R Rated Movie Toys For Kids! - Toysplosion

- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- Welcome to Toysplosion - the show all about the hobby of toy collecting and getting nostalgic about toy history!
According to the MPAA, the Restircted, or "R" rating means that the rated film includes adult material not suitable for viewers under the age of 17. Even though these movies aren't made for kids, that doesn't stop the toy companies from making toys! Let's check out a few of these toy lines today on Toysplosion!

Thanks so much for the feedback, everyone! Just so you know, the plan is to revisit this topic in future episodes. There were so many toys that fit this category that I could talk about. So if there is a certain toyline you feel is missing *cough*RoboCop*cough*, fear not! I'll get to it in time! ;-) Thanks so much for watching!!!
I was just going to post that you should do another one and include RoboCop, LOL.
I guess I'm psychic.
Great video, Dan!
You forgot the Robocop line from Kenner! Also I vaguely remember a Freddy doll from the late 80s or early 90s.
Rambo got a cartoon and toyline
Loved your video, Starship Troopers could be a fun toyline to feature at one point!
+Pixel Dan Actually, only the first Police Academy movie was rated R. The other 5 were rated PG13 and PG.
It was the existence of toylines for these movies that convinced my parents to let me watch them when I was a child. I'd tell my parents that the movie must be ok for kids or they wouldn't make toys for it.
You sly dog! XD Brilliant
Ha! Same!
Dat logic doe
100th like
@@norgepalm7315 Do u even know what autism means? My dad has autism and doesn't play with toys ever since he's turned into a grown man.... (Obviously as a child\teen he played with toys).... Go learn what autism actually means, plz....
I had the Techno-Punch terminator, he was my Ninja Turtle's Boxing coach, I would do Arnold's voice "Michalangelo! You are too flabby from eating too many pizzas! It's time to pump you up!"
That's amazing!
hajahahaha I just imagined how hillarious must that have been
I remember there being all kinds of controversy about WWE wrestling figures in the late 90s because the product was adult-oriented but still “geared to kids.” Meanwhile, they sold South Park, Robocop, Police Academy, Mortal Kombat and Terminator figures which were apparently just fine.
Yeah but much like Police Academy, Mortal Kombat's base platform was rated M but it's movies, tv shows, and spin-offs were aimed at younger audiences.
Like that Al Snow figure that came with Head? Haha.
Robocop toys were based on cartoon series. (There was even a PG-caliber Robocop TV series.)
@@dreamlandnightmare
They're all still part of the same "marketing to kids" issue.
R rated movie gets - lunchboxes, games, comics, cartoons, spin-offs all aimed at kids plus toy tie-ins
Guys, I know there was PG Mortal Kombat stuff and Robocop and Police Academy cartoons. I’m aware and watched them. The point of the video was that the source material was rated R which is also the point of my post.
Anyone remember the movie, Demolition Man? That movie was rated R and it had an toy line.
skabcat242 of course. The movie was great but I totally forgot about the toys.
I've got them, they would later use the bodies for a line of he man figures
It was the other way around. The He-Man figures came out first, the Demolition Man line reused most of the molds.
Hell yea! I grew up watching that movie and I remember the toys!
Ripley's flamethrower was upside down, her action feature was the little peg would go in her pocket and when you twisted her at the waist it would push the peg and the flame would come out. Had that toy as a kid, unfortunately ended up losing the flamethrower.
They were going to make a kid friendly Aliens cartoon? Wow. I'm curious how that would have worked. I'd watch it.
My 11 year old self would have loved that!
I would have watched too. Seems like a pretty good idea.
Most people are ok with violence against fictional man eating aliens.
The arcade game was awesome shoot'em up sidecrolling badass-ery
That wouldn't work.
Not suprising really since there are other cartoon shows based of R-rated movies such as Rambo, Conan the Barbarian, RoboCop, Toxic Avenger (the cartoon was called Toxic Crusaders instead) & Highlander.
Missing Robocop?
Rambo, Commando, Demolition Man, and Starship Troopers too.
Not *missing,* just not included in this episode. Note the part where I mentioned I'll be revisiting this topic idea for future episodes. ;-)
@@Pixel-dan thank you for your reply!
Roy Logan And what did they base the cartoon on? See also: Rambo.
Roy Logan Fail.
