3. Wildman Marc Mero (JAKKS Pacific - 1997)
If you watched wrestling in the mid-1990's, chances are you remember the 'Wildman' Marc Mero. In WCW, he'd been Johnny B. Badd who looked like a knockoff Little Richard. The guys at Jakks seemed to get the memo that Mero looked like Little Richard and just went with it. The facial expression on this figure is terrifying. It feels like he's staring at you and plotting your death at every opportunity. The Wildman also seems to have been to the beach to tan his torso but not his legs and arms as they seem to be a different shade to the rest of his body. Yes, wrestlers do usually go to the beach wearing sleeves and long tights, I get that... Marc Mero had bigger problems in real-life, like letting his wife powerbomb him and ruin his career, but it's a shame that when he looks back on wrestling and remembers his WWF action figure, it resembles a muscely and perverted Little Richard lookalike.
