BREAKING NEWS: "OOPS, I ACCIDENTALLY FLIPPED MY EXTRA NECA DONATELLO'S LAB FOR A HUGE PROFIT, AND NECA WANTS IT BACK... WHAT NOW?" Earlier this week, NECA sent out a polite but firm email asking collectors to return any extra TMNT Donatello’s Lab sets they’d mistakenly received. Naturally, chaos ensued, and local collector Ryan aka 'Flipper McFlipface' has found himself in a sticky situation. Back in August, NECA accidentally shipped double the orders of their Donatello’s Lab diorama set to a handful of lucky (or unlucky?) collectors. While many decided to keep it for themselves, others "accidentally" listed theirs online for massive profits. Ryan was one of the latter. ToyFarce investigated...

TOYFARCE REVIEW: HOT TOYS STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE JEDI 40th ANNIVERSARY DARTH VADER (DELUXE EDITION) This week, we're having a look at the Star Wars: Return of the Jedi 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition figure of Darth Vader from Hot Toys. I had been waiting for a Darth Vader figure from Hot Toys that would have the unmasked head, in order to have a 'complete' figure, but Hot Toys went a step further and added a Force lightning, transparent blue helmet, which made the deal even better! This is the ultimate Darth Vader figure to me, and I don't see how it can be topped. Full review with tons of pics on Toy News International (link in bio)! More news at 11:00...

ARMY BUILDING: THE UNOFFICIAL RULES!

Stormtroopers. Foot soldiers. Putty patrollers. Cobra infantry. Hydra soldiers. What do all those names have in common? They’re all troops!

BREAKING NEWS:

ARMY BUILDING: THE UNOFFICIAL RULES!

Stormtroopers. Foot soldiers. Putty patrollers. Cobra infantry. Hydra soldiers. What do all those names have in common? They’re all troops! In the toy collecting world, ‘army building’ is the art of collecting multiple of the same action figure, in order to build an army (clever, right?). But what are the rules of ‘Army building’? ToyFarce has got your back!

WHO TO ARMY BUILD?

In general, it makes more sense to army build characters that are soldiers, troops, clones, grunts,… It’s just more logical. Of course, you can buy whatever figure you want in large quantities and just army build Kickstarter Spawns or Marvel Legends Frog man, but it’s usually best to army build actual…armies.

500pxnec54101-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles_-1987-foot-solider-army-builder-cartoon-collection-7-scale-action-figure-2-pack-01.1568877373_2eeb9681-1d4d-44e3-8a64-cecb9680ab6a_large.jpg

HOW MANY?

An unwritten rule would say that anything over 3 is army building. If you bought only 2 stormtroopers for your collection, well, then you just bought 2 stormtroopers. If you have 3, 4, or 735, then it’s an army. In professional wrestling, when there’s only 2 guys teaming up, it’s called a tag team, but if they are 3 or more, it’s a faction. (Would collecting multiple of the same wrestler action figure called ‘Faction building’??)

WHY?

Because it’s fun! Also, well…it’s your collection. You kinda do what you want with it. But have you ever seen the Ninja turtles fight only one single Foot soldier? No. Have you ever seen the Power Rangers being attacked by a single Putty patroller? Nope. Would a single Stormtrooper stand a chance against the Rebels? NOPE. So having a small army of them (or a big one!) does make more sense.

IS IT EASY?

Unfortunately, it all depends on the availability. Some brands put their army building troops in two-packs, which makes it easier to gather more. If you want to army build NECA Foot soldiers, for example (sold in two-packs!), you might want to wake up early to hunt for them. If you collect GI Joe Classified figures and want an army of Cobra Vipers, well… You’d have more chance playing the lottery and winning. Some companies have decided that putting army builder figures as store exclusive was a smart move, and we all know how it ended…

What other rule would you add to the unofficial rules of Army building? Let us know in the comments! Also, show off your armies in the comments! ToyFarce will share them all weekend long in their stories.
