|
Many years from now, as you sit in front of your virtual fireplace, your grandkids may ask you what you remember from the year 2000. You'll answer: "X-Men movie toys!" Reaching into a musty trunk in the attic, you retrieve a preserved copy of ToyFare #35 with Wolverine savagely adorning the cover.Your grandchildren will ask you many questions after reading the magazine: "Did you buy that exclusive Scarlet X figure with the special fabric cape and new head sculpt?" "What ever happened to that cool checklist and poster of the X-Men figures?" "Did you buy any of those excellent toys from the Japanese Toy Show of 2000?" "Did you have those old Godzilla toys too? " "Was ToyFare's predictions true about what was hot after" Pokemon? "Did you fit the definition of a "toy monger" on the primitive Internet of the first decade?" What was your favorite scale of action figure? 6"? 12"? "Did all women walk around with some much cleavage exposed, or was that just the toys of your generation?" and "Isn't that Alley Baggett who wrote the closing article the same actress from those videos you have hidden in your closet?" You'll share some laughs with the kids as you re-read Twisted Mego Theater, as the Thing tries to have a normal day watching the game and having beer. ToyFare #35: a treasure to pass down from generation to generation. Preserve your copy today. [Posted 5/11/2000]
