Toon Archetype?

People complain when I confuse type for archetype. However, Toons have an archetype when they are a type. May someone explain why Toons have an Archetype listening while others, such as Spirits and Unions, do not. MezzoDragon 16:52, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Toon can refer to two different things:

• Toon Monsters: Monsters that have Toon listed after their Type. These are supported by cards like "Toon World". (This is considered the Monster Type)
• "Toon" cards: Cards which have "Toon" in their name. These are supported by cards like "Toon Table of Contents". (This is considered the Archetype)

An example of where this actually makes a difference is, "Toon Alligator" is a "Toon" monster, but not a Toon Monster.

Effectively there's little or no difference between the two, which is why we only have 1 article. For consistancy sake, we should really have 2 seperate articles. All the SMW projects would work better if they had seperate pages too. -- Deltaneos (talk) 17:58, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, the Toon Secondary Type and the "Toon" Archetype are two different things, so we should make two pages. --Missign0 (talk • contribs) 14:01, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

I'll make a "Toon" article and see what I info I can move. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 15:46, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Class A

From the looks of Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon the line "This card can only be Special Summoned while you control "Toon World"." was removed so would it be okay to put the other Toon back into the Class A?--DarkMastero (talk • contribs) 08:15, October 21, 2015 (UTC)

The fact that that line was removed is part of the reason why it is Class A, and the Class E Toons are not. Essentially, the rulings in the OCG for Class A and B were changed, but only "Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon" and "Toon Dark Magician Girl" have been reprinted so far to change that; since in the TCG PSCT is king, until the other Class A Toons get reprinted, they are functionally different to "Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon". In the OCG, there is no Class E. --SnorlaxMonster 08:23, October 21, 2015 (UTC)

I really hope that Toon Mermaid, Toon Summoned Skull, and Manga Ryu-Ran get reprinted internationally so this gets resolved since it's dumb for them to not have been updated already like their Japanese versions. Chimera-gui (talk • contribs) 20:48, May 2, 2016 (UTC)

"Toon Summoned Skull" actually hasn't been reprinted in Japanese yet, but its rulings have been updated. Currently its Japanese text matches the TCG text. --SnorlaxMonster 11:54, May 3, 2016 (UTC)

When was the last time Blue Eyes get English card before it got updated to Class A?

Nevermind, I looked at the Errata for Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon and it looks like it changed between the Legendary Collection World Mega Pack and Duelist Pack: Battle City. Toon Mermaid and Manga Ryu-Ran haven't been released since Legendary Collection 3: Yugi's World Mega Pack.

Toon Summoned Skull meanwhile was last released in Legendary Collection 4: Joey's World Mega Pack which added the "This card is always treated as an "Archfiend" card." bit that was also given to regular Summoned Skull. Chimera-gui (talk • contribs) 03:04, May 14, 2017 (UTC)
