Bigger than Peyton Manning being drafter to Indianapolis (thank you, Google!), bigger than The Undertaker being drafter to RAW… (remember his reaction?)
ToyFarce is a parody/satire page about the world of toys and collectibles. In an incredible turn of event during the Toy Draft of 2021 (yay, sports!), Jay C and Toy News International decided to join forces with ToyFarce to try to bring some laughter in a world of toy-related sadness, delays and unattainable exclusives.

REVIEW: MCFARLANE TOYS DC MULTIVERSE YEAR 2 - PART 1!
This week, we’re gonna continue what we started last year, with the big reviews on multiple waves of McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse figures.
TOYFARCE REVIEWS:
MCFARLANE TOYS DC MULTIVERSE YEAR 2 - PART 1!
It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!
This week, we’re gonna continue what we started earlier this year, with the big reviews on multiple waves of McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse figures. The reason is just that I have a huge backlog of pictures of figures that I have taken throughout the year, and wanted to post them at some point, when there is some downtime between deliveries. New stuff will be back next week!
Here are links for the ones from last year: https://www.toyfarce.com/news/review-mcfarlane-toys-dc-multiverse-wave-1 , https://www.toyfarce.com/news/mcfarlane-toys-dc-multiverse-year-1-part-2 , https://www.toyfarce.com/news/review-mcfarlane-toys-dc-multiverse-year-1-part-3
The last figures we checked in ‘Year one - part 3’ were the Flashpoint Batman and Red Hood figures, so we’ll pick up right where we left off with the Batcycle, which came out in early 2021.
BATCYCLE
This version of the Batcycle was taken from the Dark Nights: Death Metal comic book. McFarlane Toys seems to be doing great when it comes to vehicles, which are affordable and look awesome. That bike has a ton of nice details, and looks pretty much like what your bike would look like if you wanted to disguise it as a skeleton bat!
RANDOM FIGURES WAVE
This wave didn’t really have a theme, so we’ll call it the ‘Random Figures wave’. A Dark Nights: Death Metal Batman, a giant Robin, a Red Son Superman and the Drowned from Dark Nights: Metal, to complete the Dark Multiverse gang.
BATMAN: LAST KNIGHT ON EARTH WAVE (with BANE build-a-figure)
Finally, a wave with a theme! This entire wave is based on the comic book “Last Knight on Earth” which saw Batman wake up in an asylum, being told that all of his Batman adventures never happened, and he had been in a mental institution the whole time, imagining them. Of course, it’s Batman, so he’ll escape and try to get to the bottom of it. Great story!
BATMAN - DESIGNED BY TODD MCFARLANE
I forgot to take a picture of the packaging. I brought shame upon my family.
DARK NIGHTS: DEATH METAL WAVE (with DARKFATHER build-a-figure)
Another comic book drawn by Greg Capullo means another wave of McFarlane Toys figures (the prophecy!). Dark Nights: Death Metal was the sequel to Dark Nights: Metal. More Dark Multiverse characters, more dark versions of Batman, and even a soundtrack full of big metal band names to accompany it.
BATMAN: WHITE KNIGHT BATCYCLE
Finishing on a high note, that Batcycle is an amazing toy. The front wheel can be “cocked”, so you can extend the front a bit more to make it longer. The Batman: White Knight comic book already had some of the best figures from McFarlane Toys, and now it also has the best vehicle.
And that covers the first half of 2021! Going forward, I might skip more figures, and the next wave I’ll review will be the Suicide Squad movie wave with the King Shark B.A.F.! Can’t wait to get my hands on those, that King Shark figure looks really fun.
More news at 11:00… THAT’S A LOT OF PLASTIC!

