No, your eyes are not deceiving you, do not adjust your screen. In the last week, another
temporal anomaly occured and several
toy companies are announcing
toys that already came out (or should have)
over 20 years ago. Now, get in the
Delorean and let
ToyFarce investigate for you!
In the recent years, it is no secret that "
Nostalgia" has been a
goldmine for all our favorite toy brands. With the
TMNT,
Ghostbusters,
G.I. Joes,
Power Rangers Lightning Collection and "retro style"
Marvel Legends figures regularly hitting our shelves, it's pretty clear that there is a demand for the
toys of
our childhood, now that we all are
adults with disposeable income.
This past week,
Playmates has announced the return of the
Star Trek 5-inch figures. Many of us remember that line with fond memories, such as "
why are they so small?" or "
they don't fit with any other line!", but since we were children back then, it didn't matter and we would gladly play with them anyway.
Good times.
Hot Toys announced the first of the villains from
Spider-man: No Way Home (a movie that also relied heavily on nostalgia), the
Green Goblin. Now, that is definitely a figure that should have come out about
22 years ago, when the first Spider-man movie was out, but back then,
Hot Toys was too busy making
bootleg Tom Cruise,
Keanu Reeves and
George Lucas figures.
Finally, after
resurrecting the line in
2017 and
killing it again in
2019,
Mattel has decided to bring the
WWE retro line back...
again in
2022. The first
WWE retro wave was exclusive to
Mattel Creations and
sold out in 5 hours on the website.
Get on it before they cancel it again!
Oh yeah, we're also going to get
Indiana Jones figures from
Hasbro!
What other
line from the past would you love to see brought back to life?
