    Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) episode 180: The Incredible Crash Dummies... or "Crash Test Dummies" if you prefer (not the 90s band). The game was published by LJN (on the NES) and was based on the cartoon, based on the public service announcements, based on the actual real-world crash test dummies that are used in car safety tests. This NES game was released in 1993 when the next gen systems were already in full swing. This game is for other systems too, like the SNES and Genesis, but The Nerd wanted to focus on the original Nintendo game by his least favorite game publisher.

    5:32 Holy crap, I remember I had Bull as a kid, and he was the dummy whose limbs you had to pull off manually, rather than the spring-loaded ones that eject with the button. When playing with my other action figures I'd always pretend he was the "friend of the good guys" who got slowly dismembered by the bad guy (usually Mr. Sinister), and that would motivate the good guys to eventually hunt down the bad guy at the end of my make-believe narrative. Good fricking times.

Classic.

      I thought that was a Canadian PSA? War Amps is Canadian if I recall correctly.

    They should’ve made Mortal Kombat figures with the same features as these crash dummies toys where the limbs fall off. Think about it, Mortal Kombat Fatalities as action figures. That would’ve been a great idea if you ask me!

      Make sense. Kill Bill had action figures that can apart and bled.
