A sigh of relief, with just a touch of exasperation, has been shared by the toy community this week as Hasbro and Disney announced the extension of their licensing agreement for Marvel and Star Wars franchises. To the delight (and chagrin) of collectors worldwide, Hasbro will continue to produce toys and games based on those iconic properties. The Marvel Legends and Star Wars: The Black Series lines are here to stay, so buckle up! ToyFarce investigated...

"The internet had told me that they would 100% lose those licenses, so I am a bit confused..." said a collector on X. "But at the same time, it's reassuring to know that I can continue to use the same jokes like 'HaSbLoW' or call anyone who likes an action figure a shill. I'm thrilled that I can look forward to another few years of complaining about the same things!"

For many collectors, this news is like a double-edged lightsaber (wait... aren't they all double-edged? Actually, it's a tube of light, no edges!): On one hand, it guarantees a steady stream of new figures to add to their ever-growing collections. On the other, it means the continuation of familiar grievances: questionable choices ("Those are the WRONG BOOTS!"), passable paint applications, elusive exclusives and the ever-present "price panic".

While some collectors had hoped for a shake-up in the toy industry, perhaps bringing in new manufacturers or fresh approaches to beloved franchises, the extension of the Hasbro-Disney partnership ensures that the status quo remains firmly in place. "Oh thank God. I couldn't imagine starting all over again with another company!" said another collector (for real, it's the title of an actual reddit post!).

"It's like that old saying", he added. "'Better the devil you know than the devil you don't'... At least, with Hasbro, we know exactly what we're getting...and what we're not!". Of course, we can also look forward to dozens of conspiracy theory essays on Youtube about how Hasbro was going to lose those licenses for sure, and it's only because of *the tariffs*/*the quality of recent movies and shows*/*insert other theory here* that Disney ended up extending their deal. Oh boy, am I hyped for those!

More news at 11:00... "I'm glad I can have the same arguments for a few more years. I was not ready to let go..."
*ToyFarce News is parody news for laughs and not meant to be taken seriously!
