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.

- floppyparty, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Half of these aren't even "action figures"
- ironeus, on 08/01/2008, -1/+10The "Barbie Benton" looks eerie, almost as if her face was photoshopped.
- RevChris, on 07/23/2008, -1/+7mmmm summerscusp
- x00x, on 07/23/2008, -2/+18The list omits the "MC Hammer" doll with the special pantalooned pants.
- sassyt, on 07/23/2008, -1/+10oh come on Jerry deserved it!!
- 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...
- 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.
- Xette, on 07/23/2008, -1/+5Yeah, Barbie Benton just looks like a photoshop wreck all together. Funny find!
- explicitmemory, 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!
- kurupttek, on 07/23/2008, -1/+10http://www.worth1000.com/contest.asp?contest_id=15 ...
Some of these are actually OK- bmystry, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Creepy and neat!
- metrognome, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1If by "OK" you mean "Nightmare inducing" then yes. There are a lot that are OK.
- doctorinfierno, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1WTF is Paris Hilton by minouz?!! That alone scared me more than anything in my life...
- kurupttek, on 07/23/2008, -1/+5This one is bad

http://www.toyboxtreasures.com/images/Diana_Ross.j ... - havefuntimes, 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!
http://www.olliemag.com/skate/dennis-busenitz-malo ... - 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.
- GetSmartGal, on 07/23/2008, -1/+2Ouch, those are some crazy looking dolls!
- LdsAskMormon, on 07/23/2008, -1/+2Such a disgrace... considering this used to be a great honor... plastinated! LOL

- consciousNOT, on 07/23/2008, -0/+0Yes, but this one goes to 11.
- mlagana, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1THIS i gotta see!
- consciousNOT, on 07/23/2008, -0/+0Yes, but this one goes to 11.
- WiretapStudios, on 07/23/2008, -1/+1Digg for calling Vanilla Ice a skid mark.
- rlbigfish, on 07/23/2008, -1/+1Topless robot?
- paranoid614, on 07/23/2008, -2/+3Your daddy sat on me!
- dnields, on 07/23/2008, -7/+1Why isn't Heath Ledger on there?
http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/joke ...
http://www.nypost.com/seven/02162008/photos/news01 ...- BoneheadFarker, on 07/23/2008, -2/+1Because he actually deserves one for that role?
- 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?
- sindex, on 07/23/2008, -2/+2did you see the list? compared to those dolls (or "action figures") Heath Ledger is a gold mine.
Not to mention he really did kick like 10 types of ass as the Joker. As of last night I am officially sad he's dead.- dnields, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Why so serious?
- jmahnn, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Where's Carrot Top?
- Foenetik, on 07/23/2008, -0/+9Redd Foxx is absolutely awesome and totally deserving of being immortalized with an action figure(doll).
- MetalGear7, on 07/23/2008, -3/+1The 10, The top 10, the best 10, get the ***** outta my digg 10 lists :( i saw 3 already scooters, nfl, and this crap and thats in one day....wtf
- 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.
- MRintheKeys, on 07/23/2008, -0/+0It's not and you should be.
- mywhitenoise, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1haha my sister had two of those (Ice and Xuxa) along with a New Kids on the Block one.
- rowlodge, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2creepy doll collection
- 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.
- opensourcer, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1haha...if dolly parton's on there...that'll take this list to the top
- 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.
- fcruz1331, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1I happened to enjoy my Victoria Silvstedt doll with fully removable clothing
- mysedai, on 07/24/2008, -1/+1Yeah, but that's because your penis actually fits inside it.
- socketman, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Good try topless robot, but not quite worth reading...
- ProUSADigger, on 07/23/2008, -2/+0I'm sorry, but I don't see the problem. It isn't like it is a huge honor to have your likeness molded
in plastic. It isn't the Congressional Medal of Honor or anything close to it.
There is definite "weirdness" factor to the whole concept, though. - dafragsta, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Redd Fox was one voice chip away from an Onion article.
- pitchblack16, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2ill pay for a vanilla ice doll right now
- 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.- Tomchei, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1The Xuxa show was awesome.
Nothing like attractive brazillian women jumping around
- Tomchei, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1The Xuxa show was awesome.
- konstantine89, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Who ARE these people
- coastalgrl, on 07/23/2008, -0/+0I agree with most if not all the most undeserving action figures/dolls choices (however I am not sure those fabric stuffed effigies count?)
But I want to know how the list could by-pass the most annoying couple who ever had their images plastizized.. Donny and Marie Osmond, big white teeth included...I mean.. really. .- ZigVicious, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1yum, incest?
Donny and Marie are brother/sister, not husband/wife...- mysedai, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1Hey, incest is best; if you can't keep it in your pants, keep it in your family!
- coastalgrl, on 07/26/2008, -0/+0Well, you see, I was not implying they were married.. I meant couple as in duo.. bad choice of words. But the thought is amusing if not scary what the offspring might look like.. but I digress.
- ZigVicious, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1yum, incest?
- NetDom, on 07/23/2008, -0/+0hilarious
- Owwmykneecap, 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.- 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.
- snaglepus, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3dugg for Captain & Tennille; love will keep us together!!!
- JLTinPA, on 07/23/2008, -0/+0"whatever"
- JLTinPA, on 07/23/2008, -1/+0Captain & Tennille?? what did they have-- like one song?
I haven't even heard of half of these people. - fijidaddy, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4Redd Foxx shouldn't be on this list...
- zheisey, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1I'm ashamed to say that I owned the Vanilla Ice doll...and the MC Hammer doll
- 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.
- sisko2k5, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Captain & Tennille....that is so obscure
- bubbameister33, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Red Foxx doll = Do want.
- breaker01, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1where's the jesus doll
- ATLien74, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2The Red Foxx doll is the *****, you Jive Ass Turkeys!
- 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?
- 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.
