Line 53:
* ''[[Jingle All the Way]]'' is a black comedy take on this trope, where two dads compete to get the last action figure of their sons' favorite superhero for Christmas. It gets to the point where they have a public fistfight in the climax dressed as said hero and villain respectively.
* ''[[Spy Kids]]'' references this in a disturbing fashion; Floop {{spoiler|(actually Minion)}} turns captured OSS agents into the Fooglies for his show, and then merchandises them as toys. Juni even owns a few, which he takes with him on the mission. To intimidate Gregorio, Floop uses his technology to turn Felix into a Fooglie, and says he can't wait to put his toys on the Christmas market.
* The ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' franchise features this
** At Andy's birthday party in the first movie, he is gifted Buzz Lightyear-themed merchandise before his mother reveals Buzz as a surprise present. Buzz is apparently the hottest new toy of the year, much to Woody's chagrin.
** Pizza Planet offers [[Little Green Man]] plushies as prizes within a crane game. While most kids would collect them for the novelty, Sid wins one to offer his dog Scud a new toy. He battles the crane game -- and Woody unknowingly-- on seeing that "Buzz Lightyear" is in there as a bonus prize.
Line 63:
* [[Spider-Verse]]:
** ''[[Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse]]'': When Gwen barges into Miles's room, she notices that he has toys that she collected as a kid. Miles tries to explain that they are collectibles, and winces when she opens the box.
* ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]'': The franchise shows that Po maintains upkeep of his Furious Five action figures, playing with them in the bathtub when he is stressed. He's mortified when Master Ping backs them for the battle with Shen, but whispers for his dad to be careful with Tigress since she's handcrafted. As a [[Running Gag]], Mantis is the exact size of Po's figure, something that comes in handy during the first confrontation with Lord Shen. {{spoiler|The third movie has him give the Tigress figure to a panda child when she asks politely, and she promises to take care of the toy.}}