Well, if the Police Academy toys get a mention for being based on a kid-friendly cartoon based on a rated R movie, the Toxic Crusader toys should get a mention for being based on a kid-friendly cartoon based on a rated R horror movie that includes a child's head getting crushed under the car of one of the movie's antagonists.
Wait a minute... Police Academy was R Rated?
I used to watch them all the time as a kid :D
The first film was
The first was R, the second PG13, all the rest were PG.
Only the first one. The second was PG-13, and they were all PG after that. I'm guessing that when you watched the original as a child, it was probably an edited-for-TV version.
It was probably not an edited version, because I remember there was some nudity and swear words, but not much of it...
Thinking about it, I dont even know how content rating works in my country :D, breasts are sometimes shown in movies that are not 18+ (maybe they are 12+? I have no clue)
Yeah, the MPAA system is screwed up enough on its own. It gets even screwier when you factor in the rating systems of other countries, which have their own criteria and ideas on what is appropriate/inappropriate.
They had TV edited version of most these movies that we watched as children.
13:38 who u calling pin head
😂😂😂
He looks like Patrick xD
Jackson Shepherd I wanna be dirty dan.
I loved the Kenner RoboCop line as a kid!
SEO Toy Review the glow in the dark one was my favorite
By 1989 (the year the toys were released), the Police Academy movies were only PG.
dreamlandnightmare maybe but I thought the PA figures were more based on the cartoon from back then.
They were. Either way, I don't think they warranted a mention in this video.
Yep. Only the first movie was Rated R.
Police Academy the first one was rated r
I had the entire Kenner AVP line good times
Same my stepfather gave me his collection i was confused at what they were but eventually grew to loved them then my parents go rid of them.
Dogmaguy74 aww
The best thing about the Aliens figures is that the commercial was originally going to have an animated segment where a marine roundhouse kicked a Xenomorph in the face.
Now I want to see that in an Alien movie.
Despite the ridiculous levels of censorship in kids' programming in the 80s, the decade was truly a lawless wasteland when it came to transitioning hard-R movies into cartoons and toys. You'd think the 1979 brouhaha over the aborted Alien line would've signaled caution, but the 80s gave us toys and cartoons based on movies so violent, they had to be CUT to get an R in the first place. See RoboCop, and Toxic Avenger...a movie that features a close-up of a child's head being run over by a car. 😕
I love back history of our times of older toys, its sad but all older figures still make great figures today
I found all those Kenner aliens at a boutique goodwill in Portland.
I came up on X-Files figures from the movie at a thrift store. Jackpot forsure
To be fair, the only police academy movie that was rated r was the first one. All the others were PG or PG-13... and the toys were based on and tied in to a kids TV animated series.
Ripley is holding her flamethrower upside down! Driving me crazy!
I was only 4 when I started watching r rated movies on my own. On Saturdays, I would go downstairs, pull up the stool, grab my dad's alien DVDs and then make myself a little bowl of cereal. Don't get me wrong, my parents aren't irresponsible, I just had surprisingly mature movie preferences back then. I'm 24 now, and I just barely started collecting vintage r rated toys and various other stuff. I started collecting neca back in 2017, and since then, have realized my appreciation for the effort and love Kenner put into all of their excellent toys!
Dont forget Rambo and Robocop
That variety of aliens would actually make a good movie, and present bigger chaplenges for an interesting movie plot
I believe most, if not all, of them appeared in Aliens comic book adaptations.
I love my Kenner Predator figures. The Stalker Predator design and sculpt was based off of Dark Horse Comics cover from Aliens vs Predator #1 artist Phil Norwood artwork.
Toylines to include in your next discussion of R Rated Toys:
*Robocop*
*The Toxic Avenger*
*Terminator: Future War*
*Starship Troopers*
*Rambo*
*Commando*
Awesome content, Dan! Your hard work and research into these toy lines really shows. Looking forward to more in this series
Ahh! The ripley figure is totally holding her weapon upside down. The part that pushes out the flame actually pegs into a hole at her side, so when you move her waist it moves the flame out! The aliens figs were my jam as a kid.
Thinking now it was an Odd thing indeed. Though when the Alien and Predator lines hit was in my teens but did check them out and read a few of the comics and loved the Arcade games. Never got any but always dug the designs. Today thanks to NECA I do have a clan leader Predator and it's a fav fig of mine with the Retro box design showing off the old toy.
