Bootleg of the month: Dude Love

Finally, Dedicated Readers, I've found something to write about that isn't a weird video. Aren't I proud of me? Yes I am. Today, we'll be looking at a fine example of an unlicensed "Wrestling Figure," as this one is brand-named. I found it at a local Dollar General. I paid, you guessed it, a dollar.



Now, just so you all know, I'm nowhere near a wrestling fan, but I am a fan of cheap, low-quality, unlicensed action figures. I don't know what it is about them, but I just find them hilarious. Just look at him.



I do know Dude Love is a character created by Mick Foley, a wrestler who also has 2 other personalities: Cactus Jack and Mankind. If I could find figures of those two distributed by "Dolgencorp," as this one is, I'd be ecstatic. Normally, I open most of my action figures, but this guy is such a shining example of crap in a package, I just have to leave him on the card.

Here's an example of a quality, officially licensed Dude Love figure, so you can see for yourself how they measure up:


If you're not laughing right now, I apologize. I sure am.

Be sure to tune in to the next Bootleg of the Month, where I'll pit 25th GI Joes against Team Xtreme and whatever those figures CVS has are. (Yeah, those are knockoffs, but still.) Big hands! Huge chests! Tiny heads! Next to no articulation!
