MATTEL CREATION WWE ULTIMATE CROWDFUNDED RING UNLOCKS REVEALED!

BREAKING NEWS:

MATTEL CREATION CROWDFUNDED RING UNLOCKS REVEALED!

“OOOOOUH YEAH!”

Mattel announced a few weeks ago their first ever crowdfund campaign during the comic con. Their first campaign is for the WWE Ultimate Edition New Generation Arena, which comes with a scaled ring, complete with planks and fabric details (one of the most realistic looking ring we’ve seen!), the classic New Generation neon entrance and an Ultimate action figure of Diesel (because who doesn’t want an Ultimate Diesel, right?).

Promo pics!

You can now feel like a member of the crew building the ring before a night of sports-entertaiment!

The ring will need 5,000 backers to become a reality, and like its Haslab Galactus counterpart, is a bit struggling to reach its goal… A couple of “unlocks” (stretch goals, tiers, whatever they are called this week) has already been revealed:

At 7,000 backers, they will throw in an Ultimate Doink the Clown figure! YAY!

At 8,000 backers, you will get additional skirts, so that you can dress your ring up like a girl! (In Your House, and Wrestlemania ring skirts).

Right now, there is also an Early bird exclusive pack! If you back the ring before today 9pm PT, you will get a Macho Man figure along with the announcer’s table!

Even “Big Sexy” Kevin Nash nonchalantly promoted it! “I’m not getting paid, but here it is. It has boards.”… MAXIMUM EFFORT!

ToyFarce managed to get an exclusive look at the remaining unlocks just for you! Yes, you!

At 7,001 backers, Mattel will add Dink the Clown to go with Doink, which makes it now totally worth it (If this had been the first unlock announced, this thing would be funded already!)

At 9,000 backers, you will get neon trumpets to go with the entrance! (Mandatory trumpet running gag joke).

At 10,000 backers, you will get an extra “Spanish announcers table set”, with a table that will inevitably be broken by the end of the next PPV of your figure federation!

If the ring is not funded 3 days before the end, Mattel will go with the “When in doubt, just add a Hulk Hogan figure” protocol, which should give enough motivation to fund the damn thing… BROTHER!

Finally, at 12,000 backers, they will add a kit to turn it into the Ultimate Attitude Era arena. Let’s face it, this is what it should have been all along. The set would have been funded on the first day if it was anything “Attitude Era” related, so this is a good back up plan. Ring skirts, add-on pieces for the entrance, enough extras to bring the Ultimate Attitude Era ring as the true centerpiece of your collection.

Don’t forget to back the Mattel Creation Ultimate New Generation arena playset before 9pm PT today to get the Early bird Exclusive Macho Madness Announcers pack! Ooooouh yeah!

REVIEW: MATTEL’S WWE ULTIMATE THE FIEND

TOYFARCE REVIEWS:

MATTEL’S WWE ULTIMATE THE FIEND!

It's Wednesday. You know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!

Yowie wowie! It’s Wrestlemania week so we’re gonna review a WWE figure, with none other than Bray Wyatt’s evil doppelganger, The Fiend!

Since I received this figure, some strange things happened in my house, but we’ll see how this goes…

Here’s the packaging!

The usual white and red packaging for WWE Ultimates figures, with a great design. Those boxes are great.

“BLEP!”

What the…

The figure just… vanished… There’s some strange screeching sound coming from the cupboard… I’m scared.

There he is!

“LET ME IN”

The figure comes with his jacket and extra arms to go with it, a second head with the tongue out, and his Fiend-designed belt from when he was the WWE Champion.

As I was taking pictures of the accessories, the lights turned off and the figure disappeared again. Please send help. I heard some noise coming from a miscellaneous shelf…

Oh, hi Plunderlings and MK Trumpet Spawn!

'“BLEP!”

*Annoying screeching sound and laughs*

“LET. ME. IN.”

I have to make some space on the small WWE shelf for him…

“BLEP!” …or I can let him do that…

OK! FINE, YOU CAN COME IN!

Like all Ultimates before him, the Fiend has some decent articulation. The detail on all the tattoos is really good, it was nice to be able to look at exactly what he has on his arms. The 2 heads are perfectly creepy. I do prefer the look with the jacket, but he also looks great without.

Creepy!

Time for an unsuspecting figure to be the Fiend’s prey…

The Mandible Claw!

Sister Abigail!!

ToyFarce pulled some strings and managed to get an exclusive sneak peek on the new design of the figure, after the Fiend was burned alive by Randy Orton a couple of months ago. He came back with a new design, which looks exactly like that!

*Annoying screeching sounds*

Not the YETAY!

We’re in for some wacky cinematic match this weekend, when the Fiend will face Randy Orton on one of the 2 nights of Wrestlemania. Be sure to check it out!

