===Licensed products=== [[File:Jo-Jo0736.jpg|thumb|Advertisement for Dick Tracy Rapid-Fire Tommy Gun]] In the 1960s, [[Aurora Plastics Corporation|Aurora]] produced a plastic model kit of Dick Tracy sliding down a fire escape ladder into an alley, in hot pursuit with gun drawn. A Dick Tracy Space Coupe model came next. Both have been reissued by Polar Lights. Also in the market were Mattel's Dick Tracy range of [[toy gun]]s.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjS2pPCyUSk TV Advertisement]</ref> In 1990, [[Playmates Toys]] released a line of action figures called ''Dick Tracy: Coppers and Gangsters'' to coincide with the Dick Tracy movie. The figures were 5" tall, stylized with exaggerated comic looks and was accompanied by many accessories.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.virtualtoychest.com/dicktracy/dicktracy.html |title=Dick Tracy: Coppers and Gangsters |access-date=February 8, 2011 |archive-date=March 9, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110309031157/http://www.virtualtoychest.com/dicktracy/dicktracy.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> Two figures in the line had limited availability; Steve the Tramp (called "The Tramp" on the package front) was pulled from the assortment after complaints of portrayal of a homeless person as a criminal. The figure of "The Blank" was added to the assortment well after the film's release to keep the secret of the identity of the character. As a result, only limited quantities of these two figures made it to store shelves. Various distinct video games tied in with the film were developed. [[Titus Software]] did versions many platforms including Amiga, Commodore and MS-DOS. ''[[Dick Tracy (video game)|Dick Tracy]]'' is a side scrolling action shooting game. The player controls Dick Tracy through five stages.<ref>Mobygames: [http://www.mobygames.com/game/dick-tracy__ Dick Tracy]</ref> The Commodore 64 version is infamous for being released in an unfinished state (minimal animation for the main character, missing headlines in the linking screens, flick scrolling), and scored Commodore Format magazine's lowest ever review score of 11%. There were also games made for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] (1990), [[Master System]] (1990), [[Sega Genesis]] (1990), and [[Game Boy]] (1991).,<ref>[http://www.mobygames.com/search/quick?q=Dick+Tracy Mobygames]</ref> and a graphic adventure for MS-DOS and the Amiga. In 2009, [[Shocker Toys]] released a [[monochromatic]] Dick Tracy action figure as an exclusive product for [[San Diego Comic-Con]]. The figure appears in a suit with two-way wrist radio. There was also a variant figure released of Dick Tracy in his signature trench coat and fedora with a [[tommy gun]] accessory.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.shockertoys.com/ |title=Shocker Toys |access-date=February 8, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110207235940/http://www.shockertoys.com/ |archive-date=February 7, 2011 |url-status=usurped }}</ref>
