New York Comic Con 2025 has come and gone, leaving behind the usual trail of excitement, preorder links, and...
selective amnesia? Toy collectors across the internet spent the last 4 days hyped about dozens of new figure announcements, but by Monday morning, most could only remember about three of them...
ToyFarce investigated.
"
I swear there was a new He-Man... or maybe it was a Skeletor? Anyway, I preordered something" said one collector, scrolling through 47 screenshots on his phone. "
All I know is I’m broke now."
Toy companies proudly unveiled
dozens and dozens of figures across multiple brands, but the flood of reveals proved too much for human memory to process. "
It’s like sensory overload" admitted another fan. "
By the time Hasbro showed their 14th reveal, I forgot what company was even presenting. I think NECA revealed a loaf of bread at some point? Or was that part of my lunch?"
Experts say this post-con memory loss, unofficially known as "
Reveal Fatigue Syndrome" (or
RFS) is common among collectors exposed to
multiple livestreams,
exclusive drops, and
blurry booth photos within a 72-hour period.
"
By Monday, they can name maybe one Mezco figure, one McFarlane Toys reveal, and maybe something Ninja Turtles-related. Everything else is gone.” said Dr. E. Hartman, head of Toy Neuroscience at the Institute of Collectible Studies. "
But they’ll remember when it’s time to complain about it next year!"
Online discussions have already moved on to what might be shown next. "
NYCC was great, but I’m really looking forward to what they'll reveal at Toy Fair!" said one fan on Monday, while completely forgetting he still hasn’t received half of his
SDCC preorders...

You gotta make a spreadsheet. It's the only way!"
