ToyFarce News: Parents Of 40-Year-Old Collector Concerned Their Son Has Dementia, Since He Keeps Buying the Same Toys All The Time?

In a heartwarming yet deeply confusing tale, a local elderly couple has voiced their growing concern over their 40-year-old son's mental health after noticing he keeps buying the exact same toys they bought him as a child... repeatedly. ToyFarce investigated...

"He had all four Ninja Turtles when he was 7!" said his mother, holding a photo album from 1989. "And now, here we are in 2025, and he just bought all four Ninja Turtles. Again. But they're different ones, apparently?" The concerned parents, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of being targeted by collectors, initially suspected early-onset dementia when they noticed their son lining up pre-orders for figures he already seemed to own as a child. "He showed us his latest purchase with so much excitement: 'Look! The Ninja Turtles from the 1990 movie! Aren't they amazing?' but we swear we saw those exact ones last year. And also in 2016. And maybe 2012? And when he was a kid..."

Their son, Joey (name changed to protect his toy shelves), insists there's nothing wrong: "The ones I just got are the Ultimate versions. Better paint apps, alternate heads, and accessories. The ones from last years were two-packs, how can they not see it's not the same? Also, these Foot Soldiers are from Wave 3. The ones I had as a kid were from Wave 1, and...look, it's different, okay?"

Doctors ruled out any medical conditions after a thorough examination, confirming that Joey is perfectly healthy, just an "enthusiastic adult collector with poor impulse control and multiple open pre-orders".

The real confusion began when the parents found a receipt showing Joey had purchased eight of the same figure. "We thought that he had definitely lost it!" said his father. "But then he calmly explained he was army building. What does that even mean? Is he going to war?"

When asked for comment, Joey responded: "Look, when they release the TMNT figures again next year with slightly more accurate bandana colors and pizza slices that actually connects to each other, I’ll have to get them. I don't have a choice. It's destiny."

As of press time, Joey’s parents were seen browsing online listings for their son's childhood toys, wondering if they could maybe sell his originals back to him... for a small profit!
