We have found the world’s worst Sid Vicious doll

The Ultimate Punk Rocker doll by UK company, S.I.D 1993
“The Ultimate Punk Rocker” doll by S.I.D. Limited, 1993

Apparently in 1993, only 3,000 of these super strange-looking, officially licensed action figures called “The Ultimate Punk Rocker” by a UK company (coyly calling themselves S.I.D. Limited), were ever made.

The eleven-inch figure (packaged in a coffin shaped box with Sid’s birth and death dates, classy), came with pretty much all of Sid’s iconic calling cards. Such as his “R” padlock necklace (Sid owned a few, one of them was a gift from Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders), and six different t-shirts that came packaged in weird little frames (pictured above) like his “Viva le Rock” shirt homaging Little Richard, and the unforgettable “Cowboys” shirt which Malcolm McLaren came up with after seeing a 1969 drawing by homoerotic artist Jim French.

But let’s just address the elephant in the room right now when it comes to this thing, shall we? What in the hell is going on with “The Ultimate Punk Rocker’s” FACE? It’s like the dollmaker had a picture of Frankie Carbone (played by actor Frank Sivero from the 1990 film Goodfellas) to work with instead of one featuring Sid in classic snotty-sneer mode. Anyway, despite the Ultimate Punk Rocker’s twisted mug, it’s still a pretty cool collectible that pops up from time to time on eBay if you’re interested in trying to pick one up.
