Dollman vs. Demonic Toys (1993) was a sequel for Full Moon's two minor video hits DOLLMAN and THE DEMONIC TOYS. Tracy Scoggins (Demonic Toys) and Tim Thomerson (Dollman) reprise there starring roles in this weird, short and economic sequel. Those evil and wacky dolls from DEMONIC TOYS are giving more headaches and causing grief for Ms. Scoggins. She can''t defeat these twisted toys by herself. Help comes in the form of that diminutive alien Dollman. Dollman armed with his high tech pistol evens the odds against those annoying toys. Can they defeat the toys once and for all? Will Dollman ever get back home? Do they have enough real footage to make this movie enjoyable? You'll have to find out if you really want to track down a copy of DOLLMAN VS. THE DEMONIC TOYS.

For die hard fans only.

Well, I rented this movie, and I think my IQ has been lowered by it. It was funny to hear a baby doll cussing though. I feel an obligation to watch the other movies in the series now for some odd reason...

Brick Bardo (Tim Thomerson)teams up with Judith Grey (Tracy Scoggins, from Demonic Toys) to destroy the demonic toys who are trying to bring Satan back to life (Or such nonsense) also on-board is Ginger (Refered to as Dollchick played by Melissa Behr reprising her role from Bad Channels) now Brick Bardo must save his girl and destroy the toys and must not fail. Dollman Vs Demonic Toys is a guilty pleasure for many reasons, the idea is so preposterous and surreal that you end up watching in shock. Also the movie is so unbelievably short that it's impossible to be really too bored and as always Tim Thomerson is fun to watch, that being said there is too much stock footage from Dollman, Demonic Toys and Bad Channels but you never get too bored since there is always something silly going on. Also there just is something surreal about watching Tim Thomerson fight a giant baby doll while rescuing his beloved "dollchick".

* * out of 4-(Fair)

A couple of laughs, mainly due to the evil baby doll and his vulgar one-liners and even Dollman himself (Thomerson) gets in on the laughs. It's Halloween night and the Dolls are trying to use the 1 ft. tall Ginger as a host for Satan to be reborn through. It's up to Brick Bardo, aka Dollman, to save her and kill the Demonic Toys.

A horrible mess of a script, crappy acting (excluding the always great Thomerson) and garbage miniature effects.

And at just over an hour in length where the best scene has an evil foul-mouthed Baby Doll tries to have sex with the foot tall Ginger while he makes Dollman watch, it just really makes you wonder what the point to this whole mess of nonsesne even was.

"Dollman vs Demonic Toys" is a very low-budget but fun fantasy B-movie that connects three "Full moon features" together as a connected universe, & done way before "Marvel" movies did it, the short timed film is just abit of cheesy fantasy fun. The connected universe films are the Cult Classic "Demonic Toys 1992" "DollMan 1991" & "Bad Channels 1991" & features characters from each film such as "Brick Bardo aka:Dollman" played greatly with cranky rugged charm by B-movie legend Tim Thomerson, we also have the excellent & beautiful Tracey Scoggins back as tough Cop "Judith Grey" from Demonic Toys & we get a shrunken lady called "Ginger" played by the stunning Melissa Behr from Bad Channels & this entry is set one year after all the events of these three films so it should be 1993!!!

This is a really cool & fun idea joining up great characters from three of Full Moon's best hit cult films, these straight to video films were always such great fun in the real B-movie tradition, these are proper Cult films & the fantasy world created is so Awesome i wanna be in that world lol, great escapism films that have great music scores, Cool creature fx, Awesome characters & easy watching story telling!!! I've been a huge fan of Demonic Toys since the 90's when i got it on video & loved it ever since, this sequel/ Companion piece is made with a much lower budget but it's made with heart & the fans in mind, it also does create it's own unique & strange fantasy universe, if you like those films or any of those three films mentioned you will really enjoy this cheesy well intentioned fun Cult film.

It was great seeing Tracey Scoggins back in her popular tough Cop role as she was excellent in "Demonic Toys" & the "Dollman" is an Awesome little "Dirty Harry" type Space Cop character who i loved in this!!! Also what i found really cool was each character got a chance to tell each other their story with flashbacks from each of their own movies & it's a very cool.

The three heroes "Dollman" "Ginger" & "Grey" go up against the newly reborn evil Toys from 92's "Demonic Toys" & it's just a goofy fun fantasy adventure.

