Mine are:

1) Purple Phantom & Captain Action / Dr Evil.....Cast A Way Toys
2) All the Monster figures.....EMCE
3) DC Retro Superheroes.....Mattel


Least favorite......Steve Austin.....head sculpt ruined it....

Seriously though, I've enjoyed the DST released / EMCE created monsters immensely, and the Creature chief among them. I liked the Mattel Batman in an odd way, but I didn't collect the line. I've got most of my Mego figures from childhood and would have bought a new Batgirl or a Hawkman, but alas, no. I did get the Cast-A-Way Phantom and I only regret not getting every version and the throne.

1) Castaway Phantom
2) EMCE Monsters
3) Zica Buck Rogers

[Remco Monster]

In no real particular order...

KISS, 12" Gene Simmons (Hotter Than Hell exclusive)
SMDM Bionic Bigfoot
Dark Shadows Barnabas Collins

Oh, I missed it was a top 3, so I edited it down.

[HumanWolfman]

The Universal Monsters-EMCE
Dark Shadows-SpectorToys
Phantom line,, Capt Action line, Jessie James-Castaway Toys(and a big shout out for CAWT monsters!)
Although there are other figures and lines that are very well done, Six Million Dollar Man, Twighlight Zone, BattleStar Gallactica, just to name a few,
I am trully a monster guy at heart, but all of these offerings were extremly well done and worth getting.

1. EMCE Creature From the Black Lagoon. (Monsters category)
2. EMCE Star Trek Romulan (Star Trek category)
3. Mattel DC Retro Action Heroes Flash. (DC superheroes)

Frankly, it's hard to just pick three. So I picked these by category. But these three were included in my top desires as a kid and now I have them all.

Now if I could just get a few more categories taken care of...

Star Wars- Darth Vader and Han Solo.
Marvel Superheroes- Dr. Doom and Black Panther

I have to agree

The Creature isn't my favorite character, but credit must go where it's due -- and The Creature is the ultimate BEST reMego ever made to date.

I really like Matell's 2 Face, they did a great job on him I think
Next in line would be Bionic BigFoot, just because of all the years I had to wait to get him.
