Top 10 R-Rated Toylines For Kids | List Show #4

[@firefly44220]

My unsuspecting mother took me to see robocop upon release. She was shocked. She still talks about it and we love it. So of course I had to get the Kenner figure with the police car and dole out some street justice against GI Joe

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

I like this story.

[@Biggjuggs333]

Ronimus Prime your mom is a legend. Lol SAME exact story I took my 7 year old son to see Borat. OOOOOOPS

[@MAMoreno]

I'm quite fond of Kenner's Aliens and Predator lines, but I wasn't so impressed when they shot for an older market with the Alien: Resurrection run. If I'm going to steal a Winona Ryder figure from my local mall, I want it to be a better likeness.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

You deserve better for your efforts, of course.

[@russellj.s.257]

Wait a minute, Conan the Barbarian was rated R in 1982, spawned a sequel in 1984 that was PG and in 1992 the kids cartoon Conan the Adventurer came out and then it also had an action figure line for kids as well

[@DUARTE99]

Michael Ironsides rules. Even in V!

[@maninhades]

Indeed...Even in V

[@knicksprop]

Omg ESPECIALLY in V!

[@robertmckinnon7003]

Why do we pretend that kids weren't watching these movies?

[@mattblackledge2625]

The locker room from Robocop was the only nude spot in the movie.

[@brandonpage7087]

My parents regularly showed me R-Rated movies. By the time I was 12, I was an R movie veteran.

My father took me to the opening of Alien, I was only 4 years old at the time. Then he purchased the Kenner 1979 Alien figure for me at Toy Biz. It was my teddy bear, however my grandmother thought the toy was grotesque and shook hear head whenever she saw me with it in tow. I am not sure exactly what happened to it, but I did acquire another one second hand thanks to e-bay. The movie had a profound impact on me as well as the art of H.R. Giger. Years later when Aliens premiered, My father and I went to the theaters to go see the movie, it was a fun experience. I distinctly remember the audience laughing at all the one liners and cheering when Sigourney Weaver appeared in the power loader during the final show down with the queen alien uttering the now famous "get away from her you bitch!" line. Good times.

[@Jellyvibe]

Another R-rated property that (eventually) had a toy line was Swamp Thing. The toys were a tie-in with the early 90's cartoon, which was based, in part, on R and PG-13 rated movies (Swamp Thing, Return of Swamp Thing, respectively) and the comic, which at the time carried a "mature readers" warning. The More You Know 🌠

[@Nevermore414]

Both swamp things were PG-13

[@brandonpage7087]

Thumbs up to anyone who not only remember the Swamp Thing cartoon & action figures, but the NBC "the more you know" PSA's as well!! My generation was raised on them!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@findantu]

Toxic avenger

[@RedRanger2001]

The first Swamp Thing is PG. The sequel is PG-13, though...

[@victorcavazos5012]

My dad took me to see all those when I was little got me the toys for bdays and Christmas because they were "badass like the movie" lol Movie ratings were more of a vague suggestion when I was little haha

[@victorcavazos5012]

I had so many terminator, alien, predator and starship troopers toys it was ridiculous!

[@mccoy1369]

I love your little Kenner flash every time you say Kenner... I scan through the comments to see if anyone else had mentioned it but I didn't see any, so if you did mention it I'm glad someone else caught it cuz that was nice.

[@jerrodbronson4044]

I’ve discussed this with friends for YEARS! Even as a kid I thought, “ Why the hell did they make ( MOST OF THESE MOVIES) as cartoons / toys?!” Also, we ALL love Michael Ironside.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

The 80s were weird, man.

[@MrKMPT]

I was a kid who saw the films, some of my favorite memories of my dad, and he bought me the toys.

[@Fyrmer]

"I'd buy that for a dollar!"

[@grotezakhooi]

waited for my parents to sleep back then , then sneak downstairs open the door to the living room very slow and quiet XD then put on tv with almost no sound and go watch Rambo , Terminator and yes Star Wars ...