HASBRO PULSE MONITOR: A NEW PRODUCT?
BREAKING NEWS:
HASBRO PULSE MONITOR: A NEW PRODUCT?
The Hasbro Pulse Con 2021 occured on friday and saturday, and there were many awesome action figures reveals. Mighty Morphing Power Rangers monsters, Ghostbusters proton packs, more G.I.Joe characters, X-Men the animated series figures and Weezer playing songs made us wonder for a second “Wait, what year is this?”, but overall it was a great event! We had a watch-along with some friends in the community and had a good time. Another event is scheduled on 10/27, but only for Pulse premium members.
ToyFarce heard from an anonymous source (don’t worry, Robert G., you secret is safe with me!) that Hasbro might reveal a new product during that event: the Hasbro Pulse Monitor!
The Hasbro Pulse Monitor will be a wearable device that syncs to your Hasbro Pulse app, with several never-before-seen features, such as:
- Reminders to not miss any items when they ‘drop’, or to remind you to ‘FOMO’ on Haslab projects.
- Checking your heartrate/body temperature after you miss a pre-order to evaluate if you need to get help to cope with it. A therapist will be available at all time in the app.
- Spousal alerts*, to warn your significant other if you spent more than expected. If you heart rate rises up when placing your orders, an automatic notification will be sent. (* This feature can be disabled at any moment).
- Alexa enabled, to automatically order tissues and play comforting music if you miss out on something. Just say “Alexa, I missed a pre-order” and we’ll take care of the rest.
No info on how the device will look like yet. Release date not communicated yet.
Special thanks to Robert Gines, ToyFarce Super Fan on Facebook, for the idea and the mock ups!

REVIEW: FIGMA SILENT HILL 2 RED PYRAMID THING AND BUBBLE HEAD NURSE (RE-ISSUE)
This week, we’re taking a look at the re-releases of the Silent Hill 2 figures from Figma, namely, the Red Pyramid Thing (or Pyramid Head, for his friends), and the Bubble Head Nurse, which were originally released in 2015.

FIGMA SILENT HILL 2 RED PYRAMID THING AND BUBBLE HEAD NURSE (RE-ISSUE)
It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!
This week, we’re taking a look at the re-releases of the Silent Hill 2 figures from Figma, namely, the Red Pyramid Thing (or Pyramid Head, for his friends), and the Bubble Head Nurse, which were originally released in 2015. The game celebrated its 20th anniversary last month (Damn, I am old), and is one of my favorite games of the genre. I played that game through and through, got all of the endings (the ‘Dog’ one being the best one), and have been listening to the soundtrack for apparently 2 decades. Talking about the soundtrack, here’s a song for while you’re browsing the pictures!
First off, Red Pyramid Thing (or Pyramid Head, for his friends), comes with his Great Knife, a spear, an extra neck piece for the spear, extra hands and the usual articulated stand and bag for the accessories. The bag for accessories is a genius part for Figma figures, and more companies should do that.
The Bubble Head Nurse, which were just as scary as Pyramid Head in the game, are also greatly represented by Figma. Figma is used to make anime female characters, so that figure has a great sculpt and articulation. It’s a horribly disfigured zombie-like nurse, which, of course, has a cleavage, because Japan. 3 different heads, extra hands, a knife and steel pipe, along with the articulated stand and plastic bag for the accessories.
Before finishing this review, I actually had a bootleg version of the Red Pyramid Thing, which cost me about $13 a few years ago, and is HORRIBLE. Flimsy plastic, the parts fall off, it barely stands up on its own, as bootlegs usually do. If you breathe too close to it, it will fall apart. I can now get rid of it!

NECA ANNOUNCES MORE UNIVERSAL MONSTERS FIGURES, BUT FROM THE WRONG UNIVERSE…
It’s October, and NECA has been doing their Monster Madness, with “31 Nights of Fright”, revealing something new everyday for the whole month of october.
BREAKING NEWS:
NECA ANNOUNCES MORE UNIVERSAL MONSTERS FIGURES, BUT FROM THE WRONG UNIVERSE…
It’s October, and NECA has been doing their Monster Madness, with “31 Nights of Fright”, revealing something new everyday for the whole month of october. When we’re lucky, it’s a new figure revealed, but when we’re not, they’ll just reveal the packaging of something announced months ago (Still a reveal! STILL COUNTS!). Between packaging reveals, brand new figures have been announced, such as a beautiful Elvira figure, more Gargoyles, a Gremlins accessory pack (Accessory packs, SO HOT RIGHT NOW!) and a new Ash figure from the original Evil Dead movie.
Before that, NECA had been killing it with the announcements of Universal Studio Monsters figures from the classic films. The Frankenstein monster figure, colored and black/white versions,have been out for a while, with the Wolfman and the Mummy to follow soon. More teases have been made, and we cannot wait to see a classic Dracula, Swamp Thing,… and all the others to be revealed.
UNFORTUNATELY… on their latest reveal, NECA announced that they will continue making those Universal Monsters figure that everyone likes, but from their modern adaptation… the now-defunct Dark Universe!
Indeed, the Dark Universe was supposed to be the modern adaptation of all the classic Universal Monster movies. “The Mummy” movie came out, and… that’s pretty much all it did. It came out. No one went to see it. “The Invisible Man”, with Elizabeth Moss was pretty good actually, and supposedly part of that ‘multiverse’. Depending on who you ask, “Dracula Untold” is either part of that Dark Universe or not. It’s a mess… and it inevitably failed.
Pictured below: The Dark Universe promo photo, where Russel Crowe would play Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde, Javier Bardem as the Frankenstein monster, Tom Cruise as Sgt.Morton in “The Mummy”, Johnny Depp as the Invisible Man, and Sofia Boutella as the Mummy.
ToyFarce wishes that it was just a mistake and that a better reveal will be available today. I mean, at this point, even a packaging reveal would cheer us, right?
More news at 11:00… RIP Dark Universe

