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

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

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!

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

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 show. They say lightning never strikes twice at the same time, right? Well…

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?

Remember this?

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

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)

*PEW!* (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!

REVIEW: BANDAI MOVIE REALIZATION STAR WARS - RONIN MANDALORIAN

Today, we’re taking a look at the Ronin Mandalorian from the Movie Realization Star Wars line from Bandai!

BANDAI MOVIE REALIZATION STAR WARS - RONIN MANDALORIAN!

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

Today, we’re taking a look at the Ronin Mandalorian from the Movie Realization Star Wars line from Bandai!

The Movie Realization line from Bandai is that awesome line where they take characters from either Star Wars or Marvel, and give them a feudal Japan look. And oh boy, do they look great! Darth Vader as a Samurai, the Stormtroopers, Darth Maul as a demon (Oni), Boba and Jango Fett as Ronin,… They are all very cool. The latest release was the Ronin Mandalorian, which came out on the Premium Bandai website in the USA (I believe it was even exclusive to the USA, since I still haven’t seen it on my usual japanese websites).

For those unfamiliar with the line, the boxes all have that Star Wars quote inside the box. Such a nice little detail, that make you feel at home right away!

The Ronin Mandalorian figure comes with extra sets of hands (as all the other figures from that line did), a small sword and sheath, his blaster gun and his rifle. Not many accessories, but I guess he didn’t need them. A Grogu would have been nice, looking like a Japanese frog or something, but I’m staying hopeful that the IG-88 that never came out, that they teased over the last 2 years at various Comic Cons, will be reworked into IG-11 and come with it!

First impression: “Damn, that is a good looking figure.”

Only missing the white “prototype” Boba Fett and the second Samurai Darth Vader. There is also a Comic Con exclusive version of the Sandtrooper where he has a black shoulder pad instead of orange, but that’s just silly.

Admiral Ackbar and IG-88 have been shown at various comic cons for a couple of years now, but never came out, so no idea what the future holds for the line. Hopefully, more to come, but that shelf is definitely running out of space, though… #CollectorsProblems

WHO BROKE THE INTERNET? G.I.JOE AND STAR WARS COLLECTORS BOTH CLAIM TO HAVE CRASHED WEBSITES AT 1 PM!

Yesterday (June 10th, 2021), at 1pm EST, many toy websites were in turmoil, as several pre-orders hit all at the same time, causing some crashes.

BREAKING NEWS:

WHO BROKE THE INTERNET? G.I.JOE AND STAR WARS COLLECTORS BOTH CLAIM TO HAVE CRASHED WEBSITES AT 1 PM!

Yesterday (June 10th, 2021), at 1pm EST, many toy websites were in turmoil, as several pre-orders hit all at the same time, causing some crashes. But let’s rewind a little...

A week ago, during the Hasbro Pulse: Fan First Friday Yo Joe! livestream, the Hasbro G.I.Joe team announced a new G.I.Joe Classified Series set, including Snake Eyes and Timber, that would be available for pre-order on June 10th, at 1pm EST.

Classified-Alpha-Commandos-2-Pack-01.jpg
Classified-Alpha-Commandos-2-Pack-06.jpg

Then, this week, during the Hasbro Pulse: I am your father’s day Star Wars livestream, the Hasbro Star Wars team announced a plethora of figures (a new Rogue One Black Series wave, Black Series archives figures, and a new wave of The Vintage Collection), and all those figures would all become available for pre-order…you guessed it right…on June 10th, at 1pm EST.

Screenshot_20210611-110958__01.jpg
Screenshot_20210611-110944__01.jpg

So, of course, the inevitable happened. Tons of G.I.Joe and Star Wars collectors rushed to the big toy websites, which caused some of them to crash and become unavailable for some time. Some met crashes on Hasbro Pulse’s website. Others on Entertainment Earth or Big Bad Toy Store.