Full Moon decided to combine two franchises together and throw in a dose of Bad Channels and out comes Dollman vs Demonic toys. From a B movie stand point its OK. I think there was a missed opportunity here. First off the good, Tim Thomerson (who is always great) returns as Dollman who is searching for the nurse (who got shrunk by aliens in Bad Channels) as I guess for a companion. While this is happening the Demonic toys happened to get resurrected and resume to creating havoc. Tracy Scroggins returns also (from Demonic Toys) as the policewoman trying to stop them. She recruits Dollman to help stop them once and for all. Yes the connection between everything is razor thin and a chunk of the footage is from the three movies this one combines. Also this movie is barely over a hour. I actually wished it was a little longer and I am not sure why its so short. This kind of movie is for fans of the genre and of full moon only. With that in mind and with its short length I can only say that its average. A good idea not fulfilled to its potential.

Well, damn it! I liked this one more than I thought I would. Dollman Brick Bardo - find out more about him in Albert Pyun's "Dollman" (1991) - teams up with doll-chick Nurse Ginger - want to get to know her a bit better, then watch Ted Nicolaou's "Bad Channels" (1992) - and even hard-ass & hot-looking cop Gray (Tracy Scoggins) - coming from, guess which film, "Demonic Toys" (1992) - returns to battle it out with the demented bunch of Demonic Toys. And they all get their share! Nicest touch in the plot is undoubtedly demonic doll Baby Oopsy-Daisy wanting to rape Nurse Ginger (Melissa Behr - man, will you just check out that pair of boobies she has, will ya already, yes!) in order to impregnate her and give birth to the reincarnated soul of some Man-Devil. You just gotta love that! Tim Thomerson rocks big-time in this one. Only annoying thingie might be that a lot of (flash-back) footage from "Dollman", "Demonic Toys" and "Bad Channels" are edited into the movie for background-story related reasons. And well, to compensate for the lack of plot there is in this cross-over film, I imagine. Either way, "Dollman vs. Demonic toys" certainly is a must-see for Tim Thomerson fans. Others better go play with their Chucky doll.

With a name like full moon entertainment, you think they would make really good horror movies. Instead we get another comedy/horror hybrid that is not scary and is not funny. We already have a company that does this called Troma we do not need two. With a low budget you can still make effective horror movies like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or the original "Halloween". Full Moon though would rather make a movie featuring characters from different movies coming together. Movies that were not very good to begin with. This one shows you scenes from "Dollman" and "Slimebowlarama" to set up its tale. Seems "Dollman" found a gal his size and so he heads to this town that has these stupid killer toys...think "The Puppet Master", but with stupid looking toys. What you get is a very bad movie that isn't funny or scary which is exactly what one would expect when combining characters from other movies that are also not funny or scary. My advice would be to skip seeing this one unless you see it on the Sci-Fi channel so you can see just how stupid it is. What is really strange is Tim Thomerson being in this...he seems to be an okay actor, why does he take roles like this?

First off, I am a fan of the full moon films from the early and mid 90's. So it was cool to see a mix of their franchises on the screen. Like most Full Moon Fanatics, I can't really say why they appeal to me, the budgets aren't high, but the acting is usually above normal straight to video fare and they entertain, I guess that's the bottom line..they entertain.

Now for this movie in particular. The effects were fine (except for the large Baby oopsy),Tim Thomerson always delivers, and both female leads (Tracy Scroggins, and Mellisa Behr), are attractive and do a fine job. Baby Oopsie-Daisy is a riot. I have to admit I really enjoyed the movie, a great way to spend and hour, and that leads me to my only complaint. It was only 64 minutes long. Add in the opening and closing credits along with the flashback sequences to the other movies (Dollman, Demonic Toys, and Bad Channels) to introduce the main characters back stories and you were well under an hour. Now I prefer a shorter movie to a long one. If you can't tell your story in 2hours or so you just aren't trying (in most cases). But this was a little too short, no development. Why did the dwarf security guard join the demonic toys so quickly, who was that girl they sacrificed where did she come from? Show me something rather then explain it with one line of dialog. Anyway felt more like an hour long TV episode rather then a movie.

Final decision : I really enjoyed the time spent watching it. There were some good, and some below average effects. Slightly underdeveloped story and characters, but in the end it entertained. It was funny, had some decent action, and was just plain fun.

I live in South Korea, and I've seen this movie as Korean release, 61 minutes long. I've not known this is CROSSOVER version of 3 movies, [Dollman] - [Bad channels] - [Dangerous Toys], but still cool for me. If you think this is very boring, you might miss [SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT] part 2, which movie is only 'REMEMBER' 1st. movie about half of running time. I think this could be 6 points from 10.

