    description
    Bash toys are [[gameplay-feature:interactive-toys]] built to be shot: a sculpted figure planted in the line of fire that registers the hits, doing the work of a bank of [[gameplay-feature:standup-targets]] in the shape of the game's villain, monster or mascot. This was a late-1990s [[manufacturer:williams]] and [[manufacturer:bally]] staple — the genie of *[[title:tales-of-the-arabian-nights]]* (1996, Williams),[1] the pair of gophers on *[[title:no-good-gofers]]* (1997), whose ramp entrances lift to expose the bash targets behind them,[2] the flying saucer of *[[title:attack-from-mars]]* (1995, Bally) that shakes and flashes above its targets as the player batters the Martian fleet[3] — and it never went away: Optimus Prime serves as the bash toy on both of [[manufacturer:stern-pinball]]'s Transformers games, *[[title:transformers]]* (2011) and *[[title:transformers-more-than-meets-the-eye]]* (2026),[4][5] and an interactive Leatherface bash toy hangs on the kill door of [[manufacturer:spooky]]'s *[[title:the-texas-chainsaw-massacre]]*.[6]