Here’s what we saw at 1pm EST…

Here’s what we saw at 1pm EST…

ToyFarce has now witnessed people in Star Wars collectors Facebook groups that claim, with pride, that it is thanks to them that all the websites crashed. Others, in G.I.Joe groups, say that it is thanks to the G.I.Joe fans that the websites couldn’t handle the traffic. ToyFarce interviewed a random person from each side:

G.I.Joe collector: “Of course, it’s the Joe fans that crashed all! And on ‘Yo Joe! June’, no less! It’s our month! Have you seen that Snake Eyes and Timber set? It’s amazing! I’m sure all the G.I.Joe collectors worldwide logged in at the same time at 1pm EST sharp to get that one! We all know that, and you know what they say about knowing… YO JOE!”

Star Wars collector: “It’s obvious to me that it is the Star Wars collectors that crashed Hasbro Pulse, Big Bad Toy Store and the others. There were more figures coming out for us, so we have the strength in numbers! Like Han Solo, we shot first! The Star Wars collectors take that win!”

The S.C.A.L.P association refused to comment on which side they were on, but it is fair to assume that their bots probably had something to do with the crashes as well.

Either way, whether it is the G.I.Joe or the Star Wars collectors that crashed all the websites in order to get their new figures, the clear winner in this story is Hasbro! Next time, have a few Marvel Legends figures available for pre-orders at the same time too!

REVIEW: LEGO STAR WARS DARTH VADER AND SCOUT TROOPER HELMETS

LEGO STAR WARS DARTH VADER AND SCOUT TROOPER HELMETS!

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

Star Wars day (May, the 4th) was only a few days ago, and these 2 lego sets showed up at my door right on time! (Reviews are usually posted earlier, but I had not finished those 2 yet. Apologies for the delay! I’m sure plenty of collectors were worried about not seeing a review posted at the usual time, right?).

The Darth Vader box is slightly bigger than all the other ones.

The Darth Vader box is slightly bigger than all the other ones.

I had already picked up the first 3 that came out last year (Boba Fett, a Stormtrooper and a Tie Fighter pilot) and had been blown away by the quality, size and fun aspect of those sets. Let’s get started with the Scout Trooper!

The Scout Trooper looks pretty good as a Lego! It took around 1h/1h30 to build, while watching TV. It would probably take a shorter time if you focus just on that. I like those Lego sets that can be done pretty fast! Now, it’s Vader time (the Darth one)!

Those Lego sets are very fun and look great on a shelf. Lego has also made some Marvel ones (Iron Man, which does not look good AT ALL to me, and more recently Carnage and Venom), and a Batman one just came out, which I might have to pick. Here are the 2 new Star Wars ones, along with the previous ones!

And, well, here’s a scene from the movie “Fanboys” :

So now, the question is, still from the movie “Fanboys”: “What if it sucks?”

Imagine, one of the characters you just bought might be their Jar Jar. Oh no… What are we gonna do? What do you think?

We will see in september, when the movie comes out! (but honestly, it looks like it kicks asses).

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

Yesterday, Hasbro Pulse held their first Premium member party. Here is what we learned during this live event!

PicsArt_04-09-11.32.21.jpg

BREAKING NEWS:

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

Screenshot_20210409-115302__01.jpg

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!

Cannon-Ball__scaled_600.png

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?

Hasbro-Pulse-Fan-Fest-Premium-Party.png

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!

Screenshot_20210409-114830__01.jpg

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

image0.png

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!

More news at 11:00… MORE THAN MEETS THE EEEEEEYE!

This week, we’re reviewing the Deluxe version of The Mandalorian & The Child from Hot Toys. Yep. The figure was ordered on KGHobby as soon as it was announced, and arrived last week. As expected, it is a gorgeous piece! What it is lacking in articulations and poseability (the suit gets in the way a lot), it makes up for it with how amazing it looks. Two Grogu/Baby Yoda (yes, two!), tons of great accessories and possibilities, , it’s a very, very nice set!

CALLING FIGURES FROM THE 90’S AND EARLY 2000’S “RETRO” PERFECLY LEGAL (ALLEGEDLY)!

You might have seen it and felt a pinch in the heart when a brand like Hasbro calls toys from your childhood “retro”, but it turns out that it’s ok…

BREAKING NEWS:

CALLING FIGURES FROM 90’S AND EARLY 2000’S “RETRO” PERFECTLY LEGAL (ALLEGEDLY)!

