Behold! [[Living Toys]]! They can walk! They can talk! They can cook! They can take out the trash! [[Dinky Drivers|They can drive!]] In fact, they can do so much, they almost don't need you!

 

 

{{smallcaps|Warning:}} This product may turn [[Demonic Dummy|evil]], or at the very least, creepy. [[Horror]] Movie characters and characters from horror movie parodies should avoid purchasing and/or using Living Toys. May contain small parts not suitable for children under 6. Requires 2 AA Batteries, magic talisman or evil curse. Cool accessories not included.

** 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 Invader|Papulatus]] [[Powered Armor|Clock]], a boss that 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. [[Bonus Boss|He's one of the strongest bosses in the game,]] and fairly sinister in his own right if you read his backstory.

* Several popular [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]] maps place the ''players'' in this position - it is very odd playing an FPS from an action figure's point of view.

* HAVE online is a Korean Online Multiplayer THIRD-person-shooter (not even class-based) that uses anime figurines ''or'' those figure-posing... figures that artists use to assist in drawing positions as the characters.

* The replicators in ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' started out as children's toys, but turned evil and took over an entire galaxy before attempting to get ours too.

* ''[[Night Gallery]]'' episode "The Doll". A British Army officer must deal with a murderous doll sent by an old enemy.

** Parodied in a ''[[Johnny Bravo]]'' episode where Johnny's neighbor Little Suzy acquires an evil doll named "Little Talky Tabitha".

** [[The Twilight Zone]] also did two episodes featuring evil ventriloquist's dummies, the first of which starred Bill Bixby.

* Quackerjack's main 'power' in ''[[Darkwing Duck]]'' was sending these out to commit crimes. Even his nonliving toys were dangerous--who considers an exploding panda a children's toy?

** Then there's the time [[Companion Cube|Mr. Banana-Brain]] got possessed by [[Monster Clown|Paddywhack]]
