Some of those Throbbleheads are really good, like GG Allin. The Jello one sucks. First off, he doesn’t really look like Jello. But aside from that, they really copped out with his outfit. They could have done something a little more Jello-ish than just an AT shirt (uggh!).
They may as well just given him a DK shirt and a name tag. I would have liked him to be shirtless and rockin’ his green latex gloves or something. The only thing really iconic at all is his belt buckle.
I think he looks close enough to Jello’s face. But the problem is that Jello doesn’t have an immediately recognizable, iconic look like Wendy O. Williams or G. G. Allin.
Al should look into licensing his image for one of these things.
A friend of mine gave me an Ozzy Osbourne squeeze/stress doll about 10 years back. I’ll put a picture of it up tomorrow. It looks to me like Rosie O’Donnell.
I also have the Iron Maiden Eddie/Trooper figure on my desk at work (another gift).
I would never buy one of these things for myself, but I think they’re cool regardless.
I had an Alice Cooper action figure, but it was from McFarlane toys, so it was a very pretty piece of junk that fell apart after less than a year on my desk.
My Wife bought me the mcfarlane slash action figure one year. I left it in the package and hung it up on the wall in our rec room. Thing goes from anywhere from 80 to 200 dollars on amazon and ebay now… she said she thought the 12 bucks she spent was pricey but not anymore.

My “Trooper” is by McFarlane. The sword and flag would always fall out of Eddie’s hands, so those are not shown, but I could just glue them if I gave a damn.
There’s a really cool Lemmy figure out there, and the Angus Young one is totally badass too. But $20 can buy a lot of tacos and beer.
