the battlestar galactic finally found earth, but the cylons had followed and discovered it as well. the colonials shared their knowledge with earth in return for recruits to fight the cylons. i joined in defence of my planet and am willing to give my life for that cause.

I seem to recall the Zillion video game and anime series being based on a toy gun (this was years ago in Japan).

Re: toys & tv shows/movies
GI JOE action figure came first, in the 1960's, I believe, then later, when the new cartoon came out in the 1980's, they new line of smaller toys was created to go with it.viperpilot wrote:a cg movie based on the lego toys bionicle is in production.

Transformers and the toys came out within a year of each other. Planned production, IMHO.
Same with HeMan and SheRa, TeenageMutant NinjaTurtles, and other 80's cartoons.

yeah, i know that.The Great Unbearded One wrote:Ummm...every movie I think has toy merchandising...I remember when I was 7 wanting to own an ALIEN action figure with the pop out teeth and moving tail...
*btw i'm quoting this one 'cause it gives me good chance to saythis next thing*
i supposse i'm really wondering which was usually the chicken and which was the egg?
i always thought that in the forties and fifties the show spawned the toys and merchandise.

Close, Lady. GI Joe was the 50's, maybe even the late 40's. My brother's had them.

But, since we're on this train of thought... how many started as comics or became comics afterwards. TMNT is one of the few "started as" that I can think of.
