TOYING AROUND’S MILLION DOLLAR IDEA: TOY COLLECTOR WALLPAPER!

BREAKING NEWS:

TOYING AROUND’S MILLION DOLLAR IDEA: TOY COLLECTOR WALLPAPER!

That’s right, this is a collab’, y’all!

During the weekend, Kevin aka Toying Around (he’s a toy collector, toy photographer and sometimes toy reviewer) approached ToyFarce with a brilliant business opportunity: What if, instead of selling retro carded figures for display, we would just get a wallpaper with the figures printed on it? Let’s face it, a lot of MOC collectors will never open those figures displayed on their wall, so the figures are basically a second layer of wallpaper anyway! A layer of wallpaper made of cardboard, various plastics and accessories with different sizes, but a layer of wallpaper nonetheless!

After several business meetings, patent registration, research and development and dozens of empty printer cartridges, we can now proudly present to you our new venture:

INTRODUCING… THE TOY COLLECTOR WALLPAPER!

Are you tired of your boring white wallpaper? Get a Star Wars Vintage Collection wallpaper for your bedroom!

Always wanted a wall of black series, but not enough time/money to track down all figures? WE GOT YOUR BACK!

Give your apartment a makeover with the Star Wars Black Series wallpaper!

The Toy Collector Wallpaper is easy to install, even a non-toy collector can do it!

Not into Star Wars? No problem! We have plans to introduce other products in the future, including Masters of the Universe, Marvel Legends, Retro Collection, and many more!

Imagine preparing the bedroom for your newborn child, and installing that glorious Toy Biz Marvel Legends wallpaper! Your child will love it!

Follow @toyingaround and @toyfarce for more info, and don’t forget to check Toying Around’s youtube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/c/ToyingAround ) for fun content and livestreams, including the “UNBOXING THURSDAYS” show on… thursdays (clever!), where the toy community gathers to chit-chat and open toys!

More news at 11:00… *WARNING: The wallpaper is not a toy. Do not leave children unsupervised with the wallpaper. Small parts may cause choking. Not suitable for children under 3 years old.

LIFE HACKS: WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR HASLAB SENTINEL BOX?

BREAKING NEWS:

LIFE HACKS: WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR HASLAB SENTINEL BOX?

The Haslab Sentinels have started to show up at people’s doors, and with them comes an enormous box (and shipper box!). While most people will probably either recycle the cardboard box or display the figure inside of it (MIB collectors), some collectors may be wondering “what to do with that gigantic Haslab Sentinel box?”. Here are a few ideas for you!

AN AWESOME DOG HOUSE/CAT FORT!

Don’t be fooled by the depressed look on that puppy, he’s actually very ecstatic about getting to live inside a Haslab Sentinel box!

The other cats from your neighborhood will be 100% jealous when they see your cat’s fort!

SOMETHING FOR THE KIDS!

Turn your Haslab Sentinel box into a wonderful speedy car! All you have to do is count on your kid’s imagination, and he’ll be racing in his brand new car in no time!

A car? How about an entire summer cottage? If you ordered more than one Sentinel, you can build an entire playhouse, which your kids will absolutely love!

FOR A PERSON!

Do you have annoying friends? Just put them in the box and ship them somewhere far, so you don’t have to deal with their crappy personality anymore!

Help the ones in need! Donate your Haslab Sentinel box to a homeless person so that they can feel like they live in a penthouse. You’ll feel good about doing something nice! (Also works for yourself, if your wife kicked you out after your 5 Sentinels arrived)

If you have more than 5 Haslab Sentinels, you can even build a small apartment, and rent it, to make that Haslab money back!

More news at 11:00… Just wait until you see the Galactus box!

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF! DAYS AFTER THE END OF THE HASLAB CAMPAIGN, GALACTUS GETS DESTROYED!

BREAKING NEWS:

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF! DAYS AFTER THE END OF THE HASLAB CAMPAIGN, GALACTUS GETS DESTROYED!

