TOYING AROUND’S MILLION DOLLAR IDEA: TOY COLLECTOR WALLPAPER!
Always wanted a wall of black series, but not enough time/money to track down all figures? WE GOT YOUR BACK!
BREAKING NEWS:
TOYING AROUND’S MILLION DOLLAR IDEA: TOY COLLECTOR WALLPAPER!
That’s right, this is a collab’, y’all!
During the weekend, Kevin aka Toying Around (he’s a toy collector, toy photographer and sometimes toy reviewer) approached ToyFarce with a brilliant business opportunity: What if, instead of selling retro carded figures for display, we would just get a wallpaper with the figures printed on it? Let’s face it, a lot of MOC collectors will never open those figures displayed on their wall, so the figures are basically a second layer of wallpaper anyway! A layer of wallpaper made of cardboard, various plastics and accessories with different sizes, but a layer of wallpaper nonetheless!
After several business meetings, patent registration, research and development and dozens of empty printer cartridges, we can now proudly present to you our new venture:
INTRODUCING… THE TOY COLLECTOR WALLPAPER!
Follow @toyingaround and @toyfarce for more info, and don’t forget to check Toying Around’s youtube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/c/ToyingAround ) for fun content and livestreams, including the “UNBOXING THURSDAYS” show on… thursdays (clever!), where the toy community gathers to chit-chat and open toys!
More news at 11:00… *WARNING: The wallpaper is not a toy. Do not leave children unsupervised with the wallpaper. Small parts may cause choking. Not suitable for children under 3 years old.

BREAKING NEWS:
SCALPERS INC. WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR YOU!
Promotional consideration, paid for by the following:
“Scalpers”. “Flippers”. “Resellers”. We have heard them all. Everybody seems to have a very negative opinion of us. This is why SCALPERS INC. will try to fix that!
At SCALPERS INC., we will go ABOVE and BEYOND for you to find those action figures and toys that you really want:
ABOVE the price labelled at retail, and
BEYOND the price any normal person would pay for it.
Trust us, we will make you appreciate what we do for you. It’s not like you have a choice, anyway… The shelves at your local stores will still be empty! We only ask for that “time and energy” tax. (“Time and energy” tax explained in a previous ToyFarce article: https://www.toyfarce.com/news//2020/08/time-and-energy-new-tax-from-unassumed.html )
**ToyFarce does not share the opinions expressed by SCALPERS INC. It looks like there was a glitch in the ad campaign app, and they managed to take advantage of that. Our apologies! Now back to regular programming…

SELF-DESCRIBED “DIE-HARD ACTION FIGURE FAN” WISHES FAILURE UPON ALL TOY COMPANIES
Think you’re a true action figure fan? Bet you don’t hate action figures as much as this fan, who pre-orders at least 20 figures every week!
BREAKING NEWS:
SELF-DESCRIBED “DIE-HARD ACTION FIGURE FAN” WISHES FAILURE UPON ALL TOY COMPANIES
Think you’re a true action figure fan? Bet you don’t hate action figures as much as this fan, who pre-orders at least 20 figures every week!
Despite self-identifying as a “lifelong toy and action figure fan,” 27-year-old Brad Fairthorne of Baton Rouge devotes nearly all of his time and energy to bemoaning his perceived shortcomings of “the toy business” and gleefully anticipating how various companies will fail.
This past week, immediately after the Hasbro Pulse Marvel Legends livestream, Fairthorne spent seven consecutive hours in an online toy website forum arguing that Hasbro is “grasping at straws” and will be “belly-up in five months, guaranteed.”
Cloistered in his basement bedroom of his parents’ suburban home, the former sandwich artist writes on his blog, “Brad’s Toy Page”, about his innumerable grievances regarding McFarlane Toys, NECA, Super7, Mafex, Mattel, Hasbro, Mezco, and any other company that does not conform exactly to his subjective whims and preferences.
Blog posts Fairthorne has penned include: “10 Reasons This Wave of DC Multiverse Should be the Last,” “Why the Star Wars Black Series line Needs to Go Away,” and “NECA Actually Stands for Not Even Capable of Articulations”
Although he is convinced that “Todd McFarlane, Ryan Ting and Dan Yun are regular readers” of his blog, Google Analytics for the site reveal that the majority of his website’s 29 pageviews last year were the result of his mother, who was looking to see if the site contained dirty language.
Fairthorne has declared he is “boycotting Marvel Legends” on at least 27 separate occasions.
NB: This article is an homage/tribute to Kayfabe News, a fantastic satirical website about pro-wrestling, who posted this article a couple of years ago, which is one of my favorites: https://www.kayfabenews.com/self-described-die-hard-wrestling-fan-wishes-failure-upon-all-wrestling-promotions/ It turns out it’s also a nice fit for our toy community!

