After the last film failed to make an impact, this one goes in a completely different direction, with killer toys that seem to deliver themselves. None other than Mickey Rooney stars in this film (who denounced the original film), making his auspicious Nutshell debut in the oddest of roles, as toymaker Joe Petto. This one shares more in common with Puppet Master or Demonic Toys, which brings me great joy. Sadly, it ended just when it was getting interesting.
