Top 10 FAILED Blockbuster Movie Toy Lines You Probably Forgot

[@Warsie-Fan]

Yo Big Nerdy! Do the 'flip-side' to this, 10 movies that should've got a toyline but didn't.

[@Kelvin-cr2nf]

This is a really good idea. I grew up loving so many movies and wishing they had toys for them.

[@Onn325]

Please big nerdy we need this video

[@R3D_Lantern]

Love this idea.

[@bjpalm1994]

I was thinking the same thing, lol

[@milehigh96]

Starship Troopers and The Mummy (Brendan Fraser) for me

[@andrewtaylor940]

Trendmasters actually did some decent stuff back in the 90's. Look up their Kaiju stuff. They had a really good Godzilla line and even a Heisei era Gamera line that goes for insane money if you can find them. They had a fairly good and well liked Independence Day line. They also had a Mars Attacks line. And had a really hard to find Voltron line. They produced some really great figures and toys with lots of action features. But they had lousy license selection.

[@FriedSpicyChicken26]

I would buy those Little Nicky figures. Some Mcfarlane toys from back in the day really did age well. Just look at the new Overtkill from compared to Overtkill III from 2001

[@ghoststriker7]

I cannot believe they made toys for r rated movies. When i was a kid we had family friendly movies and toys like robocop and terminator 2

[@thewolfpacktoyreview]

Damn Last Action Hero & Demolition man figures, that takes me back.

[@D21BeastReviews]

If you’re looking for QT figures, Diamond Select Toys made Minimates of Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill. I believe Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill even received Select Figures.

[@keithquirk9823]

Just want to point out there already were toy lines of Reserviir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Bastards. Like you said earlier Todd Mcfarlane would do figures of just about any license. I recall buying the reservoir dogs figs back when they had released the Sun City ones as well. So that’s like 2005 or something like that

[@blackguyofthesouth2161]

About two weeks ago, I watched a video called movies you probably didnt know had action figures, which included alot of movies I'd never even heard of.

[@Giants1995]

A night at the Roxbury is the most underrated movie! I love that movie so much! Total guilty pleasure

[@Warsie-Fan]

I love it too!

[@bladestar2322]

I've only heard of 2 of these! Surprised Police Academy figures aren't here. Although those were more based on the Cartoon series.

[@electrosrahh]

i remember getting these as a kid from the KB toys

[@megagrey]

The very existence of that Flintstones movie still disturbs me.

[@Puka04]

Wow. Wild Wild West was one of my favorite movies as a kid! Had all the BK toys! And the sunglasses! I had no clue they sold toys in store for it. I would have wanted them had I known. I put that on bad marketing

[@jamesparker5861]

Neca did make figures for Pulp Fiction. I remember seeing them on clearance at Toys R Us a few years ago.

[@StormX6]

Do you mean the Diamond Select figures? Neca only made the Pulp Fiction minifigures

[@theinkslicer]

2:29 I think Mattel had the option to do the Jurassic park toys but skipped out on it because they thought last action hero would do better.

[@JerryGattz]

I am surprised Speed Racer didn't make the list. That isn't to say that isn't a brand undeserving of a Toy Line, but the movie flopped, the toy line flopped. Hell, I think at one point TRU was giving them away for free with the purchase of "x" amount of dollars. I still see some of them at bargain outlets.

[@BeardedComicBro]

I am shocked Congo didn’t make the list at all

[@Hilltopperpete]

The John Travolta figure appears to have 6 fingers on his right hand, which is why it looks so freakishly large. The left hand looks like 5 fingers. So weird.

[@corysantana6171]

A toyline for Demolition Man kind of makes sense; they probably thought it was going to be the next Robocop or Terminator 2

[@nikolugo]

I kind of wanted that Jim West action figure back in the day I remember going to Toys R Us hoping they had it but all they had was Kevin Kline's Artemis Gordon action figures

[@planetschlock]

The 1999 movie "Virus" also had a toyline. You know, Virus... it's the film that star Jamie Lee Curtis described as "unbelievably bad" and a "piece of shit".

