When Toyfare first started, we used to pass around issues absolutely beaten to hell in middle school. Most of my friends just loved the humor. Twisted Mego/Toyfare Theater was an obsession.

It’s been so weird finding out that you used to write for Wizard and Toyfare. I cannot imagine how many of your articles I must have read back in the day.

I weep for the demise of Toyfare. That magazine had more laugh out loud moments for me than I can possibly list.

Look, I'm not gonna say Twisted Toyfare Theatre is an achievement of sequential art, but I read it religously and this stupid comic is why the phrase "crap in a hat" is burned into my brain.

On the left: me learning that @wizardscomics.bsky.social is finally going to start going through Toyfare magazine in a separate set of episodes.
On the right: me then learning it’s going to be a Patreon only show.

Either a true to character Doom, or the Doom from the old ToyFare comics would have been great.

This story from issue 120 reports on Seth Green launching a stop-motion action figure sketch comedy show online, which would eventually become Robot Chicken and turn several Wizard/ToyFare staffers: Matt Senreich, Doug Goldstein, Mike Fasolo and Tom Root into Emmy winners!

We never had a subscription to ToyFare, but we should have. It would have been cheaper in the long run. I still remember the comics with the action figures 🥰

I never read toyfare because I wasn't into toys. If we go back further though, I dug Comics Scene. It had the benefit of being carried by bookstores.

That’s how I feel about it, too. Wizard was definitely a fun, “in the moment,” disposable mag for me. Combined with Toyfare at the time they were perfect “reading while eating in the food court” type material :)