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Clever.

[@gigashock237wilde7]

Watched the movies and never got the toys. Only recently got a few Neca figures and the bull-alien from a secondhand toy store. Happy to have them.

[@eddiesmullet2352]

I remember being told several times through all of these movies to "cover my eyes". Lol had a bunch of the toys too!

[@brandonpage7087]

Lol, my parents would tell me that, too!

Robocop trip to the bank: Step 1: find unsuspecting parent Step 2: watch just enough to plant the seed that this movie is gonna be great. Step 3: stop said awesomeness when ED-209 greases the unsuspecting junior exec into a squib-addled mess Step 4: Wait a year for ABC to put it on TV. Step 5: Launch toy line Step 6: Profit.

[@jfridy]

Robocop's original cut actually was going to get an X rating for violence. Here's the crazy part, the R rated cut now can be run on a cable channel with almost no censorship of images, just the language.

[@texasbeast239]

I saw that original cut. It was gruesome, and intense. But it also served to make you really hate the baddies that much more.

[@HamsterK37]

I had almost everything from the Rambo storyline. All bought by my parents when I was a kid. I never became obsessed with guns. I did enlist and owned guns eventually. I also had the Schwarzenegger Commando figure. It actually is on my shelf still now.

[@Ripplin]

I still remember looking through the Sears Wish Book or something, seeing Rambo toys, and thinking 'that's an R-rated movie! Why would they make toys for it?!' I would've been around 9 at the time. :p

[@pawned79]

As a kid in the 80s, the Robocop side-scrolling arcade game was in my bowling alley. I might have seen a TV-edit of it sometime, but I didn’t watch Robocop in all its glory until I was in college in the very late 90s. Such a good movie! Edit: I saw Robocop 2 in the theater! I just remembered that! What the hell? Also, Robocop 3 was always on Showtime in the 90s, but that movie sucks.

[@exodous02]

I had a lot of the Alien and Predator figures, and yes, I saw them at a very young age. Also loved Terminator 2 but never knew there were toys. . .

[@krKrause9]

R rated movies WERE my childhood LOL. Robocop was the first and I watched it with my mom when I was 8. I was more fascinated by movie magic and BTS special fx so she made sure I knew it was fantasy, but the way I had most of these figures especially Aliens and Predator. Also glow-in-the-dark Robocop with a gatling gun arm. You can't get better than that.

[@northumbriabushcraft1208]

I saw most of these violent 80's movies when i was 12-14, and i loved them.

[@sethritchie4032]

Fuuuuck I miss 90's toys!! Have all those lines you mentioned save for Rambo, and Police Academy, you earned a new sub on this day bandy-ran!

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Thanks! Glad to have you aboard!

[@jonathandye5923]

I owned both aliens action figures and a bug alien from starship troopers as a kid. My parents totally let me and my brothers watch both of theses movies when we where children.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

I distinctly watching Predator with my mom and thinking "maybe this was a bad idea."

[@Renegade666]

I was allowed to watch 15 and 18 rated films as a kid (in in the UK) as long as there wasnt any nudity or sex in it, which naturally led to basically being allowed to watch all the great action/scifi classics. I had a few of the Alien figures including the flying queen, king alien, and the power loader (which looked nothing like the one from the film sadly) a few mates had the terminator figures where you cooked a batch of skin and moulded it to his endoskeleton and proceeded to peel it off. Fun Times!

[@wodzislaw]

These top lists are too good, man! Too good!

[@johnkimball9716]

A redo of this list with more pictures of the toys would be siiiiick!

[@wildevil]

[@thelonebricker662]

The only one I had as a kid was Robocop (also got his autograph at a car show!!!), but thanks for letting me know about all these action figures I now want to add to my collection. My wife will be thrilled.

Dan, Love watching your videos. Always informative! Keep up the amazing work.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Will do, thanks for watching!

