There have been many great characters that have had a pretty bad figure made. I don't mean that the figure itself was bad, but the overall look of the figure was bad for the charactor. Case in point, Firefly Version Two aka Green Spandex Firefly.
Seen above: Lookin' Good!
Look at this guy. He went from a cool Urban Camo uniform to green spandex. Plus, he gained a few pounds it seems. Also, the regular grenades weren't cutting it anymore so he went and got some bling before bling was cool. Gold Hand Grenades! Why? Because he keeps it real. Also, you have the weird spinning green mine thing that shoots from a gold box via a pull cord.
Shown above: the most impractical device used for sabotage. Ever.
Here's the thing. I know how bizarre this figure is but I love it! That's right. I love this figure. I own at least one of every Firefly figure ever made and I have three of this guy and two of the same figure with black instead of gray. (Hasbro made two versions of this figure, probably because it is guards the road at the Awesome City Limits.)
What figure do you love that deserves no love?
Psych-Out: in part because we work in the same field, and in part because his role is very important in any modern army. His tech was just a little too futuristic, and that lime green vest was atrocious. BUT he was one of the few who could actually pull rank on Hawk and the brass in specific situations (like if he deems you unfit for duty, you are off the mission, maybe even off the team). Too bad he never got the respect he deserves. 
Croc Master: Yeah, he is cheesy in name, appearance, and role, but in my world he is a creepy badass that even the Dreadnoks don't joke with. And, given Cobra's tropical island setting, I think his role kinda makes sense in a fantasy way. Sometimes low-tech works better than high-tech, and just the thought of all those crocs on the island is enough to keep all but the most determined recon soldiers far away. 
Fishing Vest Bazooka: If you repaint his idiotic colors, this is one very good looking, realistic figure. What "fishing vest?" That is his tactical webbing. "Fishing hat?" No, a boonie hat. This figure rules!
