ToyFarce News: ToyFarce 2 Year Anniversary - Top Posts from Year 2

BREAKING NEWS: ToyFarce turns 2 years old today!

Year 2 has been pretty wild! We've continued to have a lot of fun bringing you fresh and exclusive news, we started #ToyMemesTuesday, we had a wonderful romantic escapade with Kickstarter Spawn, we ended up on Toy News International,... and now it's time to sit back and think about all the great stuff that happened in Year 2... If we were a TV series, this would be the clip show, aka the "flashback episode", the one that didn't cost much to do... But if you're discovering ToyFarce only now, it's a great way to see what you missed out on! Here is a selection of articles that are still being shared around to this day!




TARGET REVEALED AS PART OF COBRA! HUNT FOR G.I.JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES FIGURES DIFFICULT ON PURPOSE!

"Knowing that (and knowing is half the battle, right?), it all makes sense now why the G.I.Joe Classified Series figures are so hard to find! Cobra told Target to hide the Classified Series figures from their customers, so that collectors would become frustrated and start to resent, and hate G.I.Joe, while at the same time turning a profit, by selling the figures at unreasonable prices, in order to fund the organization’s activities!"

JULY 2021, THE WORST MONTH EVER FOR SCALPERS!

"The S.C.A.L.P. industry held an emergency meeting this week after suffering devastating blows the entire month. They had an international conference call to try to figure out what their next move should be.

'I hereby declare July 2021 was “Anti-Scalper month” for the history books. Companies have been decimating our ebay prices! Between NECA releasing their exclusive sets on their own website, Target re-issueing all the G.I.Joe Classified Series figures for everyone to order, and now people are making fun of us by LITTERALY scalping Space Jam 2 Lebron James figures, and selling their heads on ebay… we are a joke, now!'"

MORE DC MULTIVERSE LEAKS?!

"After the leaks about the Snyder’s Justice League movie figures a few days ago, a collectibles store in Malaysia (Have you noticed that it’s always some stores in Malaysia that leak those?) sent ToyFarce the scoop about the upcoming waves, and it is surprising, to say the least! As usual, no pictures yet, but you can bet that the Toddfather will make a live video about it very soon! (What’s up with the toothbrush?)"

To this day, we still get the occasional DM asking if we heard any update on those. It seems collectors never really bothered to check the source or verify if it was real, so we had to double down the following week...




EVEN MORE DC MULTIVERSE LEAKS?!

"Once again, ToyFarce got the scoop before anyone else! Another store in Malaysia (it’s always Malaysia) sent us the ultimate proof (a photography of a computer screen!) about the line-up of the future waves of McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse action figures, and it’s even more surprising than the “Batman Forever”/”Batman & Robin”-Schumacher-verse waves!"

AND FINALLY...



“STOP PUTTING TOYS IN THEM!”: AN INTERVIEW WITH SVEN IVAR DETOLF, THE INVENTOR OF THE DETOLF GLASS CABINET!

"'With a glass-door cabinet, you can show off as well as protect your glassware or your favorite collection.' This is the official description of the Detolf glass cabinet on IKEA’s website. If you’re a toy collector, you’re most certainly familiar with those, as we’ve seen thousands of pictures of toy collection displayed in one or more Detolfs (Detolves?)"
