AFTER UNDENIABLE SUCCESS OF CUP NOODLES MODEL KIT, OTHER BRANDS WANT IN TOO!!
Bandai, the giant japanese toy brand behind the Gundam model kits line (and a ton of other things), recently released a model kit so silly that we had to have it: A 1:1 scale CUP NOODLE model kit! We have posted about it on our social media, but for those who missed it, here are a few pictures from the assembly:
The box, in all its glory
It came in more parts than I would have thought…
Step 1: The bottom
The logo
Logo assembled
Assembling the cup
The cup is actually made of over 20 parts!
Now, the noodles!
Noodles, step 1
Noodles done, adding the egg bits, the shrimps, and the “mystery meat” (the brown pieces are legit called “mystery meat”
Assembling all together (the chives was a long piece of green paper that required to be cut)
Et voilà!
Hungry? Cup Noodles! Nissin.
After this model kit turned out to be a success, several other brands are now in talks with toy brands, in order to make model kits of their famous items:
-Mama Noodles, another giant in the international instant noodles industry, has contacted several model kit brands, such as Tamiya, to see if there would be an opportunity there.
-Kraft, had contacted Lego in order to see if there was any interest in bringing their Kraft Mac & Cheese box into toy form.
-Dr Oetker has been in talks with McFarlane Toys, who has released a lot of construction sets in recent years, in order to bring their frozen pizza line on toy collector’s shelves!
We will keep you informed if any deal is made!
Also, ToyFarce will give an opportunity to one of you to win that Bandai Cup Noodle model kit! Keep an eye on our social media (Facebook, Instagram) during the weekend for more info! There will be a giveaway! Stay tuned!

MAN APPLIES STICKER ON HIS TOYS CORRECTLY ON THE FIRST TRY… LIKE AN ABSOLUTE MAD MAN!
Whether it’s a Lego set, a wrestling ring, a Megazord or a Gundam figure, applying stickers on your toys has always been a major pain in the ass.
UNBELIEVABLE NEWS:
MAN APPLIES STICKER ON HIS TOYS CORRECTLY ON THE FIRST TRY… LIKE AN ABSOLUTE MAD MAN!
Whether it’s a Lego set, a wrestling ring, a Megazord or a Gundam figure, applying stickers on your toys has always been a major pain in the ass. It is a known fact. The stickers part has always been our least favorite part of any toy that requires them.
Generally, we end up with something looking like this…
Or this…
Or this…
And then, removing them to place them better makes a mess, some of them has a strong glue which messes up everything, or they don’t stick anymore, or the corner which you folded to grab the sticker is all messed up, etc… We’ve all been there.
ToyFarce found out in a Facebook group (LEGO Setposting) that a user called Joshua Cameron Baker managed to put his lego stickers perfectly fine, and he added a picture:
This can mean only 3 things:
-Joshua lied.
-Joshua has superpowers.
-This is photoshopped.
While doing some research online to see if such an achievement had happened other times, we came accross this picture, which is also most likely edited. ToyFarce finds it hard to believe that it’s possible to apply stickers with such precision without being a robot.
We also found several memes about the ability to place stickers correctly, which were too good not to share. Here are a few, we’ll share some more on #toymemestuesday.
What is your opinion? Do you think this is real? Do you think there is witchcraft involved? Let us know in the comments!

THE BOGLINS COMING BACK THANKS TO KICKSTARTER - TEAM OF SCIENTISTS HIRED TO RECREATE THE ORIGINAL SMELL!
If you were a kid during the late 80’s/early 90’s, chances are you have already put your hand inside one of those rubbery, sticky, ugly-looking monsters (Wow, that came out wrong!)
BREAKING NEWS:
THE BOGLINS COMING BACK THANKS TO KICKSTARTER - TEAM OF SCIENTISTS HIRED TO RECREATE THE ORIGINAL SMELL!
If you were a kid during the late 80’s/early 90’s, chances are you have already put your hand inside one of those rubbery, sticky, ugly-looking monsters (Wow, that came out wrong!). They were called the Boglins, and came in a packaging that looked like a cage, and were really fun. Well, thanks to Kickstarter, they are making a comeback, and better than ever!
Here is the video announcement from Tim Clarke, one of the creators of the original Boglins:
ToyFarce reached out, and asked a very important question to the Kickstarter team: How about the smell?? If you had a Boglin as a kid, or if one of your friend had a Boglin, you’ll know exactly what we are talking about. The Boglins had a very specific strong rubbery smell. Your hands would kinda stink too after playing with them, but it was totally part of the fun!
Well, it turns out there is an entire team of scientist that is working around the clock, trying to replicate that aroma, that scent, that stench from our childhood!
“Does it smell bad? - No. - Please, keep going.”
The Kickstarter, started by Chris Clofoni in collaboration with Tim Clarke and Maureen Trotto from the original team, has already reached its $25,000 goal, and is sitting around $126,000 at the moment of writing, with still 44 days to go. ToyFarce hopes the team all the success they deserve, and that the Kickstarter keeps shattering expectations, and that we will see (and smell!) more Boglins in the near future!
Go and support the Boglins revival here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ccofoni/boglins-world-domination
Here is another funny video with Tim Clarke to promote the campaign:

