EVERYTHING STARTED TO GO WRONG AFTER TOYS'R'US CLOSED DOWN

Do you remember Geoffrey the giraffe? Do you remember how people were happier when Toys'R'Us was still around?




EDITORIAL PIECE:

EVERYTHING STARTED TO GO WRONG AFTER TOYS'R'US CLOSED DOWN


" You know - I'm not saying allowing the death of Toys'R'Us caused the global chaos right now, but... *gestures wildly at everything* "
(ToyFarce News likes to give credit where credit is due, and after 2 minutes of intense research, it was Jeremy Davis that shared that on Facebook. Thanks, Jeremy! It was too good not to share!)

Do you remember Geoffrey the giraffe? Do you remember how people were happier when Toys'R'Us was still around? Do you also think that closing down all Toys'R'Us in the US started a chain of events that would lead to Australia being on fire, a global pandemic and chaos all over the world in 2020, à la "Butterfly effect"? If so, ToyFarce News would like to hear from you!

In the spirit of trying to cheer up and support each other, let's all share a memory we have from Toys'R'Us. It can be a good memory, a bad one, a funny one, anything. How many of you did work in a Toys'R'Us, for example? Or how often did you go there? Let's all have a conversation and try to think about something that is now gone, and that we are missing.

I'll go first: I worked at a Toys'R'Us as a part time job during the Christmas season, over a decade ago. I started in the late afternoon, and stayed after hours until after 10pm to re-fill all the shelves that had been emptied out during the day, so that the parents...I mean... Santa Claus could come and pick up the toys for all the children. On December, 24th, which is Christmas Eve, a woman with a cart full of toys came to me and asked if we had the most popular toy from that year, which had been sold out everywhere for weeks (it was a known fact). I explained to her that we didn't have any, but that we would get some after Christmas. She then proceeded to yell at me, telling me that I just had personnaly ruined her child's Christmas, and it was my fault if the kid didn't get that toy. It was not her fault for being a crappy parent and doing all the Christmas shopping at the very last minute, no! It was my fault. To this day, it still haunts me.

Share your memories in the comments!

MATTEL LOOKING TO USE UNSOLD 'TWILIGHT' DOLLS FOR FUTURE 'THE BATMAN' MOVIE MERCH!

The 'Edward' headsculpt, which was highly accurate at the time, will be perfect for the next incarnation of the Batman Barbie doll.

BREAKING NEWS: 

MATTEL LOOKING TO USE UNSOLD 'TWILIGHT' DOLLS FOR FUTURE 'THE BATMAN' MOVIE MERCH! 

An anonymous (disgruntled) employee has leaked to us a juicy piece of information this week:  
Mattel, the giant toymaker behind Hot Wheels, Barbie and tons of other classic toys has decided to re-use unsold figures of Edward from the 'Twilight' movie franchise, which came out in 2009, in order to release a Barbie doll from the Robert Pattinson-led, 'The Batman' movie, directed by Matt Reeves, which will come out in 2021.  The 'Edward' headsculpt, which was highly accurate at the time, will be perfect for the next incarnation of the Batman Barbie doll.
Mattel is no stranger to releasing Batman dolls, as they had released a Batman Barbie Doll in 2016 for the 'Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice' movie, as well as a Batman '66 (Adam West) Barbie doll in 2013. 
No words yet on if there will be more characters from the movie, but ToyFarce News will investigate like the world's greatest detective, Batman himself to try to find out more!