[@acejohnson482]

Went to see Starship Troopers with my Dad and Uncle....Went into the theater quickly to get seats. There were about 60 kids running around. We asked people in the theater what movie this was. Found out it was a showing of the Robin William's recreation of Flubber....needless to say we left that showing to find the correct showing....🤣😂🤣😂 We still talk about this til this day.

[@lindinle]

i like flubber. mainly because its robin and i miss him.

[@mikelynch2353]

I was in college when the ALIENS figures hit the shelves. I'm a die-hard ALIENS fan (have been since I first saw ALIEN in 1983 on VHS) and was still riding the post-ALIEN 3 wave when the figures came out, so they were collector's gold for me... and I soaked them up. I bought every figure, vehicle, play set, and even sought out the European packaged figures. I even started a write-in campaign via web page to Kay-Bee Toys and Toys R Us to support the production of the ALIENS Hive Wars line once i found out neither toy seller backed Kenner's ALIEN/Predator mash up line due to lack of interest. The line was eventually produced, and again - I soaked it up. I wasn't a huge fan of the Predator figures - I like the films, but not enough to dive into the toy line. The ALIENS toy line even had a tie-in cartoon planned (Operation: ALIENS), but it never made it passed the planning/test stage. Could you please do a "History of the ALIENS toy line?" It really is an interesting story on how a franchise that didn't have a toy tie-in since 1979 managed to have an extensive one from 1992 to 1995 an included toys by Kenner, Galoob, puzzles, lunch boxes, board games, bubble bath, wrist watches, comics, trading cards (there were series as part of the ALIENS/Predator Universe trading cards produced by Topps in 1995), and more... It literally was "everything but the cartoon." It would make a great addition to your catalog of videos! Please, please consider it.

[@tylerbrunton7696]

I had the Robocop featured in the video, and still have the T-800 endoskeleton. Robo was a birthday present from Sarah in my class, haha. Good times.

[@tyr0n313]

I had the T2 terminator with the robot arm cannon and one of the robocops that flew. I’m pretty sure I only saw the “edited for tv” versions of each movie as a kid and loved them. As a transformers fan, anything that was robot or android or somewhere in between always had my interest.

[@themadmattster9647]

great video. My dad took Toxic Avenger BACK to the video store when we tried to watch the bicycle scene. Crazy times

[@benadrylthundercrotch7144]

Those toxic avenger figs were actually really rad, I'm pretty sure I had the whole set

[@richardscott6793]

The Rambo line was good , the figures came with lots of accessories and the savage strike cycle was cool.

[@brycevo]

Kenner just loves inappropriate toys

[@black2much]

Outta all the brands named, starship troopers is the line I would buy again.

[@BonecrusherT800]

You should do episodes on the Alien, Predator, RoboCop and Terminator lines if you haven't already or if they're already in the works. Starship Troopers and The Toxic Avenger would be good episodes, too. It's awesome how back in the day ultra-violent movies like these could get toylines and animated series aimed at kids. Makes me all the more grateful to have been born in the 80s and had my childhood in the 90s.

[@medes5597]

I had those Toxic Avenger figures as a teenager (got every figure and 90% of the accessories in a clear bag from a car boot sale). It kills me to see how much they're going for in some places.

[@razrentals8897]

That Terminator line was awesome!

[@sethritchie4032]

Kenner was doing it big in the 90s!! Those 3 terminator figures you showed.. Ya I have all 3.. Plus sooooo much more lol Holy shit! The Toxic Avenger!!! I remember one Xmas eve I had a real bad ear ache.. And my Mom was singing me sana sana.. It's a Mexican thing lol and let me open one gift early.. It was Toxxie! It's crazy whenever I see that figure I equate it to my mother soothing and comforting me and Christmas as a kid. I'm not crying right now.. Lol

[@Tayfrog]

Oh man! I had so many of these!!! Rambo, Robocop, Toxic Crusaders, Aliens, Predator and Terminator 2. I wonder why Kenner didn't make Total Recall? We could have gotten a Michael Ironside Action figure!

