THE STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES FIGURE WE REALLY WANT!

TRUTHFUL NEWS:

THE STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES FIGURE WE REALLY WANT!

Today is Hasbro’s “Fan First Friday: Star Wars”, the first Fan First Friday of 2021 and we are getting a ton of cool new announcements of figures we will desperately want and need! (Anything from The Mandalorian, anyone?)

Yesterday, they already announced a few cool figures for Lucasfilm’s 50th anniversary, a Obi Wan Kenobi with a vinyl cape (just like old times!), a green Greedo (just like old times!), and a Jawa with a fabric robe (What? No “Jawa with vinyl cape” this time? Aaaw man!), complete with vintage looking packaging.

The rumours/leaks said we would be getting some Episode I: The Phantom Menace figures with the old-school red blisters like we had when the movie came out (My father was on TV to show them off, as he was one of the first person in Europe to get them, back then. True story! Humble brag!). And it turns out it was real!

But there is one figure that we all would love to see revisited, that was missing from the event, wasn’t there? A Black Series re-issue of the barrel-chested, hunky, muscular Luke Skywalker from Kenner’s Power of the Force line!! Imagine what could have been…

Do you remember him? Of course, you remember him! How can anybody forget THIS:

Look at his chest! SHINY!

The entire first wave of Kenner’s Power of the Force needs a Black Series re-issue, really.

Hunk Skywalker, Chewba-jacked, Han Swolo and Robust Leia

The figures were said to have a more “heroic” style, with larger muscles than the actual actors, but now, we do know why: I mean, look at his nephew! Oiling their muscular chest is clearly a family thing!

Well, we can always hope for another Fan First Friday: Star Wars for those to be announced!

More news at 11:00… May the SWOLE be with you!

THE UNDERTAKER SHOOTS ON MATTEL WWE FIGURES!

BREAKING NEWS:

THE UNDERTAKER SHOOTS ON MATTEL WWE FIGURES!

Last week, WWE Legend The Undertaker (Mark Calaway) was the guest of Joe Rogan’s podcast on Spotify. During that interview, he said many things that ended up doing the headlines of all wrestling/sports websites, including :

-About WWE: “The product has changed so much, now it’s kinda soft. I'll probably piss a lot of people off, but they need to hear it. I just think the product is a little soft. There's guys here and there that have an edge to them, but there's too much pretty, not enough substance right now”.

-About old times: “In that era of guys, too, those were men, you walk into a dressing room nowadays and it's a lot different. I remember walking into my first real dressing room, and all I saw were some crusty fucking men, half of them had guns and knives in their bags. Shit just got handled back then. Now, you walk in and there's guys playing video games and fucking making sure they look pretty”.

It’s like the Phenom made that interview with the only purpose to make friends!

ToyFarce heard that in the full unedited version of the interview, the Deadman also had some words about Mattel and WWE action figures!

“Have you seen the latest figures of me? The jacket is too rigid! It’s made of hard plastic, so kids or collectors can’t pose me at all when wearing the jacket. I have to have that awkward pose where i stand up with my shoulders up and my arms a feet away from my hips… And it’s not only me, Edge got that too! And when they do the soft fabric ones? It looks like I’m wearing a bathrobe…”

“Gee, Undertaker, why don’t you tell us what’s bothering you, huh?”

ToyFarce admits that the Phenom has a point. Those jackets are nice but never perfect. The hard rigid ones are just annoying to remove/put back, and the default pose with them is indeed awkward.

“Back in the days, you had the “Bone-Crunching Action” figures from Jakks Pacific. Man, those were real toys! Back then, a kid could hurt himself with the figures, like pinch his fingers or something. Nowadays, everything is too damn safe."

We will report to you if we hear more from that interview!

SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN! ASKING EVERYDAY “HAS ANYONE RECEIVED THEIR TOY YET?” MAKES IT ARRIVE FASTER!!

SCIENTIFIC NEWS:

SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN: ASKING EVERYDAY “HAS ANYONE RECEIVED THEIR TOY YET?” MAKES IT ARRIVE FASTER!!