You might have seen it and felt a pinch in the heart when a brand like Hasbro calls toys from your childhood “retro”, but it turns out that it’s ok…

The ‘Retro’ craze started years ago, most likely with the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection from Hasbro, which had the same packaging and design as the original vintage figures from the 70’s and 80’s.

Nowadays, Hasbro is continuing to play with nostalgia, releasing figures from many of their lines (Marvel Legends, Star Wars: The Black Series, Transformers,…) with a packaging similar to the one we had when we were kids/younger.

But recently, Hasbro has been using for their Marvel Legends figures retro line, the same designs as the X-Men, Spider-man, Fantastic Four figures from Toy Biz from the mid to late 90’s. Even more shocking, they announced during a recent Fan First Friday that the next Star Wars: The Black Series “retro” figures would be based on the Star Wars Episode 1 figures which came out in 1999 and early 2000… Is this still considered “retro”?

ToyFarce asked several experts, and also found on wikipedia that: “Retro style is a style that is imitative or consciously derivative of lifestyles, trends, or art forms from the historical past, including in music, modes, fashions, or attitudes. In popular culture, the "nostalgia cycle" is typically for the two decades that are 20–30 years before the current one.”

So… yeah. We’re just getting old. It’s perfectly normal and legal to call something from 2 decades ago “retro”. If we are to believe this, Facebook, Youtube, the iPod, the iPhone, the Playstation 2 and the Playstation 3, the XBox and XBox 360, the Gamecube and the Wii should all become “retro” during this decade. Ouch?

COULD THE SARLACC PIT BE THE NEXT HASLAB PROJECT?

The folks at HasLab have been pretty quiet since the successful end of the Razor Crest crowdfunding project, so it is time for us to speculate on what’s coming next!

It’s time to put our sunglasses on and go dune-surfing on Tatooine!

The folks at HasLab have been pretty quiet since the successful end of the Razor Crest crowdfunding project, so it is time for us to speculate on what’s coming next!

They have already released the gorgeous (and huge!) Jabba’s Sail Barge through HasLab, so it would make total sense that the next project could be a scaled Sarlacc Pit to display next to it!

“In his belly, you will find a new definition of pain and suffering, as you are slowly digested over a thousand years.”

Did that quote ever bother anyone else? I mean, you probably die of starvation or dehydration way before that, right? Or does it keep you fed and alive the whole time? Sounds like a lot of work. Anyway…

The last time the Sarlacc Pit came out in toy form was in 2008, as part of a Battle Pack called ‘Battle at the Sarlacc Pit’ (ingenious, huh?), from the Legacy Collection line, so it is long overdue!

ToyFarce can already imagine what the different rewards unlocked after reaching each goals could be!

UNLOCK 1: SAND!

Bags of sand provided, so your diorama can even look more realistic! Authentic sand from Tatooine (Tunisia/Yuma)!

UNLOCK 2: A BOBA FETT “SNACK” FOR YOUR SARLACC

It goes without saying that the Sarlacc might be hungry after travelling to your home, so it’s nice to know that it would come up with a snack!

UNLOCK 3: ANATOMY POSTER!

For the people who always wondered what a full Sarlacc looks like but never dared to look: We got you covered!

UNLOCK 4: THE FULL GODDAMN THING!

If the project reaches a certain amount, HasLab should go ahead and just do the entire Sarlacc, instead of just stopping at the mouth. You already have bags of sand from the 1st unlock, so you can bury most of it in it, and you will know that the entire thing is there. Look at it, it’s so cute!! I wish I had a Sarlacc plushie…

Will they ever make it ? Well, we don’t know. The closest thing that is available for us is a series of stickers/decals that can be installed in your toilet bowl, but the things falling in it are completely different than a Boba Fett figure… (Also, we do not advise dumping a Boba Fett figure in there!).

We’ll see what the future holds for us in HasLab as soon as they have an idea. Oh, and to HasLab: I am available for consulting if you need more ideas!
