gaza would snap these up in a heartbeat.

[@oldschooltommyim]

They would love these in Ukraine

[@dank3151]

the line wouldve done better if they at least included Belloq and Toht

[@williamwilkinson6665]

One good use for these would be use in a 12" display with the 12" Indiana Jones figure.....he hates those guys ..

[@stephenthomas1492]

That's why these are nowhere near the worst action figure line out there. These are actually pretty good. If anything, these are some of the best enemy figures you can get.

[@3Storms]

The ones that were made by Dragun were balanced out with allied troops 12" figures, and Dragun made it clear that making villians in a line is no different than making Stormtroopers and Darth Vader in Star Wars. And they were right. As long as it's kept in context that these are villians, then it's acceptable to me personally. Dragun also made soldiers for both sides of the US civil war. That Himmler and Hitler figure even label them as "war criminals of the 20th century." There was no glorification or praise at all.

[@tperson8347]

I agree. That's how I see these. Although Nazis are and were terrible, there's no getting around it, you would have to make them at some point. The only difference, what makes these so despicable in some people's eyes is that it IS so recent in history and that we had a direct experience of it.

[@Barada73]

Actually, it's quite a bit different when compared to toy companies making Darth Vader or Stormtrooper action figures, because the characters in Star Wars are all fictional. They've never existed and don't have survivors still alive today who personally witnessed their crimes and lost family members because of those atrocities.

[@tperson8347]

@@Barada73 I partially agree with what you're saying, but the attricities are the same. There's a direct correlation between Germany under Nazi occupation and the Galactic Empire. There've been people who've made an issue of the use of stormtroopers and other Imperial personnel in SW. They were incorrect in thinking that Lucas was making light of the situation. It's just that this is the perfect symbol and example of what fascism and tyranny look like. There was virtually no choice but to copy the aesthetic. There are writers and experts who get into the action, excitement, and adventure side of the world wars without losing sight of what it truly meant to be there.

[@Barada73]

@@tperson8347 but a fictional mass murder who never killed anybody, because he never existed, is most definitely not the same as a real life mass murder who murdered and destroyed the lives of millions of real, living, breathing people. That difference should be immediately obvious unless a person is unable to distinguish fantasy from reality.

[@3Storms]

@@Barada73 I completely hear what you're saying and completely respect it. But I want you to think about this: somewhere out there right now someone is making nazi uniforms and props not for glorifying them, but for having them for use as villians in everything from movies to documentaries. When something from the past was evil, you really do want to keep it around not for the sake of glamorizing it, but for the sake of preventing history from repeating itself.

I think maybe people might buy these to go with their Hogan's Heroes figures? Then again, "I know nothing!"

The Love Boat action figure line was on this series, and I actually liked the Love Boat figures. So Good to see a line has taken the rightful spot as Worst Action Figure Line Ever in this video. Seeing the thumbnail I expected "click bait" but this time you delivered on promise, Junkman.

[@MrJtmendoza180]

I agree with you, Junkman. That is the worst action figure line ever made. I just hoped that they made different characters of that line, instead of those infamous names during that time. They should have made a Desert Fox, General Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, 12 inch action figure. They should have made also a 3.75 inch figures of German Wehrmacht forces, together with other Allied armies (i.e. US, British and other allied forces), just like the Raiders of the Lost Ark German soldiers.

[@DBM67]

They did make a Rommel figure.

[@spaceknight793]

Seriously? This was a GREAT line of figures. First off--these were NOT EVER made 'for kids,' nor were bought by kids, nor sold where kids could find them. These were fragile and very expensive. That said... Anyone sensible understands that toy collectors want VILLAINS as much as heroes. Three best Star Wars figures? Luke (hero), Darth Vader (villain), Boba Fett (villain). The existence and purchase of G.I.Joe's villains in NO WAY means the buyers support the villain's ideology or any of that. This is the kind of smear that spreads ignorance and lies. C'mon, Junkman, if you can't explain this to the masses, who will?

[@michaelwills1926]

Exactly brother. I’ve got a few of these and they were very well made. These were marketed as collectibles

[@ChrisRoth1972]

You made me laugh so hard when u said there was a Kid named Hitler on the Jerry Springer Show & then going through the worst of the worst Action Figures I have seen. I would be glad to burn these toys that represent hate & evil 👿

@That Junkman The Luftwaffe, German pronunciation: [lʊftvafə] was the ''German Air Force'' before and during World War 2. It was founded in 1935 as the aerial-warfare branch of the German Wehrmacht (German Army). The Luftwaffe was completely disbanded in 1945/46 following the end of the war. Oh, I looked it up! The name of this line was ''War Criminals Of The 20th Century''. I wonder if this company had planned on adding 12 inch action figures of ''Pol Pot'' or ''Idi Amin'' to the line? If so...It's a good thing that they didn't. 😮‍💨

If you think this action figure line is bad, Junkman, let me tell you about an old computer game called 'I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream'. I won't get into the details of the story, but there's this part where you have to play a concentration camp doctor... And, yeah, I'm totally not joking. Granted, you have the chance to redeem the man, but it's still pretty bad.

[@acrodave9287]

I've got an Action Man German Staff Officer and German Stormtrooper, because you need somebody for your Action Man figures to shoot at, but the ones you're showing just look like bad quality figures for sketchy people who think they're 'edgy'.Does anybody make a Benedict Arnold figure? General Pinochet? Pol Pot! (comes complete with 2 million victims). How about a line of 'Worlds Most Notorious Serial Killers'? You could have Ed Gein, Jeffrey Dahmer, Aileen Wournos, John Wayne Gacy, the play possibilities are endless! Nah, I still say the worst Action figure line were those shitty Dick Tracy abominations. Just ugly.

"I'm Stalin, here" :) I still can't get over that Joseph Stalin was actually a short guy. I thought he was a big summa gun. I don't think this is the worst, but when I think of the worst action figure line, I think of quality or that there would be no reason to make these. I'm pretty secure in my non Nazism, but it would still be awkward to start a collection of Nazi figures, to say the least. Aside from all that, these look well made and the authentic wardrobe is impressive. You would almost HAVE to put an Indiana Jones up there next to these just to release the tension. Well executed. Well done. Thanks for the video

Nope. The worst action figure ever made was this eighties deep sea diver action figure that came out. I had it unfortunately. It really tore me up too because it was so sad and boring. He was about eight inches tall and had a solid body. The arms and legs didn't move. You could turn his head left and right but that was the only articulation he had. Removable helmet sure. The thing was the packaging really looked cool. But open it up and nothing. He came with about thirty five pieces of equipment including knifes and spears and harpoons and several other things. Problem was he had no way to even hold any of these things. His hands were made into fists and didn't even have openings in his fists to hold anything. I don't know what this action figure was called but he was in stores back in the glory days of action figures. Had to be the worst. Was a tease !!! All the things he came with and they were all worthless as he was.
