WHAT WE LEARNED FROM THE HASBRO PULSE FAN FEST PREMIUM MEMBER PARTY!

Yesterday, on April 8th 2021, Hasbro Pulse held their first Premium member party, ahead of the Hasbro Fan Fest that will happen today (April 9th). Apparently, someone had left the door open, and the live stream was also available for non-premium members at some point. Here is what we learned during this live event!

STEVE EVANS IS AN AMAZING HUMAN BEING

Natural-born entertainer? Yes. British accent? Yes. Dad jokes? Heck yes! On top of having a very fun instagram account to follow (@mrstevie18), along with his “Mr Stevie’s Tall Toy Tales” show and his multiple giveaways, Steve was the host of the event. What could have looked like a boring ‘Apple iPhone reveal’ event ended up being very entertaining, and it’s all thanks to Steve. (Special shout out to his new friend, “Chad”! The people who know know.). Also, I will always use the word ‘drinkiepoo’ from now on.

TOYS REVEALS!

Not a lot of things were revealed yesterday, since the real big event is today. Only a couple of announcements: Marvel Legends Domino and Cannonball figures (with half of the internet saying it will be a two-pack, and the other half saying it will not). Also, there will be a fan-vote for the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection figures line, which will be between Clone Wars Ahsoka, Old Republic Trooper, Rogue One Tank Trooper, Extended Universe (Force Unleashed) Starkiller and ROTJ Weequay.

CARPET/TOWEL BACKGROUND DIORAMA COMING SOON FOR G.I.JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES?

You can be a very talented professional photographer for Hasbro (they pay him!), using nice lighting and intricate dioramas for the background of your pictures, and still have what looks like a towel or a carpet as a background for yourself! Carpet/towel diorama coming soon? All jokes aside, Cory was very interesting. We learned how he gets inspiration from the stories of the characters to make awesome pictures.

THE HASLAB SENTINEL CAN GO FULL-JEAN CLAUDE VAN DAMME!

The Marvel Legends team provided some updates on the Haslab Sentinel, which is a thing of beauty, and even gave one away to a lucky winner! During the update part, they’ve shown us the range of articulations, and it looks like your Sentinel can do the split (as long as you apologize for holding him by the crotch)! That’s super cool! Oh yeah, the guy from the Black Eyed Peas was there too.

THE CYBERTRON SPREE IS YOUR NEW FAVORITE BAND

At the end of the party, we enjoyed some music (what’s a party without music?), and for a lot of us, it was a first introduction to a band called ‘The Cybertronic Spree’, which is totally awesome. According to their own website: “These rockstars in disguise play music from The Transformers: The Movie, hit film and anime songs, and video game covers”, while rocking Transformers costume the entire time. Amazing!

AND FINALLY: THE CHAT WAS PURE 100% TOXIC ASS-JUICE

Wow. That was bad. Before the event even started, people were already in the chat being a**holes, insulting Hasbro and each other. When the event started, it was even worse. Kudos to Hasbro for closing that sh*t down really fast. The event was much more enjoyable without the “fans” crapping on the event, pretending to be other people (several Unparalleled Universe spotted!), trying to highjack it, and making it about themselves. It’s moments like this that make you ashamed to be a toy collector and be part of that crowd... In the future, maybe we could have the accounts linked to the event, so that the people responsible can be accountable and get their premium membership revoked or something? Anyway…

ToyFarce hopes to see you all virtually at the Hasbro Fan Fest event later today for more reveals, and more cool stuff!

SEVERAL MAJOR TOY BRANDS INTERESTED IN THE POWER RANGERS ENTIRE FRANCHISE; WILL INEVITABLY FOCUS ONLY ON MIGHTY MORPHING LINE !

BREAKING NEWS:  

SEVERAL MAJOR TOY BRANDS INTERESTED IN THE POWER RANGERS ENTIRE FRANCHISE; WILL INEVITABLY FOCUS ONLY ON MIGHTY MORPHING LINE !

A lot has happened recently for the ultra popular Power Rangers franchise. The giant American toy maker HASBRO bought the franchise for 522M$ in 2018, and started producing high quality figures of everyone's favorite character (mostly from the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers series). The third party brand ACE TOYZ released beautiful 12inch action figures of the 'Classic Mighty Superheroes', bearing an uncanny resemblance to the Mighty Morphing costumes (wink wink). Meanwhile, BANDAI continues to produce toys for all the Sentai series in Japan, still going strong after 45+ years.  

But is seems that it will not stop there for the teenagers with special powers! Several superstar brands in the toy industry, like the Hong Kong based HOT TOYS, the Japanese MEDICOM (MAFEX), the American SIDESHOW COLLECTIBLES, or the Japanese high-end statue maker PRIME1 STUDIO, have started to show interest in the red, yellow, black, pink and blue franchise (along with sometimes green or white). 

"They are interested in the Power Rangers franchise, but only really to continue milking the MMPR (Mighty Morphing Power Rangers) line. They will probably continue to ignore the 20+ other series, such as Zeo, Turbo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, TimeForce, or whatever came after, and mostly really only do MMPR products. That is what the fans really want: characters from a 27+ year old series.", said "Kakeru", one of ToyFarce News main sources on everything Power Rangers, Sentai and Tokusatsu. "When MMPR will stop to sell, they'll reintroduce the japanese characters from the Zyuranger series instead." (Google it!).
