Cracked has put together a great article on these terrible action figures from iconic lines, like the one featured above-April O'Neil's Boss from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line.
These are the kind of toys that had kids yelling "Awwww man! Not this one!" at their birthday party, and they were always given (in my experience, anyway) by a relative who thought they were being cool by giving you a toy from one of the hottest lines. Thanks anyways Grandma! *forced smile*

Ha ha ha Rocky Meat! Not an "iconic toy line", but I think the Nancy Pearl Librarian doll deserves a mention in any list of action figures kids might be less than enthused about. Librarians on the other hand would mostly be chuffed.

Chuckles was kind of stupid, but he had a working shoulder holster and pistol that he wore over the stupid Hawaiian shirt. That was pretty sweet. Of course me only memory of him showing up the TV show was that he was the mentally retarded Joe.
