SIDESHOW COLLECTIBLES WILL FINALLY RELEASE “THE HAND STAND”!

BREAKING NEWS:

SIDESHOW COLLECTIBLES WILL FINALLY RELEASE “THE HAND STAND”!

We’ve seen it with the Mandalorian…

We’ve seen it with Thanos…

If you ever bought a Hot Toys action figure from Sideshow Collectibles, for example, you might have been disappointed to find out that the hand stand that was displayed with the figure on the pictures from the website did not come with the figure. It has been a sad realization that we all had at some point. But after years of begging for it to be released, “the Hand stand” will finally be available for us to display our figures the same way they are displayed on the website!

The Hand stand will be available in Q3 2022 on Sideshow Collectibles, which is about 4 months after everybody already got one from a store in Hong Kong.

Several other brands, such as Bandai and their S.H.Figuarts have used the Hand stand in their promo pictures in the past, so maybe we will get other options from other brands in the near future! Perhaps a Hand stand…with a glove! What a time to be alive!

More news at 11:00… we’re all hands on this!

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.

MULTIPLE CUSTOMERS ORDER IRON MAN MK VII, RECEIVE MK L OR MK XXXVIII...OR IS IT MK XLVIII...

BREAKING NEWS:

MULTIPLE CUSTOMERS ORDER IRON MAN MK VII, RECEIVE MK L OR MK XXXVIII...OR IS IT MK XLVIII...

It has been a first in all our years of reporting, that this happened in such a scale!
A very famous provider in the western hemisphere seems to have messed up order en masse this year. Several customers who had ordered an Iron man Mk VII ended up getting a Mk XLVIII, while some others receiced a Mk XLVI when ordering a Mk XLVII, and others got a Mk L instead of a Mk VII.
One might wonder what will happen when Mk LXXXV will come out! Will customers received a Mk LXXXV or will it be a Mk XLIX, or even a Mk VIII in the box or a Mk XXXVII? What about the battle damaged version? Will customers get the battle damaged Mk LXXXV or just receive the non battle damaged Mk LXXXV, or a battle damaged Mk III instead? What about the rare XLVII? And if you throw in the MMS numbers into it, what will happen? Will a MMS538 Mk XLIX be delivered instead of a MMS543 Mk LXXXV? What about the MMS528 Mk LXXXV? In the year Mk MMXIX, is it not possible to avoid mistakes like that?
The cause of all this trouble has been found, as the provider reported that one of their employees at the distribution center never learned to read roman numerals in school. He has now been given a course and everything should be back to normal.
I, for one (in roman numerals), and ToyFarce News wish you all a wonderful end of the year Mk MMXIX and a happy new year Mk MMXX!

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF - BOBA FETT MYTHOS DELAYED BECAUSE OF EYE INJURY

BREAKING NEWS:

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF - BOBA FETT MYTHOS DELAYED BECAUSE OF EYE INJURY.

The long-awaited Boba Fett Mythos figure, by Sideshow Collectibles, announced in July 2018, seems to have been postponed yet again. The bounty Hunter figure was first set to be released in Summer 2019.
Our team of reporters has managed to uncover the reason behind this delay: A factory worker, who was handling the prototype of the figure suffered an injury to his eye from the figure's rocket firing jet pack, in a similar incident that happened with the original 1979 Kenner figure, which was never released.
Coincidentally, the factor employee, Michael M., is actually the brother of the person who had the eye injury back in 1979, as a child. "I think we will stay away from anything related to Boba Fett from now on", said Michael. "I mean, 40 years later, who would have thought? Well, at least, now we'll have matching eye patches with my brother...", he added.
The figure will be redesigned in order to not allow the rocket to be launched.
