NECA ANNOUNCES INVISIBLE MAN LOOT CRATE !!
In 2019, the sensational action figure brand NECA (which stands for National Entertainment Collectibles Association) aquired LootCrate, one of the most famous subscription box brand which had filed for bankruptcy earlier that year.
Since
then, NECA has been using the LootCrate format to distribute exclusive
figures, such as the recently released 'Spirit of Splinter', available
only in the TMNT Movie 30th anniversary crate (the one that scalpers are
selling for 100$). The crate also offered a t-shirt, some badges and
other (useless) items that will end up clogging a drawer as soon as the
crate has been received. This week, it was announced that 3 additional
TMNT crates would be available, each containing an exclusive figure. A
Bonus figure will be also available for those who buy all 3 crates.
ToyFarce
News got the insider scoop that NECA is about to use the same format
with their horror movie figures, starting with the highly popular horror
film 'The Invisible Man', with Elizabeth Moss. They will release the
attached promo pic very soon, along with more info on how to order it.
The
other crates should have a Freddy from Nightmare on Elm's Street's ...remake movie (the one NOT played by Robert Englund), and yet another
Jason Vohrees from the Friday 13th movie franchise. The bonus figure
should be a Pennywise figure, the clown from It, dressed as a bunny, to
mirror the TMNT '3-crates + Bonus item' offer, which offers a Bebop dressed as a bunny.

HOT TOYS TO RELEASE MORE 'BATTLE DAMAGED VERSION' FIGURES ??
Over the years, lot of toy brands have made 'Battle damaged version' of their popular figures.
BREAKING NEWS:
HOT TOYS TO RELEASE MORE 'BATTLE DAMAGED VERSION' FIGURES ??
Over
the years, lot of toy brands have made 'Battle damaged version' of
their popular figures. Toy Biz used to do battle damaged version of
their X-Men and Spider-man figures in the 90's. Bandai has battle
damaged Dragon Ball Z figures, Kenner had battle damaged Star Wars and
Jurassic Park figures, with those weird soft plastic dinosaurs that had a
tiny piece of flesh that could be removed on their back leg, and it was
enough to call them 'battle damage' (we are not even kidding).
In
recent years, Hot Toys has released 'Battle Damaged Version' of their
Terminator T-800 figure, Robocop, the Armored Batman from Batman V
Superman, and announced the Endgame Iron Man Mk. LXXXV and Thanos would
be the latest to don the 'Battle Damaged Version' outfit. But those will
not be the last ones!
ToyFarce
News got an inside scoop from a factory worker that stayed home way too
long because of the virus outbreak, and decided to spill the beans on
some of the upcoming figures, out of frustration! The next figures to be
announced should be 'Battle Damaged Version Winnie the Pooh', from the
'Christopher Robin' movie, and 'Battle Damaged Version Belle' from the
smash hit 'Beauty and the Beast'.
Other
rumors are 'Battle Damaged Tonto' from the movie 'Lone Ranger', 'Battle
Damaged Sweeney Todd' or a re-re-release of Iron Man Mk. XLVII with a
Battle Damaged Version twist.

HOT TOYS TO ANNOUNCE LONG-AWAITED FAN FAVORITE 'ROSE TICO' FIGURE FOR INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!!
Hot Toys has decided to give everybody, and especially all the ladies, a perfect gift for International Women’s day !
BREAKING NEWS:
HOT TOYS TO ANNOUNCE LONG-AWAITED FAN FAVORITE 'ROSE TICO' FIGURE FOR INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!!
First of all, ToyFarce News would like to wish all the female toy
collectors and readers of ToyFarce News a happy International Women's
Day! Hot Toys has decided to give everybody, and especially all the
ladies, a perfect gift for this day by announcing a one
sixth scale figure that has been the most anticipated character for so
many fans: the fan-favorite Rose Tico from Rian Johnson's 'Star Wars -
The Last Jedi'!
Rose comes with 3 different outfits, her normal orange outfit which she
wears in the Last Jedi, her First order disguise which she used in the
movie after being caught on Canto Bight (a place that fans have quickly
become enamored with as well!), and her outfit from
that one scene in 'The Rise of Skywalker', when we see her in the
background, or something. An anonymous source told ToyFarce News that
"Well, it's not Gamora, but people should be really happy with that
announcement. They will see that Hot Toys
listens to them and gives them exactly what they want, when it's not
Iron Man variants, re-releases and improbable release dates.". The
figure is scheduled to be released on Q4 2028.
The preorders sales will start very soon, so do not miss out on the
opportunity to own that figure, so that everyone else will be definitely
jealous of you! And for all the readers of ToyFarce News, when you
order, enter the code 'ToyFarce' to get a bonus second necklace
part from her dead sister from earlier in the movie!

