The Top Ten Most Needless Action Figure Additions

[toys2cool]

Good stuff bro,I agree with the Jimmy Squeaks and Wheels Willie thing

[Brue]

Ahhh..

I thought this thread was going to be about all the junk and action features and packaging gizmos that come with action figures. -Batman Animated series and final few waves of X-men in the 90s come to mind as the worst offenders of stupid accessories.

The figures you listed are great. Pointless and great. Some like Chopper, Wheels.. serve a generic catch all purpose. Astronaut replaces a need for a license. Other like the super powers made up guys????? Or made up aliens when there were many characters to choose from in ST? Nothing like recycled parts.

Krome Dome looks like he was put together by drag queens who were trying to create the world’s first Cyborg Pimp

man, there are no better words in the english vocabulary to describe kromedome!! great article!

That's some good stuff there B, and I concur with all of them. Esp. those craptastic SP figures. I wanted a Nightwing and a Riddler!!!

Nice article! Not being overly familiar with Space 1999, I always assumed that Zython was from the show. But despite my new knowledge, and your less than glowing review, I still wish I could find one.

Heh, I'd buy a Zython in a heartbeat, I'm a complete sham.

Sigh yes more needless Neptunian bashing. THEE Coolest spacy monster looking figure of the whole line and he gets NO respect. Sure he wasnt in an episode of Star Trek but he could have been.

Equally well he could have come to Earth to take on Super Man and his pals as an evil alien over lord.

He could have been a futuristic nuclear bred mutant from the Planet of the apes.

He could have done song and dance numbers on the Sony and Cher show.

He could have abducted Johnboy and ate Sue Ellens Brains.

The Possibility were endless.... Yet all any body does is bash him.

Great article. I never knew those guys were called Godzill'a Gang. I have all of them except Godzilla. They're my favorite toys next to my Megos and my Star Wars figures.

[sauce]

as usual, brian, you are hilarious and encyclopedic! diggin' it, man!

[Godzilla]

Great article Brian and I'm astounded that I have never heard of the Godzilla Gang.

TOTALLY AGREE on the Neptunian ~ Besides the Andorian, he's probably the coolest looking alien in the Trek line. Can't wait to get one of those repos..

Useless..? How about the Ilia Trek figures.., both 3 and 12". What would you be able to do with her..? Except to help regulate Kirk's libido, practically nil.

Congress should approve of a nationally-funded landfill site, just for her.

Thanks guys, for the record, most of those figures on that list are from my own collection so it's not like I'm truly "bashing" anything, more poking fun of.

I bought a loose Neppy this past winter because I missed having one I could play with.

[Evel KMego]

Fun stuff as always Brian! Why can't I get a side job like that? All I ever get is lawn mowing jobs
