Over the years Mars Attacks has had a few different action figure lines based on the property. The most well known being the Trendmasters line from 1996 that tied in to the Tim Burton movie and was based on the films designs. The was followed up by a wave of Martians based on the 90s Topps comic book designs which were far more EXTREME!!!! with viscious looking fang filled faces, overly muscular bodies and dynamic yet hard to stand poses.
Mezco produced a figure based on the original Topps trading card art work which is at a more adult collector standard to fit in with the likes of NECA toys.
Mars Attacks has also had multiple comic books published over the years. The 90s Topps comic which featured far different designs to try to appeal more to a 90s audience. The in the 2010s IDW picked up the license and gave us comics based far more on the original art and concept. Most recently Dynamite comics has launched their Mars Attacks comic book also using the iconic original designs.

Jurassic Park Comics UK
In 1993 a Jurassic Park comic was published in the UK by Dark Horse
International to tie in with the release of the original movie.
Reprinting the Topps comic strips from the US which began with an
adaptation of the movie and continued with original stories set before
and after the events of the film. Xenozoic Tales and Age of Reptiles
were also included, making it more of an over all dinosaur comic rather
than purely Jurassic Park. The comic lasted 16 issues, the last three of
which being distributed by Manga Comics rather than Dark Horse.
In 1997, to tie with Lost World hitting the cinemas, a second Jurassic Park comic appeared on UK shelves published by Titan. Once again reprinting US Topps comic strips. This time a comic book adaptation of the Lost World film. This title only lasted four issues.