More news at 11:00… LET HIM IN!

THE UNDERTAKER SHOOTS ON MATTEL WWE FIGURES!

BREAKING NEWS:

THE UNDERTAKER SHOOTS ON MATTEL WWE FIGURES!

Last week, WWE Legend The Undertaker (Mark Calaway) was the guest of Joe Rogan’s podcast on Spotify. During that interview, he said many things that ended up doing the headlines of all wrestling/sports websites, including :

-About WWE: “The product has changed so much, now it’s kinda soft. I'll probably piss a lot of people off, but they need to hear it. I just think the product is a little soft. There's guys here and there that have an edge to them, but there's too much pretty, not enough substance right now”.

-About old times: “In that era of guys, too, those were men, you walk into a dressing room nowadays and it's a lot different. I remember walking into my first real dressing room, and all I saw were some crusty fucking men, half of them had guns and knives in their bags. Shit just got handled back then. Now, you walk in and there's guys playing video games and fucking making sure they look pretty”.

It’s like the Phenom made that interview with the only purpose to make friends!

ToyFarce heard that in the full unedited version of the interview, the Deadman also had some words about Mattel and WWE action figures!

“Have you seen the latest figures of me? The jacket is too rigid! It’s made of hard plastic, so kids or collectors can’t pose me at all when wearing the jacket. I have to have that awkward pose where i stand up with my shoulders up and my arms a feet away from my hips… And it’s not only me, Edge got that too! And when they do the soft fabric ones? It looks like I’m wearing a bathrobe…”

“Gee, Undertaker, why don’t you tell us what’s bothering you, huh?”

ToyFarce admits that the Phenom has a point. Those jackets are nice but never perfect. The hard rigid ones are just annoying to remove/put back, and the default pose with them is indeed awkward.

“Back in the days, you had the “Bone-Crunching Action” figures from Jakks Pacific. Man, those were real toys! Back then, a kid could hurt himself with the figures, like pinch his fingers or something. Nowadays, everything is too damn safe."

We will report to you if we hear more from that interview!

REVIEW: MATTEL WWE ULTIMATE EDITION TRIPLE H AND THE ROCK

TOYFARCE REVIEW:

REVIEW: MATTEL WWE ULTIMATE EDITION TRIPLE H AND THE ROCK

Mattel has been doing a decent job with the WWE Elite figures for years, but I had yet to get any of the ‘Ultimate Edition’ ones. After trying to convince myself that I didn’t need it for months, I saw a review online that convinced me otherwise (Thanks, Adventures in Collecting Podcast youtube channel!).

I picked up Triple H and Rock “The Dwayne” Johnson because I started watching wrestling in the late 90’s, and saw those 2 guys become huge main eventers and their feuds were memorable. I always wanted a ‘Ultimate’ The Rock figure (no pun intended…ok, maybe) and this looked like this could be it.

Some packaging shots:

Nice little “easter egg”, when you open the flaps at the top and bottom of the packaging, some catchphrases are hidden there!

I only have an AEW ring, and I can already see the ton of hate mail I would get for that, so I won’t use a ring. It’s too bad. If only I had something cool to display behind… Oh, wait… I know!

The Ultimate edition figures have “Ultimate articulation for authentic poseability”, so we’re gonna put that to the test… Entering first, the most elecrifying man in AAAALL of entertainment:

IF YOU SMEEEEELL…WHAT THE ROCK… IS COOKING! *90’s guitar jamming*

“FINALLY…THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO *INSERT TOWN* !!”

‘The Rock says he is gonna lay the smackdown on Triple H’s candy ass! Bring it!”

TIME TO PLAY THE GAME…

“Triple H’s old theme song, ‘My Time’, is exactly the soundtrack I imagine if there is a war.” - Michael M.

Who loved that theme? It's such an underrated theme… Of course, Motörhead rules (RIP Lemmy), but there was some weird aura about ‘My Time’. A great fit for that time.

And now, there’s water EVERYWHERE.

Can he do the DX crotch chops?

… close enough. At least the tip of his fingers are crossed!

“The Rock says what we got here is a Jabroni who looks like Tarzan, and fights like Jane!” (Remember the Trash Talking Stage from Jakks Pacific? That thing was so cool… I still remember most of the lines!)

An intense staredown before the main event of the evening!

Running knee!

Rock bottom! Rock bottom!

Sharpshooter!

Triple H’s trusted Sledgehammer!

Oh no, this means the end for The Rock…

Pedigree! Pedigree!

Now, for the Most Electrifying move in Sports-Entertainment…

(Hands with pointing fingers would have been great in that set, for The People’s Elbow pose)

The People’s Elbow!

