When marketing a film, it's important to keep a few things in mind when it comes to merchandise. First and foremost, does this product make sense in regards to the movie? Secondly, should we be marketing this film and its products to children? Last but not least, is this product even worth making and would anyone actually be interested in owning it? We're not sure if these questions didn't cross developers minds when they came out with the following movie tie-in products or if they simply seemed like good ideas at the time, but in either case, please enjoy the plethora of weird headed your way.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" Christian Grey Teddy Bear
