REVIEW: Twisted ToyFare Theater 10th Anniversary Collection

Twisted ToyFare TheaterTwisted ToyFare Theater’s 10th Anniversary Collection is all kinds of awesome. Okay, it’s actually one kind of awesome: superhero dolls making potty jokes. But that’s more than enough.

If you’re not familiar with Twisted ToyFare Theater, it’s a photographic comic strip starring classic Mego superhero dolls of the 1970s and the cartoon-based toys of the 1980s. The strip, which appears every month in ToyFare magazine, inspired Adult Swim’s “Robot Chicken.” In fact, many of the early writers of Twisted ToyFare Theater went on to write “Robot Chicken.”

This 10th Anniversary Collection, published by Wizard Entertainment, features the 25 best strips in Twisted ToyFare Theater history. The zaniness includes a day in the life of Wolverine, supervillain Jeopardy, a pugilistic Alan Moore, zombie Smurfs, an uber-randy Capt. Kirk, a Jewish Thing, and a Mexican Spider-Man. But that’s not all. There are character bios, commentary, a brand-new strip that parodies “Inside the Actors Studio,” and much more. I haven’t laughed this much while reading since, well, I don’t think I ever laughed this much while reading.

If you’re a fan of “Robot Chicken,” if you’re a fan of Twisted ToyFare, if you’re a fan of Spider-Man in a sombrero, if you’re a fan of laughing your ass off, find your credit card immediately and order this book. Then thank me.

If Blogzarro Ruled the World...
I'd kiss Blogzarro's ass and pray he doesn't make me his sex slave.
I'd pray that Blogzarro makes me his sex slave. Bring on the forced sex!
I'd start a revolution and bring justice back to this world.
I'd shut up and enjoy the free Boston Kreme donuts (yes, everyone gets free donuts when I rule the world)
I probably wouldn't notice. Politics isn't my thing.
