ARMY BUILDING: THE UNOFFICIAL RULES!

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.

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.

GHOST STORIES: THE G.I.JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES COBRA ISLAND SIGHTINGS AT TARGET!

SPOOKTOBER NEWS:

GHOST STORIES: THE G.I.JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES COBRA ISLAND SIGHTINGS AT TARGET!

As we are now in October, or Spooktober, the month of Halloween, all the posts will be horror or halloween related. Don’t be too scared!

We have all heard the stories: Some say that they have seen them at the stores in person, but there is never any witness to confirm it… Some people have seen them marked ‘IN STOCK’ on Target’s website, for a mere few seconds, before being denied the purchase when checking out, because they were sold out... The G.I.Joe Classified Series Cobra Island wave is truly a paranormal phenomenon.

ToyFarce hired some of the world’s best paranormal experts to go inverstigate on Target’s website and at their stores, and it seems that even the Scooby Gang, the Winchester brothers AND the Ghostbusters wouldn’t be able to solve that one: There is a ghost in the distribution system.

“It’s a sadistic spirit that they have on their website. It will allow people to add the items in their cart, but will remove all the stocks right after, just to watch the collectors trying to order it get mad or cry. When we went to the store in person, we could see from afar a full shelf of the Cobra Island wave. It was them, for sure, 100%. When we got closer, the packaging just changed right in from of our eyes, to reveal they were actually Fortnite figures. There is something terrible going on at Target!”
