#10 Jawa (Star Wars POTF2)
Era:1990's
Where it came from? Gifts/online etc..
Why is it awesome? I got my first POTF2 Jawa back in the 90's. It is the smaller of the two that came in a pack. He is awesome because he is simple yet all you need for a Jawa figure. He comes with his little blaster and his eyes glow when you put him under the light. My siblings and I grew up watching an old VHS of A New Hope, and since then I have always loved Jawas.

Above is two larger Jawas with three of the smaller ones. I didn't get one of those until a few years ago. The larger Jawa comes with a blaster pistol.

Did you know? That MOC PoTF2 figures are still quite abundant and that you can get them second hand for cheap prices.

#11 Terminator 2 T800 Action Masters Die Cast (Kenner)

Terminator 2 is one of my all time favorite movies. One of the most iconic scenes in that movie is when the T-800 uses the minigun at the Cyberdyne building against the cops (and injures none)
this is a fun replica of that scene. I had one as a kid but it was stolen. Got this one from a collectible show a few years ago

Fun Fact: mini gun's Rate of Fire: Varies from 4,000-6,000 rounds/min. (appx. 67-100 rounds/sec.)

Edit: Did you know? Kenner also made Star wars, Predator and Batman Action Master die cast figures around the same time.

I use to have one of these. Loved the quality. I also had a die cast Predator. Though I remember the Predator's head and weapon that could be removed for some reason. 

 

I might have to replace my T-800 someday.

I forgot about the Predators and yes they are great quality. You should replace the T-800! They made the exploded T-1000 too. I still need to get that

#12 Darth Vader PVC pencil topper
Year: 2002
Where did it come from? General Mills Cereal, Philippines

Why is it awesome? I served as a missionary in the Philippines 15 years ago when Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones came out in theaters. When I was there the nice grocery stores sold General mills cereals imported from Indonesia. When the movie came out several cereals such as Trix had these awesome Star Wars PVC pencil toppers as promos in the box. There were like 6-7 figures total. I bought cereal often to try and get them all. Luckly I didnt get any doubles. Darth Vadar is the best out of all the figures. He was the "secret" figure not featured on the cereal box.

Fun Fact#1 As far as I know these were only released in southeast Asia.

Fun Fact#2 The other figures were Anakin, C3PO, R2D2, Clone Trooper, Jango Fett and Yoda.

Edit: Found a photo of the rest.

#13 Battle Beasts King Cobra
Era: 1980s
Where did it come from? Buddy down the street early 90s

Why is it awesome? A buddy who lived up the street from me growing up had a whole bunch of Battle Beasts. I remember him showing me handfuls of them. Somehow I traded him something for King Cobra. How cool is an Cobra snake action figure. He caught my eye 20+years ago and still catches my eye today. Someday I will get around to getting his weapon.

#14 MIMP Great Beast (Purple)
Era: late 80s early 90s

Why is he awesome? Hes got seven heads, whats more awesome than that?!. I got my Great Beast in the early 90's in a "great beast set" with a bunch of other neon MIMP.(most I still have). I remember my late Grandma getting me the set along with bag of DFC recast figures one Christmas. As with much of my treasured figures, I've have had him for over 20 years.

Multiple heads, wings, and a fierce demeanor make the Great Beast my favorite MIMP.

Yeah, I can think of only like two toy versions of the Antichrist.  It's pretty special.

Oh geez! Youre right! I didn't even realize the connection!!! I should've known better. The seven heads makes so much more sense now

[Ridureyu]

Also the name, "The Great Beast," since "The Beast" was taken.

 

But yeah, it's this guy, and the Shin Megami Tensei version.
