Fearfulsymmetry Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 So he comes with an utterly horrifying alternate mask with that nose from the 70s, which the Mego has as seen here. http://www.finalfrontiertoys.com/Mego/Loos..._No_sticker.jpg They wanted us to be able reenact scenes from Twisted Toyfare Theatre! It all make sense now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 It used to be better. Maybe it's gauged for a 16yo sense of humor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Not great, but 1,000X greater than Robot Chicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super spider piggy Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I wanna make the scene where he gets wasted while watching "Party of Five", and the one where he shoots urine out of his eyes. :tongue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillbob316 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I owe Twisted Toyfare Theater for introducting me to the phrase "Crap in a Hat!" As do my high school classmates, who I spread it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murderofcrows Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) minimates were MADE to make fun little comics with. They can look serious and ridiculous in the same panel. Probably why I love em so much. In fact, there are soooo many more minimates than mego, I am surprised Toyfare hasn't switched to using minimates for their twisted toyfare theater. here is a fun fact: the twisted toyfare theater used to use dc and marvel, however, dc threatened legal action if they continued to use their characters....I guess marvel realized there is no bad publicity. moc847 Edited August 30, 2009 by murderofcrows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Toyfare did grant Minimates their first Hall of Fame award, didn't they? However if we can get petulant fanboys complaining about everything from a soda's taste to a movie being "too good", then I wouldn't be surprised at the thought of Twisted Mego purists Fortunately, that's what we got the Internet (and webcomics) for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of the greatest and most original characters ever created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 They actually did a minimates theatre in addition to the regular twisted toyfare when minimates first came around. It focused on the venom mate with the tongue licking a pole in the snow and getting stuck, and I think the hulk mate pulled his head off. And its still good, but used to be way better. It lost some speed when Tom Root left to costart robot chicken. If Robot chicken did an episode focused around spidey, the hulk, conan and thor, than that would be a great nod to the old toyfare days. As for the DC thing, spidey has made several in jokes in TTT about the situation that are always hilarious. They even reshot old strips and replaced the DC guys with marvel guys so they could reprint the strips in their volumes. The original Villain Jeapordy didnt have Modok or the Red Skull in the green jumpsuit. The had Mr Mind and a redskull custom in a Nazi Outfit. Ive been saying crap in a hat here for years and no one ever got it. Its taken you guys too long to talk about toyfare. but this is pleasing none the less.