[@rolandkatsuragi]

9:24 You must be unfamiliar with their Godzilla license, which helped collapse the company when they gambled everything on the 1998 version.

[@devoncrestway338]

the flintstones toyline was cool because the reason they looked so weird was because they were trying to make the movie characters in the style of the cartoon. It was fun, i thought. The kids who wanted the more accurate toys of the movie itself were probably more drawn to the bendable figures. they were fare more accurate in terms of proportions.

[@RandomSmellyBubble]

I love those last action hero toys. I tried to connect them all.

[@lonigangilbert1954]

What is wrong with Django Unchained besides the bad sculpting? A Hans Landa figure might freak people out worse.

[@hazeleduardo2354]

The last air bender, that movie had a toy line as bad as the movie itself. Just a bad adaptation for such a legendary animated series.

[@axel.1358]

I think it's the Indians Jones line from the Crystal Skill movie, saw those fingers everywhere all the time and I never cared and never saw anyone looking at them

[@rolandkatsuragi]

7:45 Maybe Kenner retooled parts like for Robin Hood?

[@MadCaddyStandard]

It really didn't matter about the movie being R-rated, I used to get the Robocop stuff and T2 toys as a kid back in the day, nobody cared back then, it was awesome!

[@aqdrobert]

Should have been detailed single characters aimed towards adult collectors. Taco Bell and Pizza Hut missed including Demolition Man figures in kids meals, for after the Franchise Wars, only these two restaurants survived.

[@benfromthebunker9621]

There is still a Demolition man figure and a wild wild west figure hanging in my local comic shop.

[@luisprgreeneyes]

I didn’t even know these toys existed.

[@pauld3694]

Just paused your video at 1:13. So, of the top of my head, I'll guess the Robin Hood: Prince of Theives toyline? With so many reused parts from other toy lines like having Frier Tuck's body being a Gamariain guards body, and, other lines like Robocop and Super Powers. I also remember seeing the commercials, and seeing that cool castle... which wasn't even a playset at all.

[@shawns1050]

Hot Toys never made a 1/6 scale figure for Starship Troopers. That’s a unlicensed company, bud

[@raymondchong1607]

Wish I bought the bulldog from Little Nicky. Would make a nice custom Lockjaw.

[@jamesbounds]

I remember in the 90's so many movies that you think wouldn't end up getting toys, they did. Glad you mentioned Last Action Hero because the first thing that came to mind when I saw the title for this video.

[@JurassicRod]

I'd add Virus to the list too. Even though I really enjoy the movie and the toys had some fun gimmicks.

[@mariotovar2173]

WaterWorld was so bad that I don’t want to watch the Waterworld show at Universal Studios Hollywood.

[@acterene1]

Yup, those be Ka Ka toy-- lines! Trendmaster attempted a toy line for the Lost In Space movie, with Gary Oldman. It was horrible, but not very memorable. They did a classic Jupiter 2 the 60's TV show. The Saucer was well do e shape wise. It had the Robot, Will and Dr Smith figures. Also a really bad squatty looking Shuttle. They really cut corners on the interior. I would give 2.5 out of 5.

[@rocketdude2969]

Honestly you should have put the batman as the number one movie toy line . Ive seen the over priced figures that no one wants . Even the McFarlane figures have dust on then . Coming up next is the Thor 4 line of cheap looking toys . The good toys have gone up to $35 to $40 for a 6 or 7 inch figure and even the garbage figures are to much . I hope the toy industry can survive this inflation.

[@Eunit6100]

I really remember Stargate movie figures sitting in stores forever!!

[@OneColdMonkey]

Is... Is Fat Thor doing the Gangnam Style dance in the bar back there?? 😂 And you've gotta look at the Battlefield Earth toys at a dutch angle, otherwise they're going to look wrong!

[@ryansargent661]

I was sure you were going to bring up the toyline from the first Avatar movie. Horrible likenesses, and weird articulation. The only saving grace was I could use the mech suit for my GI Joes.

[@Convoy00X]

You forgot to mention that the Demolition Man toys were made from the 1090's He-Man toys.

