ToyFarce News: Unboxing Video Abruptly Ended After Youtuber Remembered He Is an In-Box Collector!

"That was a close one!" said the shaken collector, clutching the still-sealed box like a newborn child. In a shocking turn of events, a live unboxing video was cut short this week after longtime collector Ryan suddenly remembered, mid-slice with his X-Acto knife, that he is, in fact, an in-box collector! ToyFarce investigated...

The incident occurred during what was supposed to be a live unboxing of the new Ultra Deluxe Exclusive Mega Limited Edition action figure (Platinum Edition Chase Variant, obviously). As Ryan welcomed his YouTube viewers and began to describe the packaging in great detail, muscle memory kicked in, and he reached for his trusty box cutter. But just as the blade grazed the tape... he froze.

"I don't know what came over me" said Ryan, still visibly shaken. "I think I was caught up in the hype. I saw everyone else doing unboxings and thought: 'Yeah, I can do that!' But then I heard a voice... maybe it was my own, maybe it was Mint-On-Card figure telling me 'DON'T DO IT!'"

The screen quickly cut to black, followed by a title card reading that the stream had ended. We would hear from Ryan only a few minutes later, as he twitted: "Crisis Averted. Stay Minty, Friends". Collectors around the world have praised Ryan's restraint, calling him a hero and an inspiration to MOC collectors everywhere. The video has since gone viral, spawning hashtags like #SaveTheSeal and #BoxLivesMatter.

According to sources, Ryan has since placed the unopened figure in a protective acrylic case, double-sleeved it in UV-resistant plastic, and has begun therapy to deal with the near-miss: "I just hope no one else has to go through what I went through", he said. "Let my mistake be a lesson: Never let the hype override the way you enjoy your plastic."
