* Octavius Fong, leader of the Roaming Eye of Doom in the {{WebOriginal/Metaverse}}.

* Pokota, a stuffed lion, from ''Manga/HimechanNoRibon'' was brought alive by magic and serves as the animal sidekick.

* ''WesternAnimation/MonsterMash2000'': One of the modern monsters is an evil wind-up doll named Chicky, the Doll of Destruction. She's a CaptainErsatz of [[Film/ChildsPlay Chucky]], only differentiated by her green skin and other gender. She wears her hair in GirlishPigtails, but one of the tails is the wind-up key. Her weapon of choice is a remote control with which she can change the environment around her.

* In the ''Film/ChildsPlay'' films, "Chucky" is a doll possessed by a psychopathic criminal.

* The titular character of ''Literature/UppoNalle'' is a sentient teddy bear living with a human family, who don't think him talking is that odd. They also have a talking dog.

* ''Literature/UrpoJaTurpo'' is about two toy bears who have adventures in the playroom when the humans aren't looking.

* A common trope in the 80s and early 90s for horror movies. The toys where generally alive by the use of BlackMagic or DemonicPossession. Examples of this are:
** The killer toys from ''Demonic Toys'' and ''Dollman Vs Demonic Toys''.
** The killer Puppets from the ''Puppetmaster'' movies. Though they can follow a good puppetmaster, they will do evil stuff to anyone who harasses or tries to harm said puppetmaster, especially ThoseWackyNazis.

* The rag dolls of Yarn Kingdom in ''Webcomic/CirqueRoyale'' (who were first created by giant Queen Purl) are living yarn dolls; each of the first ones were knit and brought to life by her. They can live forever as long as their hearts aren't destroyed.

* ''[[Fanfic/TheZeroContextSeries Zero Context: Taking Out the Trash]]'' gives us Mini-Lina, a foot-sized doll modeled in the likeness of [[LightNovel/{{Slayers}} Lina Inverse]] that likes playing video games, relaxing in her best friend's jacket pocket, and--like her namesake--disintegrating anything she aims her magic at.

* ''Film/{{Asylum|1972Horror}}'': In "Mannikins of Horror", Dr. Byron has constructed a group of toy robots with human heads, one of which he sends to murder Dr. Rutherford. When Dr. Martin crushes one beneath his foot, he discovers that it has real internal organs.

* The ''Comicbook/PowerOfShazam'' incarnation of Mister Talky Tawny was a plush tiger belonging to Mary Batson, which was animated by a pooka to become her SpiritGuide.

* The page quote was parodied by ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}'' when it offered a line of stuffed animal [[EldritchAbomination Cthulhu toys]]. The ad text read in part: "tonight's the night the teddy bears summon Cthulhu!"

** A Krusty doll in one of the Halloween episodes. Once his [[spoiler:switch was set from "Evil" to "Good"]] there were no further problems. At least for everyone except the doll. However, he gets better... This one is a ShoutOut to the Talking Tina episode of ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'', mentioned above.
** In a ''Franchise/ToyStory'' parody, Bart's dolls are all fairly bloodthirsty. This is technically subverted in that the toys themselves aren't ''evil'', they were just [[TheDogBitesBack biting back]] against Bart, who had mistreated them horribly. They then proceed to kill him, replace his innards with toy parts, then [[ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine abuse his body like he was one of them]].

* ''Film/{{Asylum}}'': In "Mannikins of Horror", Dr. Byron has constructed a group of toy robots with human heads, one of which he sends to murder Dr. Rutherford. When Dr. Martin crushes one beneath his foot, he discovers that it has real internal organs.

->'''Woody:''' '''YOU! ARE! A!''' '''''TOYYYY!''''' You're not the real Buzz Lightyear; you... you're an ''action figure!'' You are ''a child's'' '''plaything!'''\\

* ''VIDEOGAME/BearWithMe'': Most of the characters aside from Amber, her family, and the Red Man seem to be this.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': The twist ending of [[spoiler: "Five Characters in Search of an Exit"]] involves the characters finding out that they are toys.

* In the two part special of ''Series/TheHauntingHour'' - "Really You", it's revealed that [[spoiler: all dolls are alive, and naturally good]] but it just so happens that this one is evil.
* ''Series/NightGallery'' episode "The Doll". A British Army officer must deal with a murderous doll sent by an old enemy.

** "My name is Talking Tina, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_Doll_%28The_Twilight_Zone%29 and I'm going to kill you."]] You'd better be nice to her.[[note]]Parodied in a ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'' episode where Johnny's neighbor Little Suzy acquires an evil doll named "Little Talky Tabitha".[[/note]]
*** Actually, seeing as Tina's victim Erich was [[AssholeVictim pretty rotten himself]] (being abusive to his stepdaughter all because ''he'' was sterile) she may be considered more of a KnightTemplar.
** Two episodes feature evil ventriloquist's dummies, the first of which starred Bill Bixby.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0huay7g9aw This]] J2O commercial features a bunch of living inflatable pool toys having a pool party.
