Mark Hunt has an action figure and… well, let’s not sugarcoat it, it’s creepy as fuck!
Action figures are a tricky business. Unless you have that fancy facial scanning technology pioneered in easily the worst instalment of the Mission: Impossible movie franchise (more like John Boo), you run the risk of making a really dodgy product.
Those of you who were both football crazy and chocolate mad in the noughties will remember Corinthian Microstars. Although what’s probably slipped your mind is just how shit some of the efforts were.
This one, for example, is supposedly Edwin van der Saar. Uncanny, isn’t it?

However, going too far the other way can also prove problematic.

Even after looking at those atrocious figures, it doesn’t make former K-1 Grand Priz champion and former UFC title challenger Mark Hunt’s one any better.
There are a few things that are difficult to get past – some glaringly obvious issues that will probably distract you from the lack of tattoos the toy has.
The man himself didn’t take too kindly to the moobs his likeness was given and, of course, it has a penis on show for the whole world to see. A pair of shorts as opposed to an extra pair of hands may have been the wiser extra to throw into the packaging.
