Earlier, I posted a collection of action figure names generated by a neural network trained on a list of about 3,700 action figures from the 1980s and 1990s, from lines including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, G.I. Joe, Transformers, and My Little Pony.

Here’s a bonus collection of more names, artisanally selected from a pile of raw neural network output by Trent Troop, who provided me with the original training dataset. (He’s an indie toy designer who blogs at therobotmonster.tumblr.com and bmogtoys.tumblr.com and https://www.facebook.com/prizeinsidetoys/ . He’s already produced Mindlick, a really weird toy from the first list)