[@tonepotproductions5825]

I had one of the mid nineties predator figures. I had seen the movie (saw alot of movies young with my dad) but got it from a grandparent that had no idea what it was, or what I liked. It was a cool addition to collection 1.0

[@boeingnz]

Toy Island had the license for Robocop toys before Kenner. Also Predators toys were marketed as Aliens VS Predators which either the aliens or AVP cartoon didn't get release.

[@medes5597]

boeingnz weren't they based on the Frank Miller comic and game that came out at the same time as the figures? I always assumed that anyway.

[@johnnyfavorite1194]

boeingnz Just checked and Toy Island’s Robocop figures are from 1993 vs. Kenner’s 1989 line.

[@ratbatnufftime2861]

I had Turbo from Rambo and the force of freedom and Night Glow Robocop with the car

[@ramrunnergarage5941]

I had the glow in the dark Robocop too, remember one of his arms was a canon.

[@Dargonhuman]

I found a Robocop dress up helmet and arm cannon (from the third movie) from a thrift store years ago that I was going to use as a basis for a Borg costume that I never got around to finishing.

[@brycevo]

I love so many of these toys. I had a few of most of them(second hand)

[@LowellLucasJr.]

A+ to u for taking a stab at TNT! They deserve it! As for my rated R toy collection...yep saw all those movies n got a huge collection of Aliens, Predator, Terminator, Robocop....CONAN,,,,etc. my folks got them for me and exposed me to the movies because I'm an artistic guy and love of drawing. Thanks to them, i am. currently doing artwork at conventions of aliens, predator Terminator, Conan, etc.... so thank you awesome parents!!

[@bigdoublej74]

I had the Robocop. You put caps in the back and fired them off. It was fun

[@alastair852]

Predator 2 may have come out in 1990, but Alien vs. Predator comics were being published at the time, and a year earlier Alien vs Predator for Super Nintendo had come out, from which several bosses were made into toys.

[@TheJorssk]

Definetly watchet all those movies as a kid - with my mother. She even took me to the cinema on Starship Troopers and read subtitles for me, because I am from Czech :D. Those are franchieses that I grow up :).

[@morgancalabrese2907]

I watched all of them as a kid. Loved those movies. Still do it's just that back then they were new and I had a really good imagination.

[@ShockUzer]

I saw Starship Troopers as a kid, and my parents knew: it was my father the one who showed it to me. It haunted me as a kid, but now, I love the film.

[@Convoy00X]

I missed out on most of those movies, but I did nave some of the Aliens toys. Also my dad took me to see Starship Troopers, but I was in my mid teens by then.

[@joaomotta9652]

When i was a kid, i had dinner watching action movies with my dad on the living room, i remember watching alien vs predator with him, my mother was shocked because of the violence, but me and my dad were like "scar,beat the crap out ot that god damn alien".I was like, 5 or 6 years old.

[@BeeTeeGee]

My brother had the entire run of Kenner's Aliens line. Seriously, he had every single one of them that was released here in the UK including the 3 Marine figures that didn't see a release in America. The only thing he never had was the Queen Hive playset as it was never released here.

[@beatlesfancoleman]

Brought back a ton of memories. I had most of those on your list.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

+Tyson Coleman Movie rating aside... there's definitely some figures there.

[@ArcheryDad2024]

Had Rambo, Robocop & Commando figures. Aw, the good ol' days

[@megagrey]

I had that first Terminator 2 line, and I still even have that T-800 endoskeleton. And oh yes, my father took me to see it IN THE THEATRE when I was NINE.

[@Abhothra]

I have Toxie from the Toxic Avengers although I saw the cartoon before the actual movie. Do need those Police Acadamy toys though.

[@squirmingcoil7889]

As long as the R rating was in the form of graphic violence it was a go! I saw Hellraiser 2 in the theater on my 10th Bday! Being an 80's kid was the best

[@scottandrewhutchins]

"We're Toxic Crusaders. Of that we're pretty sure of."

