HASBRO QUIT MAKING FIGURES FOR ‘THE MANDALORIAN’ HALFWAY THROUGH PRODUCTION TOO, AFTER HEARING RUMORS!

After hearing about the rumors that Pedro Pascal was (allegedly) difficult to work with, and (allegedly) left ‘The Mandalorian’ set halfway through filming due to issues with the creative teams (the actor (allegedly) wanted to be able to show his face more, which is definitely NOT the way), Hasbro decided to do the exact same thing and quit making ‘The Mandalorian’ in beskar armor from the Black Series line halfway through production too.

Reference, in case you missed it: https://cosmicbook.news/star-wars-pedro-pascal-difficult-mandalorian

“If the actor from the show can quit halfway through production, we can do it too” said a Hasbro representative.

ToyFarce would like to thank Alexander Alicea-Cruz for the anonymous tip. (Wait… what does ‘anonymous’ mean, again?). Also, ToyFarce is aware that not a single trustworthy news website has confirmed that, and that Cosmicbook News is usually full of cr*p. (If it happens to be true, though, just don’t read the ‘allegedly’ parts).

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

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!

HELL HAS FROZEN OVER: DC DIRECT BUYS MARVEL LEGENDS SERIES ?!

BREAKING NEWS:

HELL HAS FROZEN OVER:
DC DIRECT BUYS MARVEL LEGENDS SERIES ?!

It has been a crazy week for all the comic book fans. First, Dan Didio, co-publisher of DC Comics was removed from his place by Warner Bros/DC Comics. A few days later, the CEO of Disney (who owns Marvel), Bob Iger stepped down from his position. It didn't take long before rumors started to spread that Warner would try to sell DC Comics, and that Disney and Marvel might take over DC! There is even words about an eventual merging of the Big 2! Imagine Batman and Spider-Man sharing a same multiverse!

But in a plot twist that nobody saw coming, it seems that the legendary line of action figures from Hasbro, the Marvel Legends Series has been bought by DC Direct (formerly known as DC Collectibles)!

DC Direct plans to rename the line 'Marvel Essentials' to go with their 'DC Essentials' line, and plans to sell them without any accessories or extra hands, just like their DC figures. "They are called Essentials, so that is what you really get: barely the essentials to be called an action figure." said a long time DC Direct/Collectibles employee.

Additionally, they might eventually give a try to the Build-a-Figure model with their DC Essentials line, which has always been a ploy to sell people characters that nobody wants if it wasn't for that 'left leg part' from a character that people actually want. Be ready to have more extra heads, legs and torsos to throw in a drawer!

We, at ToyFarce News, sincerely hope that this rumor about a merging is true and hope that DC and Marvel will continue telling stories in comic book form until the end of times (so, in about 7-8 years.)

HOT TOYS TO MAKE MORE DISNEY CHARACTERS?!

BREAKING NEWS:

HOT TOYS TO MAKE MORE DISNEY CHARACTERS?!

After the unsurprising success of the Winnie The Pooh figure from the 2018 box office hit "Christopher Robin", Hot Toys has decided to try more characters of the sort.
The first announcement should come soon, but we have an exclusive insider scoop about what the first one will be: None other than Walt Disney's mascot himself, Mickey Mouse! See announcement picture below.
The goal is to make a lot more of those, and we were told that the plan is now to prioritize those figures, so any other figures that was previously announced will be put on hold or delayed further more. They plan to release that Mickey Mouse figure before the Justice League Superman.
Other figures planned are the rest of the Winnie the Pooh gang (Tigger, Eeyore,...), Olaf from the Disney animated movie Frozen, a two-pack figure set with Chip & Dale, and a three-pack with Donald's 3 nephews!
