TOY NEWS INTERNATIONAL WELCOMES TOYFARCE!
In an incredible turn of event during the Toy Draft of 2021 (yay, sports!), Jay C and Toy News International decided to join forces with ToyFarce to try to bring some laughter in a world of toy-related sadness, delays and unattainable exclusives.
BREAKING NEWS:
TOYFARCE HAS BEEN DRAFTER TO TOY NEWS INTERNATIONAL!
Bigger than Peyton Manning being drafter to Indianapolis (thank you, Google!), bigger than The Undertaker being drafter to RAW… (remember his reaction?)
ToyFarce is a parody/satire page about the world of toys and collectibles. In an incredible turn of event during the Toy Draft of 2021 (yay, sports!), Jay C and Toy News International decided to join forces with ToyFarce to try to bring some laughter in a world of toy-related sadness, delays and unattainable exclusives.
ToyFarce's agent commented on the draft: "We are very excited to join the Toy News International team, and we hope that we'll win the championship next year!".
Going forward, all ToyFarce posts will be exclusively on Toy News International. Rest assured, it will still be the same old ToyFarce flavor, we're not going for a "New Coke"/"Crystal Pepsi" deal here! Nothing will change on the social media side, and #ToyMemesTuesday is not canceled. It will still be the same format: Fresh and exclusive (parody/satire) news on mondays and fridays, and honest reviews with a dash of humor on wednesdays.
ToyFarce would like to thank everyone who supported, liked, shared and commented throughout the first 2 years, and Jay C for the incredible opportunity.

HASBRO PULSE MONITOR: A NEW PRODUCT?
BREAKING NEWS:
HASBRO PULSE MONITOR: A NEW PRODUCT?
The Hasbro Pulse Con 2021 occured on friday and saturday, and there were many awesome action figures reveals. Mighty Morphing Power Rangers monsters, Ghostbusters proton packs, more G.I.Joe characters, X-Men the animated series figures and Weezer playing songs made us wonder for a second “Wait, what year is this?”, but overall it was a great event! We had a watch-along with some friends in the community and had a good time. Another event is scheduled on 10/27, but only for Pulse premium members.
ToyFarce heard from an anonymous source (don’t worry, Robert G., you secret is safe with me!) that Hasbro might reveal a new product during that event: the Hasbro Pulse Monitor!
The Hasbro Pulse Monitor will be a wearable device that syncs to your Hasbro Pulse app, with several never-before-seen features, such as:
- Reminders to not miss any items when they ‘drop’, or to remind you to ‘FOMO’ on Haslab projects.
- Checking your heartrate/body temperature after you miss a pre-order to evaluate if you need to get help to cope with it. A therapist will be available at all time in the app.
- Spousal alerts*, to warn your significant other if you spent more than expected. If you heart rate rises up when placing your orders, an automatic notification will be sent. (* This feature can be disabled at any moment).
- Alexa enabled, to automatically order tissues and play comforting music if you miss out on something. Just say “Alexa, I missed a pre-order” and we’ll take care of the rest.
No info on how the device will look like yet. Release date not communicated yet.
Special thanks to Robert Gines, ToyFarce Super Fan on Facebook, for the idea and the mock ups!

NECA ANNOUNCES MORE UNIVERSAL MONSTERS FIGURES, BUT FROM THE WRONG UNIVERSE…

BREAKING NEWS:
NECA ANNOUNCES MORE UNIVERSAL MONSTERS FIGURES, BUT FROM THE WRONG UNIVERSE…
It’s October, and NECA has been doing their Monster Madness, with “31 Nights of Fright”, revealing something new everyday for the whole month of october. When we’re lucky, it’s a new figure revealed, but when we’re not, they’ll just reveal the packaging of something announced months ago (Still a reveal! STILL COUNTS!). Between packaging reveals, brand new figures have been announced, such as a beautiful Elvira figure, more Gargoyles, a Gremlins accessory pack (Accessory packs, SO HOT RIGHT NOW!) and a new Ash figure from the original Evil Dead movie.
Before that, NECA had been killing it with the announcements of Universal Studio Monsters figures from the classic films. The Frankenstein monster figure, colored and black/white versions,have been out for a while, with the Wolfman and the Mummy to follow soon. More teases have been made, and we cannot wait to see a classic Dracula, Swamp Thing,… and all the others to be revealed.
UNFORTUNATELY… on their latest reveal, NECA announced that they will continue making those Universal Monsters figure that everyone likes, but from their modern adaptation… the now-defunct Dark Universe!
Remember when we were excited about that? Good times. It was a thursday.
Indeed, the Dark Universe was supposed to be the modern adaptation of all the classic Universal Monster movies. “The Mummy” movie came out, and… that’s pretty much all it did. It came out. No one went to see it. “The Invisible Man”, with Elizabeth Moss was pretty good actually, and supposedly part of that ‘multiverse’. Depending on who you ask, “Dracula Untold” is either part of that Dark Universe or not. It’s a mess… and it inevitably failed.
Pictured below: The Dark Universe promo photo, where Russel Crowe would play Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde, Javier Bardem as the Frankenstein monster, Tom Cruise as Sgt.Morton in “The Mummy”, Johnny Depp as the Invisible Man, and Sofia Boutella as the Mummy.
Witness the beginning (and the end) of the Dark Universe - “We’re all very excited for nothing to happen” - them, probably
ToyFarce wishes that it was just a mistake and that a better reveal will be available today. I mean, at this point, even a packaging reveal would cheer us, right?
More news at 11:00… RIP Dark Universe

