BREAKING NEWS:
HOT TOYS AND IKEA TEAM UP TO MAKE ONE SIXTH SCALE DETOLF GLASS CABINETS !
Every action figure and toy collector knows about the
IKEA Detolf glass cabinet. Most collectors have (or at least had) a few
of those, which are great to display your collection. The affordable
glass cabinet from the famous Swedish brand is
a must-have for any collector.
But who has never fantasized about having one sixth
scale Detolf glass cabinets for their one sixth scale figures? Well,
thanks to a partnership between Hot Toys and IKEA, it will soon no
longer be a fantasy, and your collection will be able
to have its own collection !
An insider source has told ToyFarce News that the one
sixth scale Detolf glass cabinets will soon be announced, so that your
one sixth scale figures can finally display their items, such as the Hot
Toys Box Art Magnets, which are one sixth scale
versions of the Hot Toys figures art boxes, so that your figures can
have them too. Imagine having your Infinity War Thor and Black Widow in
your Detolf, displaying their own versions of the Infinity War Thor and
Black Widow Art Boxes in their own Detolf!
No words yet if the IKEA patented 'random glass
explosion' feature will be added to one out of 100,000 glass cabinets,
but we certainly hope Hot Toys will strive for accuracy and add that to
their line as well.

HASBRO FEELING LEFT OUT FROM THE BABY YODA ANNOUNCEMENTS CONTROVERSY BETWEEN SIDESHOW AND HOT TOYS!!
“They could have at least crashed our website too!" says Hasbro employee.
BREAKING NEWS:
HASBRO FEELING LEFT OUT FROM THE BABY YODA ANNOUNCEMENTS CONTROVERSY BETWEEN SIDESHOW AND HOT TOYS!!
"They could have at least crashed our website too!" says Hasbro employee.
On
January 30th, Sideshow Collectibles announced a life-size figure
(well...statue) of The Child, from 'The Mandalorian' TV series. This led to a huge amount of traffic on
the website which caused it to crash. Major news outlets started to
report the website crash all over the internet, and the very next day,
the blockbuster toy company from Hong Kong, Hot Toys, decided to break
its silence and announced they were going to make figures of The Child,
not only life-size, but also in 1:4th and 1:6th scale.
Toy collectors everywhere went crazy with speculations after this announcement for a few reasons:
- Sideshow
is the main distributor for Hot Toys, so having both brands competing
against each other for the Child figure could create a rift between the
brands. What will happen? Sideshow had to know that Hot Toys was making one too, right?
- Why
did Hot Toys go out of their way to put together a collage to
announce they would indeed do the figure, when they had nearly 2 months
to do so?
- For
the people that pre-ordered it and caused the site to crash: How does
one get a Non-Refundable Deposit back? We all know people will order the
Hot Toys version from Sideshow anyway... Did Sideshow just con the Star
Wars fandom out of NRD money?
Meanwhile,
Hasbro, the long-time toy maker behind the Star Wars figures, had
released that same announcement on December 12, 2019, 50 days before Sideshow and Hot Toys, along with a
plethora of other The Child/'Baby Yoda' related merchandise. They
announced a talking plush, a Black series figure, a 6,5" figure, and a
series of mini figures of the Child in various situations, called the
'Bounty Collection'.
'When
we announced all those figures back in early december, more than a month and a
half before Sideshow, our website didn't crash.' we were told by an
employee who will remain anonymous. 'Not a spike in traffic, nothing. Our timing must have been off. I do not know what happened. They could have at least crashed our website too...'.
If
we were in Hasbro's place, I admit it would feel a bit unfair to be
overshadowed by those 2 giants, but rest assured that Hasbro will
certainly sell a ton of Baby Yoda merchandise in the months to come,
with the Sideshow and Hot Toys versions not being available before the
end of the year or probably 2022, respectively.

FUNKO POP SOON RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS, WILL START MAKING OWN EMPLOYEES POP FIGURES!
There are thousands of franchises that have been made into Funko Pop figures, and even fans of the most obscure things can find a Pop figure of their favorite characters.
BREAKING NEWS:
FUNKO POP SOON RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS, WILL START MAKING OWN EMPLOYEES POP FIGURES!
Everyone loves Funko Pop! There are thousands of
franchises that have been made into Funko Pop figures, and even fans of
the most obscure things can find a Pop figure of their favorite
characters.
The first Funko Pop figures came out in 2010, and 10
years later, over 8500 different Pop figures have been created. From the
big hits like Star Wars, Marvel, DC to the Golden Girls, Bob Ross or
Weird Al Yankovic, to even more obscure franchises, there isn't a famous act that
hasn't been made into Funko Pop figures.
But with the latest dozens of announcements that Funko
has made about their Pop figure line earlier this year, it seems that the inspiration is
coming to an end.
A source had told ToyFarce News that "there simply isn't any franchise left that Funko hasn't already made into Pops!".
In order to continue makikg more, the creators of Funko
have decided for their next announcements to start making the
employees from their own office as their next Pop figure line.
The first wave will include Steve from Finance, Jessica
the receptionist, Mike the IT guy, Sam the trainee and Linda from HR,
which will also have a 'Chase edition' with different clothes!
With the advancement of technology and the 'Pop
Yourself!' app, it will not take long before anyone and everyone will be
made into a Pop figure! "The goal is to have every single person on the planet made into those" said our anonymous source.

BREAKING NEWS:
MATTEL LOOKING TO USE UNSOLD 'TWILIGHT' DOLLS FOR FUTURE 'THE BATMAN' MOVIE MERCH!
An anonymous (disgruntled) employee has leaked to us a juicy piece of information this week:
Mattel,
the giant toymaker behind Hot Wheels, Barbie and tons of other classic
toys has decided to re-use unsold figures of Edward from the 'Twilight'
movie franchise, which came out in 2009, in order to release a Barbie
doll from the Robert Pattinson-led, 'The Batman' movie, directed by
Matt Reeves, which will come out in 2021. The 'Edward' headsculpt, which was highly accurate at the time, will be perfect for the next incarnation of the Batman Barbie doll.
Mattel
is no stranger to releasing Batman dolls, as they had released a Batman
Barbie Doll in 2016 for the 'Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice' movie,
as well as a Batman '66 (Adam West) Barbie doll in 2013.
No
words yet on if there will be more characters from the movie, but
ToyFarce News will investigate like the world's greatest detective,
Batman himself to try to find out more!

BREAKING NEWS:
HOT TOYS TO RELEASE GALAGA GUY ACTION FIGURE !
It is a great day for all the fans of the Galaga Guy from Marvel's The Avengers first cinematic adventure.
Hot
Toys, the prestigious Hong Kong one sixth scale action figure company,
known for its high quality collectibles has announced that they will
release everyone's favorite character from the Avengers movie, the
Galaga guy!
The
Galaga guy, portrayed by actor Warren Kole, appears in the scene when
the team is on the Helicarrier, and Tony Stark nonchalantly points out
that he is playing Galaga in front of everybody, in order to humiliate
him. Numerous fan fiction and backstory for the character has been
released since then, and actor Warren Kole said that this role made his
entire career, as he has received numerous offers for bigger roles after
the Marvel movie came out, and made over a billion dollars thanks to
him.
The
figure will come with a sixth scale office chair, a second
'Galaga-focused' headsculpt, and last but not least, a sixth scale
Galaga arcade machine!
The release date was not announced yet, but as it is the tradition with Hot Toys, we can expect it to come out in Q3 2027.
