    15 figures no one asked for - Mego and Remco made the list!

    Interesting article. Surprisingly Mego actually made it TWICE. But in doing so, I came across one figure line I never knew they did - Lethal Weapon? Interesting. But of course like all "lists", it's probbaly just a writer's personal opinion and doesn't count for much. But I found this link in of all places a news site! So I thought I would share.

    Lethal Weapon came out in 1987 (5 years after Mego took a dirt nap). I think there are some customs on that list.
    Fresh, not from concentrate.

      A couple of those are customs.
      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

            Surprised that the Donny & Marie dolls weren't on the list.

              Keep in mind what BuzzFeed does, all it does it try to generate viral material, it's not a real news source. A freelance writer throws these together to try and make quick cash. Editors accept these articles pretty much solely based on if they think the article's title will generate click-throughs. With a subject like this, there's probably zero fact checking, and I can almost guarantee the writer was fairly lazy - if you Google image the term "worst action figure" ( or something similar) you'll probably find most of these.

                Having said that, some of these customs are pretty amusing. And I wish I had Lethal Weapon action figures!

                  The guy that sells those customs has a shop on ebay: Old Colony Hobbies

                  Looks like he either sold a lot or ebay might have had him remove those pieces. He has A LOT so if you don't see them, contact him. I like his Road Warrior figures and Alien. Very Mego and Kenner.

                    I still own the Joey Fatone doll. I bought him and the rest of the Nsync dolls because they were the perfect size to be teenagers in my 12" GI Joe adventures. The rest of them were jerks, but Joey was a pretty decent kid in my Joeverse. He just kept bad company.
