10 Star Wars Action Figure Look Alikes



Nowadays, it seems like every celebrity under the sun has an action figure. Corey Feldman just got one, and Cary Elwes has one on the way, and if that isn’t a sign of the apocalypse, I don’t know what is. (Granted, it’s for the long overdue The Princess Bride, but still…Cary Elwes!) But what about the toys that unintentionally resemble celebrities? In its early years, the Star Wars line suffered from a lot of terrible likenesses, and while we couldn’t find any that looked like Cary Elwes (although there were too many who looked like Corey Feldman to count), we did find ten figures that were the spitting images of actors they were absolutely, positively not intended to resemble.

Although I found this Topless Robot article via BoingBoing, I was surprised to discover the author is actually by my friend (and high school chum), Zach Oat. Zach has also blogged on the 10 Most Disturbing Smurfs and Iron Man or Downey. Good Stuff.
