** [[http://crazybonespedia.wikia.com/wiki/Mini_Mosh A prototype of a Mini Gogo version of Mosh exists.]] Since all of the officially released Mini Gogos from the ''Mega Metropolis'' series are characters originally from the ''Evolution series'', the existence of the prototype implies that Series 1 characters would've been used as Mini Gogos instead.
* TheWikiRule: [[http://crazybonespedia.wikia.com/wiki/Crazy_Bones_Pedia-Wiki It's got one.]] The wiki also has info on [[FollowTheLeader copycat products]] such as Jojo's Bouncin' Boneheads, Toonz/Blinku, and even [[ShoddyKnockoffProduct bootlegs of the actual Gogos]].

** The ''Superstar'' series was to be released in North America in 2012, but it ended up being [[NoExportForYou Europe-exclusive]] due to the toyline losing popularity at that point. The closest it ever got to finding its way to America was the presence of Superstar Gogos on a licensed calendar. The Edge series presumably would've been released in North America as well, if Superstar had been released there.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Good luck finding the TV show's pilot episode; it was taken down from Website/YouTube due to backlash concerning both the show's characters being unrecognizable and the show itself being considered terrible. The only remnant of it online as of now is its [[https://vimeo.com/67360479 theme song]].
* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: A rare example where it's within the series itself. The Evolution series characters Hiroki, Lessei, and Boki, and the Explorer series characters Jato, Targy, and Gondo all appeared in the first Gold Series tin, which was released in North America before the Evolution and Explorer series could be released there.

** Superstar was planned to be released in North America, but it never was, making it a Europe-exclusive series.
** Averted with Series 1 from 2007, which got released in Latin America and Asia under the name "Urban Toys". However, 20 characters from the original set did not appear in Urban Toys.
** Also averted with the Megatrip series, which was released in the UK as "Edge", albeit with 20 characters taken out similar to the Urban Toys example above. Played straight in North America, which never got the Edge series at all.
** Mega Metropolis, a UK-only series, was going to be released in North America as "Fusion", but this plan was scrapped.
** India never got any sets of Gogos beyond the Urban Toys series. This is probably because one character in Megatrip, the series after Urban Toys, happens to resemble a cow, which are considered sacred to the Hindu majority in India.
** Averted again with the Brazilian Disney series, which is based off of a collectible toy series called Wikeez, which are made by PPI Worldwide, one of the companies that produced the reboot Gogo's Crazy Bones series. However, some changes were made for the Brazilian release, and once again the trope is played straight in North America, which never got the Disney series at all.

* FandomLifeCycle: Got to around Stage 3 or 4 during its original 90's run. It skipped right to 6b or 6c upon the fad dying out, but got a NewbieBoom in 2007 due to a reboot version entering release; said reboot also got to around Stage 3 or 4 at its peak and has since gone on to become a Stage 6c. While the toys have most certainly not been forgotten completely by time, you'd have to be very, ''very'' lucky to find anyone who hasn't at least forgotten it ever existed nowadays.

* FollowTheLeader: The 2012 video game for the Nintendo DS seems to have taken a cue from ''VideoGame/AngryBirds'' - both involve the player launching characters at constructions made of wood, glass, etc. in an attempt to knock out all of the enemy characters on the construction.
