DRESS LIKE YOUR FAVORITE 1990 KENNER BATMAN QUICK CHANGE FIGURE !
Have you always wanted to wear that iconic t-shirt that the 1990 Batman Quick Change action figure from Kenner was wearing? Do you also remember that scene in the 1989 movie, during which Michael Keaton wears this iconic t-shirt? (No, seriously, do you? We don't...)
It is now possible, thanks to 'jadbean' who uploaded the design on teepublic! There is a wide selection of what you can do with the design (stickers, mugs, pillows), but here are the ones that everybody will want:

FAULTY HULK HOGAN TALKING FIGURE STUCK SAYING "BROTHER" IN A LOOP, MAKING IT AN EVEN BETTER HULK HOGAN FIGURE
A collector in Michigan reported that his Hulk Hogan figure kept just repeating "BROTHER" in an infinite loop.
BREAKING NEWS:
FAULTY HULK HOGAN TALKING FIGURE STUCK SAYING "BROTHER" IN A LOOP, MAKING IT AN EVEN BETTER HULK HOGAN FIGURE
With all the wrestling-related content happening in the last few weeks, such as WWE's SummerSlam and Payback happening 2 weeks in a row, AEW's All Out this saturday, and the announcement of the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast action figures ( #ScrathThatFigureItch ), ToyFarce felt like it was time for some wrestling-related news!
A collector in Michigan reported that, after trying to make his vintage Hulk Hogan action figure talk in order to show it to a friend, the figure's battery must have leaked or some connection must have gotten faulty with time, because the figure kept just repeating "BROTHER" in an infinite loop.
"To my surprise, the figure is actually even better now. Having him say "BROTHER" in a constant loop makes it even more accurate and i'm so glad to have him in my collection. It's now my most prized possession. It's the closest to the real thing!" said the collector.

PATHETIC LOSERS USE ACTOR'S DEATH FOR OWN PROFIT
Rest in Power, Chadwick Boseman.
SAD NEWS:
PATHETIC LOSERS USE ACTOR'S DEATH FOR OWN PROFIT
On behalf of the entire toy community, ToyFarce News would like to extend a message to:
- all the scalpers/resellers that have decided to increase their prices on all Black Panther merch after the actor's untimely death ;
- the professional resellers (especially one in HK) that decided to put the prices up on their Black Panther figures (before removing the sale "out of respect" only after getting called out) ;
- and all the people that did the exact same thing after any other celebrity that passed away (Stan Lee, for example) :
YOU SUCK.
HAVE SOME RESPECT.
Now, back to original programming...
Rest in Power, Chadwick Boseman.

WALMART THIEF FROM OHIO ACCIDENTALLY STOLE MOSTLY PEG WARMERS !
The toy collectors community has been shaken to its core this week, after hearing about some loser in Ohio that was caught on camera stealing a bunch of action figures in a Walmart
BREAKING NEWS:
WALMART THIEF FROM OHIO ACCIDENTALLY STOLE MOSTLY PEG WARMERS !
The toy collectors community has been shaken to its core this week, after hearing about some loser in Ohio that was caught on camera stealing a bunch of action figures in a Walmart, and even assaulting a Walmart employee. That is right, this man assaulted a fellow human being for a bunch of toys.
The first reports said that the man was stealing some of the new G.I.Joe Classified figures, which collectors have been searching for for weeks, while scalpers/resellers were selling them at a higher price.
ToyFarce News hired a team of elite experts to analyze the pictures and videos and the results are in: The Walmart thief from Ohio did not steal the latest G.I.Joe Classified figures, as he intended to, but he actually stole a bunch of notorious peg-warmer Star Wars Black Series Constable Zuvio action figures !
That figure is well know in the toy community as a peg-warmer, a completely unsellable figure, a character that no one cared about, that even the most completist of collectors passed on. Some say there are still stores on our planet that have a unlimited stock of them, kindly warming pegs in their store's toy aisle.
ToyFarce News hopes that the man gets caught, but at the same time, we hope that his loot does not end up back in the store, because they have already restocked the shelves with more Constable Zuvio figures.
More news at 11:00... and may the peg-warmers be with you!

HOW THE LINE-UP OF THE BST AXN FIGURES WAS PICKED + EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEAK AT WAVE 2 !

EXCLUSIVE NEWS:
HOW THE LINE-UP OF THE BST AXN FIGURES WAS PICKED + EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEAK AT WAVE 2 !
Earlier this month, 'The Loyal Subjects', a toy manufacturer from Los Angeles, announced their first wave of "BST AXN" (Best Action, but cooler) 5" figures with 22 points of articulation, and the line up seemed, at first, completely random:
01. Cowboy Bebop Spike Spiegel
02. Cowboy Bebop Vicious
03. Fullmetal Alchemist Alphonse Elric
04. Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric
05. Lord of the Rings Gandalf
06. Big Trouble in Little China Lightning
07. Napoleon Dynamite Napoleon
08. AC/DC Angus Young
09. Kiss The Demon
10. Guns N’ Roses Slash
11. Naruto Naruto Uzimaki
12. Naruto Kakashi Hatake
ToyFarce News has asked an insider source about how that line-up was picked up, and the answer will surprise you:
"Many think that it is like in that episode of South Park, where we just had manatees pick random names in an aquarium, but it's actually simpler than that: The boss of the company asked his kids, who are 12 and 17 years old, what they like. One is into anime, and the other likes rock music, Lord of the rings and movies. That's it."
ToyFarce News also managed to get an exclusive scoop on the next wave, where the choices seem to be even more random! Here are the first 9 names that were mentioned ...
13. Star Wars Darth Vader
14. Kiss Peter Criss
15. The Mummy Ihmotep
16. Pokemon Ash Ketchum
17. Superbad Mc Lovin
18. Geico Insurance The lizard
19. South Park Kenny McCormick
20. Metallica Lars Ulrich
21. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Jean-Pierre Polnareff
ToyFarce News will keep you updated about the rest of the line!