MEZCO, ARE WE GOOD? IS IT SOMETHING WE SAID?
Over the last few days, multiple collectors have been receiving their Mossquatch from Mezco, and started to wonder if they did anything wrong.
BREAKING NEWS:
MEZCO, ARE WE GOOD? IS IT SOMETHING WE SAID?
Over the last few days, multiple collectors have been receiving their Mossquatch from Mezco, and started to wonder if they did anything wrong. Mezco is usually known to have good protection in their packages, along with extra goodies (stickers, a mez-itz blind bag which turns out to always be a golden grub,…). This time, Mossquatch was delivered without any bubble wrap, or any goodies. Something is off. ToyFarce investigated…
Multiple collectors, like @toy_bro, took to the internet to mention their package came with barely enough protection, in the form of a plastic sheet around the box.
@Prime2da1st on Instagram immediately wondered what was going on with his relationship with Mezco…
Collector Granger Benson on Facebook even mentioned that his Mossquatch arrived with a damaged box, and that Mezco would NOT send him a replacement (either a refund, or keep the figure with the damaged box)
Additionally, several items were discreetely delayed on the website, with their release dates pushed to the next quarter. You can see what was delayed on this very helpful graphic by @fabster360
ToyFarce sent a message to Mezco, and only received a reply saying “I’m fine.”
The only explanation is… we, collectors, must have done or said something that Mezco didn’t like, and we are now getting the cold shoulder. What was it? How can we know if Mezco is giving us the silent treatment? It’s going to be tricky.
To Mezco: How are you doing? Is there anything wrong? Talk to us. We can work things our if you tell us what is wrong… Please? I bought ice cream…
Update: Mezco’s status as now been “Typing…” for several minutes now. Please send help.

SCALPERS: PUTTING THE ‘CON’ IN ‘COMIC CON’!
This weekend, the New York Comic Con took place in New York’s Javits Center, and who says NYCC, says NYCC exclusives!
BREAKING NEWS:
SCALPERS: PUTTING THE ‘CON’ IN ‘COMIC CON’!
This weekend, the New York Comic Con took place in Manhattan’s Javits Center, and who says NYCC, says NYCC exclusives! As usual, the reselling community and members of the S.C.A.L.P. found a way to get everyone’s most coveted items, using tricks and deception, so that they can resell them on eBay! ToyFarce interviewed Jerry, who went to NYCC all weekend long to try to score some of those exclusives.
One of NYCC’s most coveted items this year was none other than the *inhales* NYCC 2021 S.H. Figuarts Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Son Goku Kaio-Ken - Event Exclusive Color Edition!
“Those exclusives are getting trickier to get every year”, said Jerry. “This year, you had to reserve it, and you could only get 1 by person. But as usual, they underestimated the ingenuity of the S.C.A.L.P. I came prepared!”.
Jerry managed to get 3 of those items that were limited to 1 per person, using clever and undetectable disguise.
“On the second day, they were onto me, so I called my aunt Lucy, and she came with my 2 nephews, so that we could get a couple more. The problem is, one of those kids actually like that toy and want to keep it. I’m gonna have to bribe him, and trade it with another exclusivetoy that I got from last year that I still haven’t sold on eBay”. Tough luck, Jerry…