[@SmirkingRevenge]

Oh Man, I would love some NECA Starship Troopers figures! I was one of the few who actually had those Demolition Man figures. What can I say, I'm a sucker for Sci-Fi, and Snipes was so bad ass in that flick. I also remember having some of the Super Mario Action Figures from the movie. I'm actually kinda surprised they didn't make the cut, considering just how bad that movie was. Great list and a fun idea for a vid!

[@jamessaltzburg9549]

I was thinking willow - not even on the list. Great vid

[@joelklase9784]

Tradewings Toys’ Mission:Impossible figures from the late 90’s are easily the worst toyline from a blockbuster movie.

[@owendesrosiers]

Hey big nerdy! Sending prayers for the flood!! Once your back for KZbin you should do a movies that deserve a toy line!

[@misteranyway3392]

There was a line of toys for Mission: Impossible with multiple action figures of Ethan Hunt with different attires. Not very good.

[@JuanSaldana-mf1jh]

Make a list of movies that needed a main toyline: examples: alita battle angel, sucker punch etc

[@derrickcannon7025]

I was working in this pizza place like 3 years ago in LA and someone left a 15” Jack Slater NRFB in the store 😅 it’s been mine ever since

[@tombowling8646]

Cone Heads has to be the worst! My brother and I were at a comic shop in the White Marsh Mall, in Maryland. I bought a Medieval Witchblade figure. He bought a Beldar. I rightfully chastised him the entire week. Beldar was in his black uniform. The stand looked like the insignia on his uniform and actually said, "Beldar," on it. Like the pointed head wouldn't give his identity away.

[@Allthistomfoolery]

Watching Big Nerdy trying to get the rhythm was hilarious!

[@cobracommander9138]

I never knew about the Django Unchained toys. I definitely would have gotten some. Django Unchained is by far my favorite slave movie. I got the bluray!

[@elanlieberman5951]

I didn't even know they made a little Nicky toy line.

[@rolandkatsuragi]

5:06 What about Aliens, Predator, Teminator 2, or Robocop?

[@carlswicegood4519]

Resaurus 1999 action figure line for the Jamie Lee Curtis starring sci-fi action movie Virus. 12% Tomatomater score and nobody rembers it.

[@omega-rattrap]

Anyone remember DragonBall Evolution? You wish you didn’t? Sorry! But they actually had a toy line with a build a figure for the Oozaru (Goku’s giant ape form), and it looked nothing like the ape form that was in the movie! Probably because the design the toy was based on leaked online and it fans hated it so much they reshot the movie at the last minute.

[@New2Kendo]

I would love to see NECA pickup the Starship Troopers line

[@mindseyemelodies]

Trendmasters is history now, but they made toys for ID4, godzilla and lost in space etc, I have the awesome 2 foot tall rc lost in space robot.

[@forestthomer938]

Starship troopers toy line is amazing, bugs anyway... Literally just bought a warrior bug

[@buzzsawgr81]

I would love to get an ultimate jack slater from NECA. also reservoir dogs did get a figure line.

[@rolandkatsuragi]

I was totally unaware Little Nicky had a toyline 🤯

[@barbaramarkley488]

You should do pay or pass for DC McFarlane

[@KingRandor82]

X-Toys and Trendmasters were both big names of the late 90s, then disappeared. BTW criticizing R-movies for having toylines doesn't work if Arnold's 80s franchises get a free pass.

[@michaelwinters3778]

Holy crap until I watched this video I completely forgot I had the Flintstones figures ha

[@rushmore0811]

The Mission Impossible toy line for the first movie. Think they were KB exclusives.

[@cahillrebel]

I don’t see how Starship Troopers toys couldn’t sell because it’s R rated. Terminator, Predator, and Aliens all had toy lines for kids and seemed to do really well. I don’t see how you could say Starship Troopers couldn’t sell. Now the design for those human figures is awful lol

[@jamespaul6315]

Exactly, it could have sold. But they shit the bed on quality

[@jonathanhodapp8735]

LOL I had the bowling Fred Flintstone figure. Is it bad that I feel NECA would make bank on many of these.

[@maxhiddren3421]

Ummmm if they're gonna do Inglorious Basterd toyline then I hope there's a deluxe two pack with Hans Lands and Bridget Von Hammersmark. With alternative grip hands for Landa.