We all remember this…

Last year, a few days after the last Star Wars Haslab campaign for the TVC Razor Crest ship ended, the ship was completely and utterly DESTROYED in the Mandalorian TV series. They say lightning never strikes twice at the same time, right? Well…

Remember this?

How could we forget… (Sorry for bringing back that pain)

ToyFarce received the anonymous tip that in an upcoming coming book from Marvel Comics, supposed to come out this wednesday, Galactus will be randomly completely and utterly DESTROYED in a similar way. First we will see Galactus just standing in a big field next to some rocks, and an orange/pink laser will come out from the corner of the frame, and obliterate the Devourer of Worlds.

*PEW!* (re-enactement)

*KABOOM!* (re-enactement)

It is a good thing that the Rancor already met his demise in the Return of the Jedi (Spoilers!), but we would advise any remaining Rancors NOT to hang out in a big field next to some rocks when the next Haslab Star Wars campaign will be ending… We’ve been fooled twice already!

More news at 11:00… be careful of orange lasers coming from the corner of the screen/page!

SCARED OF YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER’S REACTION WHEN A 30 LBS SENTINEL BOX SHOWS UP AT YOUR HOUSE? WE HAVE YOUR BACK!

BREAKING NEWS:

SCARED OF YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER’S REACTION WHEN A 30 LBS SENTINEL BOX SHOWS UP AT YOUR HOUSE? WE HAVE YOUR BACK!

The Sentinels are coming! The Sentinels are coming, guys! This week, lots of collectors have started to receive notifications from FedEx about a certain shipment coming from Hasbro!

Read that again… “Weight: 30 lbs / 13.61 kgs”. Oooof…

While some collectors clearly have no clue what 30 lbs would feel like and are already asking for help from their relatives to pick it up (true story), others started to fear the reactions of their significant others when that huge, heavy box would show up at their door.

WORRY NOT! ToyFarce and The Sonny Channel have your back! Pick one of the following options for an easy, guilt-free reception of your Haslab Sentinel, with no questions asked!

PRINT THIS:

Print this and slap it on the box when it shows up!

SECRET FINAL STRETCH GOAL? BRING GALACTUS EVERYWHERE WITH YOU!

BREAKING NEWS:

SECRET FINAL STRETCH GOAL? BRING GALACTUS EVERYWHERE WITH YOU!

First of all: YAY! WE DID IT! Congratulations to the Marvel Legends team! It turns out, if you provide us with huge amazing figures, we’ll buy them!

GALACTUS COMETH… (in like, a year or something. Fall 2022)

But he’s not coming along! We unlocked all 3 heralds, Nova, Silver Surfer and Morg…

Along with a Dr Doom head! A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one! I love me some Doom.

We are about 12 hours away from the end of the campaign, and ToyFarce received an anonymous tip about an extra surprise stretch goal. The source demanded to remain anonymous. (Don’t worry, @sonnyplayswithtoys from The Sonny Channel on Youtube, your secret is safe with me!). We received an encrypted email with the following pictures…

Introducing… THE GALACTUS CARRIER! Unlocked at 25,000 backers, allegedly!

The Galactus Carrier is made of durable material, and will enable you to bring your HasLab Galactus with you on all your adventures!

The details are amazing, with Habsro logos…

Galactus heads,…

… and an exclusive design in the back! (Product not final).

You’ll be sure to make everybody jealous when going for a stroll in a park with your HasLab Galactus, inside his Galactus Carrier!

And, as is tradition, Sonny from The Sonny Channel, known for his Foiled Customs company and his contacts in Hasbro that provide him with figures immediately after each reveals, has already received one, and was seen showing it off in the Texas area.

Actual picture!

At time of writing, Galactus has 23,825+ backers (which is more than the Sentinel did!). Hopefully, we can crush that final stretch goal in time! 12 hours left! We cannot wait to go on long evening walks with Galactus…

Special thanks to Sonny for the idea and the pictures!

