I haven’t settled on a ranking yet, but I can contribute my overall Top 10 for the year:
G.I. Joe Classified: Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Baroness, Cobra Trooper Figuarts Star Wars: Han Solo (TFA)*, Baby Yoda, IG-11 Black Series SW: Beskar armor Mandalorian, Ahsoka from s7 of TCW Super7: Raph (TMNT) Honorable mentions: anything by Neca, Beach Head, Destro, Roadblock v2. Loved the Retro Hiss and AWE Striker, and ended up with awesome customs of Luke Skywalker and 1991 Snake Eyes, aka v4, to go with Storm Shadow. Also want to shout out Transformers, Ghostbusters, and the Power Rangers Pumpkin Rapper as great parts of 2020 for others I know. |

Hasbro ruled for me and all of their lines had really great product. I dabble in MAFEX, Mezco, etc but Hasbro still wins because of the price point and durability. So here is my admittedly Hasbro centric list:
1. Star Wars Black Series Hoth Rebel Trooper (what more can be said about this figure? Probably one of the greatest action figures of all time.) 2. Classified Snake Eyes Pulse Exclusive 3. Classified Cobra Trooper 3. Marvel Legends Movie Deadpool (from the two pack 4. Star Wars Black Series Mandalorian Stormtrooper 5. Classified Destro 6. Marvel Legends Movie Wolverine (Tank Top version) 7. Marvel Legends War Machine Deluxe Version 8. Star Wars Black Series Teebo 9. Classified Duke 10. Marvel Legends Doctor Doom I’m not a Marvel Legends collector and don’t know as much about them, but I want a set of Jim Lee X-men someday, and it seems like a really great line across the board. It seems like they have done a bunch of Dr Dooms and each one always looks to me like a home run. IDK if the hardcore ML fans agree, but I’ve always been really impressed. |

I'll only include figures that I own and my list is for Classified figures
1) Pulse Exclusive SE: The initial pics, the packaging, the figure itself. Didn't have a more satisfying action figure purchase in 2020 than this one. Not even close. The fact that it is my favorite Joe character made it even more special 2) Baroness: Figure is everything I hoped it would be. Didn't enjoy the hunt to get her, but happy to have her in my collection. I'll wait and see what other versions of her Hasbro decides to produce, but this one is so good, I'm not sure I'll need another one 3) Destro: Not one of my favorite characters in the Joe universe, but an exceptional figure I imagine that I would have included Cobra Trooper in this list, but I don't own one. |

I agree with Marksman77 - I am not sure I can recall being more satisfied ever with a figure than when opening the deluxe Snake Eyes; that box. I felt like a kid that got the best Christmas present ever (and I thank my wife for paying whatever she paid on EBay in the UK). After that, the trooper is so so good. Great colour and he feels like more than just cannon fodder. Then Beach. Love him. I haven't been able to get a Baroness yet though!
I love retro Scarlet too, and Retro Roadblock has a great head. Then we have an awesome ML Deadpool and epic ML Cable fits right in with the Joes. I also got ML Ronin who is a great figure with my new classifieds too. It was a good year indeed - once I could actually get some of them. |

Does it make me a bad person if I say that this thread makes me miss the GIJCC?

marksman77, Stormben, I agree completely. Opening exclusive Snake Eyes last...March, was it?...was amazing, and one of the best parts of a very bad year. The Toyfair announcement was a great valentine for the community last year, and here’s hoping we all get another this year too. And I hope you both find the figures you are looking for, at reasonable cost or near enough.
Turtlemaster, I would say no, not at all. I never got into the 4” much, but it’s clear it made a lot of people really happy, which is great. |

No. For the 4" line, at least the club could kitbash these FrankenJoes together a lot better than the Mustache.
