1) Princess Leia Organa
I wouldn’t be surprised to learn some past Hasbro exec hated Princess Leia or Carrie Fisher. It’s about the only explanation for this figure, which is somehow about as bad as all the other toys on this list put together. Called “Monkey-Face Leia” even back in the day, it’s hard to deny that the toy couldn’t be easily modified to create a mediocre Planet of the Apes action figure. Between the simian face sculpt and even more problematic “action pose” going on under her robes, she was rather justly mocked, but fans bought her figure in drives anyways. Obviously, thanks to her bow legs, there was zero chance in hell she could stand on her own. And Hasbro didn’t even have the decency to give her massive biceps like all the boys! General Leia deserved better, as she did in so many other ways.