[@chasethespongeking395]

This was funny Though when I found out Scientology made toys I just couldn't anymore

[@daneecto_8412]

Dude love your energy and you make great material 👏 👌

[@adampayne1997]

I had the jack slater and demolition man toys when I was kid I was around 8 or 9 but I was that kid who had his dad buy him those.. big Stallone and for Schwarzenegger fan in my house growing up

[@hamsandwich6685]

I have a feeling that the Austin powers toys will end up on this list. I think they are cooler now, but as a kid about 20 years ago, there was no desire for cryogenicly frozen Austin powers, Dr evil or fat bastard.. Wish I would have gotten a fat bastard at least..

[@ftheman1108]

Dude I remember being a kid and going into mediaplay with my mom, picking out a little Nicky and being afraid they wouldn’t let me buy it haha damn haven’t thought about that memory or those toys in ages

[@RetroXRicardo]

You do, YOU. You owe us nothing, and we don't expect everything from you. Take the time to enjoy life, go stay in the present moment, and to be genuine in who you are and what you want

[@roclockdown3987]

My guesses are Demolition Man, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, and The Shadow

[@roclockdown3987]

Got 1 out of my 3

[@iguanajoe9329]

Last Action Hero was amazing for many of us that couldn't get a Terminator fig as kids. Waterworld though, was kind of obscure to have toys in my opinion, even as a kid. I had them.

[@вяитмии]

Haven't even finished watching the video yet but seeing that Wild Wild West figure in the thumbnail, l gotta say! If they made a giant mechanical spider figure l would've begged my parents for it as a kid! Besides it being a total flop that Will regretted doing l loved the movie as a kid! A hoity toity spiffy top hat wearing evil villain in a huge mechanical spider in the wild west seemed so steampunk to me!

[@cypherpunkreviews]

Omg I just picked up sleeping Nicky on free comic day!! Crazy timing Nerdy, also the dog is my new favorite action figure 😝

[@michaelmahoney4996]

I remember making my brother drive me to burger king to get the Wild wild west sunglasses! (Listening to crossroads) Do you remember those!?

[@ucitymetalhead]

Man I'd have bought those little nicky figures, i loved that movie.

[@JamesThames1987]

Not gonna lie I have almost all of the Waterworld figures. These are pretty awesome.

[@YogiWonKenobi78]

Watching this was almost like attending a funeral 💯

[@jokesover3433]

So glad you covered this.🤦🤣

[@exploredreamdiscover2591]

You crack me up! That’s a lovely accent you have there. New Jersey?

[@Grail640]

I am pretty sure that diamond select did pulp fiction figures and mezco made reservoir dogs figures. dont know of any company that made inglorious bastards tho

[@northernnomad5880]

Hey Matt 👋, cool video and nice rundown of old and unwanted figures.

[@RandomSmellyBubble]

Dude lil Nicky had figures? Wtf I need some

[@AutomaTom1939]

Great video! Even though I love the movies and toys, I would also put The Shadow and Dick Tracy on that list. Those movies bombed huge and the toys littered Kay Bee for a long time. Audiences in the '90s just weren't into the pulp hero revival...

[@zeroh2hero]

The ones you missed that should have been on the list are: Godzilla 1998 Virus 1999 Independence day 1996 Lost in space 1997

[@jamescottonjr9447]

I was hoping the Shadow would have made the list.

[@toeknee1505]

A very entertaining and fun video! Thanks Matt!

[@redzO9]

It’s not “Wild Wild West” it’s “Wicky wah wah wess”! GET IT RIGHT.

[@spdrwrtr]

They did make Reservoir Dogs figures

[@reiddutchess9955]

I would buy Starship Troopers today if NECA made them

[@ciscodeer9094]

I had the last action hero figure, which was Jack Slater. but man I was thinking two other toys line ID4 and Dragonheart

[@seya36]

The Austin Powers toys from Mcfarlane

[@MJBBo]

Well done!!!!! I love this video!!!!

[@saintjamesent.866]

I want the figure of the president from Independence Day. It looks nothing like the guy
