EASTER NEWS:

IS IT OK TO ASK FOR ACTION FIGURES INSTEAD OF CHOCOLATE EGGS?

First of all, ToyFarce wishes everyone a happy long Easter weekend!

We received a lot of questions during the weeks prior to Easter asking us that simple, yet important question: Is it ok to ask for action figures instead of chocolate eggs for Easter? We put our investigative hats over the weekend and asked several Easter representative, to be sure to get the right answer.

The E.B.A. (Easter Bunny Association) has answered to us that, legally speaking, it is not against the law to ask for something else than chocolate eggs for Easter. Ethically, it’s a different thing, though… But if you’re diabetic, allergic to chocolate, or on a diet for example, it is sometimes allowed to get a replacement for the traditional chocolate eggs. So, if some adult toy collectors decided that they would prefer to go hunt for figures in their yard, rather than chocolate eggs, it is not forbidden! Go for it, guys!

You heard it here first! Now go get those Easter figs! There could be one behind that tree!! Quick!!

BREAKING NEWS: 

NECA ANNOUNCES INVISIBLE MAN LOOT CRATE !! 

In 2019, the sensational action figure brand NECA (which stands for National Entertainment Collectibles Association) aquired LootCrate, one of the most famous subscription box brand which had filed for bankruptcy earlier that year 

Since then, NECA has been using the LootCrate format to distribute exclusive figures, such as the recently released 'Spirit of Splinter', available only in the TMNT Movie 30th anniversary crate (the one that scalpers are selling for 100$). The crate also offered a t-shirt, some badges and other (useless) items that will end up clogging a drawer as soon as the crate has been received. This week, it was announced that 3 additional TMNT crates would be available, each containing an exclusive figure. A Bonus figure will be also available for those who buy all 3 crates. 

ToyFarce News got the insider scoop that NECA is about to use the same format with their horror movie figures, starting with the highly popular horror film 'The Invisible Man', with Elizabeth Moss. They will release the attached promo pic very soon, along with more info on how to order it. 

The other crates should have a Freddy from Nightmare on Elm's Street's ...remake movie (the one NOT played by Robert Englund), and yet another Jason Vohrees from the Friday 13th movie franchise. The bonus figure should be a Pennywise figure, the clown from It, dressed as a bunny, to mirror the TMNT '3-crates + Bonus item' offer, which offers a Bebop dressed as a bunny.

HOT TOYS TO RELEASE MORE 'BATTLE DAMAGED VERSION' FIGURES ??

Over the years, lot of toy brands have made 'Battle damaged version' of their popular figures.


BREAKING NEWS:

HOT TOYS TO RELEASE MORE 'BATTLE DAMAGED VERSION' FIGURES ??


Over the years, lot of toy brands have made 'Battle damaged version' of their popular figures. Toy Biz used to do battle damaged version of their X-Men and Spider-man figures in the 90's. Bandai has battle damaged Dragon Ball Z  figures, Kenner had battle damaged Star Wars and Jurassic Park figures, with those weird soft plastic dinosaurs that had a tiny piece of flesh that could be removed on their back leg, and it was enough to call them 'battle damage' (we are not even kidding).

In recent years, Hot Toys has released 'Battle Damaged Version' of their Terminator T-800 figure, Robocop, the Armored Batman from Batman V Superman, and announced the Endgame Iron Man Mk. LXXXV and Thanos would be the latest to don the 'Battle Damaged Version' outfit. But those will not be the last ones!

ToyFarce News got an inside scoop from a factory worker that stayed home way too long because of the virus outbreak, and decided to spill the beans on some of the upcoming figures, out of frustration! The next figures to be announced should be 'Battle Damaged Version Winnie the Pooh', from the 'Christopher Robin' movie, and 'Battle Damaged Version Belle' from the smash hit 'Beauty and the Beast'.

