Paquin's Action Figure Woes
OSCAR-winning actress ANNA PAQUIN had a tough experience overseeing
the production of her X-MEN action figure - because she found it far
too "ugly".
The Canadian-born screen star, who grew up in New Zealand, was thrilled
when she learned a plastic likeness of her character ROGUE was going into
production, but she was far from happy with the initial results.
She says, "I had head approval, so (the designers) would bring me
samples and ask, 'Do you like this one?' I'd say, 'I'm not that ugly.
Seriously, could you maybe make it a little prettier?'
"Also, my knees turn in a bit, which you wouldn't know, except the
prototype box had a picture that was totally pigeon-toed! I said,
'Come on, guys! I understand giving the dolls bigger boobies or
longer legs - which they did anyway - but did they have to accentuate
the knees-that-face-each-other thing?'"
