>Toy of the year
It's weird because there was a ton of good stuff this year and I was just about done with transformers, but I'd go with Legends Shockwave. This guy came out of nowhere, and he's just so much better than he has any right to be. The articulation is fairly amazing for his size and price; dude even has figuarts-stype pulldown hips. The gun mode is a little abstract so I understand it's a take it or leave it type thing, but I love it too. Equal amounts of pew pew and swoosh.
>Disappointment of the year
This is another strange choice because I actually really like him, but SHF Captain America. He's just so close to being great, but there's something halfassed or wrong at pretty much every turn. I got a ton of paint errors on mine, the colors are way too desaturated in general, I went through two sets of factory replacement shield-holding hands that had crooked pegs... I'm almost thinking about getting the inevitable civil war repaint if it fixes the QC shit that's wrong because he really is a good figure. Just frustratingly flawed.
>Most hype toy for 2016
As uneven quality wise as the line is, Marvel Legends put out a shitload of really fun stuff in 2015 and I'm looking forward to what they put out next year. Rogue in particular, but moreso if that means we finally start getting x-men stuff again.
