New Billy the Kid Action Figure
Permalink Closed


One of my website visitors made me aware of this new Billy the Kid action figure from McFarlane Toys.  As you can see this doll looks NOTHING like Billy the Kid! It's awful. It looks more like a character in the movie "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly."

By chance I checked out the
Billy the Kid Outlaw Gang website  and their not too happy about this action figure. They are upset that Billy the Kid is in the Six Faces of Madness series along with killers like Jack the Ripper, Vlad the Impaler, Elizabeth Bathory, Rasputin, & Attila the Hun. I can see their point, Billy the Kid is in NO WAY in the same league as these historical figures --John Wesley Hardin maybe, but Billy!

This is the ugliest action figure I've seen! It looks nothing like Billy...it looks more like Van Helsing!!


I have the Six Guns figures of Billy the Kid, Wyat Earp and Doc Holiday...my favorite of course is the Billy action figure, it's sooooo cute!

I agree, it sure is horrible and does not belong
with those others. Anyone know if there is a good
action figure of Billy about 9 inches tall? I
found one 12 inches tall, but I'm looking for one
for my Breyer horses.

On a second look, it's not that bad looking but it definetly looks nothing like Billy! I have expect a laser gun to come included in the box LOL

Exactly! It's a nice looking "western badman" action figure, but in no way shape or form it's our Billy. I don't know what they were thinking when they designed that thing.


P.S. Just a heads up, I posted a message to everyone in the Small Talk forum.

I agree, it's not Billy the Kid in any way, alot of people don't understand the word THE KID! in his nickname, the paint him of as some tough broad cool dude. But Billy had a childishe look (why the hell you think he was called Kid!!)


Those things are working on my nevers...

I think I would have to agree that the guy looks more like Van Helsing then Billy the Kid. (I saw that movie, and  OMG Hugh Jackman was so hot )


Anyway, why would they compare Billy to Jack the Ripper!


It's insulting to people's intelligence to write books like that.
