10 Hilariously Awful Pieces Of Movie Merchandise

7. Meat Punching Bag (Rocky)

Here's a piece of merchandise that straddles the line of ridiculousness so gingerly I'm not sure whether it was manufactured with a serious mind or not. Nicknamed "The Meat", this toy from Jakks Pacific allows fans of Sylvester Stallone's underdog classic Rocky to replicate one of the film's most famous scenes, in which Rocky trains by slamming some "hurtin' bombs" into a massive flab of meat. It'll appeal to only the most dedicated Rocky obsessives, though, because it retails for a whopping $69.99. Above all else, this toy proves that somewhere, there is always a toy-maker who will bring your idea to fruition. Jakks Pacific, I salute you, but I'd love to know what the Hell you were thinking.
