TOY FAIR 2021 CANCELLED! THIS YEAR WOULD HAVE 100% FOCUSED ON INFLATABLE TOYS!

BREAKING NEWS:

TOY FAIR 2021 CANCELLED! THIS YEAR WOULD HAVE 100% FOCUSED ON INFLATABLE TOYS!

Last year, ToyFarce reported that there were plans for the Toy Fair to focus only on wooden toys that year. Unfortunately, it seems that the big companies like Hasbro, Mattel, Lego, etc… made those plans change at the last minute.

See last year’s article: https://www.toyfarce.com/news//2020/02/toy-fair-2020-to-focus-only-on-wooden.html

Due to the coronavirus situation, it has now been officially announced that there will not be a Toy Fair in 2021. It is a shame because ToyFarce found some info about the theme of this year’s Toy Fair: THIS YEAR’S TOY FAIR WAS GOING TO BE 100% ABOUT INFLATABLE TOYS!

Swimming pool floats, bouncy castles, you name it! This year would have been all about those great, fun outdoor toys that needs to have air blown into them.

It would have been fun, wouldn’t it?

“MOTHER! FREE US FROM OUR SUFFERING!”

"We had decided to do something special this year, and move on from exciting action figures, amazing detailed toys and great playability to have a Toy Fair that would be 100% focus on inflatable toys." said a representative from the Toy Association. "We feel like this is what the collectors really want. We were expecting to break the record of attendance this year, with such a bold move. Unfortunately, it is all cancelled. We’ll try to come up with even more exciting plans for next year!".

MORE TOY COMPANIES TO USE CROWDFUNDING AFTER MCFARLANE TOYS SPAWN KICKSTARTER ANNOUNCEMENT ?!

BREAKING NEWS:

MORE TOY COMPANIES TO USE CROWDFUNDING AFTER MCFARLANE TOYS SPAWN KICKSTARTER ANNOUNCEMENT ?!

The New York Toy Fair is still ongoing and there has been a lot of exciting announcements during the weekend! It seems tons of brands are cashing in on one particular thing this year: Nostalgia! With several brands bringing back the 3¾-inch figures from the past, others bringing us figures like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in packaging that looks like the ones from the past, or Power Rangers from the 90's, all those brands are trying to touch our nostalgic nerve and get us to buy reproductions of figures we already had 30 years ago.

But one particular announcement certainly did not go unnoticed: Todd McFarlane, the "ToddFather" himself, announced his project of a Kickstarter for a revival of the very first wave of Spawn figures from 1995. The goal is to start a Kickstarter for each figure from the set (Spawn, the Clown, Violator, Overkill, Tremor, Medieval Spawn, and an unmasked version of the Spawn, with trademarked 'hamburger-head'), and release them, with today's better, upgraded scuplts, while selling them in the same packaging the original figures had in 1995.

This idea hasn't fallen on deaf ears, as we got the scoop that other toy makers will soon start their own crowdfunding venture. "Todd McFarlane created a multi million dollar business and made a name for himself, through his art, comic book stories and McFarlane Toys, and he is now trying to relaunch Spawn using Kickstarter? This is genius!" said one of the top Toy company representants interviewed at the Toy Fair.

The early rumors ToyFarce News has managed to gather are:

• Howard Chan, from Hot Toys, thinks about starting a GoFundMe to help his multi million dollar brand release figures a bit faster than at current time.
• The toy makers of Hasbro will soon start a Patreon, where they will release pictures of the design, sculpting, prototype, all the processes to make a figure with different levels of payments showing you more if you pay more.
  
• IndieGogo has had conversations with the people from Funko, no details about the subject.
• Mattel to restart their 'MattyCollector' service as a paid subscription, with different tiers.