Some guy bangs his head on something while riding a kids tricycle and dies on the floor bleeding. His blood resurrects demonic toys and some cop woman goes "$#!+" and enlists the help of Dollman to exterminate them. Demonic Toys = Meh! Dollman = Fun. Together = Vomit. Dollman Vs Demonic Toys is a one hour snail and almost half of it is stock footage of the aforementioned movies and another called Bad Channels. The only good scene in this train wreck is when a plastic baby doll attempts to rape a 12 inch girl. Otherwise, it is just a dull, lazy cheap piece of garbage with horrible action sequences, idiotic story and horrible acting. It swallows donkey ding dong.

I love the films of Full Moon Entertainment, the best still being The Pit and The Pendulum and the worst being Invisible: The Chronicles of Benjamin Knight. Dollman VS. Demonic Toys falls somewhere inbetween, leaning towards bad. This movie is absolutely ridiculous, a sequel to three of their films (those being Dollman, Demonic Toys and Bad Channels).

But this movie, with all the B-grade charms, still entertained me. I have no clue why, but it just did. The baby doll, looking hopeless compared to Chucky in the animatronic effects department, is riotously funny. The problem with this movie is simply this, it's just not long enough. I have no idea why the film runs 84 minutes in the USA, but here in Australia, it runs a mere 58 minutes. 58 minutes! Good for a cheap laugh or two, and special effects aren't that bad.

AUSTRALIAN CLASSIFICATION:

MA15+ Medium Level Course Language and Violence

!! Who handed out this rating?

I just love those demonic toys! I always will. There is just something so nice and heartwarming about a doll coming alive and killing people.

I never watched 'Dollman' or 'Bad Channels' which are the other two movies this movie is a cross-over between. Actually, I saw part of Dollman a while ago, so I was familiar with it.

Anyway, if you like Horror B-Movies, you will want to see this movie. If you like movies made by Full Moon then this is necessary viewing.

Anyway, the plot consists something of a female cop helping Dollman and his equally small female companion. For some reason the demonic toys are there and they kill people. You know, you're standard fare, great stuff, I love it.

o9 my god how bad is this movie the plot: a space cop that was reduced to a 30 cm guy with a normal woman cop try to destroy some demonic toys!!!the big problem isn't the plot(ok its really awful)but the film himself. The toys are not scary are not well controlled and doesn't appear too much at the beginning of the story. Instead of them we see the past movies from the dollman and a other 30cm girl. Run from this movie away. I've seen it because it was on tv at 2 am and i didn't feel sleepy (too much pepsi)Better wacht child's play if you wanna see some evil toy!!!

At 58 minutes this garbage was never going to have a chance with me, but I must admit I only rented it for a good laugh. And I got it. Get this, this movie is a sequel to not one but THREE different movies from Full Moon Entertainment(the Puppetmaster series look like the Star Wars Trilogy in comparison). The films are Dollman, Demonic Toys, and Bad Channels. That's not the worst of it, even the killer G.I. Joe isn't the worst thing about this flick(it's the funniest thing, though). This poor excuse for a horror flick actually rips off a movie called Killer Klowns From Outer Space, arguably the worst film since Plan 9 From Outer Space. Then again, the Quick and The Dead was pretty godawful.

May have past if it were a episode in your favorite tv show but as a movie I found it lack luster. Thommy was good as usual and if it wasn't for him it would not even be worth watching. The dialog was full of corny one liners but what really hurt the movie was the very ordinary first half where almost nothing happens at all. Once the action picks up toward the end its not bad but a little bit of nudity would have gone a long way. Shame it had to be so family friendly.

First of all, half of the movie is Dollman and Bad Channels. I mean, if we wanted to see those movies, we would've bought them. And what's with the 64 minute run time? What happened? Did they run out of film or something? And their are about 7 people in the whole film! Plus, some of the effects are crappy.

Like when a hobo riding a tricycle hits a box and falls off. Then he hits his head on the ground and about 8 gallons of blood comes out. He didn't even hit his head that hard! The point is, the movie is kind of good. So if you're a fan of Demonic Toys, Dollman, and Bad Channels, rent this movie!!!