Think only R rated movie toy I ever owned as a kid was Robocop with the blast cap rolls. Boy that would scare people today.
Think the first Police Academy movie was R and as sequels hit the rating went to pg-13 and also the cartoon which I really can't remember sadly.
Now we have toys on Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Leatherface, Chucky, Candyman, Zombies a plenty, and Evil Dead. Yes collector toys but then we have the Funko and plushies of these same characters.
My have times changed.
I really enjoyed this video Dan, especially the cutover to Jason, very cool.
Very much enjoy your videos on your look on those almost, but not quite forgotten toy lines.Pixel Dan.
I remember having a knock-off Freddy Krueger toy in the early 90s called "Sharp Hand Joe" lol. I had a Wolfman from the same line too.
It seems to have resurfaced as a meme recently.
Man this video gave me too much feels. I remember having the Arnold T-800 and a lot of those Kenner Aliens. My father used to buy me those everytime he find a new model. In fact I'm collecting the Neca inspirated line just for the feel of having those figures again. What a great video, hope you can do more episodes like this.
When I was a kid I had the Terminator toy where you could put the T-800 skelton into a mold of skin and then peel off the skin. It was cool but a huge mess.
I have the endoskeleton and the mold in a shelf, but i lost the other stuff :(
I loved the Kenner Aliens so much! Just the theming and the toys in general are SO GOOOOD!!!!! I’m hoping to get more but of course im planning for loose ones to save money and well, to play with them!
Thank you, Dan.
This is literally the video I have always hoped to find!
Excellent writing in this. Never once felt like you were repeating yourself
Glad to see you and Devall together again
This was a great video. Part 2 please!
Wonderful video! I remember all of these toy lines from when I was a child. Makes me nostalgic
Great video Dan!!! Can’t wait to see more in this series!
great episode Pixel Dan really lovin this toysplosion series...
Great editing and work on this. I’m surprised no one has really talked about this before
Hey, TG! Love your content!
Thanks!
What are you doing here, TG!
Something to remember about 'back in the day'.... While the shows were rated R at the theater and video, There WERE other versions too. Back then the network cable stations would show off an 'edited for Television' version. I couldn't see R rated movies, but with some fancy editing that cut out the swearing and sex.... I had vhs tapes of Lethal Weapon, Rambo 1 & 2, Robocop, Aliens, Terminator and a lot more.
Therefore when "I" saw a Terminator figure or a Rambo figure... they weren't some unknown quantity. They were from movies I had seen and loved. Even if I didnt' realize how much swearing and violence and nudity the director's MEANT there to be in them... I had stlll seen the story and the characters.
Honestly, I wish that was still a thing. I'd love to introduce my nephews to some shows that I loved... that frankly are NOT acceptable for little boys. Nowdays they just show them on the other 400 channels that can get away with more and really don't cut anything anymore. :(
lol what a great idea for a video Pixel Dan!!! I never thought of this!!!!
I love this Series you've been doing, I save every vid & enjoy watching them over from time to time, this might be one of my favorite ones that you have done. I enjoyed the Music, & the Toys from the R Rated movies I remember having so prominently in my childhood days. I love the T2 Figures, one of my Favorite Action Sc-Fi Films ever. These have been really fun to watch, & I anticipate each episode, Great job on these Dan, can't wait for the next Episode!
Love the intro music and start , good series you came up with
good job! Dan! much like the toys that made us, i love retrospectives of these toy lines!
The first pixel dan i watched in 2018 i have been hooked ever since
Terminator 2 was R rated? I grew watching this movie as a kid . And I still have 2 predator toys.
Watched this at your panel at Retropalooza earlier today. Was awesome getting a chance to meet you!
Amen for these toy lines, if it wasn't for those toy lines coming out when I was a kid I wouldn't have the great nostalgia I have for the actual movie franchises like I have now, I remember loving Robocop for the longest time without watching the first Robocop for years
Wasn't there a frakus made about a MARV toy from SIN CITY ?? The toy was featuring Marv as he was getting the chair...... now I want that toy so bad !
