- Sometimes great movies get great merchandise to collect. Sometimes they don’t. And it SUCKS! Like why on EARTH did Ratatouille get high quality 6-inch Marvel Legends style figures yet Secret of Nimh got nothing?? Is there rules regarding which talking mouse movies get toys? Heck Ratatouille is barely even about talking mice and really just a solid romantic dramedy?? It didn’t need Action Figures AT ALL! sigh enough rambling just watch the video.

Secret of NIMH came out when I was six and I got one storybook with the characters and that was about it. A Mrs Brisby would be a wonderful thing.
Balto never got figures other than fast food toys. I have seen some 3D printed figures though.
While not a feature film, I really want a figure of Wildlfire , the horse from the Hanna Barbera series. I have found a very nice 3D sculpt that could be printed -if I had a 3D printer!
I hope jakks pacific does the license for Zootopia 2 figures.
Totally agree though bad guys needs figures & maybe funko pops.
Beastars (if you are into it) should have figures that are affordable and not just statues. The final season is coming out on December 5th too. I would love Legoshi or Melon figures articulated.
Kind of wished puss and boots last wish should have had figures and plushies. Especially death & jack horner.
@@LoyalKit Sadly a lot of anime just gets non articulated figures ☹️ It took My Hero Academia years to get 6 inch ML style figures when they should’ve launched with or shortly after the show premiered. (And still no Froppy figure! In 2024!)
Dreamworks Sinbad!
@@artoftaylortorres5105 Hasbro actually made a few dolls for the film. Oddly enough they were part of the GI Joe line-up!
I would LOVE some "The Brave Little Toaster" merchandise. I don't think figures would necessarily work but I think some nice quality Disney Store plushes or in a perfect world appliances that are shaped and look like the respective characters like a toaster that looks like Toaster or an electric blanket that looks like Blankey
@@thatgazelle2001 Another gem! Disney owns so many IP I think they have literally forgotten about that one. 😢
A line of action figures for Rock and Rule would be great, even a line of display figures would be nice.
At this point I'm honestly just considering looking for some used/decent base figures so I can make customs of the main characters
@@Bingle-Bongle101 They would be pretty easy customs to make. The outfits are very bright and colorful, and the animals noses would be relatively easy to add to any figure with a bit of clay.
It seems like the wild robot isn't getting any toys which is surprising & disappointing since most animated robot movies have gotten toys (iron giant,robots,wall-e,big hero 6 even ron's gone wrong got toys hell robot dreams got a toy too)
@@dannyfrisk9178 Even with it being a new IP (tougher sell) they likely would have sold decently because like you said, robot toys ALWAYS sell. Doesn’t even matter what the movie is, kids and collectors just love plastic robots. Dreamworks has had some weird licensing lately. Literally none of their movies have gotten any toys. Not even Kung Fu Panda, and those definitely would’ve sold. Oddly enough all the Illumination movies are getting merch. And they’re both Universal 🤔
Another animated movie I'd love to see get the action figure treatment is Ralph Bakshi's 1977 cult classic, Wizards. I'm amazed nobody attempted to make action figures of Peace (Necron 99) with his horse, Avatar the Good Wizard, Weehawk, Princess Eleanor, and Blackwolf just to name a few. I'd also really love to have sets of 1/12 scale action figures of The Last Unicorn and Starchaser: The Legend of Orin.
This one is a wild omission, it's a Gen X staple that had HUGE influence on everything animation and fantasy related. You'd think NECA, Super 7 or somebody would see the potential in a Wizards line of figures. (I'd buy them all....)
How cool would it be if there was a action figure line based on the movie, Starchasers?
@@michaelstethem739 It’s curious that Starchasers was never mined for merch. It’s got to be one of the last Gen X sci-fi films with zero collectibles.
Totally agree with you there is room for these ideas toy companies need to be more expressive sometimes 👍🏼👍🏼
the secret of nimh movie not only scared me, but stayed with me and ignited my interest in animation not just made for kids
If they ever did exist, It's in a alternate universe.
