Line 75:
** Despite showing up in the first special in 1980, Plum Puddin' didn't get a toy until 1984, by which time he had become a she ([[Word of God|According to Hasbro]], this is because dolls of [[The One Guy|Huckleberry Pie]] didn't sell very well).
* [[The Eighties|The 80's]] ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe|Masters of the Universe]]'' cartoon had a few characters who were introduced apparently to promote new action figures, but said figures never materialised - Strongarm and Lizardman for instance. The Sorceress and King Randor didn't receive action figures until the final wave despite being major characters in the cartoon.
** And there were some obviously not introduced to promote new figures, and did not get any, such as Queen Marlena. Count Marzo didn't receive a toy until the ''Masters of the Universe Classic'' line despite appearing in both the original series and the 2002 reboot. Evilseed has it even worse, having shown up in the original and the 2002 reboot but still not having a toy. 2002 ''was'' pretty bad at this, though; Clawful, one of Skeletor's main henchmen, never got a toy in that line, either.
* The original ''[[Transformers Generation 1]]'' cartoon had a bunch of characters who'd fit the bill:
** "The Search For Alpha Trion" was a second season episode that introduced Optimus Prime's mentor, Alpha Trion, and girlfriend, Elita One, both recurring characters without toys. Also worth mention from this episode are Firestar, Moonracer and Chromia, all three ''named'' fembots that take the spotlight for at least part of the episode.
