--> "It's Mary-san. I'm right behind you".

* "Mary-san", a popular Japanese urban legend. During a move a girl's beloved doll that she called Mary-san (some versions use a Toys/LiccaChan doll instead) gets thrown away, whether accidently or on purpose. After a while, the girl receives a phone call. She answers, and the voice on the other end says "It's Mary-san. I'm in the dumpster." Some time later she is called again, and again; each time the voice claims to be Mary-san and reports where she is, each time getting closer to the girl's new house. The final call:
--> "It's Mary-san. I'm right behind you."

** Staya was the Girl's favorite toy before she disappeared due to [[spoiler:dying of an unknown illness]]. She used to play a game with him where they attacked and beat up the other toys (likely because the Girl didn't know the other toys were alive.) He just wants her to come back so they can continue playing their game again, even if it is a sadistic one. He does fight Adeline, who he suspects is the Girl, in three boss fights, but it's implied that he's trying to capture her rather than kill her in the first two. In the third, he attacks because he's devastated that [[spoiler:Adeline is not the Girl, and the Girl is dead]].

* ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeerAndTheIslandOfMisfitToys'': [[spoiler: The Toy Taker's true identity turns out to be Mr. Cuddles, the teddy bear, but he's more of an AntiVillain than most. After his former owner lost interest in him and threw him out, [[WellIntentionedExtremist decided to capture toys so they wouldn't be abandoned by their owners either.]] He ultimately [[HeelFaceTurn reforms for the better]] once he finds out that his owner didn't mean to get rid of him and actually wanted to give him to his daughter.]]

* In the ''{{Franchise/Pokemon}}'' {{creepypasta}} ''[[https://fyeahpokemoncreepypasta.tumblr.com/post/1078334093/banette-creepypasta Abandoned PokéDoll]]'', a young girl loves her stuffed doll, but as she gets older, she becomes more interested in other toys and the doll is discarded. This causes the doll to become Banette years later, and it is furious with the girl for abandoning it. It tears all her toys to pieces and [[WouldHitAGirl kills her]] before she can become a trainer.

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie'': The vicious Spinel turns out to have once been a cheerful, friendly jester specifically created to be Pink Diamond's sentient plaything and best friend. When Pink decided she wanted a colony of her own, she abandoned Spinel like a child would a toy they were bored with. To make matters worse, rather than tell Spinel the truth, Pink claimed that they were going to play a new game: Spinel had to stand in one place until Pink got back. And so Spinel stood there...for ''six thousand years''. Once she finally learned she'd been ditched, the isolation and grief [[GoMadFromTheIsolation drove her insane]] and pushed her to go to Earth for revenge against Pink's son Steven. The plot was inspired by a real incident where showrunner Rebecca Sugar discovered her old toy bunny in the garden and wondered what it would've have felt about being forgotten.

* "Mary-san", a popular Japanese urban legend. During a move a girl's beloved doll that she called Mary-san gets accidentally thrown away. After a while, the girl receives a phone call. She answers, and the voice on the other end says "It's Mary-san. I'm in the dumpster." Some time later she is called again, and again; each time the voice claims to be Mary-san and reports where she is, each time getting closer to the girl's new house. The final call:

* Fanfic/RaphiesRevenge: [[spoiler:Chopper's titular Raphie threatens to destroy May-May the Toys/{{Furby}} Baby, and later ''[[IfICantHaveYou kill Chopper]]'' when Chopper grows bored of it.]]

* ''Music/{{Lordi}}'''s song "Schizo Doll" is sung from the perspective of a doll that was lost, and then foung 80 years later by its former owner. She then died, and the doll was buried alongside her. The doll would ''love'' to be this trope, but it's [[AndIMustScream inanimate, despite being sentient, and can't die because it was never alive]].
