Kenner Action Figures

The Kenner Action Figures were series of action figures based on Gargoyles released by Kenner in 1995 before being discontinued in 1997.

In 1993, Kenner met with Greg Weisman and pointed out their main concerns for the toy line included (among others) that there was a lack of significant vehicles for both the protagonists and antagonists, that the Trio and Bronx didn't look heroic (i.e. aggressive) enough, and that the key human ally (Elisa) and key evil gargoyle (Demona) were, in fact, both female. [1]

Characters from the Avalon World Tour weren't given figures as Kenner preferred to focus on characters appearing in a larger percentage of the series.[2] Goliath's Eye of Odin induced form from "Eye of the Storm" was implemented to provide them with another toy, but Kenner didn't use the concept.[3]

Greg Weisman has personally wished that Kenner had also made an Angela figure. [4]

All four commercials can be found here.
