BREAKING NEWS:

LEAKED! MARVEL LEGENDS ‘WEST SIDE STORY’ IRON MAN & THANKS 2-PACK!

Over the weekend, some new Hasbro Marvel Legends leaked pictures found their way on the interwebs (it seems to be tradition before a Marvel Monday, at this point). The leaked figures are all from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with a Odin figure from the first ‘Thor’ movie, and a snappin’ 2-pack of Iron Man and Thanos from ‘Avengers: Endgame’.

It is not the first time that pictures of figures leak before being officially announced. It is, however, the first time that such a big crossover project gets leaked without ever been mentioned before! A Marvel Cinematic Universe/West Side Story crossover was something still unheard of before the leaks!

Now, you can add Iron Man and Thanos to your West Side Story Jets display, and they will snap their fingers along with the gang. Here are some exclusive clearly official pictures from the upcoming crossover:

We already knew that a remake of West Side Story, directed by Steven Spielberg, was on its way this year, but knowing that we will get to see characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in it makes us very excited! Steven Spielberg, you little sneak, you!

PARADOXICAL NEWS:

HOT TOYS ANNOUNCES DARK KNIGHT RISES PRODUCTS, S.H. FIGUARTS ANNOUNCES AVENGERS MOVIE FIGURES…WAIT, WHAT YEAR IS THIS??

2020. This entire year has felt like a decade already. Remember February? That was like 3 years ago. Yet, it seems we’re getting announcement for toys that already came out … in 2012!

This week, Hot Toys has announced their (re-)releases of the Dark Knight Rises Batman figure, along with the Bat-Pod.

Earlier last week, S.H. Figuarts announced a series of action figures from the Avengers movie. No, not Endgame, not Infinity War, not even Age of Ultron: the first Avengers movie.

At the same time, we’re getting ‘retro’ figures with packaging from the 90’s from the Marvel Legends line, Vintage Collection Star Wars action figures in the same packaging as the ones in the 80’s, Power Rangers figures from the Mighty Morphin’ show from the 90’s…

WHAT YEAR IS THIS??

Does it sound suspicious to anyone else that we are also getting ‘Back to the Future’ figures from NECA, also this year? The same year that we’re getting all those products from the past again? Doc Brown has got some explaining to do!

PATHETIC LOSERS USE ACTOR'S DEATH FOR OWN PROFIT

Rest in Power, Chadwick Boseman.

 

SAD NEWS:

PATHETIC LOSERS USE ACTOR'S DEATH FOR OWN PROFIT


 On behalf of the entire toy community, ToyFarce News would like to extend a message to:

- all the scalpers/resellers that have decided to increase their prices on all Black Panther merch after the actor's untimely death ;

- the professional resellers (especially one in HK) that decided to put the prices up on their Black Panther figures (before removing the sale "out of respect" only after getting called out) ;

- and all the people that did the exact same thing after any other celebrity that passed away (Stan Lee, for example) :

 YOU SUCK. 

HAVE SOME RESPECT.


Now, back to original programming... 

Rest in Power, Chadwick Boseman.

IRON MAN MARK DIY... WITH COLOR MARKERS ?!

Today, Hot Toys revealed 4 of their exclusive figures that will be available at various comic cons (you know, the ones that were cancelled...).



EXCLUSIVE NEWS:

IRON MAN MARK DIY... WITH COLOR MARKERS ?!


Today, Hot Toys revealed 4 of their exclusive figures that will be available at various comic cons (you know, the ones that were cancelled...). A re-issue of Whiplash from Iron Man 2, an 'Holographic' Iron Man Mark IV (aka 'We didn't even paint that one' version), another Stan Lee cameo figure, and yet another Spider-man with the 2099 costume variant. 

ToyFarce News got the exclusive scoop that there will be a fifth figure announced very soon, the Iron Man Mark DIY!! After running out of ideas after releasing every armors in normal/battle damaged/neon tech/etc.. versions, Hot Toys has decided to let the fans decide how they will color their Iron Man 1/6 scale collectible figure. The figure will be entirely white and come with washable color markers, so you can have a do-over any time you feel like it!

Early rumors are saying that there might be a Spider-man (Spider-man DIY suit) version also planned for the future, but they first have to test if the washable color markers work on the Spider-man Negative suit figure... Many other brands released 'blank' figures in the past (Bandai, Funko Pop,...), so why not?

