* ''[[Toy Soldiers (Video Game)|Toy Soldiers]]'', an Xbox Strategy game, focuses on two sides of a [[WW 1]] tin soldier toy set, Germans vs. the British/French, who carry out large, full scale battles inside a diorama which stands on a small table (just to give the audience an idea of the proportions). The player's main goal is to defend his "toy box" (literally) against the infantry, cavalry, tanks, and biplanes of the foe, using their own tanks, cannons, machine guns, AA-guns, howitzers, and aeroplanes, while (only in Multiplayer) trying to take over the foe's toy box by sending their own soldiers. Great idea and great theme. The player will surely enjoy the ''toffee apples'' flying around, while having a ''pozzy on japan'', with some nice ''gunfire''.

In ''Melee'', they're figures in a collector's trophy case. In ''Brawl'', they're trophies in an [[Alternate Universe]] in which all Nintendo characters (plus [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[Metal Gear|Solid Snake]]) live side by side.