Other rumors are 'Battle Damaged Tonto' from the movie 'Lone Ranger', 'Battle Damaged Sweeney Todd' or a re-re-release of Iron Man Mk. XLVII with a Battle Damaged Version twist.

HOT TOYS TO ANNOUNCE LONG-AWAITED FAN FAVORITE 'ROSE TICO' FIGURE FOR INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!!

Hot Toys has decided to give everybody, and especially all the ladies, a perfect gift for International Women’s day !


BREAKING NEWS:

HOT TOYS TO ANNOUNCE LONG-AWAITED FAN FAVORITE 'ROSE TICO' FIGURE FOR INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!!


First of all, ToyFarce News would like to wish all the female toy collectors and readers of ToyFarce News a happy International Women's Day! Hot Toys has decided to give everybody, and especially all the ladies, a perfect gift for this day by announcing a one sixth scale figure that has been the most anticipated character for so many fans: the fan-favorite Rose Tico from Rian Johnson's 'Star Wars - The Last Jedi'!

Rose comes with 3 different outfits, her normal orange outfit which she wears in the Last Jedi, her First order disguise which she used in the movie after being caught on Canto Bight (a place that fans have quickly become enamored with as well!), and her outfit from that one scene in 'The Rise of Skywalker', when we see her in the background, or something. An anonymous source told ToyFarce News that "Well, it's not Gamora, but people should be really happy with that announcement. They will see that Hot Toys listens to them and gives them exactly what they want, when it's not Iron Man variants, re-releases and improbable release dates.". The figure is scheduled to be released on Q4 2028.

The preorders sales will start very soon, so do not miss out on the opportunity to own that figure, so that everyone else will be definitely jealous of you! And for all the readers of ToyFarce News, when you order, enter the code 'ToyFarce' to get a bonus second necklace part from her dead sister from earlier in the movie!

AFTER THE SUCCESS OF THE TARGET EXCLUSIVE RED HULK, MARVEL LEGENDS TO RELEASE MORE COLORED HULKS !!

Be ready to see all the shades of a rainbow of Hulk on your feed very soon!

BREAKING NEWS:

AFTER THE SUCCESS OF THE TARGET EXCLUSIVE RED HULK, MARVEL LEGENDS TO RELEASE MORE COLORED HULKS !!


The Target exclusive 'Marvel Legends Red Hulk' was released only a few weeks ago and collectors worldwide have been on the hunt to get their hands on one. The figure has quickly become what some collectors call a 'Grail piece', even if the term is usually used to mention mainstream figures that are easy to find if you spend 3 minutes on eBay. 

But this is not the end of the story for that Hulk figure! Hasbro has decided to go even deeper and release another set of variant colored Hulks, which would be available exclusively in different stores, so that the collectors can feel the thrill of the hunt even more, and send collectors on a long and perillous journey!

The 'Marvel Legends Dark Blue Hulk' will be a Walmart exclusive, while the 'Marvel Legends Yellow Hulk' will be only sold in Hallmark stores. The 'Marvel Legends Orange Hulk' will be an exclusivity for Toys'R'Us Canada. The 'Marvel Legends Teal Hulk' will be only available in PicWic Toys stores in France (formerly Toys'R'Us stores). The 'Marvel Legends Pink Hulk' will be only available at Hamleys toy stores in the UK. And finally, the 'Marvel Legends White Hulk' will be the rarest of them all, as you will have to contact a person from Hasbro through an email address and beg them to sell you one, and they even have the right to refuse! The supplies will be very limited, so do not waste time and get yours fast!

An insider source has told ToyFarce News that there is even a secret color that will be hidden until someone finds it 'in the wild'. Rumors are that it could be a shade of cerulean, coral pink, or fuschia!
If the experiment goes well, Hasbro plans to go same way Hot Toys did with the Iron Man Neon Tech figures, and release more colors later, and also possibly chrome versions of each of those colors.

Be ready to see all the shades of a rainbow of Hulk on your feed very soon!