The Rock is the new WWE Champion !

#ANDNEW…

Triple H also comes with his ‘McMahon-Helmsley era’ cap and chainmail entrance gear… Well, it was the late 90’s… It was legal, then.

“What the hell are you wearing, man?”

“It’s called “fashion”, look it up!”

The Ultimate Edition are great figures with a ton of poseability. So far there’s only been 10 (I might pick up that Ultimate Edition The Fiend, someday…), and I can’t wait for more.

More news at 11:00… Know your role… AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

REVIEW: MATTEL'S WWE ELITE 79 - THE UNDERTAKER (COLLECTOR'S EDITION)

SPOOKTOBER REVIEWS:

MATTEL'S WWE ELITE 79 - THE UNDERTAKER (COLLECTOR'S EDITION)

“Hold on, playa! Tonight, you get to go one-on-one…with the Undertaker!” - Teddy Long

The Undertaker. The Phenom. The Deadman. How about that for Spooktober? Mattel just released that beautiful WWE Elite figure from series 79 of the Undertaker, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of his career. The Undertaker started at Survivor Series in 1990, so this November, it will officially be 30 year of the Undertaker. The real question is: Will he come back from one more match…again…again? :)

Here are some packaging shots:

His Wrestlemania opponent from the cinematic Boneyard match, AJ Styles, is here to welcome him.

Front

Back

This is a really nice update of the Undertaker. I am not a huge fan of the very rigid jacket that they put on those figures, but it does look damn cool on a shelf.

AJ Styles teasing the Phenom…

who removes his jacket very slowly…

and his trusted hat…

*GONG* and thunder

OH MY GOD! The Undertaker with a big boot to the face of AJ! (totally not my hand)

A closer look at that big boot!

The Deadman started off real strong with that boot. Can AJ recover?

The Undertaker grabbed AJ by the throat!

He’s setting him up for one of his signature move, the patented Chokeslam!

CHOKESLAM! CHOKESLAM!

BY GAWD!

He’s taking AJ to the end of the line…

with a TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!

1! 2! 3!

What is this? The Undertaker signals that he wants to bury AJ alive!

(Those are the only coffins we can find at the store these days…)

It's full of candy…

“Are you f*cking kidding me?”

The Phenom is removing the candies from that casket…

And buries AJ Styles alive, yet again!

Signature pose at the end of the match

*GONG*

FAULTY HULK HOGAN TALKING FIGURE STUCK SAYING "BROTHER" IN A LOOP, MAKING IT AN EVEN BETTER HULK HOGAN FIGURE

 

BREAKING NEWS:

FAULTY HULK HOGAN TALKING FIGURE STUCK SAYING "BROTHER" IN A LOOP, MAKING IT AN EVEN BETTER HULK HOGAN FIGURE

With all the wrestling-related content happening in the last few weeks, such as WWE's SummerSlam and Payback happening 2 weeks in a row, AEW's All Out this saturday, and the announcement of the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast action figures ( #ScrathThatFigureItch ), ToyFarce felt like it was time for some wrestling-related news! 

A collector in Michigan reported that, after trying to make his vintage Hulk Hogan action figure talk in order to show it to a friend, the figure's battery must have leaked or some connection must have gotten faulty with time, because the figure kept just repeating "BROTHER" in an infinite loop. 

 "To my surprise, the figure is actually even better now. Having him say "BROTHER" in a constant loop makes it even more accurate and i'm so glad to have him in my collection. It's now my most prized possession. It's the closest to the real thing!" said the collector.

"TIME AND ENERGY", A NEW TAX FROM UNASSUMED SCALPERS ?!

 

BREAKING NEWS:

"TIME AND ENERGY", A NEW TAX FROM UNASSUMED SCALPERS ?!

"Price for this figure is $70, for time and energy". This is the type of offer that a collector can usually read for a figure that cost $29,99 at retail. Those offers generally come with a disclaimer saying that they are not scalpers.

What is "time and energy", you ask? It's the time and energy used by a person driving to the supermarket, where they were going to because they needed groceries anyway, and they happened to stumble upon one of the popular toys that everybody wants, by accident.

ToyFarce News asked mathemacians and experts to try to uncover the truth behind this "time and energy" tax that so many have been adding to inflate their prices, and this is the answer that was given to us, unanimously:

"Time and energy means nothing, they're just scalpers".

We hope that it helped fellow collectors to understand the intricacies behind it.

JAKKS PACIFIC TO MAKE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, THANKS TO TOILET PAPER HOARDERS !!

BREAKING NEWS:

JAKKS PACIFIC TO MAKE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, THANKS TO TOILET PAPER HOARDERS !!

