Legacy
Aspects of the show, such as newly created characters, or art style, was later implement in future video games Earthworm Jim 3D and Earthworm Jim: Menace 2 the Galaxy. Two Earthworm Jim comic book series, in the US and UK, were also created to tie in to the animated series.
A line of action figures based on the show was released by Playmates. The series included several variants of Earthworm Jim, as well as Peter Puppy, Princess Whats-Her-Name, Bob the Killer Goldfish, #4, Evil the Cat, Hench Rat, Major Mucus and Psycrow. A mountable "pocket rocket" was also available as well as a rare mail-in repainted figure of Earthworm Jim in a green suit. A second series of figures was planned, but ultimately canceled - it would have included Queen Slug-for-a-butt, Professor Monkey-for-a-head and The Hamstinator among others.
In April of 2008, a new Earthworm Jim television series was announced, however, so far, nothing has resulted from this announcement.