This was another of these Full Moon films I would watch growing up and I was scared to watch as an adult, not being sure if it would hold up like I wanted. I do have to give credit to them, they decided crossover their franchises. It is interesting though that this would technically be the second film in all of these though, so they aren't franchises yet. The official synopsis is Judith Grey (Tracy Scoggins) teams with Brick Bardo the Dollman (Tim Thomerson), and his girlfriend Ginger (Melissa Behr) to face the evil Demonic Toys for one final battle.

We kick off getting a recap of the events of Demonic Toys. It turns out that Judith is sitting in the parking lot of the same warehouse, just waiting for something to happen. The events are recapped through her dream to get us caught up. A bum (R.C. Bates) sneaks inside and Judith follows him in. She calls for back-up, but told she is suspended and shouldn't be in there. The bum dies and this brings back Baby Oopsy-Daisy (voiced by Frank Welker), Jack Attack the creepy Jack-in-the-Box, the Robot and a new soldier action figure called Zombietoid. They sneak off as Judith fires at them. She is confronted by Ray Vernon (Phil Fondacaro) as well as police officers who arrest her.

Brick Bardo the Dollman makes his way to Pootah, where he meets Ginger. He saves her from a spider and they hit it off, being the same size. They both tell each other their stories, which is also a recap of Dollman and Bad Channels. The problem is that Ginger isn't the girl who was still small at the end, but a high school named Bunny. Being this is Full Moon, I'm not surprised that there's this continuity error.

Judith seeks the aid of Dollman to help her take out the Demonic Toys. Ginger doesn't believe her, but decides to tag along as well. Ray is helping the toys by bringing fresh bodies to revive the demon that tried to take over Judith's unborn baby. This time, Dollman can go where they can, but he also is their size doesn't give him an advantage.

I think this film has a solid idea to combine these three films personally. You can't really say franchises, since they are all just solo films. All of them though have smaller things, which Full Moon loved to have. I like Dollman and think it is fun to bring him into the horror film against these toys. The sets being blown up to make the actors look smaller are fun and having the toys the same size is something else I really enjoy. I do think it increases the tension actually, because they can do more damage to these two.

I have to get back to the continuity errors though. There is of course Ginger. I'm fine with having Behr in this film, as she is quite attractive and it makes me wonder if they just liked her better, or couldn't get the other actress back. There is also the issue of the demon behind the toys. I like that the bum is what brings them back, that isn't my issue. My issue is that his body disappears. This didn't happen in the original to my knowledge and I only think it is here to make Judith look crazy. It also doesn't make sense that the demon can just try again to come back. The first film states that he can only come back every 66 years; this just changes the mythology. I'm probably thinking too much into this, but as someone who loves the story of films, it bothers me. Especially because I feel like they're just being lazy at times.

This brings me to the pacing of the film. It moves through what happens very quickly, but the problem is this isn't technically a feature length film. It runs 64 minutes, but I'd say that a good portion of it is giving us recaps of the other three films. I'm not surprised to see Charles Band as the director, because he loves helming these 'clip shows', where they reedit films from other ones and just tack on some minor things. For this one, the new footage they shot is pretty solid. I really just wanted more of it. I thought the ending is just a bit abrupt and they could have just done a bit more.

Acting for the film was solid actually. Thomerson is Bardo. He is just a hard cop, who takes nothing from those around him. I would have actually liked to see him in more films as Dollman. Scoggins is also solid back as Judith. She really doesn't have a lot in this aside from being the catalyst in my eyes of getting Dollman into the warehouse. I would have liked to see a bit more of her character. Behr I thought brings some sass to the film and she is quite attractive as well. The film does like to show off some her body. It was fun to see Fondacaro, who I'm a fan of. I think he was starting to work more with Full Moon around this time. I did find it interesting that Welker did some voice work as I'm a big fan of him. The rest of the cast were fine for what was needed.

This brings me to the effects of the film, which again are pretty solid. The toys are again done with puppets, but they also were allowed to blow up them since they are facing off against people the same size as them. This is still when Full Moon was doing things practically and this is probably the strongest part of the film. There were some times though where it doesn't look great. The big issue I have with the film though is that there are really no deaths. I think that is something the film could have been better with. Introduce some characters for the toys to kill, because that is what we want more of. The film was also shot fine in my opinion.

To wrap this up, I want to touch on the score of the film, which wasn't bad, but it loses some points for originality. Whenever the film is showing the history of one of the other previous films, it would play that one's theme. I don't mind it, but it isn't original. I did find it crazy that the rest of the score was done by Quiet Riot. There was one moment with a toy record player, that I don't buy playing this group, but the rest of it I thought was fitting for what they needed.

