Lines that sat on the shelves in the 90's and never moved

[Mikey]

I admit, I did buy ONE Demolition Man figure at retail.
I liked the movie and wanted one figure from it.
I think I got the one where Stalone is dressed in the police uniform.

[toys2cool]

i still have some last action hero figures.... if anyone is interested i'm saving an arnold one that's gonna get beat up by my other figures since he did such an outstanding job being governor.

I have almost the whole set ,just need the kid I think. I got the whole thing for like $15 a few years back, i'd like to have the Big Arnold as well

[Mikey]

This pick may be a controversial pick, but what about Spawn ?

I remember seeing these overpriced figures constantly sitting on whole walls of shelves with people (mostly adults) looking at them ... But I never remember ever seeing anyone actually buy them.

Also,

Mars Attacks

[Earth 2 Chris]

Last Action Hero: I picked up the villain in white who was supposed to be rare according to Tomart's and Lee's. I couldn't give the guy away. He's the reason I've never tried to "invest" in lines I don't collect.

Not quite 90s I don't think, but I think the local TRU finally just finally gave up and threw away the last remaining figures from the POTA remake a few months back. That stiff armed Mark Wahlberg is now in pegwarmer Hell with Secret Wars Kang.

Tigers Land Of The Lost

Oh wow,yeah, KB specials!

[Bizarro Amy]

Ultima Online. When I first started customizing 6" figures, I'd hit the KB nearby for fodder. These things were clogging up the racks, and there was really nothing you could make them into!

[jasonmego1277]

Oh and I forgot the T2 and Police Academy lines sat and sat and sat there. LOL

[thunderbolt]

Battlefield Earth. I saw them damn things for years. The GINO Godzilla human chracters sat around forever, too.

Just thought of another one .....

Those WCW figures by San Francisco Toy Company.

My local Shelby's marked them down to 2 for a $1.00 and still nobody bought them

Didn't they all have really buggy eyes? I totally forgot about those goofy things.

[BlackKnight]

He spent about twenty minutes getting in my face about how amazingly rare they are, I just let him believe that.

OOOhhh,.. they Are .....
Rare that is , in any Toy Collector's collection.

I think they actually made at least 3 different scales and styles.

1. Rip-offs of WWF LJN rubber figures (about 6" high)

2. Same as above but made of hollow plastic and took a battery to make them shake like they having a fit (stupidist feature ever)

3. 4-5" high "action figures" ... they looked really bad.

4. Hogan and Rodman 2-pack (out of scale with all other figures)

Thats the ones I can remember right off the bat
