A comic series published every month in ''Toyfare'' magazine -- an action figure hobbyist magazine and price guide spun off from the comics magazine ''Wizard'' that was humorous in tone -- since the magazine began in 1997 and collected in trade paperbacks, "TTT" combines [[DeadpanSnarker snarking]], liberal references to anything in pop culture, [[JustForFun/TropeOverdosed tropes on top of tropes]], and fair amounts of BlackComedy as a topper.
''Twisted Toyfare Theatre'' originally featured 1970s Mego dolls (many of them customized, and most of those being Marvel characters) as the main characters, although other characters (such as [[Franchise/GIJoe Cobra Commander]] and [[Franchise/StarWars the Stormtroopers]]) became more prominent as the Megos got stale. [[note]]Literally, those things were held together with rubber bands, as was pointed out in the comic many times. [[/note]]
Writers Matt Senreich, Tom Root, and Doug Goldstein went on to work for ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'', which was created by Creator/SethGreen, a BigNameFan of ''Twisted Toyfare Theatre'', and was directly based on the strip (at least initially).
