The 10 Most Undeserving Celebrities Who Got Action Figures

toplessrobot.com — Being immortalized in plastic is one of the true benchmarks of being a celebrity. Still, like any exclusive club, occasionally a bit of riffraff gets in—and toymakers find odd or low-tier celebrities who no sane, loved child would want an action figure or doll of, and then make action figures and dolls of them anyways.

  • x00x, on 07/23/2008, -2/+18The list omits the "MC Hammer" doll with the special pantalooned pants.
  • bmtmtc, on 07/23/2008, -1/+14Xuxa absolutely deserved her own doll......in Brazil. Down there she is mega-huge. I agree though that it shouldn't have been released here but to say she herself didn't deserve a doll is not true.
  • inactive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+11If the Red Foxx doll had said, “You Gotta Wash Yer Ass." It would've been the best doll ever created!
  • alapoet, on 07/23/2008, -1/+12"Riffraff" is putting it kindly!
  • ironeus, on 08/01/2008, -1/+10The "Barbie Benton" looks eerie, almost as if her face was photoshopped.
  • sassyt, on 07/23/2008, -1/+10oh come on Jerry deserved it!!
  • kurupttek, on 07/23/2008, -1/+10http://www.worth1000.com/contest.asp?contest_id=15 ...
    Some of these are actually OK
  • Foenetik, on 07/23/2008, -0/+9Redd Foxx is absolutely awesome and totally deserving of being immortalized with an action figure(doll).
  • inactive, on 07/23/2008, -1/+7mmmm summerscusp
  • twoboxen, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4I'm sure the Victoria Silvstedt and Barbie Benton dolls would sell pretty fast if they were life size.
  • fijidaddy, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4Redd Foxx shouldn't be on this list...
  • Xette, on 07/23/2008, -1/+5Yeah, Barbie Benton just looks like a photoshop wreck all together. Funny find!
  • kurupttek, on 07/23/2008, -1/+5This one is bad

  • snaglepus, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3dugg for Captain & Tennille; love will keep us together!!!
  • onlyaftersunset, on 07/23/2008, -1/+4The sad thing is that years from now, these obscure collector's items will be worth a LOT of money.
  • roomforpanic, on 07/23/2008, -1/+4Yeah, the super-villain, now-deceased star of the year's biggest comic book action movie, why would HE have an action figure?
  • pitchblack16, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2ill pay for a vanilla ice doll right now
  • blarch, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2and Xuxa...porn star turned children's TV host, how does she not deserve an action figure. Confucious say...
  • jmahnn, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Where's Carrot Top?
  • ATLien74, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2The Red Foxx doll is the *****, you Jive Ass Turkeys!
  • inactive, on 07/23/2008, -1/+3The Last kid would be kicking it with pro skaters everyday if he was alive today. Carls Jr. and JACK in the Box are both big sponsors of skateboard contests. I wonder if they'll throw one of his dolls out at the next free skateboard product toss? hahaha!

  • floppyparty, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Half of these aren't even "action figures"
  • icantdenythis, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2My Jerry Springer action figure gets used often when me and my sister/aunt/mother are fighting with my brother/cousin.

  • opensourcer, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1haha...if dolly parton's on there...that'll take this list to the top
  • inactive, on 07/23/2008, -1/+2Ouch, those are some crazy looking dolls!
  • sisko2k5, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Captain & Tennille....that is so obscure
  • dsendecki, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1So, I haven't read the article but dude, if the Sgt. Slaughter action figure from GI Joe (5.5 inches with kung-fu grip) isn't there, I will be pissed.
  • inactive, on 07/23/2008, -1/+2Such a disgrace... considering this used to be a great honor... plastinated! LOL
  • zheisey, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1I'm ashamed to say that I owned the Vanilla Ice doll...and the MC Hammer doll
  • konstantine89, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Who ARE these people
  • inactive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Vanila Ice's rap on Ice Ice baby actually isn't bad, he has a good syncopated rhythm going.
    The guy was a real rapper before he was spun into a joke by the record labels, his made up backround and the nonsense he came out with, especially regarding the sample from Queen/Bowie.

    But all that crap shouldn't obscure the decent lines he did lay down.

    You can't find anyone nowadays who will admit to actually buying his song, like the way no one voted for Thatcher, even though she was elected 3 times. Funny aint it.

    Word to your mother.
  • Menoats, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1Am I the only sick perv that wanted to see that Victoria Silvseted doll naked? You know just to see how anatomically correct she is for myself. Unfortunately google only offered me a tease.

  • mysedai, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1I bought "To the Extreme", I can still remember all the lyrics to "Ice Ice Baby", and, like so many who prefer to remain anonymous, I crank the radio and sing along if nobody's around to see.
  • PabloIV, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1you think the Xuxa show was bad? YouTube Nubeluz.

    The quality will probably be crap but it was like 40 out of work models jumping around in tight fitting belly showing clothes.
  • mysedai, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1Hey, incest is best; if you can't keep it in your pants, keep it in your family!
  • doctorinfierno, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1WTF is Paris Hilton by minouz?!! That alone scared me more than anything in my life...
  • anchora, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1I dugg it at Vanilla Ice.
  • mysedai, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1New Kids on the Block action figures, anybody?
  • ZigVicious, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1yum, incest?
    Donny and Marie are brother/sister, not husband/wife...
  • angelad, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1These aren't action figures, they're DOLLS. Most of these on the list are 12-inch "Barbie" sized dolls, and two or so are clothe type dolls. The majority of the list are people who were FAMOUS AT THE TIME, therefore that's why they got the doll - -like the Captain from Captain and Tenille. What do you think they just make that guy's doll yesterday? I thought this list was going to have Halle Berry as Catwoman or something like that. Very misleading and inaccurate.
