Ever wanted to see a movie that was like Toy Story meets the Marvel cinematic universe? The Losman Productions YouTube channel has just the thing for you.

Since 2013, Losman Productions has been telling a long, interconnected narrative about the conflicts between toys in a house, with battles taking place while the owner, Stefan, is away. There are multiple series, each focusing on a different character in the Losman Productions universe.

Spider-Man was the first hero to get stop motion action figure video treatment, with a story that feels like a blockbuster action movie version and Buzz Lightyear and Woody's relationship from the first Toy Story movie. Spider-Man is the new toy in town. However, the classic G.I. Joe action figure that was Stefan's first favorite toy isn't thrilled with the idea of being replaced and decides to take matters into his own plastic hands.

The second video series follows Iron Man and has the hero battling his greatest enemy, himself. The story kicks off when Stefan brings home his second Iron Man action figure and talks about starting a collection. Stefan's first Iron Man figure doesn't like the sound of that and does his best to get rid of the new Iron Man. The new Iron Man recovers and discovers an Iron Man comic book that reveals the character's true potential. That knowledge physically transforms the new Iron Man from a plastic toy into a fully functional version of the Avenger. The newfound power allows the new Iron Man to defeat his rival, but the first episode ends with the first Iron Man discovering the same comic and the same power.

The most recent addition to Losman's action figure series lineup is Batman, which debuted its first episode in March. The episode sees the new Batman figure, based on The Dark Knight, searching for his Batpod. After finding it, he takes the Batpod for a ride around the neighborhood and is noticed by the Joker and Harley Quinn. Joker and Harley can't resist causing trouble, and a fight ensues. There's also cameos from Deadpool and the Hulk, and the latter doesn't end well for the Joker.

Losman also released a series of tutorial videos showing how he creates his stop motion videos and how others can do that same.

Losman has created some quality videos in this series. It's enough to make you wish Marvel and/or DC Comics would kick off their own series of big budget stop-motion superhero movies.
