SEVERAL TOY BRANDS IN A BIDDING WAR TO MAKE THE TIGER KING, JOE EXOTIC ACTION FIGURES !!
During those uncertain times due to the coronavirus global pandemic, and people having to isolate and self-quarantine, one man has managed to keep the world sane and happy: The Tiger King himself, Joe Exotic. The Netflix program was released at a perfect time for people to binge watch it, and it has quickly become an all-time favorite. It is now one of the most promising IP (Intellectual property), which could lead to a lot of money for whoever manages to release merch first!Several major toy brands are right now in a bidding war, hoping to get the license, which would lead to huge benefits:
- Hot Toys, the Hong Kong based premium one sixth scale figure maker is already working on a prototype, in order to show Joe's agent what a Hot Toys Joe Exotic figure would look like.
- Speaking of one sixth scale figures, brands like Toys Era or Lim Toys have already shown their interest in releasing a figure before asking for permission, pre-announcing their 'Big Cat King' figure (Toys Era), or 'Lion Emperor' (Lim Toys).
- Hasbro has expressed a desire to release a full wave of GI Joe based on the characters from the show. Those would be 3 3/4th inch, like they used to. There would be Joe and his crew + a few villains, like a Cobra Commander Carole Baskins.
- In terms of 7" figures, we are told that McFarlane Toys, NECA and Mezco are fighting relentlessly in order to secure Joe Exotic's brand.
-Funko will release a Joe Exotic figure, as well as several playsets (Joe & Tiger diorama, Joe in prison, Carole with septic tank + skeleton Don figure)
- According to an insider source that we will call 'Mystic Mac', it seems that FigPin already has the design for an exclusive Joe Exotic Figpin.
- We are told that Sideshow Collectibles would also be interested in a series of polystone statues representing Joe and several of his tigers.
-It is important to note that some brands, like Zach Pollard's Hands of Doom figures ( @hands_of_doom_ ) have already eleased a prototype of the figure, which is available on eBay. The auction is ending soon, so hurry if you want to get it!
As you can see on the picture, it seems that it is not a matter of 'if', but 'when' we will see a Tiger King Joe Exotic action figure.
We will keep you informed if we hear about more brands interested in the license.

HOT TOYS, HOT WHEELS AND HOT POCKETS IN A LEGAL BATTLE OVER COPYRIGHT OF THE WORD 'HOT' !!
It looks like 3 major brands are headed to court over the copyright of a very popular word, or should we say a 'hot word' (pun absolutely intended), which would see the 3 brands fight over the actual word 'Hot'!
BREAKING NEWS:
HOT TOYS, HOT WHEELS AND HOT POCKETS IN A LEGAL BATTLE OVER COPYRIGHT OF THE WORD 'HOT' !!
The ToyFarce News legal team came across an interesting paper this week, while working safely from home to avoid the current global pandemic. It looks like 3 major brands are headed to court over the copyright of a very popular word, or should we say a 'hot word' (pun absolutely intended), which would see the 3 brands fight over the actual word 'Hot'!
Hot Toys, the Hong Kong based high-end figure manufacturer was the first to request a copyright over the word 'Hot', which was then constested by Hot Wheels, the American die-cast toy car brand, introduced by the American toy maker Mattel in 1968. After that, Hot Wheels tried to secure the copyright for themselves, but it was contested again, this time by Hot Pockets, the American giant brand behing the microwaveable sandwiches/turnovers that took the continent by storm with their pastries filled with cheese, meat and vegetables. The 3 brands have been fighting over the term ever since, in order to prove to the world who is more worthy of the word 'Hot'.
If the judge rules that only one of the brand can have the term, it would lead to the other ones having to rename their brands, after years of building a reputation around that name:
-For example, Hot Toys would have to change their name to 'Room-temperature Toys', or even 'Cold Toys', considering the release date being always delayed and very far from the announcements.
-Hot Wheels would have to find a new name as well, 'Small Wheels', 'Mild Wheels'... still does not have the charm and prestige that the name 'Hot Wheels' brought to the table.
-Hot Pocket could have to rename as well if the judge rules that none of them gets to own the term, which would lead to 'Filled pockets' or 'Meat pockets' and would probably see a decrease in their sales as well. Their slogan and melody, as made famous by Jim Gaffigan, would never sound the same... "Filled pockeeeets".
We will keep you updated on the subject as soon as we get more information about it.
ToyFarce News wish all of you to stay healthy, safe, work remotely whenever possible and please, PLEASE, stop buying all the toilet paper. We're soon running out of paper to print those news on!