If your feed has been looking like that for a few weeks, do not adjust your monitor, it’s completely normal!

There are lots of people that ordered toys (for example, that Kickstarter Spawn) that are very excited and are getting so impatient that they feel the need to ask very often if other people have received theirs. Nobody really knows why, considering that if other people have indeed received theirs, their situation would not miraculously change, and they would still not have received their own. Some say it makes them feel better if other people got theirs, because they could be next in line (that never happened). But could asking “Has anyone received theirs?” often actually make your toy arrive faster?

A team of scientist from Wyoming got a very generous funding in order to start a research on that phenomenon, and their results will surprise you! Professor Kent Waite was interviewed by ToyFarce: “There is a correlation between asking that same question all the time, and the toys actually arriving faster. There is a lot of mathematics involved but we won’t go into that…” he said. “With my colleague, Professor Ian Michael Patient (aka Professor I.M.Patient), we are using Einstein’s theory of relativity, proving that the rate at which time passes depends on your frame of reference, and when you spend your entire days bitchi…I mean, asking about your toy, time flows differently for you, and when you get your figure, it feels that less time has passed!”

You heard him, folks! So keep asking about your Kickstarter Spawn, or the tracking info about it! It will definitely make it arrive faster!

More news at 11:00…but seriously, has anyone received their tracking for their Kickstarter Spawn yet?

UPDATE: EVEN MORE MCFARLANE TOYS DC MULTIVERSE LEAKS?!

BREAKING NEWS:

UPDATE: EVEN MORE MCFARLANE TOYS DC MULTIVERSE LEAKS?!

Once again, ToyFarce got the scoop before anyone else (Sorry again The Voice of reason / @pzahui). Another store in Malaysia (it’s always Malaysia) sent us the ultimate proof (a photography of a computer screen!) about the line-up of the future waves of McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse action figures, and it’s even more surprising than the “Batman Forever”/”Batman & Robin”-Schumacher-verse waves!

There will first be a wave of DC Multiverse figures that will include Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Captain America!

After that, the DC Multiverse line will dive into the Star Wars side of DC Comics, with Darth Vader and Boba Fett figures! We can’t wait to see what Todd McFarlane has in mind for those!!

Then, there should be a new wave that will include Ronald McDonald, the Hamburglar and Grimace! They should come with various items from the McDonalds menu as accessories!

Finally, the last DC Multiverse leaked wave will be all about Sesame Street, with a 7inch action figure of Elmo, Big Bird and the Cookie Monster. There should be a build-a-figure Mr. Snuffleupagus (or ‘Snuffy’), but it hasn’t been confirmed yet!

Since last week’s article caught fire, ToyFarce felt that we needed to share that update with you right away. It could also be a lesson about always checking the source, but we are sure that everybody did, and read the article anyway, RIGHT?

We will let you know when we get more updates from Malaysia!

More news at 11:00… and always check the source!

BREAKING: MORE MCFARLANE TOYS DC MULTIVERSE LEAKS?!

BREAKING NEWS:

MORE MCFARLANE TOYS DC MULTIVERSE LEAKS?!

For once, ToyFarce managed to get a scoop before The Voice of Reason (sorry Patrick @pzahui!) about McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse future products!

After the leaks about the Snyder’s Justice League movie figures a few days ago, a collectibles store in Malaysia (Have you noticed that it’s always some stores in Malaysia that leak those?) sent ToyFarce the scoop about the upcoming waves, and it is surprising, to say the least! As usual, no pictures yet, but you can bet that the Toddfather will make a live video about it very soon! (What’s up with the toothbrush?)

There will be a wave of 4 figures from the classic “Batman Forever” movie: Batman, Robin, Two-face and the Riddler. The figures are expected to be 7-inch and will feature all your favorite things about McFarlane Toys figures (articulations, ab-crunch, etc…).

It’s great to see high-quality figures from what Jonathan Ross called “One of the greatest movies ever made”!

The following wave will be “Batman and Robin”-themed and will have 5 figures + a build-a-figure Bane, each separate figures coming with different parts in order to build the figure (you know the drill…). Batman will come with Bane’s head, Robin with Bane’s arms, Batgirl with Bane’s torso, Poison Ivy with Bane’s hands, and Mr Freeze with Bane’s legs.

