A collection of some of the most egregious examples of bad figure design and sculpting seen to date. There some truly grotesque little gargoyles amongst their number, almost impressively so.
Some of these look to have the excuse of being secondary merchandise to go with DVDs and the like, but there are plenty which are full commercial figures… Just what were they thinking?
You can contrast this with legends of hentai and ero.

Sader is missing.
OH MOKKOS
AM I CUTE?
UGUUUUUUUUUU
wow FAIL
MOK-KOS will always be my favourite, next to Sader (who seems to be missing from the collage)
I do not know whether to laugh or cry or do both. I think I am going to stare at my collection of Nanoha figurines to detox
Third row from bottom, first column from the right.
Is it me or does Misato look horribly misshapen?
One of the best reasons to beware of buying stuff online: they steal and post whatever pictures of genuine figurines from the official site, then send a Chinese fake if one foolishly orders.
Yes, this ain't complete without SADER the WMD. LOL.
OMG what have they done to my MAYOI-CHAN ; ;
o mai gadsh, i cann uns3ee @_____@'''
Last row,third collumn:
The purple haired figure looked pretty fine to me at the first place.., until i noticed that she's being raped by a couple of Mokkos.....
And it looks like someone actually drew those fugly eyes on that Chi figure..
the ai enma doesn't even look like her, so poorly done. that figure is a completely horrible failure, and i wish they would burn every single one of those figures that were ever made. every hell girl addict wants the figure from alter-- why won't they make more of that instead? it's sold out practically everywhere anyway.
LOL@To Heart XDDD
Second row, third picture.
What the fuuuuuuuck.
Though, the second picture in the fourth row would be sort of cool for a horror-type.
Hush, she's being possessed by a demon... (The Exorcist's reference)
Oh god PLEASE NO...not my Mayoi-chan :<
I cant sleep tonight now
lol
I bet I can make better ones with play-doh... hahaha.
No failed figure collection is complete without SADER.
Man gotta collect them all to start a new collection of raep.
Its kinda sad, original figures are really rare here were I live. Those ugly figures are mostly available here.
lol wut @ hermione
And what is with the two to the left of her?
How did you know that's a Harry Potter doll? They are so deformed that not even my dog will like to chew.
The first one in the fifth row looks ready to kill.
A dried turd with popcorn kernel eyes and twist ties for arms and legs would be better than half the FAILS displayed here.
You forgot to include the infamous "Sader" figurine :D
I was about the say the same...how could the legendary "Big Evil God(dess)" been left out? XD
Yep, I was gonna point that.
Nothing that can't be fixed though:

Also, here's another one directly from Brazil for your viewing pleasure:

lol exactly what I was about to say. Funny how my brother has the original version from Clayz sitting right in his room, roughly a few days after I first saw the fugly figure pics.
I was hoping to find my figurine (supposedly) by FineScenery in here but alas. This mecha-musume figurine's face looked totally deformed from some erronous cast and I suspect I bought a cheap chinese fake for the same price. An otherwise trustworthy webshop I got many fine figures from in the past.
It's the Mig60 girl, surely someone here has it. Can I get confirmation that I bought a fake?
Here's some images of the real figure up close
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10048403a/20/1
That's the same I got then, if you look closely you'll see how her lock of hair over her forehead just stops mid-way leaving an empty area of forehead between that floating hair and where the hat should've been.
Rather, they made the casting mold of the scalp too deep/high or something? Where was the QC manager sleeping, if there was one to begin with.
They tried to make the Enma Ai one as close to the original as possible, by actualy giving it the power to transport you to hell if you look at it for too long.
4th row, 2nd Column, she has her rape face on.
That one creeped me out.
Top left Kosomos.
HAHAHA OH WOW
I HAVEN'T LOL'D THAT HARD IN A LONG TIME.
She's called Mokkos,iirc..
Heh Chaos. Jigoku's caught me off guard.
The Misato one got me.
I have Misato on top of my subwoofer and I can't actually fathom how they managed to fuck her up so badly in their version...
Yeesh. That's a buttload of ugly.
...Just-.... Nevermind... No comment. They tried... I guess...
That's a rather impressive collection of ugly.
i....is that first one supposed to be KOSMOS?!?!
Fail figures fail OTL
they need to look for a better Chinese factory
Not the factory's problem. The company's problem. =_=
Careful, in China, "better" means "more fail."
jeah, this list is not complete without Sader!
i guess they're all pirated versions from China.Bad paint job.
