ToyFarce News: Toy Brands Reveal Their Target Fall Geek-Out Collectibles Early Themselves, To Avoid Target Spoiling The Surprise!

We are 5 weeks deep in the Target Fall Geek-Out event, and after years of seeing their drops revealed weeks, sometimes months in advance by Target, several toy brands have decided to reveal their upcoming event collectibles themselves in advance this year. Why, you ask? Because Target cannot be trusted. ToyFarce investigated...

Over the past few years, collectors have grown accustomed to seeing the highly anticipated Target Geek-Out collectibles on shelves long before they were even announced. Target employees, either unaware or unbothered by the sanctity of toy reveals, have been unintentionally leaking all the prized goods. But this year, several brands, like NECA or Hasbro weren't having any of it.

"If anyone is going to ruin the fun, it might as well be us" said a spokesperson from NECA, before unveiling their upcoming Ultimate 'Totally 80s' Alf, Ultimate Gorilla Soldier from the Planet of the Apes, Ultimate Nosferatu Count Orlok (black and white version) and Ultimate M3GAN figures for this year's event. Collectors assumed that they would be available the following week of the Fall Geek-Out event, but it ended up being something else, and we are still waiting for those to show up (probably next week, since it's the last...).

"Every year, our new, exciting items are revealed/spoiled a month too early by a random Instagram post from a toy collector in Ohio (it's always Ohio...), because Target accidentally put all the products out on the shelves way before the official date", another toy company spokesperson added. "We decided that we would be the one revealing it this year."

Rumors are already swirling that this new "self-spoiling" strategy might extend, as several toy brands have decided they might reveal next year's items already, and maybe sell them directly themselves too, because the only way to keep Target from spoiling the fun might be to just leave them out of it entirely. In the meantime, Target employees can rest easy and continue to put Halloween products out on the shelves in mid-July.
