However, the Amoeba Boys send the girls... dolls that look just like them. Subverted as they were ''supposed'' to be voodoo dolls, but due to the Amoeba Boys' extreme incompetence, they didn't know that they ''weren't'' supposed to send the dolls to the girls, so for the girls, they just see it as this trope. [[HarmlessVillain And knowing the Boys, the dolls probably not might have worked anyway.]]

* The ''Franchise/{{Lego}}'' set [[https://brickipedia.fandom.com/wiki/76051_Super_Hero_Airport_Battle Super Hero Airport Battle]], based off the scene from Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar, includes both [[ComicBook/AntMan Giant-Man and a Nanofigure version of Ant-Man.]] [[note]]Specifically the Scott Lang version from the [[Characters/MCUAntMan Marvel Cinematic Universe]].[[/note]] A "regular" sized minifigure version of Ant-Man can be found in other sets.

** During Wrestling/DGenerationX's mid-2005 feud with the Wrestling/SpiritSquad, one segment had the duo summoning five midgets dressed as the Squad into the ring, only for the real deal to appear later and be showered in goo, leading to the midgets mooning them with their butt cheeks reading [[CatchPhrase "Suck it!"]].

* ''Videogame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'': Plushie versions of most of the animatronics can be found throughout the series, mostly for decorative purposes. Completely Justified since [[SuckECheeses Freddy Fazbear's]] is a franchise InUniverse.

It [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe could have been worse...]]
