Now I mean the BEST!

Best character AND figure.

I love Tom Baker as Doctor WHo but the figures werent all that great.

Lets keep this action figure only. No Dolls. Meaning a 3" Gi Joe is ok but a 12" is not.

My vote is the "Dark Knight Collection Bruce Wayne" It was from the first Batman and its one of the best likenesses of a person( Mike Keaton) I have ever seen. It has removable boots gloves, chestpiece and a helmet with attatched cape. My only complaint is the arms are bent and not straight.

Now theres other characters from other franchises I like better but this is one really cool toy.
Next?

I've got a cool original ESB Boba Fett - the big figure.

That is a cool figure ( and qualifys dispite its size because its sculpted not fabric)

Why Kenner made that one cool posable guy with all the great actions I'll never know. I even love the rubber hands that could actuelly hold things. It was just a few years after they made The Six Million Dollar Man so maybe they had the same designer

I did have the six-million dollar man but he had a rocket accident with barbie... They were cuddling in the parked the rocket too close to our radiator and it melted. That was quite a long time ago... early 70s I guess.

I can still remember my sister saying (about the burnt Barbie with still ok face) "can't I keep the head?"

My boyfriend collects action figures, so my house is full of them. It's hard to pick a favorite. I like Countess Bathory, and Joey Ramone.

Countess Bathory?
Thats the one with the naked lady in the bathtub full of blood and the three virgin heads staked to a candleabra?
I got a bad story on that one.
My buddy ditched me for a Kayaking trip we had planned because he spent the $20 bucks needed on that action figure.

Did your sister keep Barbies head? A transplant maybe? Could use it today as an attena topper on her car?

any of the transformers beast wars toys.

I was too dense to figure out the Transformers so I got stuck with war toys instead . . . .
Really a toy with a diificulty level on it? And it never looked like what it was supposed to.
I'm just bitter, sorry. Tens years ago I bought a Captain America that turned into an eagle only I couldnt get it back.
I took it into work ( school) and asked one of my students to transform it back.
It got stolen.
No I didnt tell. I wasnt about to have that lecture about not bringing my toys to school all over again . . .

My mom's pretty religious, and she bought my nephew a david and goliath action figure. very strange that they even make that. goliath was wearing red silky briefs, by the way.

What's even stranger is they also were selling a Jesus doll....huh??

They even make Jesus and moses in Large Barbie size that talk. and the company who makes other celebrity talkers insist its all "actual voices"
The little Jesus has a deluxe set where he has a water into wine accessory( like those magic baby bottles) glow inthe dark hand of healing power, and wheels on his feet for walking over water action.
I had a David and goliath set, While the Goliath was cool they messsed up the skin tones of the two. Goliath was grey (?)and david was caucasian.

I used to work on prototypes when Kenner toys was here in Cincinnati and my buddy had a dream line. He was really into horror, gore and hyper realisim. He thought the perfect outlet for this would be a line of Old Testament figures!