JNCO MAKING A COMEBACK, SO YOU CAN HAVE YOUR HASLAB SENTINEL AS A POCKET FIG!
The first part is not even a joke: JNCO are really trying to reintroduce themselves to the world, and want us to shop “groundbreaking wide-leg denim and streetwear that’s unapologetically you”.
BREAKING NEWS:
JNCO MAKING A COMEBACK, SO YOU CAN HAVE YOUR HASLAB SENTINEL AS A POCKET FIG!
Last week, an ex-student from a fashion/design school from New York, working for PWM industry (@playing_with_myself) revealed during an appearance in @highschoolcreations ‘Diorama Talk’ live show that JNCO were planning to make a comeback. It was mentioned that due to the size of the Haslab Sentinel, people might need bigger pockets if they want to have their Sentinel as a pocket fig, and JNCO heard that call. The first part is not even a joke: JNCO are really trying to reintroduce themselves to the world, and want us to shop “groundbreaking wide-leg denim and streetwear that’s unapologetically you”.
This is an actual Facebook ad. This is not a drill.
“Collectible items”. Damn, they really know how to make us want those, right? They’re collectibles!
This is an actual tweet from 2019, so it looks like it’s not their first attempt at a comeback…
LOOK AT THOSE SEX-HAVERS!
Thanks to the cheer size of those pants and pockets, you can now bring your Sentinel along anywhere you go as a pocket fig, whether it is at home, in a park, at work (provided you still have a job after they saw you wear those pants), etc…
It’s called ‘Fashion’, look it up!
“Wheeeeee!”
(I wonder what that guy is up to nowadays… is the professional reconversion easy after being a JNCO model?)
ToyFarce would like to thank Adam, from PMW industry for the reveal (you thought I didn’t hear you, didn’t you?).

FIGMA: “WE WILL NOW STOP MAKING ‘ANIME WAIFUS’… SIKE! HERE ARE 25+ MORE!”
Good Smile Company, the Japanese manufacturer behind the Nendoroids and Figma action figure lines, held a short press conference to make an important announcement.
BREAKING NEWS:
FIGMA: “WE WILL NOW STOP MAKING ‘ANIME WAIFUS’… SIKE! HERE ARE 25+ MORE!”
The WonderFest 2021 (Autumn edition) occured during the weekend, and several of our favorite asian (or ‘import’) brands revealed tons of new toys. Good Smile Company, the Japanese manufacturer behind the Nendoroids and Figma action figure lines, held a short press conference to make an important announcement. A japanese representative of GSC, in a suit, walked to the stage, and gave the following speech:
“We, at Good Smile Company, want to give you the best possible products. We know our fans love the Nendoroid figures, and that there is some concern over the Figma line, who seems to heavily rely on delivering only anime girls, often cute or sexy, to the market. We wanted to reassure you on that matter: From now on, Figma will stop making “anime waifus” (the crowd let out a huge collective gasp)… SIKE! Here are 25+ more!” (the crowd popped, several grown men were seen crying of pure joy).
Here are some of the MANY figures that Figma revealed this weekend:
(There was also a cool Mummy figure with a sarcophagus, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, …figures displayed, but nobody realized they were here because of the abundance of anime girls).
ToyFarce hopes that no collectors were scared by that announcement with a twist, and that all your waifus needs will be fulfilled, whether it is by Figma or any other ‘import’ company.
More news at 11:00… SIKE!

MUTANT FIGURES FEELING A BIT UNEASY SINCE ARRIVAL OF THE HASLAB SENTINEL!
“There goes the neighborhood” said C. Xavier, a resident from your collection.
BREAKING NEWS:
MUTANT FIGURES FEELING A BIT UNEASY SINCE ARRIVAL OF THE HASLAB SENTINEL!
“There goes the neighborhood” said C. Xavier, a resident from your collection.
The Sentinels are starting to pop up in some collections, and there has been some unrest among the mutant action figures community. ToyFarce interviewed a few representatives of the X-Men about the situation.
You could cut the tension with an adamantium claw…
“We had a great thing going on here”, said Iceman, a long time resident of the mutant shelf. “People had entire shelves dedicated to mutants, with kick-ass displays, and we could really shine. We knew that things might change when they first announced the Haslab Sentinel, but we didn’t know how much it would change.”
The Haslab Sentinel, happily strutting in your collection
Maverick told ToyFarce “We had the best of times. We had our own shelves, but now we’ll have to share it with one of *those*… We’ve seen people displaying the Sentinel fighting mutants on their displays, so now, I guess we’ll have to be in fighting poses, after years of being displayed all together… It’s just not the same… We might have to move to another shelf. Maybe the Avengers one?”
The awesome mutant shelves pictures were provided by the amazing @custombymatchu
We hope we won’t get another Marvel / DC figures situation, where the DC figures had to be moved to a different shelf. We’ll keep you informed as things develop! If anything, we can only give one advice to the mutants in your collection…”GO FOR THE KNEES!”
