Top 5 Worst Jurassic Park Action Figures

  A few days ago I wrote about the top 5 Best Jurassic Park Action Figures. Well today I am writing the Sequel to the top 5 best Jurassic Park Action Figures with the top 5 Worst Jurassic Park Figures. As you probably know, Kenner's Jurassic Park figures were hit and miss when it came to the headsculpts and the poor attire choices they made. However nothing can compare to the stupidity of these 5 figures.
   1. Nick Van Owen. This figure is from series 1 of The Lost World Jurassic Park line. This figure looks nothing like Vince Vaughn and the whole hat thing is just plain wrong. I wonder who Kenner was really basing this on. It was probably someone from the book, Maybe Jutson who was in the original script. Also the dinosaur makes no sense whatsoever. However I do give Kenner brownie points for including the video camera.
Oh Look it's a Crocodile Dundee figure.
   2. The Evil Raiders. Ok these human figures make no sense whatsoever. They were made up characters by Kenner for the Jurassic Park Series 2 line. However Why would they make figures that aren't based on characters in the book or movie? A waste of plastic as far as I'm concerned.
3. The Dino Trackers. Ok these also make no sense because as I stated with the Evil Raiders, these were characters that were not in the book or movie, but made up by Kenner. Don't confuse them with the ones that are included in box sets and exclusives, those are repaints of these. The only one that kind of makes sense is Jaws Jackson because he looks like the Jeep driver.
4. Lynx. Ok this one isn't that bad but It makes the list because it is actually a preexisting dinosaur with a new name. There never was a dinosaur called a Lynx. The dinosaur is really a Lycaenops. Anyway this isn't Kenner's fault, it's Hasbro's.
5. Amanda Kirby. This figure was one of the first Jurassic Park III figures I've bought. Why does this make the list? Well she looks too generic, kind of like those Playskool Mommy and Daddy figures. Her headsculpt sure reminds me of one, Also it looks nothing like Tea Leoni. Her character was kinda annoying in JP3.
