** Notably averted following the release of ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' and the toylines that immediately followed it. While normally Creator/{{Hasbro}} has a standard stable of [[PaletteSwap repaints of characters]] it normally uses, due to the sudden name recognition of certain characters (such as Optimus Prime or Bumblebee), the toys would generally be repainted as [[EnvironmentSpecificActionFigure alternate versions of the same character]] rather than a new character such as Ultra Magnus or Cliffjumper respectively.

* In ''VideoGame/MegaManX'', χ-kai- started off as a character exclusive to the Truforce Collectibles toy line before making the jump to VideoGame/MegaManXDive. Rush Jagt, however, wasn’t as lucky and remains a toyline-exclusive.

[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGoodDinosaur'': In large part due to the movie's TroubledProduction, a significant number of characters appear only in the toy line (the film itself has a meagre cast). This includes a pair of blue ''Triceratops'' brothers named Will and Sam, a brown ''Ankylosaurus'' named Jack and his orange sister Vivian, and a green ''Stegosaurus'' named Mary Alice.

* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'': The Trendmasters ''King of the Monsters''/''Godzilla Force'' toyline has Godzilla Force, and its members David Easton, Peter Richards, Margaret O'Brien, and Michael Van Horn, a group of human commandos wearing ''Franchise/PowerRangers''-style helmets, based on G-Force from ''Film/GodzillaVsMechagodzillaII''. Both groups fly a Garuda ship.

Both groups fly a Garuda ship. To a lesser extent, it is to date still the only toyline that came up with original designs for the various different kaiju (such as having a Biollante with ''two feet'') rather than strictly adhering to the designs established in the film, cartoons, comics, or other media.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'': Although there was an entire story arc with Garfield reuniting with his extended family, his father was nowhere to be seen or was even mentioned here or in any adaptations (outside of a vague line about Garfield coming from "a long line of bachelors"). A few rare Father's Day-themed merchandise show Garfield embracing a framed picture of a grey cat with glasses however. ''WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldMovie'' also portrays Garfield's father, but he looks nothing like the version depicted in this merchandise.
