    Movies that should have had toys

    I was looking at the trailer for land of the lost, and thinking that if austin powers had a line why not this film? and it got me to thinking about what other movies never had a licence that should have or had one that was done badly.

    The biggest one to my mind was league of extrodinary gentlemen, that was crying out for a line of figuresand vehicles, the third mummy movie and the last two underworld movies aswell given how cool the firat movie figures were so cool.

    what ones can you guys come up with

        I imagine all the ones you mentioned were shopped around, but there was no interest. Maybe the toy companies saw they were mostly stink burgers and passed on them. There are a lot of bombs that did get toys, too. The POTA remake is the biggest one that comes to mind, I still see those around.

            The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai (Across The 8th Dimension).

            What a setup for figures: Buckaroo, New Jersey, Perfect Tommy, Reno, Rawhide, Penny Priddy, Emilio Lizardo, Lectroids...man there was enough there for two series! Not to mention the vehicles: the Jet Car, the Tour Bus, Helicopter,the Lectroid ships. A Hong Kong Cavaliers Rockin' Stage playset, The Bunkhouse. This movie was made for a toyline!

            I can't believe somebody hasn't attempted this, I'm sure it would still sell. I think officially all that ever got released from the film were a few Marvel Comics, a viewmaster reel set, and the paperback.

            A Mego-like set would be appreciated, if anyone's listening!!

              Funny, I actually just got this on DVD a few months ago and watched it again. While I doubt there would be enough interest to justify a toy line, it is a pretty cool sci-fi movie, with a bunch of well known actors in it.
              It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                BB is my favorite movie in the world. I would have been all over a toy line for it. Was hoping LJN would take a shot at it back in the day.

                There was a jet car toy that involved a circular track and a mountain. It was kind of small and the truck went around the track and gave the illusion of passing thru the mountain. But that is about it for toy collectables for this movie.

                There is a pretty solid cult following and if anyone ever did try to license a toy, they would certainly sell some.

                    Top Gun ( 3.75" or 5" Figures and accessories )

                    Underworld ( Mego like would be great, but anything is better than what we got )

                    Spaceballs ( 5" Figures )
