Remember the good old days, a few weeks ago, when
Beetlejuice fans were
practically dying for a new action figure or two of '
the ghost with the most'? Well, those days are long gone, and some fans now feel like they are
drowning in a sea of collectibles.
ToyFarce investigated...
"
I fondly remember the days, a few weeks ago, when all we had were the old Kenner figures, a few Burger King Kids Meal toys and that one animated series figure from The Loyal Subjects..." said
Beetlejuice super-fan
Lydia Deetz (
no relation). "
We were begging for more Beetlejuice merch, we signed petitions, we did the hashtags, we asked every companies... What we didn't expect is that they would all answer the call at the exact same time."
As the release of the long-awaited sequel of the 1988 movie was approaching, several toy brands started to announce
Beetlejuice figures:
Sideshow Colletibles announced a 12" figure,
McFarlane Toys announced a
Movie Maniacs figure,
NECA announced re-issues of their old
Cult Classic figures...
but then, the floodgates opened... Hot Toys announced a 1/6 scale collectible figure,
NECA announced
Toony Terrors,
mini figure sets, a
life-size Baby Beetlejuice, a new
Ultimate Beetlejuice figure,
Tamashii Nations announced a
S.H.Figuarts figure,
Mezco opened pre-orders for their
One:12 Collective figures,... and it seems to be only the beginning!
"
We thought we wanted this but now, we don't know anymore... did we ask for this much Beetlejuice? We used to cherish each new announcements like a rare treasure... Now, when another one gets announced, I feel nothing but panic and despair about where I'm going to put it! My Beetlejuice shelf will soon become a Beetlejuice room... Maybe we summoned him one too many times..."
More news at 11:00... "
We should have stuck to saying his name just twice... three was too much."
