Line 9:
* The formula was copy-pasted for the ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'', which included "ooze" and featured humanoid creatures covered with garbage and insects.
* Similarly ''[[Swamp Thing]]''; both were kid-washed animated versions of violent comics. The latter succeeded only as a toyline, since only five episodes were made. ''Toxic Crusaders'', of ''The Toxic Avenger'' fame, got a slightly better deal with 13 episodes.
* ''[[Mighty Max]]'' was created as a toyline specifically to cash on that trend, although its animated version was toned down with a graphic style closer to ''[[Batman: theThe Animated Series]]''.
* ''Creepy Crawlers'' was also spawned from a toyline, this time without the stylish look upgrade for the cartoon.
* Initially, ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' cashed that cow too, with many of their adversaries looking like Otto Mann's acid dreams (Rita Repulsa probably took lessons from Rob Zombie himself).
* ''[[Goosebumps]]'' is not far from that.
* ''[[Tales Fromfrom the Crypt]]'' and its animated series were kind of the sophisticated version of that.
* The ''[[Mutant League]]'' games are a nice example; they even spawned a cartoon that lasted more than one season.
* The [[He-Man and Thethe Masters of Thethe Universe (Animation)|Masters of theUniverse]] villains, the Evil Horde, got an entire playset based around this concept, the Horde Slime Pit. A claw would reach up to ensnare an action hero, and then a dinosaur skull would open its jaw to drop the official "slime," a green semisolid that came in a canister, similar to the Ghostbusters product above.
