This Month In Toyfare: February 2007
It’s hard to believe that it’s time for our monthly visitor already. Where does the time go? Grab the latest issue of ToyFare and play along!
Ad opposite Page 2: Check out that statue of Wonder Woman vs. Superman. Remember when I wrote that mini-rant about these two needing to be together? This statue just screams sexual tension. Instead of making sweet superhero love, they take out their frustrations by trying to tie each other up.
Page 13: These Justice League of America figures are pretty nifty. Vixen looks like she’s making up for her inherent lameness of being Vixen by having gigantic breasts. I like Vixen now. Coincidence?
Page 14: A Pitt figure? Please, let the 90s die! Think of the children!
Ad opposite Page 14: They must tease me with this space battle money shot in this ad for Star Wars Miniatures Starship Battles. Santa, I’m coming after you if I don’t get this…
Pages 20: I’ve been meaning to write about these awesome DC Stars dolls, but I haven’t yet. I think I’m in love. I pray that someday a liberal east coast state will make it legal to marry these dolls.
Page 28: Here’s the Revan I wrote about earlier this week. The internets rulez.
Page 29: This Pirates of the Caribbean statue is pretty neat, but if you get this and you’re a dude you better start questioning your sexuality.
Page 37: These Simpsons Bust-ups are fairly neat… although I could do with less Simpson characters having or just about to have sex.
Page 38: I’m going on record with this one: If you really like Naruto, you probably shouldn’t be reading this blog.
Pages 44-46: Great mini-interview over the future of Futurama. I also like the idea of more Futurama toys, especially an awesome Dr. Zoidberg figure like the one pictured.
Pages 48-49: I love this, comic book artist Bob Layton talks about Iron Man figures. It’s awesome when he rips one apart. More of this!
Page 52: In the top five toy civil wars, Star Wars is 3? Puh-leez
Pages 60-61: Not that I’d ever customize figures myself, I really dig this kind of thing. Again, more of this dear ToyFare gods.
Pages 62-69: An episode guide for the Venture Bros., complete with commentary? I don’t know what this has to do with toys, but I likes it!
Pages 72-74: The 10 Greatest Xmas Gifts of All Time is pretty much dead on. I also enjoy the nearly half naked girl on the first page. Hey, I’m easy to please.
Pages 76-85: This Twisted ToyFare Theater is an improvement over last month’s. Plus, it features Dr. Strange. I likes me some Dr. Strange.
Pages 86-87: Is it hard to imagine that the top five out of the top 10 hottest figures for this month are all Marvel Legends figures? No, it is not.
Page 98: Is it a coincidence that I cover Micronauts the same week that ToyFare does? Great minds think alike, I suppose.
Page 104: Ugh, I take that back. A naked Jonathan Frakes and a Hula-Hoop is beyond disturbing, even in toy form. I’ll never be able to take that image away from my brain.
I can’t believe how much notable stuff there was in this issue. Quite impressive for a periodical best enjoyed on the toilet. (I mean this as a compliment, for reals.)