We can already hear the excitement from all Batman collectors and DC Multiverse collectors (which are basically the same thing!).

More news at 11:00… Bat credit card… Never leave the cave without it!

TOY FAIR 2021 CANCELLED! THIS YEAR WOULD HAVE 100% FOCUSED ON INFLATABLE TOYS!

BREAKING NEWS:

TOY FAIR 2021 CANCELLED! THIS YEAR WOULD HAVE 100% FOCUSED ON INFLATABLE TOYS!

Last year, ToyFarce reported that there were plans for the Toy Fair to focus only on wooden toys that year. Unfortunately, it seems that the big companies like Hasbro, Mattel, Lego, etc… made those plans change at the last minute.

See last year’s article: https://www.toyfarce.com/news//2020/02/toy-fair-2020-to-focus-only-on-wooden.html

Due to the coronavirus situation, it has now been officially announced that there will not be a Toy Fair in 2021. It is a shame because ToyFarce found some info about the theme of this year’s Toy Fair: THIS YEAR’S TOY FAIR WAS GOING TO BE 100% ABOUT INFLATABLE TOYS!

Swimming pool floats, bouncy castles, you name it! This year would have been all about those great, fun outdoor toys that needs to have air blown into them.

It would have been fun, wouldn’t it?

“MOTHER! FREE US FROM OUR SUFFERING!”

"We had decided to do something special this year, and move on from exciting action figures, amazing detailed toys and great playability to have a Toy Fair that would be 100% focus on inflatable toys." said a representative from the Toy Association. "We feel like this is what the collectors really want. We were expecting to break the record of attendance this year, with such a bold move. Unfortunately, it is all cancelled. We’ll try to come up with even more exciting plans for next year!".

“ANOTHER COLLECTOR GOT THAT TOY BEFORE ME AND NOW, MY DAY IS RUINED!”

COLLECTOR NEWS:

“ANOTHER COLLECTOR GOT THAT TOY BEFORE ME AND NOW, MY DAY IS RUINED!”

“How is that fair that *I* pre-ordered this DAY ONE, and *I* still haven’t gotten it, while other people are finding it in store?”

“From now on, I will boycott that brand! How dare they?”

“THIS IS LITERALLY THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!”

We have all seen those posts. Multiple times a week, in fact. It seems that a lot of collectors feel entitled that they should get toys before others, because they pre-ordered an item and have a wonderful personality.

There are several reasons why someone would get a product before someone else: Location, quality of the post service, plain luck, etc… Yet, some collectors still don’t seem to grasp the concept that pre-order does not mean “guaranteed to get it first”...

Of course, ToyFarce completely understands being excited and impatient. We are also waiting for our NECA Tokka and Rahzar two-pack, and our Kickstarter Spawn figures. But just like everybody else, we just have to be patient.

In the example of the Kickstarter Spawn: “Yeah, but some people in Hong Kong and China are starting to get them, and I have to wait weeks before I get mine because it’s on a boat!”… So what? What is wrong with waiting? Is it the fear of being less validated and getting less “likes” because other people will have posted pictures before yours arrived? No need to worry about that, most people will have blocked you by the time you receive yours because of the constant complaining anyway ^^

Here is a lesson about patience, self-control and delayed gratification brought to you by Loki himself, Tom Hiddleston, and the Cookie Monster:

We hope that this will help!

More news at 11:00… BUT DID ANYONE GET THEIR TRACKING INFO YET?

TARGET REVEALED AS PART OF COBRA! HUNT FOR G.I.JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES FIGURES DIFFICULT ON PURPOSE!

BREAKING NEWS:

TARGET REVEALED AS PART OF COBRA! HUNT FOR G.I.JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES FIGURES DIFFICULT ON PURPOSE!

New year, new Target G.I.Joe Classified series figures release fiasco! Once again, Target dropped the ball, as hundreds (if not thousands) of collectors reported their frustrations about not being able to find the newly-released figures in their stores.

