Story

At the beginning of the film toymaker, Heartland Playsystems is acquired by the multinational conglomerate Globotech Industries, which is expanding from manufacturing war material into more profitable consumer markets. Everyone at Heartland is fired except for two employees:a slick executive named Larry Benson (Jay Mohr) and the not so charismatic scientist Irwin Wayfair (David Cross), the two men responsible for developing the most popular toy in Heartland's history. Globotech CEO Gil Mars (Denis Leary), pays a visit to Heartland to meet with Larry and Irwin concerning their newest projects. Irwin offers up the Gorgonites, peaceful aliens whose mission is to gather information about Earth, prompting children to learn with them. Mars is not sold on the idea of educational toys, so Larry presents the Commando Elite, a special task force of action figures. Larry's video presentation is well-done, with the soldiers bursting out of their packaging and delivering one-liners, but when asked about this, he explains that it's only for show, the toys cannot actually act the way they do in the promo. Mars says that he wants action figures that are true to their commercials and charges the pair with the task of developing these new "smart toys". He also wants an enemy for the Commando Elite, and despite Irwin's objections, Mars chooses the ugly looking Gorgonites. The Gorgonites are subsequently designated to automatically lose any fight with the Commando Elite.
