A soft "reboot" of the series attempts to recruit some B-listers to class up the joint. This is not a good film, but if you're comparing it to the ones that directly preceded it, it's a fucking work of art. It replaces the design of the puppets with worse ones, but the production value is high and there is an attempt at dark humor, even though it falls flat. It reminds me more of the attempts to reboot The Toxic Avenger or Leprechaun, which loses all of what made the originals great. Unfortunately, it makes the same mistake as Puppet Master II by making Toulon and the puppets evil, rather than the agents of good.
Plans to continue this offshoot fell through, so it reverted back to the original series and this remains just another "entry" without continuity to the next.
