The film, as reviewed already by many on this site, is a bit short. It gets on with it leaving little room for us to see built story. A hobo falls from a little child's tricycle and his head smashes the solid floor so hard his blood flows for ages, not to mention something magic about his blood "creates" four demonic dolls from thin air and little bolts of lightning. They are the same demonic dolls beleaguered cop Tracy Coggins battled in a previous film{labeled "Demonic Toys"}..a clown with a snake's tail, a baby doll with a potty mouth, an action figure with a twisted sense of rage on his face, and one of those toy robots with lasers that blast out little light rays of red. Coggins realizes that these toys are simply too small for her to reach within the toy factory ducts so she enlists the aide of alien cop from Artorous Tim Thomerson{from the film "Dollman"}and miniature nurse hottie Melissa Behr{from "Bad Channels"}to stop them once and for all. Scoggins is in this film maybe ten minutes, but is quite good in her way too limited time. Thomerson is the true reason to watch this film for he gets to blast dolls with his gun that blows things to smithereens and quip phrases like "Pop goes the weasel". Behr is here for the eye candy. The film lets us into all three crossover stories to this film's point. It's filler for a total absence of story and saves a lot of money, also. Still, it seems that everyone is having fun, but one can really see the budgetary constraints on the filmmakers when it comes to visual effects. The dolls have some large shots against Thomerson and Behr which don't match well with single takes of the dolls from afar. The film's length also shows proper lack of funding. It's clear Full Moon has always been limited somewhat by lack of budget, but always seem to provide casts with spunk. The film has a perverted sense of humor and if one likes this type of junk might really enjoy it despite how really silly it all is.

Two movies, recycled stock footage equal a sequel for both films!
Captain_Couth23 August 2005
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.

DOLLMAN VS. DEMONIC TOYS
🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑 3.1
Not as good as Demonic Toys, but not bad either. You do get to see Jack-in-the-Box out of his box a lot more, which was cool. And all of the minatures are great. Very authentic. The acting is okay to but not as good as Demonic Toys either. The effects are pretty good, but the big version of Baby Oopsie Daisy looks pretty bad from the back. Detective Gray doesn't get that much screen time, sadly, but Tim Thomerson is good as Brick Bardo, the pint sized cop from another planet. The Baby's voice is good, it's sounds a little bit more like a baby than in the other movie, but also has less flare. This film is also very short, especially without the flashback scenes. But it is still a good B-movie, so I'm recommending it to anyone interested in miniatures, and some B-movie fans too.

SEQUEL TO THREE MOVIES
nogodnomasters22 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This movie picks up about where Demonic Toys left off. A hobo (R.C. Bates) spills his blood in the same warehouse and re-animates the toys destroyed in the last film. Not only is there an alien doll man (Tim Thomerson), but now there is a doll girl (Melissa Behr) as Nurse Ginger. She originates from a third movie, "Bad Channels." Don't worry. If you haven't seen any of the three prequels to this film, they show you plenty of excepts to catch you up to date.
Judith (Tracy Scoggins) for some reason believes a 12 inch man can defeat a 12 inch doll easier than a 6 foot person. The demonic toys are aided by security guard and former Ewok, Phil Fondacaro. In a role reversal, toys want to have sex with a woman. It is short and it is what it is. You might be better off just watching the prequels knowing it gets worse. The toys are not as funny and clever as in the first film.
F-bomb, sex, no nudity.

Babes in Toy-land...
fmarkland322 March 2007
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".

Thomerson great as usual but evil baby doll steals the show
krkptr123 July 2002
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.

A FUN LITTLE FANTASY B-MOVIE THAT CONNECTS THE FULL MOON UNIVERSE
lukem-527607 November 2019
"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.

Dollman says Playtime is Over
lone-wolf-0079 October 2010
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.

Vomitron_G3 August 2010
****CAUTION: This review handles Full Moon ratings, not measured by general horror standards*****
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.

Full Moon makes another stupid movie.
Aaron137510 February 2004
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?
full moon fun
vamp8829 December 2005
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.

64 minutes long!!!!
rollersker-life1 July 2006
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!!!

Not bad, entertaining bad movie
Horrorible_Horror_Films26 April 2010
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.

Warlock-526 October 1999
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?

What A Stupid Movie!
DavyDissonance1 September 2019
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.
Not bad!

Is the Full Moon Universe a thing? If we're to take Dollman vs. Demonic Toys seriousluy, the answer is yes, as beyond getting to recycle footage from Dollman, Demonic Toys and Bad Channels, Brick Bardo (Tim Thomerson) from Dollman, Nurse Ginger (Melissa Behr) who was shrunk in Bad Channels* and Judith Grey (Tracy Scoggins) from Demonic Toys all get together to battle Baby Oopsy Daisy, Jack Attack, Mr. Static and the evil G. I. Joe figure Zombietoid.
Let me just try and explain Baby Oopsy Daisy's plan to you. As midnight draws close, a demon that has been buried in Toyland Warehouse will have its soul put inside his baby doll form, then he will impregnate Nurse Ginger, eat the shell of their child and become a human.
If you check out the Full Moon anthology The Haunted Dollhouse, you can see a cut down remix of this entitled "Dangerous Toys." Seeing as how this entire movie is just a bunch of other movies put together, you really have to be amazed by how small the carbon footprint of Full Moon is.
*Never mind that Bunny was the one that really got shrunk.

