Top 10 Strangest Rock Star Action Figures

Wed., Jan. 5 2011

Top Ten Strangest Rock Star Action Figures, Dolls, and Bobbleheads. Check 'em out:

10. Zakk Wylde
9. Metallica
8. Kurt Cobain
7. Johnny Cash
6. Joey Ramone
5. AC/DC
4. Slash
Stats: "One of rock 'n' roll's most famous and accomplished guitarists in a signature pose complete with leather jacket and tophat. Includes support base, guitar, amp and speaker cabinet for those high-volume fretboard occasions."

Another one of McFarlane's mini-masterpieces, Slash rips a solo while looking to the heavens. If only a replica church on a prairie was included too, and you could re-enact the most epic scene from the "November Rain" video.
3. Kiss
2. Lemmy
1. G. G. Allin

^^ that is pretty bad! 

I think most of those figures actually looked pretty good. More of a collectible to show in your home.   I have a friend who has a few McFarlane guitarist figurines.

And I have to admit, I never heard of GG Allin until today.  Of course, I had to google it and watch some youtube.  Really?!?  Oh yeah - missed that one!

That second action figure of Slash is terrible. His hair is a little too short and his lips are huge. I have to say the one of Lemmy looks just like him which is not a good thing.

Was he eating the shit or just throwing it?....


Anyway, I have to say I didn't really find these to be particularly 'strange'. Except the Allin bobblehead I guess. But I'm not sure if anything related to him isn't odd in some way....

If you look, you will see the Guitar Hero logo. The action figure is a perfect representation of Slash as he appears in Guitar Hero III, which is what it's supposed to be. The style of those games is caricature.
