Moving the in-series examples of Names The Same to the main page as (averted) examples of One Steve Limit.


* NamesTheSame: Given the [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters amount of characters]], this was inevitable. This actually happens ''within the Gogo's Crazy Bones series itself!''
** Is Atori the character with a zipper in his head from Series 1/Urban Toys, or is it the dino-like character from Megatrip/Edge?
** Is Tsu the Gogo holding a drink in his hand from Series 1/Urban Toys, or is it the character from Megatrip/Edge whose hair can keep others' secrets? The Tsu from Megatrip had her name changed to Suti in Edge, possibly to combat this.
** Cross-franchise example: The 19th character in the Evolution series is named [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Sully]].

to:

* NoExportForYou:NoExportForYou: ''Boy, howdy.'' It's particularly common for sets of Gogos to be Europe-exclusive - they ''are'' from a European toy company, after all.


Added DiffLines:

** The 90's Gogos weren't exempt, either. A set of Gogos from the 90's based on ''Anime/{{Medabots}}'', for example, only got a European release.

** 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 in India.

Added DiffLines:

* ThrowItIn: An entire variant of Gogos is the result of this. Back in the 90's, the factories that manufactured Gogos occasionally screwed up their molds by accidentally deforming them; these deformed Gogos were thrown into the series and passed off as a variant of Gogos called "gooies". These "gooies" became significantly less common in the reboot series due to the Gogos going through more quality inspections before being sold in stores (90's Gogos were rushed to stores, leaving less of a chance for quality inspection).

Added DiffLines:

* TheMerch: Due in no small part to how big a fad the series became (which happened ''twice'', no less), Gogos have been given a lot of licensed products including (but not limited to) greeting cards, calendars, T-shirts, pencil toppers, and [[EverythingsBetterWithPlushies plush toys]].

** There would have been a set of Gogos based off of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' released in 1998.

Added DiffLines:

** [[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.

** 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 "Edge" series presumably would've been released in North America as well, if Superstar had been released there.
