So I’m willing to accept that there’s no 80s toy that hasn’t been made into a movie (and I’m talking in the last 8 or 9 years, not just the ones that had movies back in the 80s). So what haven’t they done yet and what do you hope they never do?

I never saw Petster in any movie.
Does it count if it didn’t have a movie, but did have a TV show?
I had to look stuff up for this. They’ve made almost everything into a movie. Geez. My Buddy and Kid Sister? Might com off as a really cheap Chuckie or something.
@py_sue I thought of My Buddy too, but decided he was Chucky. My Buddy was really the saddest thing ever.
@cockswain I think I had one. :) It’s actually hard to find a toy that isn’t like the Pogo ball or something that doesn’t have a tv show or a movie.
My Buddy would be an awesome horror flick. Those things scared the hell out of me.
PS I (kid you not) hear that there is going to be a movie based on Battle Ship… What’s next “Sit N Spin: A Tale of Childhood Nausea”?
My favourite toy of all time is Lite Brite. It still makes my heart a flutter when I see one. The colours & lights are the most beautiful thing ever. But I don’t know how you would make a movie out of that. I mean, I’d love a Lite Brite movie but the general masses wouldn’t.
Actually, here’s a lite brite movie:

Most of the ones I can think of had TV shows, like the Rubik’s Cube. However, I beleive that Simon and Merlin (best selling toy of 1980) have yet to get their own shows or movies.
@aprilsimnel Ummm….
@jerv Oh my… that’s almost as bad as when I found out they were making a live action Yogi Bear movie.
Those hard acrylic balls on a string—-“Clackers”
@muppetish you sure on the Smurfs thing? I was there when they were doing a bunch of the filming on 5th Avenue…
@ftp901 I would love to see an animation done entirely in stop-motion lite-brite, but yeah, hard to imagine a movie coming from it.
Robie the coin-eating robot. He could be in a horror film, or a docu-drama about corporate greed.
