Nickelodeon Toys


This is a list of toys created by the popular children's television network Nickelodeon.

Compounds

A number of molding substances for children's play were created and sold by the American children's television channel Nickelodeon and toy company Mattel in the 1990s. Like most molding compounds, they could be kept in their container to retain plasticity, or molded and allowed to harden overnight. They featured a wide variety of compounds with different attributes.

[Fisher-Price] (1986–1991)

Green Slime

Nickelodeon's first compound, whose idea was first taken from the classic Nickelodeon show You Can't Do That on Television. Nickelodeon Slime was first manufactured in the 1980s. Nickelodeon slime was sold again in Fall 2008 but was released by Jakks Pacific. It was released again in March 2012 along with Gak and Floam. In 2017, they were all rereleased with logo changes, and can be found at Walmart.

Green Slime Shampoo

Green Slime Shampoo was the first soap-related compound based on You Can't Do That on Television. Its premise was to "get slimed in your own shower". It had green shampoo that got you clean instead of getting slimed. This was also featured as a prize on a few episodes of Double Dare.

Green Slime Liquid Soap

Green Slime Liquid Soap was another soap-related compound based on You Can't Do That on Television, but it was less popular than its predecessor, Green Slime Shampoo. It was introduced as an introductory free-pack if the predecessor was bought from the TV offer.

[Mattel] (1992–present)

Nickelodeon DVD Bingo

Nickelodeon DVD Bingo is a DVD board game version of usual Bingo released in 2006. The DVD is narrated by SpongeBob, the titular character of SpongeBob SquarePants. On the BINGO cards, they have 5 lines with the letters that spell BINGO and the letters are different colours. In each box on each of the bingo boards, characters from the following Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. shows listed down below are featured.

Even though these were the Nickelodeon shows that all these characters were from, all the characters from LazyTown alongside Joe from Blue's Clues each had a 2D cartoon appearance instead of their traditional live-action/puppetry/CGI appearance. During the game, there are also WILD clips, where the players watch short clips from various Nickelodeon or Nick Jr. shows. Wild calls are color specific; for example, if the player watches a SpongeBob clip, and at the end of it, a yellow wild screen appears, the player can place a chip on any yellow space that doesn't already have a chip on it.

Gak

Nickelodeon/Mattel's most popular compound; the idea was taken from the Nickelodeon show Double Dare and Wham-O's Super Stuff from the mid-1960s. The original edition was manufactured in 1992, and then re-issued in 1994 for the Nickelodeon Deluxe Gift Set which included one of Nickelodeon Gak and two canisters of Nickelodeon Floam. It was marketed on the fact that, unlike most of the compounds, it made a "fart" noise when squeezed into its clear, star-shaped container. Gak returned to store shelves with modern-day Nickelodeon branding in 2012 and 2017; both 2010s incarnations were produced by NSI International.
The name "gak" had previously been used by Marc Summers and the Double Dare crew to refer to slime used on the show. The name had originated as a street term for heroin. This was a source of amusement behind the scenes of Double Dare when Nickelodeon used the term for the toy Gak, unaware of its origin in drug culture.

Floam Factory
The Floam Factory is a playset that you can make Floam shapes and patterns to make Floam creations. It includes one bed to lay the Floam on, various pockets to insert Floam in to make shapes. and 4 rollers and a hand roller to roll patterns in. Four other Floam colors are included.

Zog Logs

Zog Logs were mini multi-colored logs made out of some material so it can be cut, bent, shaped, and attached to other structures to make various forms and shapes. This was first released in 1995.

Smud

Smud was a Nickelodeon/Mattel compound that was much like Play-Doh, but was slicker, firmer, and more clay-like than Gak. It came in colors varying from Blue, Green, Pink, and Purple. It was marketed under the idea that unlike the previous compounds, it would not dry out if left out of its container. Each pack of Smud came with its own mold, in the commercial, called a "Geronimold".

Sqand

Sqand, or "Magic sand", begins as ordinary sand, but is dyed and coated in a hydrophobic substance. This allows each particle to stay dry in water, so that underwater the sand appears not to have the same properties that any other sand has while wet: its cohesive force was greater than its adhesive force to water, so it preferred to stick together in surrealistically tall forms, rather than spread out as expected. When taken out of water Squand immediately returned to normal looking, dry sand. Mattel sold it off quickly. Originally marketed in 1991, it was later sold off, being re-branded without Nickelodeon trademarks today; first by RoseArt in 1995, and again being renamed "Aqua Sand", mainly directed at girls.

Zzand

Zzand is a modeling compound very similar to Play-Doh, however, its defining feature is the sand distributed throughout it It is notorious for being extremely messy, and the default color is green.

[Jakks Pacific]/Flying Colors (1999–2004)

Goooze

A Nickelodeon/Flying Colors/Jakks Pacific compound similar to Gak but almost transparent. It was made to promote Double Dare 2000. Besides the regular Goooze, there were other variations of it such as Glow-In-The-Dark Goooze, Scented Goooze, and Glitter Goooze. In later years, Goooze was sold as "Goooze Toons" which had a Nicktoons character with Goooze included to put in the character and watch it ooze out when opened. This, along with Gak Splat Balls were the most popular compounds that Jakks Pacific and Flying Colors made.
In 2014, this compound was revived by Spin Master without any Nickelodeon branding under the "Goozerk" name as part of its "Wacky-tivities" brand line.

Gak Splat Balls

A Nickelodeon/Flying Colors compound that is not like Gak in its properties, but shares a similar name. It resembles a cross between Gak and Goooze and unlike other compounds, it was not moldable, having a ball shape. Often it was packaged with a mitt of the same substance for playing catch.
This can be found sometimes on eBay. This, along with Goooze, were one of the most popular toys that Jakks Pacific/Flying Colors made.
Also the first compound to be released under the "Nick-tivities" banner. All compounds following were released under the same banner.

Smatter

A Nickelodeon/Flying colors compound that is Nickelodeon's alternative to "Silly String". It came in different colors, and different varieties such as Smatter Blaster, Spit Smatter, and Fatter Smatter; which if you got a lot in your hand, it would grow. However, it was voluntarily recalled in 2003 due to incidents where the aerosol cans forcefully broke apart, resulting in a laceration injury to a consumer and several incidents involving property damage.
In 2014, Spin Master revived this product without Nickelodeon branding as "Spatter" under their "Wacky-tivities" banner. The only significant difference from Smatter is that the compound doesn't grow.

Skweeez

A modeling compound that was like Play-Doh but had a more Marshmallow-like feel. It was sold in sets with Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. characters like SpongeBob and Blue's Clues. The squeezable pouch that Skweeez was packaged in had a zipper on the top so that it could be used again.

Splish Splat!

A Nickelodeon and Flying Colors/Jakks Pacific compound that was released in 2004. Splish Splat was also highly similar to Nickelodeon Gak, which was released in the years prior. Splish Splat! was also a tie in to the Nickelodeon game show airing at the time, Nickelodeon Splat!, where it was used on the contestants during the show's activities.
