Weirdest Funko Characters

Dolls became action figures when boys started buying them in the 1970s. My first doll was a Six Million Dollar man aka The Bionic Man played by Lee Majors in the iconic TV series. But there was still a dividing line between boys and girls when it came to dolls/action figures. Funko Pop changed all that. It has reshaped the action figure industry and immortalized many an iconic pop culture character. And they have created a few really weird "dolls" along the way.

Needles Kane, aka Sweet Tooth, is a psychotic killer clown who also happens to drive an ice cream truck. I guess if you are an insane fan of the Twisted Metal games it makes sense, but even then does a psychotic killer clown character on your desk send the right message to your co-workers. Even if the clown just makes you feel good, it creeps the rest of us out knowing you bought one to make you feel good.

Chris Tucker's Ruby Rhod is the weirdest space DJ in Luc Besson's famous Fifth Element. He made transhumanism seem benign. It's a bit odd to have this aggressive sexual personality who fought the Mangalores sitting on your nightstand. Watch this scene and decide for yourself.

It was PG-13, and there wasn't anything particularly graphic about the scene except for what is implied. It was weirdly uncomfortable imagining Chris Tucker's Ruby Rhod performing cunnalingus on this very erotic stewardess. And it is weird to have this Funko character staring down at you from a shelf while you are deep in sleep.

Just because he was once a beloved Hanna Barbera Wacky Races character does not mean it's ok to sell kids a toy, any kind of toy, named Dick Dastardly. It is no more acceptable than calling a woman Pussy Galore. It might have been when Roger Moore played James Bond, but that was a very long time ago. In the 21st century, where kids have access to anything on the internet, they do not need characters whose names sound like something a pedophile would name himself, no matter how funny it was in 1968.

He was a gun toting thug rapper. Yes, he was a very talented rapper, but still essentially a thug. What in the world would you do with a Funko action figure of him. It is just weird.

This one is weird because the vines wrapping around him don't even bother to concern themselves with the fact that he is a naked green bald man. Swamp Thing baring his vinyl package is very weird.

I loved the movie, and I guess I get making some of the characters into Funko figures, but the Demiguise is essentially an invisible creature, so what really is the point? It's weird to say you bought an invisible creature's Funko character.

Staying on the Fantastic Beasts collection, I think Niffler is very weird as well. It snorts and steals money. Its like Harry Potter's version of Robert Downey Jr. in Less Than Zero.

If I have to explain why it is weird to have a Michael Jackson doll, than you might as well own the collection.

This guy has a yellow dildo for a nose. But if a character named Lemongrab is not weird enough for you, just watch this.

I guess if it makes you happy to have a Lemongrab vinyl character, so be it, but that doesn't make it less weird.

Bing Bong is an Elephant Clown. Clown action figures are weird because in real life most people don't really like them. They associate them with serial killers. Making them a pink elephant in the room only adds an element of insanity. Cute for some, weird for others and admittedly scary for some of us.

Loved Hannibal as a cannibalistic psycho killer in Silence of The Lambs. Feel strange having him in my kids room as a toy.

I ate his liver with some fava beans.

This thing frightened me when I was a kid and it still does. The Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz is a weird choice for your favorite Funko figure.

I don't think a regular Bilbo Baggins Funko character is weird, I think an invisible one is really weird. For me its the same thing as the Demiguise from Fantastic Beats.

I only have one thing to say about the Sackboy from Little Big Planet.

Zed:Bring out the Gimp.Maynard:But the Gimp's sleeping.Zed:Well, I guess you're gonna have to go wake him up now, won't you?

Sackboy looks like a kid's version of the Gimp.
