8. Agnes Oblique - Bravely Default
Square Enix released Bravely Default last year a brand new IP heavily inspired by the Final Fantasy franchise so in honour of the game's main protagonist, the company launched a special collector's edition for Europe featuring an Agnès Oblique figurine. An early prototype was tweeted by the Official Bravely Default Twitter account, but Agnès looked nothing like her 3D-printed Japanese predecessor. Unfortunately, fans were greeted by the "European" Agnès with soulless eyes and a bleak, badly-executed paint job. Western censorship laws could be partly to blame for the shoddy finish, since such laws required many a wardrobe change for Bravely Default's female characters, including Agnès and Edea. Hemlines were lengthened and the skimpy bunny outfit showing slim, toned character midriffs were substituted for full corseted costumes. Maybe that's why Agnès looks so meek; she's been silenced by the rules of censorship, her eyes bulging from the need to shed a few tears at her ghastly artistic treatment.
7. Dennis Nedry - Jurassic Park
Kenner Products, in association with Hasbro, designed the early '90s Jurassic Park action figure sets, and while their Dr. Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler were great, poor Dennis Nedry's was forced through the ignominy of liposuction and dark shades. People invariably complain about the sexism attached to the unrealistic representation of female bodies in Barbie dolls, but how the hell was Nedry supposed to get through here? Issues of weight aside, there's also two glaring problems; his glasses are not detachable a terrible ordeal for Nedry and there's no yellow raincoat in sight. Kids and adults can't even act out the film's crucial scene and give Nedry the death scene he deserves. What an absolute travesty! Hasbro may just have to make up for its inconsistencies when the new action figure sets launch later this year in celebration of Jurassic Park 3D.