REVIEW: HASBRO’S MARVEL LEGENDS RETRO COLLECTION DR. DOOM!

TOYFARCE REVIEWS:

HASBRO’S MARVEL LEGENDS RETRO COLLECTION DR. DOOM!

It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!

CALL FOR FOUR! FANTASTIC FOUR!

Last week, the Marvel Legends team announced a new Retro Fantastic Four wave, so I figured it was time to maybe open that figure, which had been on my “pile of depression” since the beginning of the year. I never really planned to keep it MOC, but the nostalgia value of that packaging made me keep it mint for a while, to appreciate and enjoy it. I actually had the ToyBiz version from 1994 when I was a kid, so it definitely brought up some nostalgia (even though the old one had a really crappy cape and ‘arm elongating action’).

It comes in a sleeve! So fancy!

Nostalgia packaging goodness!

Back of nostalgia packaging goodness!

Ok… Time to open it… *inhales deeply*…

Bask in the glory that is Doom, the ruler of Latveria!

That Retro collection Dr. Doom is a beautiful figure. It mostly re-uses the sculpts from a previous Doom, but with the same color scheme as the old ToyBiz figure from the 90’s. Great articulations, there’s even slits in the tunic’s “skirt”, which allow him to do the split. My only nit pick is with the ankle articulations, mine are a bit stiff and I can’t really place the feet at a correct angle, because it would be between 2 hinges to have him stand up correctly. Also, it seems the piece holding the foot is a bit small, so moving the feet back and forth too much feels like it’s going to break.

The textures on the tunic are insane!

The sculpts on the armors, with all the hinges and bolts look amazing too.

I am Victor Von Doom!

The headsculpt looks great, even if crooked inside the hood (common issue, it seems). There is a soft goods collar piece.

Classic Marvel Legends pose!

Accessories include extra hands, 2 books about the magic and dark arts (I assume), a ultimate nullifier, green magic effects, and jet fire effects.

So this is how I can set my hands on fire? Fascinating…

HEY! DR. DOOM! HEY!

WHAT ARE YOU READING? TELL ME!

UUURRGH…

A book about how to strangle people from afar.

An Ultimate Nullifier! This will come in handy against Galactus… Soon…

Dr. Doom’s gun was in his holster in the packaging, so I assumed it was just sculpted on it. Turns out it’s an actual gun that can be removed!

STOP! Or Dr. Doom will shoot!

UNLIMITED POWER!

You can also turn your Dr. Doom into a Doombot by cleverly removing his cape!

I must go, my planet needs me.

I’M NO LONGER THE HOOD! I AM NOW THE CAPE! - *sigh*

ALL HAIL DR. HOOD!

DOOM!

Trying to recreate that epic panel from the comic book, ToyFarce style…

NAILED IT!

More news at 11:00… FOOL! Doctor Doom toots as he pleases!

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A HASBRO PULSE LIVESTREAM?

BREAKING NEWS:

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A HASBRO PULSE LIVESTREAM (OR ANY TOY-RELATED LIVESTREAM)?

Today, at 11am EST, there will be a Hasbro Pulse Fan First Monday Livestream with the Marvel Legends team (Ryan, Dan and Dwight). If you’re a collector or a fan, those livestreams are generally a great place to hear about new reveals, upcoming figures and even teases. It is also a fantastic place if you want to hate other collectors too! But what happens in the chat? Here are 3 things you will find in a Hasbro Pulse livestream (or any toy-related livestream, for that matter…)

POLITENESS…

When a stream is about to start, people are generally in some sort of waiting room, where they can already chat for a bit before the show starts. One thing that we have noticed is that if there is any sort of Youtuber/Youtube celebrity that joins the chat, it seems that they are legally obligated to answer to anyone who says ‘hi’ to them. Whether it’s a DanWho, a ToyingAround or an Unparallaled Universe, people will automatically rush to say hi to them, even using their real name (“Hi Kevin!”) to show everyone that they are “in”.

