Today, we conclude our epic Top 10 of of 2022 journey with the WORST figures of the year! And by worst, I mean the ones I bought and didn't care for.
It should go without saying that this is the most subjective list of all. We probably collect very different lines, so I can't wait to hear your picks in the comments!

I really appreciate how you presented this list. I absolutely hate when people just act like something is the worst thing in existence instead of just talking about how something was a disappointment or let down to themselves.
Thanks so much! I agree and really appreciate you saying that. I was back and forth on doing this video for that reason, so I am glad it didn't come across that way.
@@5POAFigureReviews you did well. Honestly there have been so many videos over the years that I’ve had to stop watching because of the way they frame their narrative has bothered me. It’s one thing to make a statement such as “what I look for in the figures I collect is a mix of representation, engineering, quality, etc.” and it’s a whole other thing to be like “this figure is garbage that should’ve never been made, boycott the company for having even made it”.
They do it for clicks. Hyperbole gets views on the UA-cams.
@@uphilliceskater very true
@@uphilliceskater yeah I know, and when I’m watching a video and see someone talking like that, I just click do not recommend and block their accounts.
The "I don't like to be negative" interjections had me rolling! Great work Jason!
lol thanks Jon. I enjoyed that too
Thanks for the video 5POA. Lately, a WORST action figure of the year list is often clickbait for our community, I love the fact YOUR version was filled with so much positive material.
Thank you so much, Jay! I really back and forth on doing this for that exact reason, so I am very happy that the positivity came through.
@@5POAFigureReviews we are all guilty of it brother. I try to avoid, but you don't see too many train wrecks or lions fighting alligators in real life. Ahahahahaha.
Would we really need a versus on that Sabretooth? Because.. I mean, the Legends' look alone speaks for itself. XP
lol very true, but my thought it that putting a video out there would be helpful for raising awareness that the Select exists for collectors who never heard of it. It was a store exclusive, so isn't as widely as widely known as the 90s one.
@@5POAFigureReviews True, true!
My worst of the year is the X-Men “Cel-Shaded” line that doesn’t actually use cel shading.
Not only did it stink, it ruined any chance of getting a well-done 1/12th scale cartoon line. Maybe NECA can swoop in and make it. Diamond Select makes some incredible X-Men animated busts and I hoped the Hasbro designs would be similar.
Yeah some of those are really rough, especially Jean and Mystique. I've been fighting the temptation to hop on the "get Cyclops and remove the paint" bandwagon, but I expect we'll get him soon enough without it. They didn't pay for that new tooling for nothing after all.
Im down for the sabertooth breakdown
9:11 (oh, that’s a convenient time mark) the body is from the colossus from the apocalypse wave (if I’m not mistaken), the one with the beard and more modern costume
You are absolutely correct, I don't know how I messed that one up
9:13 That age of apocalypse AOA Sabertooth is not on the Omega Red body.. it’s a brand new sculpt for him.. VENOM is on the omega red body which has butterfly joints and is significantly smaller than AOA Sabertooth.
Sabertooth isn't on the omega ed body. The omega red body has butterfly joints
Ahh you're right, good catch!
Nice explanation of why you were disappointed in the ones on your list. One of the worst on my list is the Wakanda Forever Attuma BAF, the waist on my copy doesn't stay pegged in.
You are the Andy Rooney of action figure reviews. Thank you sir
I'll take it! Thanks, Andrew.
@@5POAFigureReviews I use to love him with Judy Garland.
The old Toybiz Sabretooth is still great.
Sabretooth is not on the Omega Red body mold it uses the colossus mold
Very true! I don't know how I let that slip me up. Good catch!
That Catwoman has been periodically showing up at my local Ross for several years now. Grabbed her for $5, might use her for a custom if I can think of a character to work those parts into.
I have seen a lot of customs with her, so I think you'll have fun with her
Mikey and Leo look like they just ate Donny and Raph
Hahahaha yes they do
Another knock on Jonathan Kent is the glued bicep swivels. Shame I actually like the figure but it's amazing how much that articulation gaff kills any enjoyment.
Lot of little frustrations throughout, sadly.
Love your channel dude!
Thank you Tristan!
Yeah, Ive cant even see paying $8 on Amazon for the McFarlane Catwoman. What a shame
I see that little sneaky mafex batman in the background. Are you going to review him?
Oh my, how did that get there....
Thank-you! Great Video.
