[[folder: Toys ]]

* Legends of Chima is Thundercats [-WITH LEGOS-]!
* ''Toys/{{Fabuland}}'' is ''Toys/{{LEGO}}'' [-WITH FURRIES-]!
* The short-lived action figure series ''K9 Corps'' recycles the concept of the similarly short-lived ''WesternAnimation/RoadRovers''... [-ONLY [[DarkerAndEdgier DARKER AND EDGIER]]-]!
* ''Toys/LEGOSpace'' is ''Toys/{{LEGO}}'', um, [-IN SPACE-]!
* ''Toys/{{Bratz}}'' is ''Toys/{{Barbie}}'' [-BUT MORE HIP-]! The line itself also repeatedly did this to try and keep it fresh.
** ''Bratz Babyz'' is ''Bratz'' [-[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin AS BABIES]]-]!
** ''Bratz Petz'' is ''Bratz'' [-AS ANIMALS-]!
** ''Bratzillaz'' is ''Bratz'' [-AS MONSTERS AND HORROR MOVIE CREATURES-]!
* ''Toys/MonsterHigh'' is ''Toys/{{Bratz}}'' [-WITH MONSTERS-]!
** ''Toys/EverAfterHigh'' is ''Monster High'' [-WITH [[FracturedFairyTale PRINCESSES]]-]!
* Toy designer [[http://sillof.com/ Sillof]] has actually made a hobby out of this trope, with a line of fan-made ''Franchise/StarWars'' action figures that [[http://www.sillof.com/C-ALL%20SW.htm transplants the cast of the original trilogy into different genres]]. He first came to prominence with a {{Steampunk}} ''Star Wars'' line, but has since churned out a FilmNoir ''Star Wars'' line, a {{Western}} ''Star Wars'' line, a {{Cyberpunk}} ''Star Wars'' line, a HighFantasy ''Star Wars'' line, a 1940s [[FilmSerial sci-fi serial]] ''Star Wars'' line, a JidaiGeki ''Star Wars'' line, and several others. The results are fascinating, to say the least.
* ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' action figures have series [-IN SPACE-]! [-AND PLAYING SPORTS-]! [-AND AS SUPERHEROES-]! [-AND SCUBA DIVING-]! [-AND AS CLOWNS-]!
* ''Toys/LOLSurprise'' is ''Toys/{{Bratz}} Babyz'' [-FOR YOUNGER AUDIENCES!-]
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' [[ExaggeratedTrope does this a lot,]] usually just to keep the brand fresh and often using just an ExcusePlot for a story. While it ''is'' MerchandiseDriven, and has really blatant examples of highlighting the gimmicks of the current toyline at the expense of the plot, more modern entries have begun to focus on the lore and mythos to an extensive degree instead, or at the very least have a proper story beyond just being advertising. Really, how this trope is played in regards to ''Transformers'' varies from continuity family to continuity family.
* Lil’ Chonks are Disney Tsum Tsum [-WITH [[Creator/GlitchProductions GLITCH PRODUCTIONS]] CHARACTERS!-]