On January,1st, 2 new Target exclusive G.I.Joe Classified Series figures were scheduled to be released: Cobra Viper and Firefly.

Collectors from all around the United States gathered in front of their Target stores right before opening…and that is where the horror stories began…

Some were successful…

'“Score!”

While most were not, as can be seen in the many reports posted by Total Toy Recon ( @totaltoyrecon ), a dear friend of ToyFarce:

Some even had such a bad experience that it killed their passion for it, as we can see in that email sent to Hasbro’s customer service…

(ToyFarce sincerely hope that it was an overreaction, while being angry, and that someone who has been collecting for 40+ years wouldn’t drop their collection only because of the behavior of a pathetic loser ass-hat who doesn’t seem to have social boundaries).

ToyFarce and Total Toy Recon went deep undercover to reveal this SHOCKING scoop: TARGET IS AN ALLY OF COBRA!

Instagram user Marauder Ruben ( @marauder.ruben ) was one of the first to give us clues about it, when he revealed to us the new uniform of the Target employees:

Knowing that (and knowing is half the battle, right?), it all makes sense now why the G.I.Joe Classified Series figures are so hard to find! Cobra told Target to hide the Classified Series figures from their customers, so that collectors would become frustrated and start to resent, and hate G.I.Joe, while at the same time turning a profit, by selling the figures at unreasonable prices, in order to fund the organization’s activities!

The last time we heard from Total Toy Recon, he was planning to infiltrate one of the organization’s quarterly info-session!

We’ve heard that Total Toy Recon successfully managed to obtain a secret recording of what was said during the conference. Stay tuned!

Follow @totaltoyrecon and @marauder.ruben for more (and @toyfarce, while you are there!).

2020: A YEAR IN REVIEW!

RETROSPECTIVE NEWS:

2020: A YEAR IN REVIEW!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYBODY! 2020 is over! All hail 2021! (If aliens invade earth, or Skynet takes over, someone please screenshot that first sentence as a “Well, that didn’t age well…” meme).

2020 was a rough year for a lot of us, there is no doubt about that, but actually, the toy industry ended up having a fantastic year! Lots of awesome toys were released, we had some awesome events (ToyFare, Hasbro Pulsecon, tons of virtual events… ToyFarce finally got to attend SDCC this year!!). ToyFarce picked up a few points that made 2020…so 2020!

THE RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MCFARLANE TOYS FIGURES

In January 2020, McFarlane Toys released the first wave of their newly acquired ‘DC Multiverse’ line. Now, 12 months later, we have…

49 figures. FORTY-NINE FIGURES! That includes the nice (albeit unnecessary) blue, bronze or gold repaints, and a vehicle. What other brand has ever done 49 figures on their first year? We got 12 AEW Unrivaled figures from Jazwares, we got 18 figures from Hasbro’s G.I.Joe Classified Series. Even the established lines like Hasbro’s Marvel Legends or the Mattel’s WWE line didn’t make that much figures in their early years (and do about that amount nowadays). Meanwhile, Todd McFarlane said “Hold my beer…” and released 49 figures from one single line in one year (and there’s already dozens of DC Multiverse announced for 2021). While still releasing figures from other lines, like Mortal Kombat, Anime (My Hero Academia,…) and other figures during that year, including the Kickstarter exclusive Classic Spawn, which brings us to…

THE RISE OF THE CROWDFUNDING

Crowdfunding was certainly very popular this year. Not that it wasn’t before that, there were already some awesome toys to back on Kickstarter in the past, along with Haslab’s Jabba’s Sail Barge and Transformers Unicron, but this year is when it went big. Between the HasLab Marvel Legends Sentinel, the Star Wars Vintage Collection Razor Crest, and the McFarlane Toys Kickstarter Classic Spawn, collectors spent a lot of money in crowdfunding in 2020. There were also tons of smaller scale projects that were successfully funded as well. Todd McFarlane has already mentioned that there will be more to come from his side (teasing a Medieval Spawn, when we really wanted Tremor - self-reference to a previous article!), and we all know Hasbro is going to come up with more awesome ideas for us to throw money at. And that’s only for things that won’t be found at the store…

