In June 1995, Galoob announced that they had won the license from Turner to release Jonny Quest toys, and that they would launch a line of action figures and other toys for the new series.The San Francisco Chronicle: "Galoob Wins License". June 20, 1995. (Archived at Newsbank.) "South San Francisco-based Lewis Galoob Toys Inc. said it has won the toy license from Turner Broadcasting System Inc.'s upcoming ``The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest animated television series."

"Turner Home Entertainment has licensed the rights to Hanna-Barbera's Jonny Quest cartoon character to Lewis Galoob Toys Inc."The Tampa Tribune: "Turner licenses Quest rights to toy maker". July 9, 1995. (Archived at Newsbank. This was part of a "$100 million-plus marketing and merchandising drive for the new The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest".The Hollywood Reporter: "TV NOTES".

Plans are in the works for "Jonny Quest" action figures, toys, videos, video games and books and more."
The toys came out in the fall of 1996, corresponding with the release of The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest television series.The Morning Call: "TOY STORY: FROM ANGEL BARBIE TO ELECTRONICS, MANUFACTURERS CONCENTRATE ON UPDATING TRIED AND TRUE FOR '96" by Jodi Ducket. March 7, 1996. (Archived at Newsbank, login required.) "Its hard to tell which of the new licensed lines will sell. Some are betting on Galoob's "Jonny Quest" line, which will hit the shelves this fall with the launch of Turner Home Entertainment's "The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest," and "Action Man," the No. 1 action figure in Europe, which Kenner is bringing to America."
In 1997, Galoob discontinued its Jonny Quest toy line – along with all its male action toy lines – to focus exclusively on its Star Wars toys.Kidscreen, Galoob sticks with Star Wars by Kidscreen Staff. December 1, 1997. "Galoob is discontinuing all the male action lines introduced over the last two years because it does not want to compete against itself and the profitable Star Wars franchise, which it calls its ‘most important asset.’ Discontinued lines include Dragonflyz, Jonny Quest and Sky Dancers."