It has a “Mad Max: Fury Road “WITNESS ME!” vibe to it, but if your favorite youtuber actually replied to you, you’d feel pretty damn special too!

GANGS!

It can sometimes feel overwhelming to see all the different toy gangs give shout out to each other, but it’s also a lot fun. The Tuesday Crew, the Chatmigos, the Butter Nation,… there are tons of gangs that invade most streams and do their gang signs in the chat. Now rest assured that there are no gang fights! It’s just the people who watch a show who like to mention that show when they’re watching another show (For example, imagine watching an episode of “Loki” and shouting “Wandavision!” in front of it). ToyFarce will probably go undercover and infiltrate one of those gangs someday…

The following screenshot is a reenactment. Any resemblance to real people would be a coincidence. Maybe.

Okay, we get it… YOU’RE IN A GANG!

TOXICITY!

It wouldn’t be a livestream if there were not a bunch of wank pheasants trying to ruin it for everyone! Imagine wasting an entire hour of your life just to complain about new toys. “PASS! I DON’T WANT IT”, “WORST REVEAL EVER!”, “I’M HAPPY FOR THOSE WHO WANT THIS, BUT IT IS NOT FOR ME” (that last one never happened). There’s also the ones that spam the same sentence fifteen times in a row “WHEN IS MY SENTINEL SHIPPING?”… “WHEN IS MY SENTINEL SHIPPING?”… “WHEN IS MY SENTINEL SHIPPING?”, like it has ever worked. “Oh my, there’s a person that asked the same question 23 times in all caps! I definitely need to give him attention!”. Of course, we understand that you’re a bit upset about those reveals, and you’re 9 years old, but it costs exactly 0 cent to just not write anything. Other people might like the reveals. Let other people enjoy things.

The best way to enjoy any Hasbro Pulse event is still… with the Live Chat turned off.

The first and last ones here are actually real ones from the last Marvel Legends livestream :)

Hoping to see you in the Hasbro Pulse Fan First Monday Marvel Legends livestream later today! And don’t forget to have fun!

REVIEW: HASBRO’S MARVEL LEGENDS THE HOOD

TOYFARCE REVIEWS:

HASBRO’S MARVEL LEGENDS THE HOOD

It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!

This week, we’re looking at the toy of the year 2022, the action figure of the Hood from the villains wave of Marvel Legends from Habsro. This figure has caused quite a sensation throughout the toy community! When first announced during a Marvel Legends panel, one of the members of the Hasbro team said this is the “Angry Marvel Legends Collector” figure, which was perfect. Then, once the figure started to appear in stores, all hell broke loose. The figure has so much meme potential, collectors worldwide took hilarious pictures with it. There is also an ongoing petition, led by Sonny from the Sonny Channel on Youtube (@sonnyplayswithtoys on instagram) to get that figure nominated for the Toy of the Year awards next year. Join the Hood movement!

Marvel Legends packaging, always nice!

“GET ME OUT OF HERE!”

“AAAAAAH!”

By God! He literally screamed himself out of the packaging!

“I’M FREE!”

Well… I guess I won’t be grading it, then…

“I NEED MY STUFF!”

“MY GUNS TOO!”

“THAT’S BETTER, HAHAHA!!!”

“WHAT IS THAT CRAP?”

“NOBODY READS THAT! SUCH A WASTE, IT MAKES ME MAD!”

The Hood, aka Parker Robbins, was a petty thief who got his hands on the cloak of a demon which came with some powers that enabled him to become the head of a vast criminal empire. He was especially active post-Civil War and during the Dark Reign crossover events. The figure itself is what you could expect from a Marvel Legends figure nowadays. Double elbow, double knees, ab crunch, thigh swivel, 360 kickflip, double pepperoni and all the likes. The head sculpt is where all the magic is at. That angry screaming expression is just amazing. So many photo ideas!

Superman pose

Superhero landing - Nailed it!