You're welcome Pete! Glad you enjoyed it
great video, as usual, thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for the kind words
Versus of sabretooths please
great vid and agree those are all pretty worthy of a 10 top I probably would've maybe added super7 Andre the giant, loyal subjects bebop and rocksteady
Oh no, I was thinking of dipping my toe into the Super7 TMNT. What's wrong with the Bebop and Rocksteady?
@@5POAFigureReviews the super7 bebop and rocksteady are pretty good the bst axn loyal subjects bebop and rocksteady are terrible lol. Super7 ones are just expensive haha
I don't know the Jonathan Kent Superman so can't comment on the likeness but if it was paler I can see that as a Sandman head.
That is a fantastic idea! Great observation
Im the same way as far as buying figures. Thats why I dont like BAFs. I dont buy if i dont like and i really didnt want the figs in the Plastic man wave but i was surprised by Aquaman. He is super flexible
I bought Jon Kent loose on Ebay (mainly to do some kitbash stuff) and i'm glad I got it used/loose cause I wouldn't have paid more than $15 for a new one. That head/face is more fitting for the Superboy Prime figure and vice versa.
They should’ve given the what if red skull alternate hands like gun holding hands so you can give him a gun to hold and I would’ve customize that what if red skull into V9, V10, or V11 iron grenadiers from G.I. Joe.
I said the same thing about his hands in my review of him, but it never even occurred to the awesome potential for G.I. Joe weapons. Great idea!
I love my Jonathan Kent Superman. But he should have an alternate cape version and a pretty boy head sculpt.
Hopefully we get a Gold Label alternate version at some point that's a bit closer to the comic.
Get rid of the ball joints. They are ugly. Side eye 😒 meh. I like it on some alternate head sculpts. No more yellow mustard gold please. More caped figures and give us what we want. 😢❤🎉😂😊
I don’t like negative talk; so, surprised I click on this video… hahaha…
But I do agree with many of your opinions. But I do wonder about the toymakers. Is it all about the budget? Some of these seem like easy fixes for the casual users. Do these people actually like playing with toys or this is just a job for them - especially the designers/engineers? Hmmmm…?
Thanks Brian! Glad you enjoyed it. That's a great question, and I don't know that there is an easy answer. I am sure that there are those who just treat it like a job. And we also don't know a lot of what goes on behind the scenes, as far as what the toy makers want versus what the finance department expects, or even the licencers for that matter. But I do agree that a lot of these are bafflingly simple fixes.
It’s been a lot of pizza Spider-Man body mode that been Reused
Gee Louie..in the age of modern times there are still figures of shame.😱
I fear it may only get worse lol
You can add this to the list The Batman Bruce Wayne Drifter Unmasked and The Batman Unmasked Variant
Yeah, had I gotten those the Drifter at least probably would have been on the list just for the head and paint job.
Beard game up !
Thanks!
McFarlane seems to want to make all of their characters edgy and grim.
There's a difference between negative comments and a negative attitude. Negative comments are necessary to provide honest reviews.
Very very true.
The johnathan Kent S looks like raw clay
If you think that S looks like raw clay, just take a look at the Blackest Night Superman's. Yikes.
Can you do a top 10 TMNT figures
I would love to but unfortunately I don't collect enough Turtles to make an informed list. I did get the two Street Fighter sets and the Universal Monsters, though. I'd like to explore more with Turtles this year.
That Jonathan Kent Superman is my first figure bought ever.
Really? That is so cool! Every figure is someone's first, and I love hearing about it. Where has your collecting taken you since then?
@@5POAFigureReviews I bought it last December. Then I bought another one the Dark Detective the one with no jacket. Im new in collecting action figures
That Batgirl was Definitely one the worst!!
Sad given that Barbara is my favorite female comic character
the superman figer isnt a bad figer for stop motion or as a toy it self not bad for kids but as a teen or adult not a great figer to displayed with
I haven't tried stop motion, but I could see it being good for that
I subbed to your dad
I'll tell him he needs to start making content ha
Hello! I have the honor of being first comment
You sure are! Nice
My top 5 worst figures are #5 DKR Armored Batman. #4 Injustice 2 Flash. #3 Jazwares Halo Infinite Hyperius. #2 Gotham Knights Batgirl. #1 Lanard Jungle Hunter Predator.
Sad about Jungle Hunter. I enjoyed the first wave of those. Only new figure I got was the glow in the dark Alien
@@5POAFigureReviews Jungle Hunter Predator is the only figure I've bought another company's figure right after and gave away the first one. I bought a Hiya Toys AVP Celtic predator and it's my favorite figure of the year from any company.
All DC figures are the worst of the century