Not sure about Marv, but their was a frakus in 1999, when Trendmasters released action figures for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. One of the figures was of Austin in his underwear with a base that had a recording of his line, "Do I make you horny baby?" A mother that was shopping with her son saw this and complained so the figure was quickly pulled from retail at major stores.
I think the aforementioned Sin City toy was made by Macfarlane Toys. It courted controversy because (a) toys for adults were a fairly new thing at the time and (b) remain an alien concept to the moral guardians.
Great video! I think toy and movie execs realised that kids were getting to see most of these on home video. This is why Highlander, Rambo and Robocop generated toys and cartoons too. Plus the 1994 timing of Kenner’s ‘Predator’ series ties in with the syndication of the two Predator movies. And did anyone else but 11-14 year old kids get obsessed with all these VHS and Cinemax classics?
Just watched my second video ever by Pixel Dan. I'm thankful for the actual video of the figures from my youth. A certain "galaxy" show only focuses on the host. Thanks for the great vids and who are the asshats who thumbs down your vids???
Wow thanks for this video it brings back so much of my childhood! I had a lot of these figures like the scorpion alien, the queen, gorilla, along with the two pack predator and alien. I had the t-800 and the one with the exploding chest to expose the ending skeleton, had John Conner, had a lot of Robocop figures too that were based off the cartoon. I still have a lot of these figures still stowed away somewhere. But thanks again for the video as it brought back a lot of memories as a kid!
Well, even though the movies were rated R, there was multiple comics, books, and other items that kids can read and watch of those characters. So, yes, there is a safe source for those toys. The Aliens and the Predator ones, for example, were more comic based than the movie.
Have found out more. They actually nearly adopted a cartoon called Aliens: Operations that would have been based off the toys. Interesting stuff.
Awesome Dan i love the blast from the past
Nostalgic! Thanks Pixel Dan!
Jason!! What a surprise!! Cheers man👍🏼
Very glad you mentioned the original 79 Alien figure. It is a holy grail of mine I am still hunting for. Great episode I hope you make a part 2 and discuss other R rated films being made into toys AND cartoon i.e. Robocop cap toys and cartoon, Freddy Krueger pull string dolls and toys, etc. Awesome episode.loved it!
The Bull Alien was my favorite as a kid!!!! Loved that line!
I remember having a Rambo action figure and I'm sure I had a kenner Robocop back in the 80's as well. On the surface it was such a bizarre marketing idea but it made me want those figures so much more because the movies were forbidden fruit. Great video
Loved this! I still have my Mahoney, along with a few Predators, aliens and Terminators. I use to have og Rambo and Robocop too, thanks for posting this.
Loved this video :D I got a couple of each line :D terminator, aliens and predator were the hit when I was a kid :D great video brother
Great episode!! I have the Alien figure. I had no idea that it was the first R rated toy! That's awesome!!! Thank you.
I think this is the 1st channel I ever subscribed to!
Once again Predator had life outside of the movies. Between comics, novels, and games.
You're probably unaware of toy lines based on previous tv shows from r-rated movies Planet Of The Apes and Logan's Run in the 70s, when I was a kid. Sears had foot-tall Apes figures, and Mego made the short Logan line. I have neither, but I distinctly remember Dr. Zaius in his beige outfit with tiny snap buttoned vinyl coat.
Love your videos, man! Thanks a lot!
How is this not more popular?! You’re literally playing with (reviewing) toys! They’d be all over this!
I had some of these as a kid, loved them and didn’t think about weird it was.
I had alot of these when I was a kid and now as an adult collector I have the necca reimagined versions of the old Kenner figures.
Love the Alien toys and i am building an army of the Kenner t800 figures. Great video!
There was also the Batman Returns line that I remember because of the protests about McDonalds also having toys in the happy meals for an R rated movie while toystores got hit as well...
Excellent video! Hopefully there will be a part 2 featuring other properties like RoboCop, Rambo et al.
Although I wasn't allowed to see ALIEN until I was a little older! I was a huge fan of monster toys and got the Kenner ALIEN figure for Christmas in 1979. Glad you covered a little of the history of that toy.
