MARVEL LEGENDS TO ANNOUNCE LIFE-SIZE GALACTUS ?!

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!

HASBRO FEELING LEFT OUT FROM THE BABY YODA ANNOUNCEMENTS CONTROVERSY BETWEEN SIDESHOW AND HOT TOYS!!

BREAKING NEWS: 

HASBRO FEELING LEFT OUT FROM THE BABY YODA ANNOUNCEMENTS CONTROVERSY BETWEEN SIDESHOW AND HOT TOYS!! 

"They could have at least crashed our website too!" says Hasbro employee. 

On January 30th, Sideshow Collectibles announced a life-size figure (well...statue) of The Child, from 'The Mandalorian' TV series. This led to a huge amount of traffic on the website which caused it to crash. Major news outlets started to report the website crash all over the internet, and the very next day, the blockbuster toy company from Hong Kong, Hot Toys, decided to break its silence and announced they were going to make figures of The Child, not only life-size, but also in 1:4th and 1:6th scale.

Toy collectors everywhere went crazy with speculations after this announcement for a few reasons: 

- Sideshow is the main distributor for Hot Toys, so having both brands competing against each other for the Child figure could create a rift between the brands. What will happen? Sideshow had to know that Hot Toys was making one too, right?

- Why did Hot Toys go out of their way to put together a collage to announce they would indeed do the figure, when they had nearly 2 months to do so? 

- For the people that pre-ordered it and caused the site to crash: How does one get a Non-Refundable Deposit back? We all know people will order the Hot Toys version from Sideshow anyway... Did Sideshow just con the Star Wars fandom out of NRD money?

Meanwhile, Hasbro, the long-time toy maker behind the Star Wars figures, had released that same announcement on December 12, 2019, 50 days before Sideshow and Hot Toys, along with a plethora of other The Child/'Baby Yoda' related merchandise. They announced a talking plush, a Black series figure, a 6,5" figure, and a series of mini figures of the Child in various situations, called the 'Bounty Collection'. 

'When we announced all those figures back in early december, more than a month and a half before Sideshow, our website didn't crash.' we were told by an employee who will remain anonymous. 'Not a spike in traffic, nothing. Our timing must have been off. I do not know what happened. They could have at least crashed our website too...'.

If we were in Hasbro's place, I admit it would feel a bit unfair to be overshadowed by those 2 giants, but rest assured that Hasbro will certainly sell a ton of Baby Yoda merchandise in the months to come, with the Sideshow and Hot Toys versions not being available before the end of the year or probably 2022, respectively.