AMAZON NOT GIVING A CRAP ANYMORE, STARTS SENDING LOOSE FIGURES ?!
Viewer discretion is advised, those pictures might shock you!
BREAKING NEWS:
AMAZON NOT GIVING A CRAP ANYMORE, STARTS SENDING LOOSE FIGURES?
It has been reported more and more lately that Amazon has started sending people their order without a cardboard shipping box, basically just slapping the stickers directly on the items. Here are some pictures collected in various forums/Facebook groups (viewer discretion is advised, those pictures could shock you):
We know this is very hard to see, but please, be very careful the next time you order something on Amazon, as there is an extra step in case you want them to add an actual shipping box around your order. Look for something likes this:
Now, ToyFarce News has received even more disturbing informations, as collectors that ordered action figures on Amazon saw themselves receive their coveted action figures...loose. Without even their own packaging, the shipping sticker was attached directly on the figure. Here are some disturbing photos collected over the internet:
James from Michigan ordered the new MAFEX Batman Hush figure, and this is how he found it in his mailbox.
The sticker was applied directly on the cape.
This is how Steven from Ontario received a rare Batman Funko Pop figure.
James, from Missouri ordered the Hasbro Marvel Legends Iron Man helmet, and the sticker was glued directly on it.
ToyFarce News wanted to test this, and decided to order a custom made baseball cap directly via Amazon.com, and this is what we received...
On behalf of all collectors worldwide, Amazon, please ship our items in shipping cardboard boxes again!
(ToyFarce News has decided to not mention the Hot Toys brown shipper box collectors in this article, on purpose.)

"TIME AND ENERGY", A NEW TAX FROM UNASSUMED SCALPERS ?!
"Price for this figure is $70, for time and energy". This is the type of offer that a collector can usually read for a figure that cost $29,99 at retail.
BREAKING NEWS:
"TIME AND ENERGY", A NEW TAX FROM UNASSUMED SCALPERS ?!
"Price for this figure is $70, for time and energy". This is the type of offer that a collector can usually read for a figure that cost $29,99 at retail. Those offers generally come with a disclaimer saying that they are not scalpers.
What is "time and energy", you ask? It's the time and energy used by a person driving to the supermarket, where they were going to because they needed groceries anyway, and they happened to stumble upon one of the popular toys that everybody wants, by accident.
ToyFarce News asked mathemacians and experts to try to uncover the truth behind this "time and energy" tax that so many have been adding to inflate their prices, and this is the answer that was given to us, unanimously:
"Time and energy means nothing, they're just scalpers".
We hope that it helped fellow collectors to understand the intricacies behind it.

RIP DC DIRECT - 1998-2020
On August 10, 2020, it was announced that DC Direct, the DC Comics in-house toy company, was shut down as part of a massive restructuring from Warner Bros.
SAD NEWS:
RIP DC DIRECT - 1998-2020
On August 10, 2020, it was announced that DC Direct, the DC Comics in-house toy company, was shut down as part of a massive restructuring from Warner Bros. DC Direct had been producing toys for 22 years, was rebranded DC Collectibles in 2012 before switching back to DC Direct earlier this year.
Usually, ToyFarce News would make jokes about that, such as "Company that announced mostly repaints for the rest of the year surprisingly shut down", or "Toy manufacturer specialized in Batman and Harley Quinn to stop producing collectibles", but to be honest, we're pretty sad about it.
We know many of you have been collectors of DC Direct products, going back to the first MAD action figures, to the Green Lantern line, the Batman Hush line , the 12inch figures, the Batman Black & White statues, the Animated Series line, etc... and that many of you must be pretty upset about DC Direct shutting down, so we thought we would have some sort of a funeral, a place where we can mourn.
Toy News International posted an article letting us know which product were far enough into production so that they will be released. Here is the article: https://toynewsi.com/10-36987 (we are glad that we can get another wave from those animated series - adventure continues figures, and can't wait for the DCeased figures).
Sorry, folks... We really tried to find an angle where we could say something funny, but we're pretty sure it wouldn't have been welcome right now, as it is 'too soon'. ToyFarce News wishes all the best in all of their future endeavors to all the talented artists and sculptors that were working there, and hope they find a great place to share their talents very soon.
What are your favorite DC Direct/Collectibles products? Let us know in the comments!
We'll be back with jokes next week!
