Reptar is on Its Last Legs.
Children who grew up watching Rugrats in the 1990s will remember Tommy’s favorite toy, Reptar, as soon as they see him. Reptar, on the other hand, appears to have triggered a backlash against the series. In truth, the character was OK until he began to appear on Rugrats merchandise and in other contexts outside of the show itself.
In 2002, Toho, the corporation responsible for Godzilla, filed a lawsuit against Klasky-Csupo, the company responsible for the Rugrats cartoon series. Even as the choice was being kept a secret, the much-loved figure from the 1990s began to slip away.
