    what's the weirdest accessory for an action figure?

    My vote would be the mutant cat in a cage for Feyd in the Dune series by LJN.

    I mean, the whole Dune set was a little odd, and having Stings pompous persona immortalized in plastic is weird enough, but.....

    In general, I would say the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle line had some of the weirdest accessories. But, that was probably what they were going for...

      The ability to buy accessory arms and legs for Steve Austin. And the roll-up rubber skin on his arm.

        I gotta agree with you. I love the Dune LJN line but Feyds cat in a cage was weird? but it was 1984 things were different and David Lynchs Film was also offbeat to begin with

          Gotta agree here! Who else had a drivable toilet seat called the "Toilet Taxi"??

            How about a JC Penney tape recorder?

              Any random rainbow-colored Batman figure. There's a reason they ripped them on The Brave and The Bold series finale.

              Those Toy Biz X-Men figures that came with the monster parts were really, really odd too.

                As far as accessories that are weird for the character they came with, I always thought it odd that the Takara diecast 8" Darth Vader came with a crossbow (that actually works!). It's like they got mixed up with Chewie or something. Still, it doesn't stop me from really wanting that toy. The bootleg "Heroes Accessories" 12" Supes, Spidey and Batman coming with handguns is odd too, but what do you expect, they are bootlegs.

                  IS that Mr. Bigglesworth?

                    There will be a fez for the upcoming 1:6 Matt Smith Doctor Who figure.

                    But hey, fezzes are cool.

                    Stick it on a 1:6 Frankenstein and you've bashed yourself a pretty good Tommy Cooper.

                      I'd say the prosthetic arms for JJ Armes. Kinda creepy since it's based on real life.
                      I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                      If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                        Just bought a jack the ripper figure that came with a severed kidney. Come to think of it, I have a lot of figures that came with severed heads. I have a Dracula that came with a bag of dirt.
