Description

"THE RETURN OF INDIANA JONES - We celebrate the return of the world’s greatest treasure hunter (sorry, Lara Croft) by showing off all of the toys and statues that are coming out around the new Indy movie this May! Also, ToyFare looks back at the movies, the TV series, the books and the toys that made Indy what he is today! Indiana Jones will be on the cover of this issue. IRON MAN COSTUME CONTEST RESULTS - We asked you to send us your best Iron Man costume pictures, and you delivered! This issue we showcase all of the suits of armor you made—be they metal, plastic or cardboard—and reveal the grand-prize winner! SECRETS OF SPEED RACER - Speed Racer wasn’t always a high-tech, big-budget movie directed by the Wachowski Brothers—it was once the most low-budget of low- budget cartoons! We’ll look at some of the most embarrassing moments of Speed Racer’s animated past. Plus: Chim Chim ranks the greatest monkeys in entertainment! FAT GUY STUCK IN INTERNET! - We go behind the scenes at the live-action Adult Swim show, with pictures of the mutants, monsters and Internet memes that make up the computer world of John Gemberling, a.k.a. the fat guy who’s stuck in the Internet! Plus, commentary by the creators! RETRO: POWER LORDS - Designed by famed sci-fi artist Wayne Barlowe, Power Lords had some of the most unusual designs of any toy line in history. We look at the brief existence of this unconventional series, including Barlowe’s original artwork, and we even talk to Barlowe himself."
