The 36 Worst Action Figures From Iconic Toy Lines

[RickD]

Whoever wrote that article is an idiot! Indiana Jones and Star Wars line was awesome including all the figures! I can think of a lot of other garbage toys that were made!

[Bruce Banner]

That article was a little harsh on the Raiders figures!

Stinkor's smell was from mixing patchouli oil into the plastic.

Awesome! Now I can make my own stinky character!

(although I actually like the smell of patchouli oil)

This was funny with some truth. But yes, Moss Man, Grizzlor and Stinkor were boss!!!

can we say "Spoiler Alert"? I never wanted to know that. I assumed it was all real and genuine.

hehe

umm......it was already revealed in the link with the list.

OK- Spoiler alert- it was patoulie oil but the real genuine part was that each Stinkor was first infused with the oil then rubbed on Skeletors sweaty old jock strap!

Him not stinking is about like strawberry shortcake not smelling like a strawberry. ( I use to pick on my sis about hers smelling bad,lol.)

Ive always wondered what was used to get that smell and if it can be reattached to one when it loses it,lol

I keep a Stinkor in a Zip-loc bag to preserve the smell of my youth...I think this list STINKS!

I agree with almost all that has already been said. This list is pathetic. For starters the Rocky line from jakks was marketed to adult collectors. I remember getting my preorder Drago. I waited 20 years for a Drago and they delivered with several differeent ones. Granted there was a few figs i hated but jakks covered the movies well. There may have been too many figures but hell we almost got that damn annoying robot jakks was so good. And we got an awesome Tyson figure. I bought 2 so i could make a custom one with boxing gloves.
And as far as TMNT, i grew up in Sharon Ct, home to eastman and laird. My mom had a business in the 80's like a kinkos now just she was ahead of her time. When they were just getting started they used to have tons of work done there. They told my mom between all the faxes and copies she did for them that she helped them hit it big. They gave her some sweet signed first run stuff. I sold it off for her a few years ago for quite a bit. When the turtle hit they were huge. The toys sold really well.
I disagree with almost every selection this clown has on the list.

Yeah, Moss Man is so terrible the new classics version sold out in like a minute on Mattycollector.

This guy has no idea what he's talking about.

This whole thing is terrible. Just some guy picking random figures from various toy series (notice that he does 4 or 5 from each line) and then calling it a list. 80% of those figures aren't even bad.

I hate these sites that do cheap lists all the time and never even put in a real effort.

It was the background figures that really got me hooked as a Star Wars fan as a kid. Hammerhead, Snaggletooth, Dengar, IG-88, Lobot, Power Droid, Squid Head - I treasured these guys more than Luke, Han et al. That being said I reckon they pushed the envelop with Prune Face. I still have trouble spotting him in Return of the Jedi. He was a pretty cool figure but for years I thought he wasn't actually in the movie. In terms of quality, the original EV-9D9 is pretty crappy.

As for Stinkor, Grizzlor and Moss-man - they rank as all time legends. I still use the word Grizzlor to describe grumpy people.
