    Like I said in the Coolsville thread, I don't care if they call him Blues, Coolsville or Shitbrick. I call a 3P figure by the official TF name. The 3P name is utterly irrelevant to most.

    Agreed. Allen is a pretty bad name for a figure.

    I still refer to my 3P by the actual figure name in my head. Its probably because Im constantly in the 3P threads tho.

    Duh, you're right. Still a dumb name :lol 

    EDIT: now that I think of it, Toyworld's name for their Springer is also kind of dumb.

    whether you care or not about what they name them is actually not the factor, the factor is, how came you give an awesome figure such a dumbass name, it's your chance to showcase your creative design and you go with Allen, Carry and Gundog.....surely there are better more appropriate even awe inspiring names to call the figures? Toyworld is notorious for bad names so much so that their custom combiners were named dinobot combiner and car combiner.....

    Again. It does not matter. Is an adorable kitten still adorable if its name is Scrotum? Yep. Names are irrelevant. There isn't a fraction of a percent that matters to me about the creativity of a name for a toy. Call him Blues, call him, Coolsville, call him "Mildly Racist Stereotype #11. It's still the same toy.

    I'm not sure about the worst name... but if you want the best name, the obvious answer is Shafter.

    Toyworld Krank shares name with a crappy XTB toy.
    Fans Toys Lupus named after a skin disease

    Does anyone remember Mad Blender and Dr. Crank? Seriously, those are either the worst or the best and I can't really decide.

    Canis Lupus is the scientific name for a gray wolf. I doubt Fans Toys meant for it to be associated with a disease, lol.