Did you know that Kellogs cereal did PVC figures of Rescue Rangers in 1991?
@@eelobrian6727 Yep I have a whole set! There’s two versions of Gadget too.
@austin_the_brimstone do you know if there was ever a Zipper figure?
@@eelobrian6727Funko/Super 7 did one as a pack-in with the 4” Dale figure. (Not the pop vinyl but actual articulated figure.) Unfortunately a pretty rare release.
I wish we could get some Heavy Metal merchandise or Rock N Rule merch too. I would pay for a Lady Amalthea barbie or a Moonster High skullector doll of her.
@@nathanforester5993 Oh MH dolls would be pretty slick. I can imagine them and they’d be perfect!
For me it’s always been Legend of Sleepy Hallow.
I’d have added Mr Toad there too, but I have managed to accumulate a nice little Toady collection thanks to him seemingly being more marketable thanks to the Disneyland ride.
But I’ve always wanted a nice Icabod Crane figure, even a PVC doesn’t exist… I know we just got the Funko pops but the Icabod just doesn’t do it for me, he’s far to expressive to be relegated to such simple silhouette.
I’d hoped Super7 were gonna get to it, since their line felt like it was made by someone that grew up in the 70s, with an empathise on the 40-50s content, but they lost the licence so...
@@legend_oflouis9813 I can’t believe there isn’t a Sleepy Hollow figure line simply based on the fact that:
a. It’s Disney
b. it’s Halloween.
Doesn’t even matter if the movie is obscure those two facts alone will print money. Anything Disney and vaguely Halloween is marketed at the parks these days. And you’re right Super 7 not only was focusing on classic Disney but even had a Halloween focus, making this omission all the more baffling.
(I bet it was planned had the Super 7 x Disney line continued.)
I wish Disney’s The Rescuers had action figures. 😞
@@goodsonicfan5016 We almost got them! Super 7 had a whole wave planned but they were canned after the DISASTER that was the Robin Hood figure.
@@austin_the_brimstone Exactly, I preordered them before it got canned! It still pisses me off to this very day! I hope Mattel could make them in the Disney Storytellers line.
@@goodsonicfan5016 There’s so much potential with that Storytellers lines. Unfortunately I think it may be in the way out (my local Walmarts have stopped stocking the line.) It’s wild that we don’t have a definitive line of Disney action figures. At least for the legacy films. We get some from NECA, then Super 7, Mattel. Heck McFarlane did a few decent waves of the Mirrorverse figures then even that line dropped off.
Actually there is official plush toys of “The Bad Guys” , I have the Miss Tarantula one
@@Malik-1994 Yep they were exclusive to claw machines in non US markets. Pretty tough to come by in the states.
I Wish Klonoa And Puyo Puyo Got Figures
@@AussieSonicKlonoaPersona2007 Those two are especially odd since Capcom and SEGA are known to made figure of their IP. I’m surprised those don’t exist. Didn’t Tetris/Puyo sell like a bajillion copies?
@@austin_the_brimstone I Know Right
Fantastic Mr. Fox is such a classic too, one of my favourites!! I didn’t know about the figures they did make, I always wanted a Kristofferson
If they exist, u kno there's a perfectly good size jar that they'll fit just fine ❤
Been dying for anything of Mrs. Brisby.
@@StilledFox I wish that plush was a bit better. Sadly it suffers from a lot of the issues that early plush toys had. (Stiff material and oddly skinny shape.)
You forgot one more movie that's worthy of a toy line, ''The Last Unicorn''
@@michaelquinones-lx6ks A Rankin Bass classic!
@@austin_the_brimstoneThank you very much for answering my comment, Also, With the advances in 3D printing and CAD (Computer Aided Design) Makes it possible to design your own action figures.
@@michaelquinones-lx6ks 3D printing is leading to some exciting stuff. I’d love to get one of those printers.
@@austin_the_brimstone You better save up all your money for it then its going to be pricey those 3D printers and the accessories that goes with them don't come cheap.
