I saw it again recently and its fucking sweet. They’re toys with advance computer chips in em that makes them essentially alive. The ones marketed as the hero’s in the toyline are the army guys who’s only goal in life is to genocide the Gorgonites who are supposed to be the bad guy toys but they’re actually cool. It was directed by Joe Dante (Gremlins) and had an absolutely stacked cast: its got child Kirsten Dunst, Phil Hartman, David Cross, Robert Picardo, Dennis Leary who is don’t like but is well cast as an asshole business guy. The army guys are played by the actors from The Dirty Dozen, so you’ve got Tommy Lee Jones as the main villain, earnest Borgine, George Kennedy, Jim Brown and Clint Walker.the Gorgonites are played by Spinal Tap.

Its fucking good.
Damn, that sounds great. My parents wouldn’t let me watch it as a child because they assumed it was army propaganda from the title.
The marketing for the movie made it seem that way. Its actually a critique of military propaganda being aimed at kids.