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!!!
Rent this junk and you'll get what you deserve.
Vegie12 September 1998
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.
Horrid movie with a beautiful actress
stefanozucchelli26 March 2022
This movie is stupendously horrendous. It doesn't make any sense, a psychedelic storyline, some really inexperienced actresses, a chilling villain and a hard boiled protagonist who clashes with the rest of the film. I am not surprised that it has become a cult movie. The horrid always attracts the public.
Not very cheesy, I think clever film.
mrkwang21 September 2000
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.
You don't need spoiler alerts when dealing with crazy

The best movie made by Full Moon Productions, but like not by much. It's like three or four different Full Moon Productions franchises smashed together in a sort of fever dream or maybe they just ran out of ideas and cut-and-paste their way to a complete screenplay? Its a mystery. I like mysteries.
Sequel wars
peterpants6621 July 2010
Warning: Spoilers
The Full-Moon film company is one of the best there is at making horror/Sci-Fi films often less then ninety minutes loaded with trailers and special features at the end, that is while still being on VHS, to say they were ahead of their time is an understatement. Who actually put the money up for these projects? That is a book that should most definitely be written. This gut-buster is the sequel to three, count'm THREE other movies, could this be the first? Hopefully not the last. Tim Thomerson plays the futuristic cop from outer space that is only about a foot-high. Does that mean he can't handle himself on earth with the average human being at least five times his own height? Hell no, he shoots them in half with his huge Magnum! The movie, in somewhat typical sequel fashion is LOADED with clips from the first Dollman, with minimal re-clipping on the other two. This actually works in a way, and if you go into it with no information about the initial releases you'll be fine. Visionaaaaaaaaries! Ten stars, own this!
I really enjoyed this and found it very entertaining.

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.
The Diminutive Duel Disappoints
LanceBrave5 November 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I'm not sure what inspired Charles Band to pair up Dollman and the Demonic Toys. Maybe neither rip-off proved popular enough to headline solo sequels. Either way, in 1993, the tiny titans faced off. For good measure, Ginger, the miniaturized nurse from 1992's "Bad Channels," is also thrown in. This is mostly so Brick Bardo can have an appropriately sized love interest. The two even get a little loving, sharing a sex scene in a kitchen drawer.
"Dollman vs. Demonic Toys" is cheaper then either original. Since Dollman is in-scale with the Toys, Tim Thomerson has to interact with oversized props, which look fine, or actors in cheesy costumes, which don't. The toy warehouse and kitchen sets, filled with giant accessories, are neat though. The cheapness comes from the extensive stock footage. Obviously, this fills in people who haven't seen the previous installments. Knowing penny-pinching Charlie Band though, this was mostly done to save cash. Band actually directs this one and his direction is flat and television-like. The box lists the film as 72 minutes long. This includes the ten-minute VideoZone and ten minutes of credits. The actual film is only 52 minutes long, barely classifying as a feature.
The diminutive duel disappoints. None of the toys prove a match for Brick, each blasted away with ease. A clumsy, bleeding hobo resurrects the evil playthings without further explanation. Grizzly Teddy is replaced with a killer G.I. Joe doll named Zombietoid. You wouldn't think this would matter but it does, especially since he goes down easily. Baby Oopsy-Daisy had an agreeably raspy voice first go-around. Here, Frank Welker provides the voice, a high-pitched, annoying nasally whine. None of the Baby's new dialogue is as amusing either. Half the runtime is wasted setting up the premise, painfully sealing away every plot point from each previous film. The Toy's plan proves half-baked, their demon master staying off-screen this time.
Thomerson sleep-walks through his role, obviously fed up with Full Moon's shenanigans at this point. Tracy Scoggins and her tight t-shirt return, just to die half-way through. The actress seems relieved to go. Full Moon's favorite short person Phil Fondacaro, who horror fans might recognize from "Land of the Dead" and, uh, "Double, Double, Toil and Trouble," plays the warehouse security guard. Like the previous one, he enjoys girlie magazines. Unlike the previous one, Phil kills hookers for the toys, a plot point that goes nowhere. Only Melissa Behr is on the material's level. She doesn't get naked but the movie never hesitates to put her in various skimpy outfits. I'm disappointed "Dollman vs. Demonic Toys" is so lackluster, considering the parent films were guilty pleasures. No wonder Brick Bardo and Ginger would never be seen again, the Demonic Toys not returning until Full Moon's recent, bad, cheap days.
"Dollman vs. Demonic Toys" is cheaper then either original. Since Dollman is in-scale with the Toys, Tim Thomerson has to interact with oversized props, which look fine, or actors in cheesy costumes, which don't. The toy warehouse and kitchen sets, filled with giant accessories, are neat though. The cheapness comes from the extensive stock footage. Obviously, this fills in people who haven't seen the previous installments. Knowing penny-pinching Charlie Band though, this was mostly done to save cash. Band actually directs this one and his direction is flat and television-like. The box lists the film as 72 minutes long. This includes the ten-minute VideoZone and ten minutes of credits. The actual film is only 52 minutes long, barely classifying as a feature.
