The 18 Most Realistic Action Figures
Not every movie and TV character-related action figure is a work of art. In fact, some are downright disastrous. But every once in a while, a master toymaker comes along and creates an action figure that bears an uncanny resemblance to its actual on-screen thespian counterpart. As we anticipate a whole new line of swivel-arm battle-gripped warriors with the release of "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" (that look a bit like Dwayne Johnson and Channing Tatum), here are 18 action figures that are maybe even a little too good.
1. Ash
Bruce Campbell as "Evil Dead" hero Ashley J. Williams, S-Mart Employee and Demon-Wrecker. Hail to the King, baby.
[Get it!]
2. The Baroness
Sienna Miller as The Baroness in "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra." A hot action figure for many a young man's first crush.
[Get it!]
3. Black Widow
Here's one that's maybe a little bit too good. Which is the toy and which is Scarlett Johansson? (Is that a weird question?)
[Get it!]
4. Hannibal Lecter
An action figure that would meet even the ultra-snobby high-class standards of Dr. Hannibal Lecter.
[Get it!]
5. Hannibal Smith
Hannibal Smith loves it when a ... toy comes together.
[Get it!]
6. Hans Landa
A Nazi action figure? Hey, at least it's not a slavemaster action figure.
[Get it!]
7. Harvey Dent
You make your own luck. And you're way lucky if you own this Harvey Dent action figure.
[Get it!]
8. Jack Sparrow
Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. Savvy, no?
[Get it!]
9. The Joker
A fleeting moment from "The Dark Knight," captured forever in one sinister action figure.
[Get it!]
10. Luke Skywalker
Ten points to all of you who know this outfit is referred to as "Bespin Fatigues." Yes, clothes make you tired in the "Star Wars" universe.
[Get it!]
11. Superman
You'll believe an action figure can fly. Henry Cavill is our new "Man of Steel."
[Get it!]
12. 'Raiders' Nazi
Wait a minute ... why is this Nazi action figure okay? Probably because he got his face chopped off by a runaway plane propeller.
13. Rocky Balboa
Now you can make Rocky Balboa go as many rounds as you want.
[Get it!]
14. Snape
Who wouldn't want to add Alan Rickman to their action figure collection?
[Get it!]
15. Spock
It's only logical that a Spock action figure would be designed with detail-oriented precision.
16. Starbuck
You may have forgotten that before Starbuck was a sexy tomboy blonde, she, er, he was Face from "The A-Team."
[Get it!]
17. Superman (Again)
Now you can have Superman see through lead if you damn well want him to.
[Get it!]
18. Terminator
Remember, if big dude dressed in '80s punk chic asks you if you're Sarah Connor, you say, "Hell no!"
[Get it!]