I had some of the T2 toys despite not watching the film until later in my adult years. Although, I do wish I had those Police Academy toys. Those and the Beetlejuice toys looked like tremendous fun that I regret missing out on as a kid.
loved the video. it was wonderful to meet you at Retropalooza Dallas
Toysplosion whooooo! What an awesome topic Dan epic video! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
I remember getting the Battle Damage Terminator action figure as a present for my sixth birthday when I was a kid. :D
One thing to consider is that all these movies eventually got edited TV versions. I wasn't allowed to see Predator unedited as a kid, but I taped and wore out the TV version and got at least one of those figures.
Thanks for this video, I've never seen Aliens so I never thought to check out the figures, they look so awesome though!
I might have to buy some, especially the Scorpion alien.
I loved the T2 toys. My dad took me to see it when I was 9 turning 10. I had so many of those toys. Even had the Bio-Flesh Regeneration playset.
Those Alien and Predator lines were amazing. My favorite Terminator toy was this demon looking endoskeleton that had extending limbs and machine guns on his hips.
Wow!!!! Pixel Dan, amazing!!!
Always a great subject. Thanks Pixel Dan!
My introduction to this subject was Rambo toys. Rambo! Wow!
I think its because kids liked the action part of the R movie.
Some movies that are R rated IMO are okay... but still need adult supervision. example: t2 a okay! but I wouldn't let me kid see American psycho xD
A slight "that new toy smell" reunion! Awesome!
We technically were in the same room at the same time, lol! Just not on camera together. You will have to watch the upcoming season of BOARD! for that!
Great video! In Canada we have similar rating for the exception of a 14A and children can be accompanied by adults to rated R movies. I loved the robocop and terminator toys!
I never thought too deeply on this but you are so right on this like Aliens and Predator. I remember reading the Dark Horse comics on them and watching the movies but, I didn't think too deeply at that time on what should or should not be made into kids toys. I own all those Alien toys featured.
There was a big figural game for the movie Alligator. I don’t remember if Grizzly was rated R or PG, but there was a rubber figure and a Collegeville Halloween costume. The Incredible Melting Man was definitely R-rated, and Collegeville made a Halloween costume for that film, while Imagineering made a makeup kit aimed at kids. Mego was going to make a game based on The Car, but there is disagreement as to whether it was ever produced. They made a TV commercial for it. The very R-rated Mad Doctor of Blood Island had a rubber figure in 1969. I could probably think of others if I thought about it.
I have to thank you for the tmnt video I wouldn’t have known they were already released without your video I have them all except for April and splinter while I’m at it just thank you for making all your videos I’ve watched you every day for the past 5 years
The exploding T 1000 was cool for the first few days. Then it wore out, and you had to hold it together because it would just fall apart. The Mobile Assault Vehicle and Heavy Metal Cycle were pretty cool too.
Wow I definitely forgot about those Police Academy toys! At least I saw that movie growing up, but I also had the Aliens toys and definitely didnt see that when I was 6!
If you want to watch a pg-13 movie from the 90s watch cool world just saying it should have been rated R
Back then PG-13 was a soft R. Nowadays PG-13 is a hard PG.
I thought Cool World was a motion picture back in the 80's and was Rated-R.
@MarvelandDC379
Today's PG-13 is PG, "hard" or "soft". PG is G. R is still R.
The whole concept of the PG-13 rating was to introduce a category to distinguish movies that featured material a bit too edgy for the standard PG-rating (usually violence) but not intense enough for an R (e.g., "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and "Gremlins"). The rating was used appropriately for a while, but sometime in the 90's, it became clear the PG-13 rating was the most marketable; around this same time, PG movies increasingly became family-oriented. The association with being kid-friendly stuck to PG, and thusly the G rating was rendered all but extinct. So, what began as a nuanced rating to bridge a gap between PG and R has instead become a replacement for PG, shifting PG's function to G and essentially eliminating G (which is now only used for things aimed at very young children).
@@dreamlandnightmareThe G rating had a bit an interesting history as well when the MPAA rating system was first implemented. Stuff that was rated G back then would’ve definitely been rated PG or PG-13 today like the first Planet of the Apes movie had a G rating.
I completely forgot about the marine that can dress up as an alien. That one was really cool too.
Years later and now we’re getting Alien and Predators toys for kids again thanks to Lanard and Walmart and this makes me happy
I like that the Neca Predator figures has the same box design as the original toys!
The alien toys were awesome. I never heard of any issues with them being out there in my area. The exploding one was so dope. Lots of fun wth that one back in the day.