Jakks Pacific, the brand more commonly known for the awesome WWF/E figures between 1996 and 2009, and who came up with innovative playsets like the Titantron Entrance with sounds and lights, seems to have caught lightning in a bottle once again!

In 2018, the brand came up with the "Toilet Paper Blasters", a genius line of toy weapons that would use real, actual toilet paper to shoot spitballs on your enemies. 2 models came out, the "SKID SHOT", to "wipe out the competition" and the "SHEET STORM", with rapid fire spitballs. The Toilet Paper Blasters were well received, but quickly forgotten.

Enter the Covid-19, 2 years later (2020), and people started to panick and buy huge amounts of toilet paper, which became for a few weeks a rare commodity, as all supermarkets across the world were completely sold out, and all the toilet paper sections were empty. People were selling toilet paper and hand sanitizers at a higher price, it was insane! After a few weeks, when people started to realize that you cannot eat toilet paper to survive, they were left with several lifetimes supplies of toilet paper rolls, and most stores were not taking them back. Hundreds of toilet paper rolls, and nothing to do with them, unless... 

"THE TOILET PAPER BLASTERS TO MAKE A HUGE COMEBACK!"

Jakks Pacific saw it as an opportunity, and in a genius marketing stunt, the Toilet Paper Blasters should be back in stores real soon, and are sure to sell like hotcakes! ToyFarce News has already seen some on display at the local toy stores!

WHICH COLLECTOR FACTION DO YOU BELONG IN?

FEATURED ARTICLE:

WHICH COLLECTOR FACTION DO YOU BELONG IN?

ToyFarce News loves all kinds of toy collectors, but toy collectors themselves definitely do NOT love all kinds of toy collectors. There has been several occurences of arguments or fights, whether in the Facebook, Youtube, Instagram or Twitter comment threads. Some collectors will tell others how they should display or handle their collection, even if they are not the ones who paid for it and are not part of those other person's lives.

In the last decade, collectors have been able to witness the formation of different factions, and chose which side they are on. ToyFarce news will now review the 4 major factions from the toy collectors world:

THE CARD FOUNDATION:

The Card Foundation (or Mint on Card Foundation) is for the collectors that keep all their figure mint on card, generally displayed on a wall, which is covered from floor to ceiling. The Card Foundation consider themselves the best collectors there is, the best collectors there was, and the best collectors there ever will be. Keeping an entire wall of blister cards, without ever thinking of opening them, requires a lot of discipline and mental strength, and that is what is needed to join the Card Foundation. 

D-GENERATION SHELF: 

The D-Generation Shelf (or D-SHELF) is a faction for the collectors that display everything that they own on shelves, whether those are wall shelves, floating shelves, book shelves (like on a BILLY bookshelf from Ikea),... They generally favor displaying their figures loose, but can also have a few blister cards or larger boxes displayed behind the loose figures. They are not worried about having to dust their collection every now and then. Sometimes, a figure would fall and cause a domino effect, leading to some of the figures to take a dive from the shelf towards the floor, but that's just one of the things that happens if you're D-SHELF. And if you're not down with that, they've got 2 words for ya... DUST IT!

  

THE NEW BOX ORDER:

The New Box Orded (or nBo) is a special kind of collectors. You might have seen collectors ask sellers 'Does it come with the shipping box?', especially in one sixth scale figure collectors groups. Those collectors will buy an expensive, high-end figure and will never a single time put their eyes on them. The visuals of the box is enough for them. Even better: the quality of the cardboard from the shipping boxes. They will go out of their way to find sellers that will 'double box' their figures, to make sure that the shipping box is in pristine condition. nBo members have pictures from their collection stored in a temperature controlled storage units, and will tell you that when you're nBo, you're nBo for life, BROTHER!

THE DETOLF CLUB:

The Detolf Club is a club of collectors who love to display their collection in glass cabinets (usually Detolf from Ikea, but it could be any other brand). They are not scared of opening their figures and display them in dynamic positions in their cabinets (which another faction, the Museum Posers absolutely hates). True Detolf Club member will also have lights in their cabinets, and some will also have backgrounds or dioramas, to compliment their collections even more. For a Detolf Club member, it is a pleasure to just sit in front of their glass cabinets after a long day, and just admire their collection, taking it all in. There is something about it that is just too sweet...

Of course, there are tons of other factions, like the Briq (lego collectors), the Nation of Customization (who love to repaint/resculpt/kitbash/...), the L.O.O.S.E. squad (who will always open their figures and #LetEmBreathe), the SCALP (a faction of villains who will empty the toy aisle from their stores to sell everything at a higher price), the Youtuberockers (who buy every single toy that come out for review, but you can clearly see that the passion is long gone), and many, many more...

ToyFarce News would like to know about you: Which faction do you belong in?