The Hood wouldn’t be The Hood without… the Hood.

“UNLEASH DILDOBURST EFFECT!” (“Dildoburst effects” term coined by Ibentmyman-thing from the Fwoosh)

“GLORIOUS!”

“STRAIGHT FIR… HUH?”

“WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?”

(One of my dildoburst effects was a bit bent in the packaging, which would have had an impact on the grading and he wouldn’t have gotten a full 10/10.)

“MUCH BETTER!” (Please contact a doctor if it lasts for more than 4h).

“XENMU! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU?”

“MAYBE THE HOOD WILL HELP YOU…”

Narrator’s voice: It did not.

“I CAME TO PARTY!”

“TOO MUCH STRESS… TIME FOR MY SCREAMING YOGA! AAAAAAAAAH!”

Expect to see more of the Hood, as I will certainly try to get as many fun pics out of him as I can!

EXCLUSIVE! HASLAB GALACTUS STRETCH GOALS LEAKED?!

BREAKING NEWS:

HASLAB GALACTUS STRETCH GOAL LEAKED?!

It’s Comic Con week and our collective wallets have been tombstone piledrived into oblivion, as all our favorite brands announced, revealed and released some awesome toys. One of last week’s biggest reveals (litteraly!) was the new HasLab project, Galactus, towering at 32 inches tall. The project needs 14,000 backers to be fully funded and is now closing in on 8700 backers (at time of writing). The HasLab project will end on August 30th.

Once the project is fully funded, the Marvel Legends team announced that there will, of course, be stretch goals. What could they be? A disgruntled employee sent ToyFarce the scoop! (How do all those disgruntled employees keep getting our email address??)

Once the project is fully funded, Galactus will get his bib to be able to devour planet without making a mess on his suit.

Revealed by @thegreattonino , some of the other stretch goals will be 6” figures. Can you guess who?

16,000 backers: Keep the good habits with the Intergalactic hand sanitizer! It would be a shame to catch a nasty virus from one of those planets…

18,000 backers: The Planet Menu. “I’m famished! What am I going to eat today?”

20,000 backers: The Galactus Planet Smasher Trumpet! (Running gag, had to.)

22,000 backers: After eating a planet, it’s important to do the dishes!

25,000 backers: Galactus gets his nightgown and hat, for a better, deeper slumber.

What other stretch goals would you love to see? Let us know in the comments!

More news at 11:00… “I…HUNGER!” (voice of the 1997 ToyBiz Galactus!)

EVERY YEAR, THOUSANDS OF ACTION FIGURES ARE DISMEMBERED TO USE THEIR BODY PARTS AS ACCESSORIES!

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

EVERY YEAR, THOUSANDS OF ACTION FIGURES ARE DISMEMBERED TO USE THEIR BODY PARTS AS ACCESSORIES!

Hasbro, Mattel, McFarlane Toys… Those are but a few of the big brand names that are still allowing this to happen. Over the last decade, more and more brands have turned a blind eye over action figures being dismembered in order to use their body parts as accessory for other figures. When a dinosaur figure comes out with a human arm to munch on as an accessory, well… that arm belonged to an action figure! We must not let this massacre continue.

The McFarlane Toys single release of King Shark from Suicide Squad comes with an arm and a leg. If the figure becomes hard to find, it will also cost an arm and a leg.

“Oh, you want this Mattel Comic-Con Exclusive set? Here is what it will cost you…”

McFarlane Toys was already using body parts in 2013, with one of his early Walking Dead figures (Penny Blake, comic book series, wave 2) actually coming with a BUCKET full of body parts. 3 heads, hands, feet, arms… THIS SLAUGHTER NEEDS TO STOP!

Please join ToyFarce in our Battle Against the Dismembering of Action Figures (B.A.D.A.F.) and share this article to raise awareness on the conditions the action figures have to live through, before becoming a super cool accessory in your new action figure set.

Article inspired by a conversation with ToyFarce Super Fan Robert Gines!