[@brandonpage7087]

I still want that entire action figure line, till this very day!! As a kid, I only had Toxie.

[@brandonpage7087]

Anybody remember the Toxic Crusaders NES game?

[@jordel2010]

I got Rambo and Robocop back in the day, and yes, my folks let me watch those films... In spite of all the violence, I turned out fine. The Rambo figure was quite movie-accurate in regards to details and accessories by 1980s standards, pre-dating Hot Toys by more than a decade.

[@RolandsKaTet]

I used to watch Judge Dredd on VHS with one of my brothers and I can remember seeing the display of figures at the front of KB one trip. I wanted the motorcycle set, but got the ABS Warrior instead, which I still have, and eventually bought the cycle one too.

[@graemehutton2433]

Terminator 2 was my fave film when I was about 9, had a few toys- terminator robot with light up eyes (via headholes), exploding cop terminator and 1 Arnie with exchangeable arms and one whose body split in two to reveal a cannon ! U had a Robocop too but I think because of the cartoon.

[@roqueadeleon]

Was just thinking about this the other day. I had the alien -kenner toys when I was a kid, i had never even seen alien at the time. Also kind of related but Mortal Kombat had a kids cartoon show - that always struck me as odd 😂

[@beano332288]

I had Alien, Predator, Toxic Avengers, and Terminator figures. I even had a Independence Day alien figure all years before seeing the movies.

[@robcohen7678]

Anyone remember the Robocop toys that you could put cap gun caps into, and like pull their arm to make a shooting sound? At least I think thats what they did. I also had this really sweet Rambo semi auto rifle dart gun. It had like a rotary clip of darts and was pretty powerful. I remember the action that turn the rotary clip broke and I had to rotate it by hand.

[@HossTheSlop]

I had the Rambo with the sleeveless hoodie. He came with an assortment of the BIGGEST GUNS KNOWN TO MAN.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Big guns for big hands.

[@townside_woodcraft]

Our local video store would only get one copy of a movie for rent, maybe two copies if it was a huge movie. When something really cool was released you would have to call the store and get your name on a list to rent the movie lol. At the age of 12/13 I clearly remember renting R rated movies with there being no issue at all from the video store , I think once did the lady behind the counter say something like "does your parents know your renting this?" , to which I would have replied "yes mama".

[@milesgerschefske6231]

Remember when I said "I'd sell you a toyline, based on my rated r likeness, last"? I lied

[@cedrictripp2189]

I beg to differ when it comes to the T2 toys, I was a kid back then and those toys were everywhere.

[@robertallen2109]

I loved my Aliens and Predator action figures. Once Jurassic Park and Star Wars entered the mix, the fights were quite epic! I wasn't allowed to see the movies, but I would hunt down their vhs boxes at video stores to see the creatures. Finally got around to Aliens when I was 13 and quickly watched all of them. Still a fan!

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

I wasn't necessarily NOT allowed to watch them (I don't know that I ever really wanted to, I don't remember) but I didn't see Alien until I was a Freshman in college.

[@robertallen2109]

My parents were pretty strict about content, however, I was allowed to read anything. That led me to Stephen King at an early age and learning about things I really wasn't ready for haha.

[@UltraDonny5000]

I definitely saw all of those movies as a child and owned at least 1 toy from most of them. Now I kinda want to track down a Commando action figure.

[@scruffynerd84]

Michael Ironside was the voice of Darkseid in the superman animated series so children love him. also Terminator Salvation also had toyline aimed at kids and that was in 2009.

[@valiantparagonvideos2383]

I actually did have the RoboCop toy as a kid. They came with this caps that you could use to act like you were shooting the gun, but they scared me and my parents didn't like them so they tossed them in teh fireplace where they all went off at once. Played with that figure for years. Lost his helmet though.