BREAKING NEWS:

THE TRUE HERO OF "AVENGERS: ENDGAME" COMING SOON FROM MARVEL LEGENDS !!

It is an announcement that all the fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been waiting for!

Hasbro's Marvel Legends series is proud to announce that they will release the one true hero from the blockbuster movie "Avengers: Endgame" in action figure form!

The Marvel Legends series has been releasing several vehicle and figure sets, but there was always one important character missing. That's right, we're talking about Marvel's The Rat, the hero that started a chain of events that lead to the defeat of Thanos in the movie that made 2,798 billions $, the last chapter of the Infinity Saga, "Avengers: Endgame"!

At last, fans will be able to display their entire Marvel Legends Avengers team alongside the true hero that lead them to victory. Marvel's The Rat will also come with Luis' van, the instrument that enabled him to help the Avengers fight Thanos, by releasing Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) while running accross the Quantum Realm machine, and therefore, saving the Universe. No release date announced at this time.

MARVEL LEGENDS TO ANNOUNCE LIFE-SIZE GALACTUS ?!

An insider source has told ToyFarce News that the next item in the line would be none other than the Devourer of Worlds, Galactus, in all it's 1:1 scale glory!



BREAKING NEWS:

MARVEL LEGENDS TO ANNOUNCE LIFE-SIZE GALACTUS ?!


Every toy collector is familiar with Hasbro's Marvel Legends line. The Marvel Legends line started in 2002, originally produced by Toy Biz, and later by Hasbro. There is a ton of Marvel Comics or Marvel Cinematic Universe characters that were released, and it seems that there is no end to it just yet. The Marvel Legends line also introduced the Build-a-Figure concept (or BAF, for the collectors), which was a genius marketing stunt, because it made people buy the C-list characters that would have stayed as peg-warmers in the shops if not for the left arm part of the BAF character that people really want! It made people buy characters such as Jack O'Lantern, Paladin, or Beetle!

Recently, Marvel Legends started a replica line, starting with a very decent Iron Man helmet, followed by Thor's Mjolnir, Captain America's shield, Star Lord's helmet, Ant Man's helmet, Black Panther's helmet and the Infinity Gauntlet from Avengers: Infinity War, followed by the Iron Gauntlet from Avengers: Endgame. They have also extended the line to the Star Wars universe, with a series of screen accurate helmet replicas. The Marvel line was very well received and Hasbro has been planning to make more life-size replicas, and the next one is going to be... earth-shattering!

An insider source has told ToyFarce News that the next item in the line would be none other than the Devourer of Worlds, Galactus, in all it's 1:1 scale glory! The figure should measure approximatively 395 000 km (~245,450 mi), should be very accurate and look great in any collection, just like the other replicas from that line. The Galactus replica will have a light up feature in its eyes and parts of its armor, but we haven't been told yet what source of power will be needed for it (a couple of tons of enriched uranium should do the trick, though). There is no date announced yet for the release, the figure was supposed to be announced as the San Diego Comic Con which has been cancelled, but the prototype can still be seen by those with very large telescopes.

We, at ToyFarce News, hope that the Life-size Galactus replica is a success, so that other franchises can start to see bigger too! Just imagine... Life-size Megatron? Life-size Megazord? The possibilities are endless!

HOT TOYS TO RELEASE GALAGA GUY ACTION FIGURE !

It is a great day for all the fans of the Galaga Guy from Marvel's The Avengers first cinematic adventure.

BREAKING NEWS: 

HOT TOYS TO RELEASE GALAGA GUY ACTION FIGURE ! 

It is a great day for all the fans of the Galaga Guy from Marvel's The Avengers first cinematic adventure. 
Hot Toys, the prestigious Hong Kong one sixth scale action figure company, known for its high quality collectibles has announced that they will release everyone's favorite character from the Avengers movie, the Galaga guy! 
The Galaga guy, portrayed by actor Warren Kole, appears in the scene when the team is on the Helicarrier, and Tony Stark nonchalantly points out that he is playing Galaga in front of everybody, in order to humiliate him. Numerous fan fiction and backstory for the character has been released since then, and actor Warren Kole said that this role made his entire career, as he has received numerous offers for bigger roles after the Marvel movie came out, and made over a billion dollars thanks to him. 
The figure will come with a sixth scale office chair, a second 'Galaga-focused' headsculpt, and last but not least, a sixth scale Galaga arcade machine! 
The release date was not announced yet, but as it is the tradition with Hot Toys, we can expect it to come out in Q3 2027.
