* Frigitta from ''[[Kero Kero Chime]]'' appears to be a Living Toy, despite her denial of it in her first appearance. Additionally, in this appearance, she's a villainess who turns people into toys which she can make follow her orders. After this, though, she's just a minor recurring [[Stalker With a Crush]] who's generally on the side of the heroes as much as her minor role allows.

* In ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni]],'' Sakutarou is a variation off this. After Maria places a soul in him, he can talk with her and play with her, although he no longer looks like a stuffed animal to her. Instead, he looks like a little, half-human, half-animal boy. However, no one else can see him talk, etc. If he talks to Maria, anyone else sees it as Maria speaking in a funny voice, and he always looks like a stuffed animal to them.

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''.
