It’s been a while since I treated myself to a new box set. I love a good box set — anyone who follows my channel knows that. This month, I finally bit the proverbial bullet and picked up something I’ve had my eye on: The Dollman Toy Box – Dollman X Demonic Toys Collection (Limited Edition) from 101 Films.

Retailing at £49.99, this Blu-ray collection dropped in early October, and while I didn’t grab it directly from 101 Films (they don’t offer Clear Pay), I managed to snag it from Zavvi — a little financial trick that lets me pay in instalments without feeling the full sting all at once.

This limited-edition set packs eight films across five discs, combining cult classics from Full Moon Features into one gloriously schlocky package. Here’s what’s inside:

Dollman (1991) – Tim Thomerson stars as the gun-toting, pint-sized hero I first met on VHS decades ago.

Demonic Toys (1992) – A creepy collection of playthings gone wrong.

Dollman vs. Demonic Toys (1993) – The inevitable crossover — because of course they had to meet!

Demonic Toys 2: Personal Demons (2010)

Demonic Toys: Jack Attack (2023) – A more recent entry, clocking in at just under an hour.

Baby Oopsie (2021), Baby Oopsie 2: Murder Dolls (2022), and Baby Oopsie 3: Burn Baby Burn (2023) – A spin-off trilogy featuring the world’s most homicidal baby doll.

While some of these hover around the 50–60 minute mark, they still qualify as feature-length in spirit. Besides, for fans of Full Moon’s gleefully absurd horror, shorter runtime means less filler and more carnage.

Unboxing the set is half the fun. The collection comes in a solid, velvet feeling-lined cardboard case, sturdy enough to survive multiple watch sessions (and maybe the apocalypse). Inside are four Amaray cases and a surprisingly hefty graphic novel, Dollman Kills the Full Moon Universe — a six-issue run that ties together Full Moon favourites like Puppet Master, Castle Freak, and Head of the Family.

The book’s print quality is excellent, and the inclusion adds real value — it’s not just a throwaway extra but a legitimate collectible.

Each disc case features reversible sleeve art — new commissioned designs on one side and the original VHS-era covers on the other. For long-time fans like me, that’s a perfect nostalgic touch. While the new artwork pops visually, I can’t resist flipping mine to the originals — they remind me of late nights in the video rental store where I used to work, watching customers rent these weird and wonderful B-movies.

 

I do love special features and there are a bunch in this set ranging from behind the scenes footage, to videzone featurettes on several of the films. Dollman includes interviews and vintage featurettes, while Demonic Toys offers some excellent extras for fans of the franchise and its legendary producer, Charles Band:

Playing With His Toys – Charles Band on Demonic Toys

Strike Up the Band – Composer Richard Band discusses scoring the series

Here Comes Baby Oopsie – Director William “Billy” Butler on bringing demonic dolls to life

There’s also commentary from Charles Band and Tim Thomerson on Dollman vs. Demonic Toys, plus some archival behind-the-scenes footage from the Full Moon vaults.

At £49.99 for eight films, this set works out to about £6.25 per movie, which is excellent value — especially considering that many single-title boutique Blu-rays now cost upwards of £30–£60. The packaging is robust, the bonus comic adds weight (literally and figuratively), and for horror collectors, it’s a neat addition to the shelf.

All discs are Region B (so U.S. viewers will need a multi-region player), and the audio is PCM stereo with English subtitles only. 

The Dollman Toy Box is a charming, blood-soaked time capsule — a love letter to Full Moon’s heyday of low-budget, high-imagination horror. Sure, it’s not packed to the brim with extras, but the presentation, comic, and nostalgia factor more than make up for it.

101 Films have once again delivered a premium collector’s edition with style and substance. If you’re a fan of ‘90s video-store horror, practical effects, and killer toys, this box set is a must-own.
