Hold on to your calendars! In a shocking turn of events, Mezco's announcement of "One:12 Day" on January 12th (or 1/12... get it?) has sent shockwaves through the toy industry. Other brands are now furiously brainstorming ways to claim calendar dates for themselves, realizing they’ve missed out on a golden marketing opportunity. ToyFarce investigated...

- Hot Toys admitted that they could have picked January 6th (1/6) as "Hot Toys 1:6 Day", but feared facing backlash for ignoring international date formats (as Europeans would write it as 6/1).

- McFarlane Toys and NECA are battling over January 10th (1/10), even though they've always called it 7" scale, rather than 1:10 scale. NECA might settle by getting January 4th (1/4) instead, for their other popular scale.

- Hiya Toys, Joy Toy, Acid Rain and a few others are arguing over who gets January 18th (1/18), leading to talks of a shared "One:18 day" for all those brands.

- Super 7 is wondering if a month would be more suitable, or if they should just declare the 7th day of every month theirs instead.

- Funko is trying to claim every Friday as "Funko Friday", but nobody really cares.

- Vintage Star Wars and G.I.Joe collectors are disappointed that there aren't 75 days in March so that they could pick 3/75 as their day.

Toy industry insider are jokingly calling this event the 'Calendar-gate'. A representative from a very popular brand told ToyFarce: "Honestly, Mezco won with One:12 Day. If we’d thought of it first, our PR team could’ve been on vacation right now."

What other toy-related day would you pick? Let us know in the comments!