LIFE HACKS: WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR HASLAB SENTINEL BOX?

LIFE HACKS: WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR HASLAB SENTINEL BOX?
The Haslab Sentinels have started to show up at people’s doors, and with them comes an enormous box (and shipper box!). While most people will probably either recycle the cardboard box or display the figure inside of it (MIB collectors), some collectors may be wondering “what to do with that gigantic Haslab Sentinel box?”. Here are a few ideas for you!
AN AWESOME DOG HOUSE/CAT FORT!
SOMETHING FOR THE KIDS!
FOR A PERSON!
If you have more than 5 Haslab Sentinels, you can even build a small apartment, and rent it, to make that Haslab money back!

MEZCO AND MAFEX IN A HIGH LEVEL COMPETITION TO SEE WHO CAN DELAY THEIR RELEASES THE MOST!
Mezco and Mafex. 2 companies that are known for their high quality products, great articulations, awesome details…and never-ending delays!
BREAKING NEWS:
MEZCO AND MAFEX IN A HIGH LEVEL COMPETITION TO SEE WHO CAN DELAY THEIR RELEASES THE MOST!
Mezco and Mafex. 2 companies that are known for their high quality products, great articulations, awesome details…and never-ending delays!
The American brand Mezco, popular these days thanks to their One:12 collective line which include soft goods, great details and tons of accessories has suffered multiple delays over the last few months/years. Meanwhile, the japanese brand MAFEX, which collectors adore thanks to their highly articulated “import” figures, have made delays in release dates a tradition. Both brands sell high quality action figures for over $90 a pop (which is pretty steep), so you would expect that the figures would come out on time, but nope… ToyFarce uncovered the truth!
It appears that both brands are now in a competition to see who can have the most action figures delayed at the same time! This was revealed by an anonymous source (probably a disgruntled employee, again), who told ToyFarce that their goal is to become “THE” brand that announces the most products, but actually never releases anything. “It’s the perfect cover! They just keep announcing new figures every few months, people pre-order the hell out of them, they make a ton of money, with no plan whatsoever to actually start production!” said the anonymous source. “They are Announcements/Reveal brands, now".

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF! DAYS AFTER THE END OF THE HASLAB CAMPAIGN, GALACTUS GETS DESTROYED!
Last year, a few days after the last Star Wars Haslab campaign for the TVC Razor Crest ship ended, the ship was completely and utterly DESTROYED in the Mandalorian tv show. They say lightning never strikes twice at the same time, right? Well…
BREAKING NEWS:
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF! DAYS AFTER THE END OF THE HASLAB CAMPAIGN, GALACTUS GETS DESTROYED!
We all remember this…
Last year, a few days after the last Star Wars Haslab campaign for the TVC Razor Crest ship ended, the ship was completely and utterly DESTROYED in the Mandalorian TV series. They say lightning never strikes twice at the same time, right? Well…
ToyFarce received the anonymous tip that in an upcoming coming book from Marvel Comics, supposed to come out this wednesday, Galactus will be randomly completely and utterly DESTROYED in a similar way. First we will see Galactus just standing in a big field next to some rocks, and an orange/pink laser will come out from the corner of the frame, and obliterate the Devourer of Worlds.
It is a good thing that the Rancor already met his demise in the Return of the Jedi (Spoilers!), but we would advise any remaining Rancors NOT to hang out in a big field next to some rocks when the next Haslab Star Wars campaign will be ending… We’ve been fooled twice already!
More news at 11:00… be careful of orange lasers coming from the corner of the screen/page!

