Many of us have a fascination and love for toys(Yes, even the oldest of us do cuddle up with toys). Whether it's soft cute cuddly toys or action figures, toys have a big roles on screen. For me, I just feel that toys are one of the most versatile actors on screen. This is because they can be seen as both the heroes and villains of a show. The pioneers for introducing the concept of toys coming to life was Toy Story. Now who can forget memorable characters such as cowboy Woody, Buzz Lightyear( To Infinity and Beyond!) and the reassemble Mr. Potato that come to life when no one is around.
The Crew of Toy Story 2. Another sequel, Toy Story 3 will be out tentatively in 2010 which will mark Pixar's 11th animation.Another aspect is the villainous side of toys. Apparently toys can be deadly when they want to
be. Remember Chucky the killer doll? yeah, that kind of proves my point. Well, although I do not have anything against dolls but sometimes I just find them creepy especially those antique or porcelain-like dolls. It's like they are staring at you, looking into the depths of your soul...just waiting for the right moment when you are vunerable to strike. Sounds exaggerating? Yes. But that's what my view of dolls. Probably that perception got stuck in my head due to watching too much of X-Files as a kid. Imagine watching a doll that goes round killing people when she opens her eyes and say "Let's have Fun..." Brrr.....creepy....Besides I was never the kind of girl who plays with dolls which I still think it's a good idea not to.....

They have been called the Big Boy's Toys and have made their debut in cinema for quite a fair few times. Already 2 of the most popular action figures made the box office this year - Transformers 2 and G.I.JOE. Both are seriously action pack movies with non stop kicks and punches from the start till the end of the movie. Yet these money making machines derive from the simple idea of toys. This shows us that toys are becoming not just a playthings as they once used to be. They can be something more and every step we take brings them closer to life.
From a toy, Bumblebee has evolved to producing a new special edition Chevrolet car.
Storm Shadow Vs Snake Eyes. By far the coolest characters from G.I.JOE. Snake Eyes especially is Awesome!!
This is one of the many examples of a cuddly toy that we hug=) so cute...............This is one emo teddy bear which was shown on Supernatural season 4. Who says Teddy Bears don't have emotions?