AFTER THE SUCCESS OF THE TARGET EXCLUSIVE RED HULK, MARVEL LEGENDS TO RELEASE MORE COLORED HULKS !!
Be ready to see all the shades of a rainbow of Hulk on your feed very soon!
BREAKING NEWS:
AFTER THE SUCCESS OF THE TARGET EXCLUSIVE RED HULK, MARVEL LEGENDS TO RELEASE MORE COLORED HULKS !!
The Target exclusive 'Marvel Legends Red Hulk' was released only a few weeks ago and collectors worldwide have been on the hunt to get their hands on one. The figure has quickly become what some collectors call a 'Grail piece', even if the term is usually used to mention mainstream figures that are easy to find if you spend 3 minutes on eBay.
But this is not the end of the story for that Hulk figure! Hasbro has decided to go even deeper and release another set of variant colored Hulks, which would be available exclusively in different stores, so that the collectors can feel the thrill of the hunt even more, and send collectors on a long and perillous journey!
The 'Marvel Legends Dark Blue Hulk' will be a Walmart exclusive, while the 'Marvel Legends Yellow Hulk' will be only sold in Hallmark stores. The 'Marvel Legends Orange Hulk' will be an exclusivity for Toys'R'Us Canada. The 'Marvel Legends Teal Hulk' will be only available in PicWic Toys stores in France (formerly Toys'R'Us stores). The 'Marvel Legends Pink Hulk' will be only available at Hamleys toy stores in the UK. And finally, the 'Marvel Legends White Hulk' will be the rarest of them all, as you will have to contact a person from Hasbro through an email address and beg them to sell you one, and they even have the right to refuse! The supplies will be very limited, so do not waste time and get yours fast!
An insider source has told ToyFarce News that there is even a secret color that will be hidden until someone finds it 'in the wild'. Rumors are that it could be a shade of cerulean, coral pink, or fuschia!
If the experiment goes well, Hasbro plans to go same way Hot Toys did with the Iron Man Neon Tech figures, and release more colors later, and also possibly chrome versions of each of those colors.
Be ready to see all the shades of a rainbow of Hulk on your feed very soon!

HELL HAS FROZEN OVER: DC DIRECT BUYS MARVEL LEGENDS SERIES ?!
It has been a crazy week for all the comic book fans!
BREAKING NEWS:
HELL HAS FROZEN OVER:
DC DIRECT BUYS MARVEL LEGENDS SERIES ?!
It has been a crazy week for all the comic book fans.
First, Dan Didio, co-publisher of DC Comics was removed from his place
by Warner Bros/DC Comics. A few days later, the CEO of Disney (who owns
Marvel), Bob Iger stepped down from his position.
It didn't take long before rumors started to spread that Warner would
try to sell DC Comics, and that Disney and Marvel might take over DC!
There is even words about an eventual merging of the Big 2! Imagine
Batman and Spider-Man sharing a same multiverse!
But in a plot twist that nobody saw coming, it seems
that the legendary line of action figures from Hasbro, the Marvel
Legends Series has been bought by DC Direct (formerly known as DC
Collectibles)!
DC Direct plans to rename the line 'Marvel Essentials'
to go with their 'DC Essentials' line, and plans to sell them without
any accessories or extra hands, just like their DC figures. "They are
called Essentials, so that is what you really
get: barely the essentials to be called an action figure." said a long
time DC Direct/Collectibles employee.
Additionally, they might eventually give a try to the
Build-a-Figure model with their DC Essentials line, which has always
been a ploy to sell people characters that nobody wants if it wasn't for
that 'left leg part' from a character that people
actually want. Be ready to have more extra heads, legs and torsos to
throw in a drawer!
We, at ToyFarce News, sincerely hope that this rumor
about a merging is true and hope that DC and Marvel will continue
telling stories in comic book form until the end of times (so, in about
7-8 years.)

