.  

These should be on "Barbie-esque" bodies with soft goods clothes or pre sculpted accessory packs sold separately. (ie soft goods or presculpted wedding dress with soft goods being better for posing while presculpted is almost a statue. The idea is to get these in the low 20s range in order to allow for fodder purchases.

11: pick up truck: 
This seems like a random option, but Terminator 2 pushed my hand. But it has other uses.

10: gravestones and Cemetery accessories:
I know that between old capsule toys, baking, and Wrestling accessories one can Kinda make a cemetery, but we need more. Yes, you know where I'm going with this. Thomas and Martha Wayne, Ben Parker... you get the idea. 

9:Hearse:
Mattel, this one's on you... Wrekkin Undertaker or Kane Hearse. Nuff said!

8: Garbage Truck:
This is mainly for the NECA TMNT, but it's useful for both 1:12 and 1:10 figures.

7: Jeep:
This one is rather obvious. A 70s-80s Jeep model for beachcombing or driving down the jungle.soft goods removable canopy.

6: 3D Natural backdrops:
The Tim Mee Battle Mountain, while not for this scale, it creates a decent backdrop. Problem is that there is only one shape and you can't  use two without it looking weird. Generic cliffsides work for so many lines Power Rangers, GI Joe, Batman, X-Men, Thundercats, He-Man, etc. Make it like the NECA alley diorama. Add some modular elements that can somewhat disguise two backdrops being used without making it obvious and we may have a winner.

5: barrels, chests, urns, and other fantasy styled containers:
Self explanatory when we have various fantasy themed lines like MOTU, Conan, Thundercats, Dungeons and Dragons, etc.

4: Surveillance Cameras:
They should be small enough that they can be placed with some blutac on flat surfaces. Or craft store magnets. It's a small detail but we could have various types:
Normal Surveillance Cameras (traditional boxy design or more modern flatter design)
Turret Cameras with guns or lasers. 

3: Torture Devices: 
I reviewed one of these a while back. But I'm thinking Iron Maiden, racks, and more modern looking versions of them.
It's not that I'm playing the MGS Master collection, but I've referenced way too much MGS here.


2: computers, tablets, and other devices:
Yeah, I'm talking old desktop computers like the JP PC from Samuel L Jackson that I've used a few times. Also, some old iMacs and even older Macintosh computers would be nice. Laptops, tablets, stuff that could pad up offices,Donatello's lab, etc.

1: 1980s black Trans Am with red sweep lights in the front:
Yes, I'm referring to the Feeny car. The Knight Industries Two Thousand. I told you that this was going to be the number 1 item.
