Which TV/Movie Toys are the Best Ever?
Posted by Tom
In the next issue of
Toy Shop
, we'll be looking at some of the top TV/movie toys of all time. As you might have guessed, the list of toys in this category is quite long, so I expect a little help in forming the list. Have you got any favorites? Let me know, and I'll add them to the list.
I thought I'd take a little time and discuss some of my personal favorites. Being a kid of the 1980s, I was a fan of Masters of the Universe toys, but in this position, I've grown to love many great toys from the past. I love Western caps guns based on Have Gun Will Travel and the Lone Ranger shows. Nothing transformed you into a character better than gun and holster set. I still shoot toy guns in the office, much to the chagrin of my co-workers.
I also love spy movies, so an attache case, spy camera or trick pen is something I can always use. These characters always had some great gadgets, and I'm glad many companies decided to produce toys of these little wonders. I think some of these need to be added to the list, as well.
Of course, hardly a movie goes by today without a line of associated toys. Just imagine the secondary profits that will be made in the next few weeks with the release of
Spider-Man 3
,
Shrek the Third
and
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
. It's mind-boggling. But will these toys someday make their mark as the best TV/movie toys of all time? Maybe, but I'll stick with a Creature of the Black Lagoon figure any time.
Don't forget to add your thoughts as to the best TV/movie toys of all time. I'm listening.

Of course this ages me, but as far as I am concerned, the best ever was the Corgi 007 Astin Martin. The telescoping spinners, the bullet shield, the machine guns, and the WORKING EJECTOR SEAT!! It was the coolest toy of all time! Tremendous play value, not to mention the envy factor! Unfortunately, I was the one that was envious when I was a kid. I have several of the Corgi Jr cars right now but I need to scratch the itch and aquire one of the larger ones, soon!
