It is far in time when Demonic Toys (1992), written and produced by Charles Band and directed by Peter Manoogian, became a hit direct-to-video film. It never became a big saga, but it spawned into a series of sequels, Dollman vs. Demonic Toys (1993), Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys (2004), and Demonic Toys: Personal Demons (2010), this last one being the first film of the franchise directed by William Butler.