[@Saru5000]

My (and my friends') parents were fairly unconcerned about what we watched. We saw Porky's when we were around 10. And I watched teen sex comedy Hamburger the Motion Picture on the Super Channel (a Canadian movie cable movie channel in the 80s) with my grandmother around the same time; it was a bit awkward. Their only reservation was horror movies because I'd get nightmares and keep them up.

[@808v1]

I liked the CG serialized show of Starship Troopers...I was finally able to torrent a complete copy of it recently.

[@TheStriderSyd]

You forgot Robocop's 2nd animated series and toy line: "Robocop: Alpha Commando" No relation to Arnold's "Commando" but now that I think about it....... that be one heckuva crossover cartoon and maybe toy line. And I love Michael Ironside too.

[@travisa7669]

Between the ages of 9-12 I saw ROBOCOP, PREDATOR, RAMBO II and the unrated version of TOXIC AVENGER along with the original POLICE ACADEMY. With the exception of Toxie, I saw them all in their original theatrical release. I think my parents hated me or something.

[@ajzeg01]

What about Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm?

[@james-mullen]

I had some super sick Predators!!! (Damn i miss those....)

[@PredatorCollectibles]

I love how most of the other comments on here definitely had the Kenner Predator line. I remember the commercial as though it just aired yesterday. Regarding how you can send in the UPC and get the mail in Cloaked Predator. I still have mine and it was because of Dark Horse that I even collected Kenner after 26 years still collecting Predator with no plans of stopping.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

I'm shocked that the NECA Predator line is STILL going strong. I never realized the fanbase was that tuned in.

[@PredatorCollectibles]

Would you believe it that as of me typing this that NECA has produced almost if not over 100 different Predator figures and still counting? That is where all the money is going when it comes to NECA's revenue stream and I personally LOVE IT!! Let us keep that Predator support going!

[@angusrumplemeyer1791]

I remember when Nightmare on Elm Street was marketed towards kids. I still have my rubber Freddy Krueger head that doubles as a squirt gun and my Freddy Krueger yo-yo from back when I was a kid.

[@nerdfatha]

I had 3 figs from the Aliens line. Bishop, who they made look as far from Lance Heinrikson as possible , and whose special feature was him being torn to pieces. I also had the big Cobra looking Alien and the Gorilla Alien which, if i recall correctly, has a rubber squeezy head that you could fill with water and make him spit at ...well..anything.

[@tres6198]

.I actually DID have that 8 inch Commando figure but not sure if it was a gas station or Lionel Playworld we got it from.By the way love the channel keep up the good work!

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Lionel Playworld. I miss places like that. Gas stations are still pretty much the same. Thanks for watching.

[@maxcovfefe]

My first rated R movie was Carrie. I was 6. One bad dad decision scarred me for life. If they made Carrie toys, I didn't notice. I was too busy worrying about hands coming out of the ground to grab me.

[@JB-tq1sl]

Never got to see in the movie theaters but I do have all the counter line Predators RoboCop Terminator and Rambo I believe one of the best films that were ever made thank you buddy keep on showing the comments videos

[@MrWalksindarkness]

i had a t800 figure from t2, i loved it, it was bad ass, none of my other toys could stand up to it in battle, i remember when i bought it a friend of my mom was like, "why are you supporting that violent movie?" I was a kid and the robot was a cool figure, i don't even know if i had seen the movie at that point

[@lindinle]

i had a starship trooper toy. even saw the movie as a kid. still find the mixed shower just bizzare.

[@csgunnarsson]

I had the Galoob starship troopers! That had magnetic bits on them 😂

[@williamkelly216]

Of all those, i only saw the Aliens and Predator movies as a kid. My favorite toyline right after TMNT.

[@Ripplin]

I saw Game of Thrones toys at a dollar store the other day, so...yeah, still happening.

[@username82765]

I love ironicly collecting these kind of figures.

[@vincentfranklin17]

I was twenty when the Rambo cartoon appeared. I was shocked! A RAMBO CARTOON!!!?? How in the world did this happen?

[@ryanbwags]

The Rambo toys were awesome.