THE COMPLETE CHAOS OF DISTRIBUTION

This year, more than ever, was a very bad year for distribution of toys. With more and more Walmart Exclusives, Target Exclusives, and the disappearance of a certain beloved toy store (We miss you, Geoffrey the Giraffe!) that could distribute those better, some toys were really hard to find this year, from a distribution perspective alone. Some states (and countries) just didn’t get some lines at all. There are people that still have never seen a NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle figure, a G.I.Joe Classified series figure or an AEW Unrivaled series 1 figure from Jazwares in the wild. Some states got them, some didn’t. Someone in Maine will say “The Target next to my house had more than 12 of that *insert figure* left!” while someone in Texas will say “I have never seen a single one, and I checked all the stores in my area, driving 6h”. There is clearly an issue with distribution. And we’re only talking about distribution here… There’s another issue related to that…

REVENGE OF THE SCALPERS:

This year has been particularly lucrative for the members of the S.C.A.L.P. When it’s not a distribution issue, you can bet that it’s that other kind of issues. Some people just can’t stop themselves, and would even go to say that they’re doing the right thing, “helping up fellow collectors”, by buying the entire stock and reselling it with a huge mark-up, instead of just letting other collectors finding them themselves. Then, you add the “Time and Energy” tax (woohoo! Another self-reference to a previous article!), and somehow, the price is now double, sometimes triple. This year’s hot items were: Anything Neca TMNT-related (with the Casey Jones/Undercover Raph two-pack being one of the first to really blow up this year), the GI Joe Classified series, or any line of figures that came out in some places a few weeks before it came out in others… Some people bought Marvel Legends, DC Multiverse, WWE Elite or AEW Unrivaled series 2 figures for over $300 from a scalper, only to find them in their own supermarkets at retail a couple of month later. Remember the Marvel Legends Red Hulk? ToyFarce remembers… If people had just waited a little bit, instead of FOMO’ing… oh well.

Talking about waiting:

CORONAVIRUS, AND THE EVER-LASTING DELAYS…

The coronavirus was, of course, the major thing to blame for 2020. Tons of events were canceled worldwide, entire countries were on lockdown, and everything was delayed… Oh boy. The delays. We were hit pretty hard by those, weren’t we? And then everything came out, all at once!! Most of the toys that were supposed to come out between march and october WERE ALL RELEASED at the same time in october/november. Now, there are still some toys that were supposed to come out already that have yet to be released… Like the entire MAFEX catalog, apart from 2 or 3. Hey, Miles Morales from ‘Into the Spiderverse’ just came out, with only 6 months of delay! It seems like we’re going to have to be a bit more patient, as things will continue to be delayed for a while, until the Coronavirus situation gets under control, so we invite you to check out our article about patience from a few weeks ago > https://www.toyfarce.com/news/what-to-do-when-a-toyfarce-psa
In the meantime, while we didn’t get new new toys, we certainly did get new old toys!

WHAT’S OLD IS NEW…AGAIN!

Several brands have been surfing the ‘Retro’ wave for the last few years, but Hasbro became the king of retro in 2020. With several figures from the Marvel Legends wave using the ‘retro’ Toy Biz packaging, the Real Ghostbusters line, that looks just like the one we had when we were kids, the G.I.Joe retro line, and the Star Wars Vintage Collection (which was already ongoing), if you want to re-live your childhood by getting figures that have the same packaging as back then, Hasbro has got your back! Also, can we really call the early 90’s “Retro”?? Are we that old already? Damn…

ToyFarce would like to thank the 3 people that will read the entire thing (Hi, Erik, how you doin’?) and wish you all a glorious 2021!

TOYFARCE’S TOP 10 FUNNIEST AND WEIRDEST TOYS OF 2020!

YEAR END NEWS:

TOYFARCE’S TOP 10 FUNNIEST AND WEIRDEST TOYS OF 2020!

We did it, guys! This is the last week of 2020! We have managed to survive 2020!

Since everybody seems to be doing a Top 10 of the best figures of 2020, we figured ToyFarce should do one for the all the funny/weird/silly figures of this year, so here goes! (We focused on US brands, and stayed away from Japanese toys for that list, otherwise, it would have probably been 10 Japanese products ^^)

10. BOSS FIGHT STUDIO’S SAM & MAX

Sam & Max, Freelance Police!

