They adapted several games released in the early 2000s, ranging from popular titles like ''Sonic Adventure 2'' and ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', to cult classics like ''JSRF: Jet Set Radio Future'' and ''Cel Damage''. Their products were/are frequently criticized for their cheap and poor production values, with some of them looking rather ugly. In late 2002, '''two television commercials for their products aired on Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, MTV, and MTV2'''. The first commercial depicted a "behind-the-scenes" look at the Joyride team and how they make their figures. The second commercial, titled "Jailtime", depicted two employees giving a tour of the company, showing that they make their action figures by keeping video game characters trapped in glass prison cells. The characters seen are Eddie from ''SSX Tricky'', Sonic the Hedgehog, and Aiai from ''Super Monkey Ball''. While ''Jailtime'' has been recovered, the behind-the-scenes one has yet to be. The archived Joyride Studios website has links to watch/download these commercials, but unfortunately, downloading them gives you dead files.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20021211211512/http://joyridestudios.com/media.html Archived Joyride Studios website.] Retrieved 30 Jan '15</ref> On June 16th, 2022 LMW user Charmander found and uploaded the behind-the-scenes commercial to their YouTube channel. ==Gallery== ===Storyboards=== <gallery mode=packed heights=1000px> File:Joyride storyboard.png|A storyboard for the "behind-the-scenes" trailer, posted on Figures.com. </gallery> ===Figurines=== <gallery mode=packed heights=200px> File:Joyride violet.jpg|Their standalone figure of Violet from ''Cel Damage''.
