ToyFarce News: Smug Collector Has No Doubt His Top 10 List Of Action Figures For 2024 Is Way Better Than Everyone Else’s!

As 2024 came to a close and the new year started, action figure collectors everywhere are busy compiling their "Top 10 Action Figures of 2024" lists. However, one collector is making it very clear that his list is not just better than others - it’s a masterpiece of curatorial brilliance! ToyFarce investigated...

Mark, a self-proclaimed toy expert, took to every corner of social media this week to assert that his list is the definitive ranking of the year's best figures. "I’ve seen everyone else’s lists, and, frankly, they’re laughable" Mark scoffed in a 27-tweet thread. "I put thought, nuance, variety and taste into my choices! You can’t just slap a Marvel Legends figure at number 1 and call it a day. That is a cry for help!"

Mark’s list includes several niche, limited-run figures, a few Mezco figures (always those, right?), as well as a few unlicensed third party figures with unpronouncable names: "If you don’t know who my number 4 even is, you shouldn't collect action figures” he added.

"You’re all doing it wrong!" - Mark also used his platform to critique the criteria others used for their lists. "Articulation? Fun factor? *Your own tastes*?... Please. Those are amateur metrics. My list is based on sculpt fidelity, rarity, and the exclusivity of the pre-order process. If your #1 figure was something you could easily buy at a Walmart, it’s not worthy."

He even took shots at popular choices like Hasbro’s G.I. Joe Classified Series or NECA’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lines. "You’re all brainwashed by nostalgia!" he argued. "My picks are for serious collectors who understand true craftsmanship. If your list doesn’t require a six-month wait and a NRD, it’s not valid!"

Despite the backlash in the toy community, Mark shows no signs of slowing down: In fact, he’s already teased a bonus video, titled "Why My Honorable Mentions Are Also Better Than Everyone Else’s Top 5".

So, as the action figure community continues to share and celebrate their favorites of 2024, Mark will undoubtedly keep reminding us all that his list isn’t just a ranking - it’s a gift to humanity.

2024 was a very good year for me. Several figures I'd waited on for a while came out.

1. Retro Cobra Commander, G.I. Joe Classified

2. Ms. Marvel (Warbird), Marvel Legends

3. New Eternia Evil-Lyn, Masterverse

4. Soundwave, Legacy (Netflix Reissue)

5. Sheila, Super7 DnD Ultimates

6. Jean Grey Phoenix (except the heads), Marvel Legends

7. Ghost of Christmas Past, Four Horsemen Figura Obscura

I can only think of seven things worth being on a list, although I did buy a lot more. I can't get in good conscience put the Retro Cobra Trooper (horrible torso construction) or Jinx (tattoos and choker) on this list, but with some work, I like those figures as well.

I also acquired some older figures (MCU Mysterio, Storm from that two pack) that I quite like.