Sam & Max are characters from a comic book, a video game franchise, and an animated series, that parodies the crime-detective genre and American pop-culture. Finally getting action figures of the duo is amazing, thank you Boss Fight Studio, and we can’t wait to get our hands on those (unfortunately, like most items in this list, they were still in transit at time of writing, so we’ll have to wait to post our own pics and review).

9. JAZWARE’S “A LITTLE BIT OF THE BUBBLY” CHRIS JERICHO

Ooooh… A little bit of the Bubbly!

After winning the AEW World Championship belt at Double or Nothing 2019, Chris Jericho went backstage while still followed by AEW’s cameras. At some point, he saw a bottle of champagne on a table and said “Oh…a little bit of the BUBBLY!”, and the rest is history. This became a meme, which eventually became an action figure set. A meme turned into a toy. What a time to be alive!

8. MCFARLANE TOYS’ DOOM SLAYER : DOOMICORN

Rip and tear, until it is done!

Imagine you’re a demon, and you’re just going about with your day, doing demonic things, and a guy dressed like THIS shows up and slaughters all your friends, before coming for you… Now, that’s a new level of humiliation!

7. DIAMOND SELECT’S STAR TREK TNG: PICARD (FACEPALM - SDCC 2020)

*Facepalming intensifies*

Another meme turned into toy, with Jean Luc Picard’s facepalm limited edition bust. This speaks for itself. This year deserved a massive facepalm, and Picard delivered. There’s also a Riker version of it!!

6. HASBRO’S MARVEL LEGENDS DEAPOOL “PREMIUM INTERACTIVE HEAD”

The merc with a mouth…without a body!

This made the list only because of the commercial, which was completely insane. It’s Deadpool. It talks. Need I say more?

5. SUPER7’S DELUXE REN AND STIMPY

Happy happy joy joy!

From the classic wacky animated series come those 2 deluxe action figures from Super7. Alternative heads and hands, weird accessories, they have it all!

4. BANDAI’S CUP NOODLE 1/1 SCALE MODEL KIT

Hungry? Cup Noodle! Nissan!

In the history of weird model kits, we’re pretty sure nothing can top that one. The 1/1 scale Cup Noodle model kit was really fun to build, and looks amazing displayed in a kitchen, next to the real thing. Careful not to add boiling water to that one, though…

3. HASBRO’S STAR WARS BLACK SERIES HOLIDAY EDITION

A long time ago, in a Christmas holiday far, far away…

A lot of controversy came with those one, but who cares about negative opinions, those are super fun. I mean, come on… Winter porgs? Green stormtroopers? A ‘Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer’ D-0? We totally wanted those to be part of our Christmas decorations this year…

2. NECA’S TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES MUSICAL MUTAGEN TOUR (SDCC 2020)

Cowabunga, dudes!

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle line has been a very successful line for NECA, so it was not surprising that they would release some sort of set to be SDCC exclusive, but oh boy, no one saw that one coming. The turtles with their ‘Coming out of their shells tour’, complete with denim outfits, instuments, and stage. This is ‘silliness’ at its best! They’re wearing shoes!!

1. HASBRO’S G.I.JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES - FINANCIAL DIRECTOR DESTRO

Pimpin’ ain’t easy!

What else? What else could have been number 1 on a list of the funniest/weirdest/silliest toys of 2020 than the Pimp Destro himself? That figure is so absurd and loud, it’s perfect. He comes with a suitcase full of cash, sunglasses, burning dollar bills, has leopard pattern on his costume and a leopard skin as a cape. Hasbro, we want more of that !

HONORABLE MENTION: 100% SOFT TOYS’ DUMPSTER FIRE

There is no better toy to represent this year than this one. There are now several variants of it, with facemask, with lights, … and we hope to see more of it in 2021.

Here it is, folks! The ToyFarce Top 10 Funniest and Weirdest toys of 2020! Did we miss any? Would you have placed them differently? Let us know in the comments!
