    Do not joke about this. Just look away and hope for a better future.

    Rocky's Meat

    Having to buy an accessory separately is embarrassing. Especially when it is just a mangled cow torso for your Rocky figure to hit.

    Dorothy McFarlane

    Todd McFarlane's toy company did not try to make a beloved franchise weird. Look at Dorothy fromThe Wizard of OzRIP Innocence.

    Mighty Car

    The A-Team van falls into toxic waste with Mr. T driving. Who gave that mutant an axe and machine gun?

    MO LARR

    Masters of the UniverseThis toy line was already odd. It got weirder when Eternia's dentist joined the fight against Skellator in this Matty Collector exclusive.

    Maximum Sweat

    Wrestling action figures have gimmicks for a long time. They cover many ideas. Yet, making your mostly-naked guys get drenched in sweat seems gross.

    Shannon From Lost

    What is more fun than an actor figure of a sleeping woman? What if she looks like a shellacked corpse?

    Aunt May

    An Aunt May doll is weird. We do not want to picture the sad, Spider-Man-themed birthday where the kid gets this as a gift. Is that a milk mustache?

    Farmer Michaelango

    The TMNT franchise lacks ideas with the farmer variants. Also, these guys live in the city.

    Elizabeth Bathory

    We all had relatives who gave us 'educational' toys as kids. Creepy Uncle Todd McFarlane covers this with this (probably) inaccurate picture of Elizabeth of Bathory. Some show her nipple, so there is an anatomy lesson.

    Thanks, Uncle Todd!

    First Mate Robin

    Being Robin is an unsung role; you stay in the Bat's shadow. Adding 'First Mate' and dressing you like a pirate is an insult.

    Mrs. Claus

    Assume this toy is not for kids. Even this toothy version of Mrs. Claus ruins Christmas for everyone.

    Grimlock

    Fans of Optimus and Megatron may not know the short-livedTransformerThe series of robots that looked like guys who turned into robots who turned into dinosaurs. Grimlock was the stoutest, weirdest look in the batch.

    Thirty years ago, William "The Fridge" Perry created a G.I. Joe from the '85 Chicago Bear's break out defensive player. That was a great idea. Explaining it now sounds crazy.

    My Chemical Romance Figures

    These might have sold well at Hot Topic in the early 2000s. Now, they are about as desirable as a copy of their latest LP.

    Raptor

    Cobra is full of oddballs and rejects. However, this yuppie accountant turned shirtless bird-lover is too weird, even for the guy who is a genetic mix of the world's worst tyrants who ran Cobra.