SCARED OF YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER’S REACTION WHEN A 30 LBS SENTINEL BOX SHOWS UP AT YOUR HOUSE? WE HAVE YOUR BACK!
The Sentinels are coming! The Sentinels are coming, guys! This week, lots of collectors have started to receive notifications from FedEx about a certain shipment coming from Hasbro!
While some collectors clearly have no clue what 30 lbs would feel like and are already asking for help from their relatives to pick it up (true story), others started to fear the reactions of their significant others when that huge, heavy box would show up at their door.
WORRY NOT! ToyFarce and The Sonny Channel have your back! Pick one of the following options for an easy, guilt-free reception of your Haslab Sentinel, with no questions asked!

SECRET FINAL STRETCH GOAL? BRING GALACTUS EVERYWHERE WITH YOU!

BREAKING NEWS:
SECRET FINAL STRETCH GOAL? BRING GALACTUS EVERYWHERE WITH YOU!
First of all: YAY! WE DID IT! Congratulations to the Marvel Legends team! It turns out, if you provide us with huge amazing figures, we’ll buy them!
We are about 12 hours away from the end of the campaign, and ToyFarce received an anonymous tip about an extra surprise stretch goal. The source demanded to remain anonymous. (Don’t worry, @sonnyplayswithtoys from The Sonny Channel on Youtube, your secret is safe with me!). We received an encrypted email with the following pictures…
And, as is tradition, Sonny from The Sonny Channel, known for his Foiled Customs company and his contacts in Hasbro that provide him with figures immediately after each reveals, has already received one, and was seen showing it off in the Texas area.
At time of writing, Galactus has 23,825+ backers (which is more than the Sentinel did!). Hopefully, we can crush that final stretch goal in time! 12 hours left! We cannot wait to go on long evening walks with Galactus…
Special thanks to Sonny for the idea and the pictures!

CONFUSED COLLECTOR: “THIRD PARTY? I WASN’T EVEN INVITED TO THE FIRST OR SECOND ONES!”
A third party brand is a brand that provides an alternative product, not supplied by the primary brands to the customers (thanks, Google!).
BREAKING NEWS:
“THIRD PARTY? I WASN’T EVEN INVITED TO THE FIRST OR SECOND ONES!”
ThreeZero. SooSoo Toys. Star Ace. ToysEra. Manniple (hehe…nipple). NOTA Studio. Blitzway, and many more. Those companies all have one thing in common: they have been defined by the toy community as ‘Third party’ brands.
A third party brand is a brand that provides an alternative product, not supplied by the primary brands to the customers (thanks, Google!). Basically, any action figure that is not coming from the bigger brands (Hasbro, Mezco, Hot Toys…) is considered a third party brand, it seems. For example, we’ve seen countless times collectors ask for a one sixth scale figure, in the very official form of a post on facebook: a picture of an unreleased character, with a text saying “HOT TOYS WHEN?”, but when a third party brand does release that character, collectors seem to not want it, because it does not come from the big brands that they trust. What could be the issue?
“I’ve heard that there is a third party, yes. It’s nice and all, but I wasn’t even invited to the first and second ones” says Paul, a long time Hot Toys collector. “Why would I even get to the third party if I wasn’t invited before? I’d rather just wait that Hot Toys announces the toys I want when they have their own party!”.
Some third party brands are more legit than other, and one of the best part about the ‘unofficial’ ones are the names they come up with to avoid raising any eyebrows (*cough* copyright issues *cough*). ToyFarce will hold a ‘Third party name generator’ the whole weekend on social media (instagram and facebook stories), so please, visit the pages and give us some characters, and we’ll come up with their third party names!
