Numerous action figures (some with digital sound chips)
Models
AND
A video game for the Atari 2600, I don’t know the dates OTTOMH, but this game couldn’t have been released more than a few years after the movie was released.
AFAIK- No hardware company has ver made an official Leatherface model chainsaw. However, I know that in later films the prop was modified into ‘The Excalibur Chainsaw’ and was no longer practical or safe to use for actual cutting.
Many horror movies are heavily merchandised, largely due to demand by fans. The only reason I didn’t jump on an earlier post about an Exorcist actiong figure is that it specified a production date simultaneous with the release of the film.
I’ll give ya some props for that one, adam. 
That was the first thing that popped into my mind, too. Definitely the funniest thing in Waiting for Guffman.
I actually had a Yellow Submarine lunchbox when I was little.
Matchbox or one of the other toy car companies made a Yellow Submarine when the movie was released. IIRC it had a pop up periscope.
Wolf Man corn flakes: “The cereal that eats you!”
Star Wars Deluxe Edition time machine: “Don’t like how your day turned out? Go back and change it. (Takes 1600 AA batteries)”
The Wolf Man and the rest of the Universal Studios Monsters ARE as heavily merchandised as star wars. From the original release of the films continuing to the present there have been- comic books, models, more models, costumes, make up kits, deluxe masks, posters, more posters, action figures, PEZ dispensers, cereal box premiums, rings, t-shirts, lunch boxes, merchandising tie-ins with cereals and cookies, and candies, candies made in monsters shapes, official USM cookies, official USM fruit snacks, and going with recent trends from Japan- USM Kubricks (think of the action figures that come in Lego sets), and trading figurines (small statuettes which come in tiny boxes. There’s no way to know which figure you’ll get until you open it).
Cand I buy a Wolf Man figure with missile glider cape? No. But in the old line I can pick between regular and with glow in the dark face. In the most recent line I can pick between regular, black-and-white, bobblehead, black and whiet bobblehead, keychain, or black and white keychain.
When does anybody in Star Wars use a time machine?
I realized that you might be trying to make a point that Vader never used a missile-firing-glider cape either. However, the idea of an article of clothing is that becomes a missile-firing-glider is not out of line with the Star Wars universe in general, and especially not out of line with the junior toy line this figure is a part of. Jango and Boba Fett both wear armor which can deploy glider wings, and does fire missiles.
Vader doesn’t use a missile-firing-glider cape not because it would clash with technology or tactics shown in the film, but because it doesn’t fit his personality. He doesn’t show up and personally destroy the enemy. He sends in a bunch of stormtroopers.
Sorry if I wasn’t more explicit. I was referring to George Lucas and his remakes/changing of the original…like all of a sudden, “Hal did not fire first!”
Nice when you can redo things to your liking…that’s what I meant.

There is a fan edited version of Episode 1 which cuts any mention of midichlorians, virgin birth, and has the Gungans speaking in an alien language which is subtitled. It’s called The Phantom Edit. It’s illegal and Lucas hates it. But copies can be found at conventions and on various sites.
