All toys here are either Bland Name Product versions of real toys/toy franchises, or completely made up by me. Except Tarik's helmet, which is (a bit simplified) this insane thing!
By the way, the next comic will be online one day earlier than usual!
Yay Short Circuit! But those look like a cross between Johnny 5 and the creepy thing that came out of the crater in that really old War of the Worlds film.
This is the first I've heard of Spock's Helmet, it truly is insane! lol! Link dead so:

...It would have been fun when I was little though.
I love the toys here - Shuriken Tortoise, Your Tiny Horsies, and Marine Jim - these seem somehow familiar to some toys I might have played with as a child. :D
Though I also like the bizarre toys with no real counterparts that I came up with...
- What the heck are the toys named Cheese!!! and Thing supposed to be?? (Could be board games perhaps...)
- Slender - is that a toy Slender Man??
- Ibex - is this just an action figure of the goat-like alpine animal?
- The Mausoleum at Harlikarnassos - a model kit from the 7 Wonders of the World collection! Get them all!
- And last but not least, the Australia play set! I imagine a huge baseplate in the shape of the continent, plus a few Australia-themed action figures. (E.g. some marsupials, an Aboriginal Australian, a Crocodile Dundee-like character...)
Unfortunately it looks like they might be sold out of the other models in the 7 Wonders of the World collection. I'd like to try my hand at building the Colossus of Rhodes.
Australia may also contain a replica of the Sydney Opera House as well, and there could be a companion game called The Great Barrier Reef (sold separately). :)
(Though strangely, I know no-one who is nostalgic for "Cheese!!!", "Slender" "Ibex" or the awesome "Australia" playset...)
Family resemblance... or are there just too many fans of Short Circuit working in robotics labs?
(BTW, this was way before I ever came up with Timmy's ToyCo, but nowadays my headcanon is that this was yet another faulty ToyCo product...)

Perhaps Thing is a companion toy to Thingmaker.
