Over the last few years, there has been more and more action figure lines or cool items that used crowdfunding as a way to make things happen. A collector from Idaho went a step further and is about to launch a Kickstarter to crowdfund... his dream toy collection! Whether we are talking Kickstarter Spawn, Plunderlings or a Haslab gigantic figure or vehicle, we have all heard about those big crowdfunding campaigns with cool toys. Some got funded, some did not. Brian, a toy collector from Boise, Idaho, has decided to crowdfund his dream collection: "Right now, I have very little, but if there are enough backers, I could get a very decent, big collection, that people will be able to enjoy through pictures, or toy collection tour video online. We can even set a 24/7 live stream of the collection room. I am planning to start with a $25,000 goal, so that I can start with a full complete collection + nice displays, lights, cameras,... , and add stretch goals every $5,000. With every stretch goals, I'll add a new line for the collection." "I'm confident it will be a very easy goal to reach. There are lots of toy collectors, so if every toy collector gave $1, I'm sure we can reach some higher goals. If the campaign ends up going high enough, I could even put a deposit on a bigger house, and then fill it with the toy collection that the crowdfunding campaign allowed me to have, and then everybody can enjoy my collection. It's a win-win for everybody." More news at 11:00... Coming soon on Kickstarter! *ToyFarce News is parody news for laughs and not meant to be taken seriously!

Choosing an outfit for your next video is always a difficult task - That is what a Toy YouTuber found out this week, as he was preparing to shoot his 19th 'Toy Collection Tour' video for his channel. "It has to look casual, but not too much. My 32 followers expect more from me" said the YouTuber. ToyFarce investigated... Sept 13th, San Diego, California. The Toy YouTuber (or ToyTuber, as coined by Bill from the Dorklair), who wished to remain anonymous, has decided that he will shoot a new Toy Collection Tour video this week. "I have added at least 3 new action figures to my collection since the last video, and I changed my display a little, so I think it's time to shoot another video..." said the ToyTuber. "At the moment, I'm stuck at picking my outfit for the video. I wouldn't want to have the same scandal as another YouTuber had... he wore the exact same t-shirt on multiple videos, causing an uproar in the community..." So what is the ideal outfit for a Toy Collection Tour video, you may ask. "In my opinion, it has to be a bit casual, but not too casual, so that the viewers don't think that I'm lazy or have a bad sense of style. I will barely be seen in the video, but I have to do an intro, at least. So there is a lot of effort done behind the scene, to make it look like there is no effort put in it." Picking the outfit is only the first part of the process. After that, the ToyTuber will dust and clean his entire room, so that it looks good on camera, and carefully pick all the right angles so that we do not see the empty boxes, piles of unopened toys, his Funko Pop collection, or the rest of his home in the video.

The pile of unopened toys has many names: "the backlog", "the depression pile", "the rainy day figures", "the pile of shame", "the loot pile" (Bigbadtoystore coined 'Pile of Loot' already), "mount toys", "delayed gratification", "Steve" (I don't get that one either) and many more. It is not uncommon to spot one of those piles in an action figure collector home. Sometimes, life gets in the way and you can't open your newly acquired toys right away. But when does it become a hazard to your health? ToyFarce investigated... We interviewed Dr. Pilefree about the dangers of having an unopened toys pile that is getting out of control: "It can become an issue if the pile of toys is so high that it can fall down on you or your loved ones, and hurt them. The secret is to have a strong base, and not pile them too high. Also, if you have more toys unopened than opened, you might actually be diagnosed as a mint-in-box collector, which is a completely different thing. If the pile is starting to be too much to handle, just open some toys. Make an evening of it, put some nice music, light a few candles, and rip into it." ToyFarce hired a team of R&D engineers to come up with a nice idea, in the same vein of the theme parks height requirement signs: introducing the ToyFarce Pile Height Requirement sign! This *adjustable* sign can be put next to your pile, in order to make sure that it's within normal height. If it your pile goes over the limit, you'll just have to open a few toys (or you can adjust the size so that it becomes the new limit). Keep those piles in check! How do you call your pile of unopened toys? Let us know in the comments! More news at 11:00... Time to open a few toys! *ToyFarce News is parody news for laughs and not meant to be taken seriously!

With prices going up and quality (at least according to some) going down where do you think the hobby of action figure collecting goes from here? As someone who collects alot of different brands I think overall there is still a lot of cool stuff that gets released worth collecting. I do think its a sad time for 3.75" collectors. That scale seems to get little love from any company these days but IDK what do you all think?
