Line 125:
* German game ''[[Pluesch Power Und Plunder]]'' is about living [[Everything's Better with Plushies|plushies]].
* The Mannekins from ''[[Changeling: The Lost]]'' are based around this, though it can be anything from a stuffed doll to a clockwork dancer and so on.
* The Madolche in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (Tabletop Game)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''. This was hinted at when the archetype was introduced - close inspection on the limbs of the Madolche artworks (particularly the Beasts, including the horse that Madolche Chouxvalier rides) shows what appear to be sewing seams, implying they are all plushies or dolls. The Trap Card [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Madolche_Nights Madolche Nights] eventually confirmed this, where they are shown as toys in a child's bedroom at night. In fact, the Japanese name for that card translates to "Magical Dolls".

Line 145 ⟶ 146:
* The ''[[Touhou Project]]'' has Medicine Melancholy, who (ironically enough, considering her name) controls poison. She's one of the [[Creepy Child|creepier]] characters in the series, playfully talking about how wonderful poison is, how it paralyzes its victims, how they die a painful death...
* One of the stages in ''[[Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan]] 2'' has the Ouendan helping a stuffed monkey and a toy soldier who were thrown away by accident get home.
* There's an area in ''[[Maple Story]]'' called Ludibrium that fits this trope to a T. It's a city built atop two towers that has a massive basement that includes a toy factory and a clock tower, the bottom of which might even be in another dimension. The monsters in either tower and in the factory are all toys, and within the clock tower there are two paths with different monsters. In general, the further you get from the town, the creepier the mobs get, something that is often true with ''Maple Story'' in general.
** The [[Meaningful Name|Warped Path of Time]] takes you through [[Monster Clown]]s, [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Ghost Pirates (and Vikings)]], and finally a giant boss called the Gatekeeper.
** On the other side, the [[Theme Naming|Forgotten Path of Time]], there are teddy bears possessed by their own souls, animated clocks with [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family]], teddy bears possessed by creepier ghosts, and ghosts chained to pocketwatches. And the boss of THAT side just happens to be [[Grim Reaper|Thanatos]].
** At the end of both paths is a great pavilion with an area only accessible by someone with a particular quest. This area has [[Alien InvaderInvasion|Papulatus]] [[Powered Armor|Clock]], athe boss[[Final Boss]] of Lubridium. thatHe looks like a [[Fluffy the Terrible|ghostly little blue thing with a curly sprout atop its head]] sitting in [[Humongous Mecha|a flying]] [[Time Machine]] designed like a toy clock with giant robot hands. [[BonusThat One Boss|He's one of the strongest bosses in the game,]] and fairly sinister in his own right if you read his backstory.
* ''[[Guardian's Crusade]]'' actually has Living Toys whom you can find and collect for use in battle. There's 70 of those bastards. [[100% Completion|Good luck.]]
* Namco's ''[[Toy Pop]]'': [[wikipedia:Toy Pop|PINO AND ACHA ARE GOING TO MAJYO'S CASTLE TO SAVE FRIEND]]
Line 156 ⟶ 157:
* In ''[[Harvest Moon]]: A Wonderful Life'' and ''Another Wonderful Life'', your child's stuffed bear will occasionally come alive when no one else is in the room.
* ''[[Re-Volt]]'''s [[Excuse Plot]] has you racing animated radio control cars.
* Stuffed Hewie in ''[[Haunting Ground]]'', a stuffed animal version of [[Canine Companion|Hewie]] that you can unlock by beating the game on Hard Mode. Stuffed Hewie is not as strong as regular Hewie, but cannot be harmed by enemies.

Line 230 ⟶ 232:
* ''[[Nicktoons Unite!|Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots]]'' (and humongous robots based on Nicktoon protagonists)
* Tonbetty, Mira's advisor in ''[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles]]: [[My Life As a Darklord]]'' is a small talking Tonberry plush.
* In ''[[Battletoads]]'' (2020 version), the heroes first encounter their old enemy the Dark Queen being held prisoner in an abandoned amusement park; she is trying to build toys like this to help her escape, but thus far, all of them have turned out bratty, “all about the holidays”, and in some cases, [[Too Much Information|anatomically correct.]] Given the [[Enemy Mine]] plot, the "evil" part is Downplayed a little, as the first two are still helpful towards the heroes so long as she is.
