Worst Action figures on the planet

[Chopper]

For shame, the evil Muton is not crap and neither is Lift Ticket, he's almost Z colours and I like him. So there. I will mention the Roboskull tho, not a figure but mein got in himmel.

There are so many crap Joes its not funny. Any of those dodgy big chest wonky later versions. Any of the bright fluro colour figures, any of the Cobralala figures..... Dr Mindbender, Raptor, Big Boa, half the vipers, the later Dreadnoks, the 25th figures.... where does it end. Dammit, I thought I had the pics of my latest custom, but they are at home. He is truly the epitome of crap, I'llpost pics tonight.

I agree too Eddie, these guys will never adorn my shelves. Globulous indeed. Its as bad as Greedo shooting first.

There, rant over. Oh that felt good

Oh I'm starting to like this thread..I've been looking for a D&D Elkhorn for ages now..Something about the Corps guy reminds me of that sword guy outta the live action He-Man film.. & Lobotomax does look a lot better when his head is positioned correctly.
Cobra La team are mostly rubbish..but I do find the gaurd one nice, not so much as part of the Joe line..but as a action figure/toy & would like to own him.
Back in the day, I always thought just looked like a deep sea diver with cheap bits stuck on for effect, so I would never owned one..now a days I think he's sort of cool in a Dr Who deep sea divers with bits on for effect type monster, & own 3 of them.

Could this post herald the imminent arrival of Captain Craptastic Chopper? I hope so!

I'd expect his arrival to be somewhat bumbling, perhaps tripping over a paint pot on his way to the camera or something in a "Shockmaster bad" way?

[SteveD]

Just realised as I posted that that the Shockmaster Bad comment may be lost on most, as we are a toys website, not pro wrestling, so, to explain....

I was always a big fan of Wrestling growing up (still am, but it's just not as good these days), and in the 90's Sting was one of the top 'good guy' wresters. Him and his team needed a partner for a big tag match against Sid Vicious's team and for weeks were building up the to debut of this unstoppable monster called the Shockmaster that was going to be their tag partner. With a short time to go to the match the Shockmaster made his debut, and this is what happened:-



And no, he was not meant to trip as he burst through the wall! It's gone down in wrestling history as one of the funniest and most botched debuts ever! A fat bloke in a glittery Stormtrooper mask falls over within 10 seconds of his debut!

Hence the expression "Shockmaster Bad".

Sorry for boring you....

Oh my god! I've never seen that before! That is the worst thing I have ever seen in Wrestling history! As they point out the Gobbledy Gooker was dog sh*t, but sweet baby Moses that was absolutely awful! Even before he breaks through the wall the promo is all over the place! Why has Davy Boy got his back to the camera?
It offends me greatly when other forms of entertainment nick something from Sci Fi and think no one will notice!
The French national Rugby team used to play the Star Wars theme tune sometimes when they won a match. Bastards. I mean, come on, a Stormtrooper helmet sprayed silver!?!?
I'm going to watch Smackdown tonight at the Birmingham NEC, take the piss out of me if you like If I see the Shockmaster there I will I'll give him a Tombstone Piledriver from you.

You are welcome to have this Elkhorn if you want to trade for something? As you can see from the picture he is quite battered and has a broken horn on his helmet.
I'm away for four days now so PM me if you want him and I'll reply when I get home.

it came from the fruit bowl...

That is officially quite rubbish Annie! Surely that's not the factory paint job?

That is the worst thing I have ever seen in Wrestling history!

I know! It makes me laugh every time I see it. Until today I'd never seen Dusty's explanation of it though, which made me laugh all the more! Although WCW around that time did turn out some rubbish. If you can find it look out for Sting & Davey Boys promo where they are on a boat being attacked by some sort of crazed dwarf? A real WTF moment!