Now with that said, this film is quite flawed, but I still have some nostalgia for it. I thought the concept was really good. The world building aspect of it wasn't a bad move. It really makes for interesting piece of the film to see Bardo and Ginger against toys the same size as theym. It also adds a dimension when fighting the toys. I thought the acting was solid. What I did have issue with was a good portion of the film being a recap and not really adding that much new stuff. I think the film is lacking because of that for sure. The effects were pretty solid, just wanted more which includes more mayhem from the toys. The score borrows a lot from the other films, but I think fits for what was needed still. Because of lack of originality and the minimal new footage, I have to give this film a slightly below average score. I will round it up though.

Dollman Vs Demonic Toys (1993) is actually a 3 movie crossover between Dollman, Bad Channels and Demonic Toys from Full Moon Entertainment. This is available for free on Tubi (they all are). It continues the storyline post Dollman and explains the ending. Dollman "randomly" bumps into the shrunken girl at the end of Bad Channels and they have to take down the Demonic Toys attempt to bring back the demon who created them. The movie is directed by legendary horror director Charles Band (Ghoulies, Puppetmaster, Subspecies and Re-Animator). If you watch the 3 movies in order - Dollman, Demonic Toys, Bad Channels and then this in order, this movie is a lot of fun. It does deliver the same feel as those movies in a nice close to each storyline (even though Demonic Toys kept going). I really enjoyed this and found it very entertaining. I recommend watching them all. Final rating: 6.5/10.

I won't lie when I say that I liked 1990's Dollman. Tim Thomerson running around as Brick Bardo was simply the highlight of what could have been the worst movie in the world, but oddly enough, that movie was filled with enough humor and camp to make a movie that was only a hour and 17 minutes feel like a complete picture, even if one or two parts of the movie kind of slowed everything down.

Now, I cannot speak on the behalf of either "Bad Channels" or "Demonic Toys", but all I can say is that if "Dollman Vs. Demonic Toys" is an indicator, "Demonic Toys" would be an insult, but somewhat laughable attempt at trying to cash in on the "Child's Play" series of films from the 80s, and Bad Channels would seem like something of an original idea kind of like how "Dollman" was an original idea.

When I sat down for "Dollman Vs. Demonic Toys", I wasn't expecting anything other than maybe a less than average horror movie with a movie character I would be rooting for to defeat the Chucky Knockoff possessed toys. What I got was a movie that was padded so much, leaves so little explained and a plot that was squandered, which I feel is disrespectful for its target audiences, which would have to be the purists who watch these low budget movies to begin with.

The problem with Versus movies is that for the most part, you have to cover both sides of the tracks for the characters that are going head to head, and you run into the issue of giving away almost all the back story or none of the back story. This movie, unfortunately, pads the entire picture with all three major characters' back stories, With Dollman's back story being the longest, since he actually has more plot and character to work with.

This is insulting for the audience, because if you already know the back story (again, only the fans would watch this sequel because they have seen all the movies), this stuff you just fast-forward, and then you take off what feels about 4 to 5 minutes of film. The film also insults its audience by using lots to tactics to make the movie longer, such as having almost four minute intro credits, four minute out credits, and one very obnoxious long shot of a guard reading a magazine that didn't look like he was reading a magazine so much as it looked like he was...ahem, having "fun" with himself.

The movie also avoids explaining how in the beginning, Dollman was hitching a ride, and the next time we see him, he magically meets Nurse Ginger from "Bad Channels", or how the cop found Nurse Ginger without anything more than a reporter saying she lives in a select town.

The movie is really nothing more than continuous padding, and by the time we get to the versus part of it all, it's so anti-climatic, you almost feel like apologizing to somebody that's not you for wasting the complete hour you used to watch this movie. And let's not even touch on the fact that every one of the Demonic Toys is more obnoxious than Beetlejuice and Drop Dead Fred on a caffeine high. I don't understand how there are fans of the toys, but I know that Chucky is more tolerable than the continuously laughing clown or the baby doll with a potty mouth so lame that George Carlin would have cried in embarrassment over the thought that somebody would find some part of this threatening or even funny.

The movie is an insult to us all. For all the fans of their respectable films, watch those movies over again. At least you know you can honor their films with more respect than this. It doesn't matter whether the film is "Alien Vs. Predator", or "Freddy Vs. Jason", if you watch this versus, it really, really doesn't matter who wins, we all lose.
