For decades,
Millennials and
Gen X collectors have lorded their nostalgia over the toy aisles. We've seen every iteration of
He-Man, the endless parade of
80s cartoon toy lines, and yet another wave of
Ninja Turtles inspired by the the cartoon that predates most
Gen Z collectors, born between the mid-90s and early 2010.
But finally, their time has come! ToyFarce investigated...
Super7 just dropped figures based on the
2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
Mondo has revealed
Masters of the Universe 200x figures coming soon, and
NECA is revisiting the
2012 TMNT series. Add in the
Hasbro Star Wars: The Vintage Collection HasLab LAAT/I Gunship (
straight out of Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, which came out in 2002), and Gen Z is finally standing up in the collector community to say: "
Hey, this was OUR childhood, now! Not yours anymore!"
After years of watching the 80s/90s kids get everything
remade, rebooted, and/or repainted,
Gen Z is thrilled to see their Saturday morning heroes immortalized in premium plastic. Sources close to
ToyFarce confirm that several Gen Z collectors have even uttered the words: "
Wow, this makes me feel old", a phrase once reserved for the previous generations.
"
Finally, MY Turtles!" shouted one ecstatic 26-year-old clutching a preorder confirmation.
"
Wait… 2012 counts as nostalgia now?!" muttered a Millennial, staring into the void.
"
Great, another generation to complain about articulation online..." sighed a Gen X collector while adjusting his mint-in-box
Super7 Thundercats display.
Toy companies, smelling fresh waves of
nostalgia-fueled spending, are already preparing for this new demographic shift: Expect plenty more 2000s-era toys to be revisited soon, as Gen Z collectors prepare to join the eternal cycle of
buying their childhoods back...
and then complaining about paint apps online.
More news at 11:00...
when Gen Z realizes that "retro" now also means 2003.
ToyFarce News is parody news for laughs and not meant to be taken seriously!