MEZCO, ARE WE GOOD? IS IT SOMETHING WE SAID?
Over the last few days, multiple collectors have been receiving their Mossquatch from Mezco, and started to wonder if they did anything wrong.
BREAKING NEWS:
MEZCO, ARE WE GOOD? IS IT SOMETHING WE SAID?
Over the last few days, multiple collectors have been receiving their Mossquatch from Mezco, and started to wonder if they did anything wrong. Mezco is usually known to have good protection in their packages, along with extra goodies (stickers, a mez-itz blind bag which turns out to always be a golden grub,…). This time, Mossquatch was delivered without any bubble wrap, or any goodies. Something is off. ToyFarce investigated…
ToyFarce sent a message to Mezco, and only received a reply saying “I’m fine.”
The only explanation is… we, collectors, must have done or said something that Mezco didn’t like, and we are now getting the cold shoulder. What was it? How can we know if Mezco is giving us the silent treatment? It’s going to be tricky.
To Mezco: How are you doing? Is there anything wrong? Talk to us. We can work things our if you tell us what is wrong… Please? I bought ice cream…
Update: Mezco’s status as now been “Typing…” for several minutes now. Please send help.
More news at 11:00… Not the Grub!

REVIEW: MAFEX BATMAN: HUSH - HUSH!
This week, we’re taking a look at the brand new Hush figure from the Batman: Hush line, by MAFEX. No, the figure is not called “Hush-hush” as the title of the review implies (Sorry!).
TOYFARCE REVIEWS:
MAFEX BATMAN: HUSH - HUSH!
It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!
This week, we’re taking a look at the brand new Hush figure from the Batman: Hush line, by MAFEX. No, the figure is not called “Hush-hush” as the title of the review implies (Sorry!). This figure is the fourth figure from the Batman: Hush line (fifth if we count the black cowl batman, WHICH IS A REPAINT), and is a figure of the main villain from the classic comic book story arc, by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee.
The next figure from the MAFEX Batman: Hush line should be the Joker coming out in November. After that, there is still Harley Quinn, Stealth suit Batman, Huntress and Nightwing in the pipelines!

SCALPERS: PUTTING THE ‘CON’ IN ‘COMIC CON’!
This weekend, the New York Comic Con took place in New York’s Javits Center, and who says NYCC, says NYCC exclusives!
BREAKING NEWS:
SCALPERS: PUTTING THE ‘CON’ IN ‘COMIC CON’!
This weekend, the New York Comic Con took place in Manhattan’s Javits Center, and who says NYCC, says NYCC exclusives! As usual, the reselling community and members of the S.C.A.L.P. found a way to get everyone’s most coveted items, using tricks and deception, so that they can resell them on eBay! ToyFarce interviewed Jerry, who went to NYCC all weekend long to try to score some of those exclusives.
“Those exclusives are getting trickier to get every year”, said Jerry. “This year, you had to reserve it, and you could only get 1 by person. But as usual, they underestimated the ingenuity of the S.C.A.L.P. I came prepared!”.
“On the second day, they were onto me, so I called my aunt Lucy, and she came with my 2 nephews, so that we could get a couple more. The problem is, one of those kids actually like that toy and want to keep it. I’m gonna have to bribe him, and trade it with another exclusivetoy that I got from last year that I still haven’t sold on eBay”. Tough luck, Jerry…