MORE TOY COMPANIES TO USE CROWDFUNDING AFTER MCFARLANE TOYS SPAWN KICKSTARTER ANNOUNCEMENT ?!
This idea hasn't fallen on deaf ears, as we got the scoop that other toy makers will soon start their own crowdfunding venture.
BREAKING NEWS:
MORE TOY COMPANIES TO USE CROWDFUNDING AFTER MCFARLANE TOYS SPAWN KICKSTARTER ANNOUNCEMENT ?!
The New York Toy Fair is still ongoing and there has been a lot of
exciting announcements during the weekend! It seems tons of brands are
cashing in on one particular thing this year: Nostalgia! With several
brands bringing back the
3¾-inch figures from the past, others bringing us figures
like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in packaging that looks like the
ones from the past, or Power Rangers from the 90's, all those brands are
trying to touch our nostalgic nerve and get
us to buy reproductions of figures we already had 30 years ago.
But one particular announcement certainly did not go
unnoticed: Todd McFarlane, the "ToddFather" himself, announced his
project of a Kickstarter for a revival of the very first wave of Spawn
figures from 1995. The goal is to start a Kickstarter
for each figure from the set (Spawn, the Clown, Violator, Overkill,
Tremor, Medieval Spawn, and an unmasked version of the Spawn, with
trademarked 'hamburger-head'), and release them, with today's better,
upgraded scuplts, while selling them in the same packaging
the original figures had in 1995.
This idea hasn't fallen on deaf ears, as we got the scoop
that other toy makers will soon start their own crowdfunding venture.
"Todd McFarlane created a multi million dollar business and made a name
for himself, through his art, comic book stories
and McFarlane Toys, and he is now trying to relaunch Spawn using
Kickstarter? This is genius!" said one of the top Toy company
representants interviewed at the Toy Fair.
The early rumors ToyFarce News has managed to gather are:
- Howard Chan, from Hot Toys, thinks about starting a GoFundMe to help his multi million dollar brand release figures a bit faster than at current time.
- The toy
makers of Hasbro will soon start a Patreon, where they will release
pictures of the design, sculpting, prototype, all the processes to make a
figure with different levels of payments showing you more if you pay
more.
- IndieGogo has had conversations with the people from Funko, no details about the subject.
- Mattel to restart their 'MattyCollector' service as a paid subscription, with different tiers.

SEVERAL MAJOR TOY BRANDS INTERESTED IN THE POWER RANGERS ENTIRE FRANCHISE; WILL INEVITABLY FOCUS ONLY ON MIGHTY MORPHING LINE !
“That is what the fans really want: characters from a 27+ year old series!”
BREAKING NEWS:
SEVERAL MAJOR TOY BRANDS INTERESTED IN THE POWER RANGERS ENTIRE FRANCHISE; WILL INEVITABLY FOCUS ONLY ON MIGHTY MORPHING LINE !
A
lot has happened recently for the ultra popular Power Rangers
franchise. The giant American toy maker HASBRO bought the franchise for
522M$ in 2018, and started producing high quality figures of everyone's
favorite character (mostly from the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers
series). The third party brand ACE TOYZ released beautiful 12inch
action figures of the 'Classic Mighty Superheroes', bearing an uncanny
resemblance to the Mighty Morphing costumes (wink wink). Meanwhile, BANDAI continues
to produce toys for all the Sentai series in Japan, still going strong
after 45+ years.
But
is seems that it will not stop there for the teenagers with special
powers! Several superstar brands in the toy industry, like the Hong Kong
based HOT TOYS, the Japanese MEDICOM (MAFEX), the
American SIDESHOW COLLECTIBLES, or the Japanese high-end statue maker
PRIME1 STUDIO, have started to show interest in the red, yellow, black,
pink and blue franchise (along with sometimes green or white).
"They
are interested in the Power Rangers franchise, but only really to
continue milking the MMPR (Mighty Morphing Power Rangers) line. They
will probably continue to ignore the 20+ other series, such as Zeo,
Turbo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, TimeForce, or whatever came after, and
mostly really only do MMPR products. That is what the fans really want:
characters from a 27+ year old series.", said "Kakeru", one of ToyFarce News main sources on everything
Power Rangers, Sentai and Tokusatsu. "When MMPR will stop to sell, they'll reintroduce the
japanese characters from the Zyuranger series instead." (Google it!).
