SUSPICIOUS NEWS:
“A COMPLETE COINCIDENCE!” - SEVERAL BRANDS ANNOUNCE AWESOME TOYS JUST DAYS AFTER THE STIMULUS CHECKS HIT!
In the last 7 days, millions of Americans received their $1400 stimulus check, money sent by the U.S. government to stimulate the economy and provide consumers with some spending money. It is a great gesture and must be a relief for a lot of people, but it seems that the arrival of the deposits hasn’t fallen on deaf ears, as multiple toy brands announced awesome toys, surprise waves, or long-awaited figures finally released merely days after the deposits arrived!
Hot Toys announced a 2-pack that includes the reissue of a “grail”, the very sought-after Knightmare Batman along with a brand new black suit Superman.
NECA announced that they FINALLY got the license for John Carpenter’s “The Thing”, and will release a ULTIMATE (say it with a deep voice and your arms open, like Robo) of Kurt Russell’s character. Can’t wait for the actual ‘Thing’!
Mezco opened the pre-orders for their recently announced Destro from G.I.Joe on wednesday, and doubled up on thursday, with the release of their long awaited Black Skulls Death Brigade figure (which was yet again, a clusterf*ck to order).
And finally, Hasbro announced a new surprise wave of their Star Wars Black Series figures, which includes figures from the extended universe, such as Jaxxon from the comic book, which fans had been asking for a loooong time!
ToyFarce asked representative of those brands about the suspicious timing of all those announcements/pre-orders/releases, which all came out only days after everyone got their deposit, and here is what their answers boiled down to:
“Stimulus check? What stimulus check?… Oh, THAT Stimulus check? The $1400 that everybody got, and can now buy toys with? Was it this week? We had no idea, we promise! That’s a complete coincidence: But just wait until you see what we have in store for when the next one hits! Oh wait…”