ASSEMBLY OF THE 1989 BATWING COMPLETED!
“Where does he get all those wonderful toys?” On Lego.com, of course!
CONSTRUCTION NEWS:
ASSEMBLY OF LEGO 1989 BATWING COMPLETED!
“Where does he get all those wonderful toys?” On Lego.com, of course!
Last week, ToyFarce received the brand news Lego set, the 1989 Batwing from the 1989 Batman movie. After posting about it on Instagram, and being mentioned by Lego themselves…
Not once…
But TWICE (after saying that all weekend plans had been cancelled upon reception of the set), we decided to start the construction of that amazing set. Here’s a peak at the progress made during the weekend. But first, mandatory packaging shots!
Front (notice the DC Collectibles Animated Series Batwing that is lurking in the corner)
Back
The 1989 Batwing comes in 13+ different bags. Let’s get started!
“I was hidden in the first bag.”
STEP 1, DONE! I can already see what it will look like…not!
BAG 1
BAG 2
BAG 3
“Hey, are you making a Batwing? Nice! Lobster thermidor?”
“Are those pieces really going to go in the Batwing? I won’t judge…”
BAG 4
“Vicky Vale, Gotham Gazette! I’ll be taking pictures!”
BAG 5 (Left wing)
“Are we making a Batwing? I NEED TO SEE THAT!”
BAG 6 (Right wing)
“Wings! We got wings!”
BAG 7
“Lawrence!! Lawrence the goon!! What were you doing, hiding in Bag 7? Play the BatDance again!”
“Catwoman? Hi! Err… Lobster thermidor?”
BAG 8
“We came to see the progress on that build!”
BAG 9 (bottom parts)
BAG 10
“What is happening here? Can we observe?”
BAG 11 (cockpit)
“What does this button do?”
BAG 12 (Batwing completed)
“See, Marty? I told you we would arrive just on time!”
“The pen is mightier than the sword!”
BAG 13 (Display stand, minifigure base with gargoyles)
It was a fun build and that thing is beautiful! It is bigger than expected, and the fact that there is an option to put it on a wall (thanks to a wall mount piece) makes it even better. The display stand is nice, but the Batwing would have to be displayed on a very low shelf in order to be able to look at it. The wall mount option is definitely better. Here are some shots with the Batmobile that came out last year!

LOOKING FOR ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THE MCFARLANE TOYS PROMO PICS ROOFTOP!
If you have any information about the location of that rooftop, please let us know in the comments!
INVESTIGATIVE NEWS:
LOOKING FOR ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THE MCFARLANE TOYS PROMO PICS ROOFTOP!
Earlier last week, the McFarlane Toys Kickstarter Spawn action figure was nominated for “Toy of the Year 2020” on Toyawards.org. This was the perfect occasion for the Toddfather himself to release some new promo pics of the Kickstarter Spawn figure, which caught the attention of ToyFarce.
After further inspection, it seems that the rooftop on which the Spawn figure appears to be is the same rooftop as the one where the Red (White) Knight Batman picture was taken earlier this year, which can only mean one thing:
There is a rooftop somewhere where the unreleased McFarlane Toys action figures are hanging around.
If you have any information about the location of that rooftop, please let us know in the comments! ToyFarce would be happy to travel there and grab all the unreleased figures, and of course, share them with all of you! We will be waiting for your tips, which can remain anonymous if you prefer so! If we get enough informations, we will make a follow up article!
More news at 11:00… let the investigation begin!

TOYFARCE DENIES ALL ACCUSATIONS: “WE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, THE NECA BRITNEY SPEARS DOLL IS A REAL THING!”
ToyFarce would like to make an official statement about it: We had nothing to do with this!
ToyFarce has received countless emails, messages and DMs this week about the latest announcement from NECA: a Britney Spears doll, claiming it was one of our articles.
First, it was announced that a Britney Spears themed lootcrate will be released…
with a 'NECA Exclusive fashion doll' in the crates:
Each crates and dolls will have a theme, as follows:
ToyFarce would like to make an official statement about it:
We had nothing to do with this.
We are as puzzled as you. NECA, the brand mostly known for awesome horror themed action figure and collectibles did this one on their own. They are doing Britney Spears figures for real.
…
HOWEVER… ToyFarce managed to get a leaked photo of the Bonus Crate, the one that you get if you order all 4 crates, and here it is:

