5. Shawn Michaels (JAKKS Pacific - 1996)
In 1996, Shawn Michaels was a good looking, 30-year-old wrestler with his career ahead of him. So when Jakks were tasked with making their first two figures for the WWF line, HBK was a natural choice for one of those spots. They decked him out in some signature Heartbreak Kid tights and gloves and everything was on the right track. Then they made that face. HOW OLD DOES HE LOOK HERE?!? The Showstopper looks, facially, about fifty and his hair seems to resemble Vigo from Ghostbusters more than the WWF Champion's locks at the time. It's also mesmerising how his earrings are just part of the design of his hair. WWF should've seen this and went back to Hasbro on their hands and knees, begging to get back together. This figure was a sign of the poor things to come.