ToyFarce wants to wish you all a happy Halloween!
HALLOWEEN REVIEW:
DC DIRECT DCEASED - FIRST AND FINAL WAVE
First of all, ToyFarce wants to wish you all a happy Halloween!
Here is a bonus review for this day, with figures that arrived just in time for the event! The Zombie versions (aka repaints) of the DC Essentials figure, from the comic book from DC Comics called DCeased, which is pretty much DC’s answer to the critically acclaimed Marvel Zombies comic books, which came out over a decade ago. Here are some packaging shots:
Wait…what is this light?
*suspenseful music and sounds of plastic tearing*
“RRARGH!”
“Oh shit…”
“Err… Mr J. ?”
“Stay away from me, Curry!”
“Bruce, it’s me! What the hell is going on?”
“Why does he ALWAYS have to come back from the dead??”
“RRRAAAARGHHHHH"!” *zombie sounds*
“Nana nana nana nana nana nana nana nana ZOMBIES!”
This is THRILLEEEEEER… THRILLER NIIIIGHT!

SCARE YOUR ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THOSE CREEPY *OFFICIAL* LEGO ADULT COSTUMES!
There is something inherently wrong with a Lego mini-figure with human sized proportions!
SPOOKTOBER NEWS:
SCARE YOUR ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THOSE CREEPY *OFFICIAL* LEGO ADULT COSTUMES!
Halloween is tomorrow, and ToyFarce hopes you have picked your costume in order to…stay home and practice safe distancing!
Lego, the Danish building sets giant, has released a series of costumes for adult that is extremely… creepy! Look at their hands! Look at the bottom part! There is something inherently wrong with a Lego mini-figure with human sized proportions, and normal legs. It looks like something right out of Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory!
“I will eat your soul”
“Let me touch you with my claw hands!” (with comic book-accurate shoes!)
“EVERYTHING IS AWFUL!”
“Please, end my suffering!”
What are you going to dress as for Halloween? Let us know in the comments!

MAN BANNED FROM BUILD-A-BEAR WORKSHOP FOR BRINGING HIS OWN REAL, ACTUAL BEAR PARTS!
Halloween is this week, and we continue with our horror themed news!
HORROR NEWS:
MAN BANNED FROM BUILD-A-BEAR WORKSHOP FOR BRINGING HIS OWN REAL, ACTUAL BEAR PARTS!
Halloween is this week, and we continue with our horror themed news!
Last week, in Austin, Texas, a customer went to a Build-A-Bear workshop with a very unusual request: He wanted to build a bear using real bear parts! ToyFarce talked with one of the store’s employee:
“He came with a huge duffel bag, and asked if there were limits to what we could do in the store. We explained him that in our store, you can build your own Teddy bear using all the parts that you can find in the store: you pick the body, you stuff it, you add whichever clothes you want, you give him a heart and name it, and it is your very own, unique Teddy bear. He then asked if he could use parts that he already had, which surprised me. Now, bear with me (pun intended)… I thought he meant some clothes or accessories, but he then proceeded to open his bag, and he had actual bear parts in there! I think i saw 2 bloody bear claws, maybe a leg, a lot of fur… It was unbearable (pun intended)! I immediately called security, and this man is now banned, and will not be allowed in any Build-a-Bear workshops all over the world.”
That man seems to have confused the Build-a-Bear store with a taxidermy store. Honest mistake?

NECA’S NEXT GREMLINS SET REVEALED: GRETA’S WEDDING!
ToyFarce did some digging and managed to get a scoop for you: There will be more figures of Greta in 2021!
SPOOKTOBER NEWS:
NECA’S NEXT GREMLINS SET REVEALED: GRETA’S WEDDING!
After teasing her for a long time, NECA finally officially announced their action figure of Greta, from Gremlins 2 - The New Batch! NECA shared some informations and pictures, and the Ultimate Greta figure should come out in January 2021.
ToyFarce did some digging and managed to get a scoop for you: This will not be the only figure of Greta in 2021!
According to an insider source, there are plans to make a 2-pack later on, representing Greta and her love-interest from the movie, Frank Forster (portrayed by actor extraordinaire Robert Picardo), on their wedding day!
Do you remember that scene at the end, when Greta is in full wedding gown, walking towards Forster, and there is a close-up of his face, and his facial expression basically tells “Well…why the hell not?” ?
Well, thanks to NECA, we now know that it turns out Greta and Frank ended up getting married and had a lovely life together!
NECA can even ask Playmates if they can use their Robert Picardo sculpts from the Star Trek: Voyager action figure line, which would make the process even easier!
ToyFarce also reached to actor extraordinaire Robert Picardo, to ask about the wedding with Greta, and he sent us that EXCLUSIVE interview (seriously!):
More news at 11:00… and remember, do not ever feed them after midnight!
(PS: ToyFarce would like to thank actor extraordinaire Robert Picardo from the bottom of our hearts. We will get back to you if we ever have a Star Trek, or doctor (EMH) related article! Follow Robert Picardo on instagram @robert_picardo, twitter @RobertPicardo and on his Youtube channel www.youtube.com/RobertPicardoOfficial)
