Alternative worlds, parallel dimensions… Multiverse

In the vast and imaginative Toyverse, the concept of parallel universes offers a fascinating explanation for the diverse worlds and the occasional inconsistencies in the reality fabric. These parallel universes, such as Plastic World, Action World, Medieval World, Future World, etc. could be, in fact, the alternate realities we are theorizing, that coexist alongside the Real World, connected by mysterious portals.

But who, then, created the portals? Humans? i that case, why are they so small?

The Theory of Parallel Universes

The idea explored by humans about parallel universes, or the multiverse, suggests that there are multiple, perhaps infinite, universes that exist simultaneously. Each universe may have different physical laws, histories, and realities. This concept is supported by various theories in physics, including string theory and quantum mechanics¹. In the context of the Toyverse, these parallel universes could explain the existence of different worlds where the Army Men and other toys live and interact.

But… What if… the different worlds we know now exist, are actually the parallel universes we are talking about?

The Connection Between Worlds

In the Toyverse, the mysterious portals serve as gateways between these parallel universes. These portals allow toys to travel between worlds, leading to the rich and varied landscapes of the Toyverse. For example:

• Real World (aka Human World): The world where humans, the giant creators of toys, once existed. By the way, it could be said that in this world we can find other worlds like “Toyland“, a whimsical world where all kinds of toys come to life and interact. We can recall “Candy World“, a sweet and colorful universe where everything is made of candy and desserts. And the “Sports World“, a competitive world where various sports and athletic challenges take center stage. And don’t forget to visit the “Music World“, a vibrant realm where music and rhythm influence everything, from landscapes to inhabitants, and “Art World“, a creative universe where everything is inspired by different art styles and movements.
• Plastic World (aka Army Men World): A universe where everything is made of plastic, reflecting the classic Army Men environment.
• Action World (aka Monsters World): A dynamic universe filled with action figures and high-stakes adventures. And gigantic monsters that pose a great threat to the world, which the Heroes take care of… if they’re not already busy with some super villain.
• Medieval World: A realm of knights, castles, dragons and ancient battles. A world inside this world is the “Pirate World“, a swashbuckling universe filled with pirates, treasure islands, and naval battles.
• Cyber World (aka Digital World or Videogames World): A digital landscape dominated by virtual reality, hackers, and cybernetic beings.
• Prehistoric World (aka Jungle World): A prehistoric world where dinosaurs roam freely alongside primitive tribes. A dense, tropical jungle filled with exotic prehistoric animals too, hidden temples, and adventurous explorers from the whole Toyverse. Some say this is the older world, and that contains secrets about the Toyverse creation.
• Mythological World: A magical realm filled with mythical beings and creatures, wizards, and enchanted forests, based on Humans mythos.
• Blocko World: A universe made entirely of interlocking toy blocks, where everything from landscapes to characters is built from colorful bricks.
• Western World: A wild west-themed universe with cowboys, outlaws, and frontier towns.
• The Nexus (aka Desert World): A world where, paradoxically, all the trash of the Toyverse falls. Although, not to be too harsh, everything that is lost ends up in this world, including everything that does not complete its journey through the portals.
• Haunted World (aka Dark World or Twisted World): A creepy, eerie universe filled with haunted houses, graveyards, and ghostly apparitions. A spooky universe inhabited by various monsters, ghosts, and supernatural beings. This is one of the most mysterious worlds, since legends say that it is influencing the other worlds, producing… anomalies. Maybe there is some truth in these legends… who knows.
• Future World (aka Space World or Steampunk World): A futuristic universe with advanced technology and classic sci-fi elements. An expansive universe with intergalactic travel, alien civilizations, and cosmic battles. A universe where even Victorian-era aesthetics meet advanced steam-powered technology. This is one of the more extensive worlds, that contains several other worlds in the form of “planets”, like the so called “Underwater World“, An aquatic realm filled with underwater cities, marine creatures, and sunken treasures. Or the “Robot World“, a high-tech realm dominated by robots and artificial intelligence. There are others like “Sky World”, a floating realm of islands in the sky, connected by bridges and airships.

The Role of Human Documents

After the disappearance of humans, the Army Men discovered documents left behind that hinted at the existence of these parallel universes. These documents, filled with scientific theories and historical records, provided the Army Men with the knowledge to study and understand the multiverse they call “the Toyverse”. They learned that the different worlds they inhabit could be parallel versions of the Real World, the main or prime world of humans, each with its own unique characteristics and history.

The Probability of Parallel Universes

The probability of parallel universes existing is a topic of ongoing toy scientific debate. While there is no definitive proof, several hypotheses suggest that parallel universes are a plausible explanation for various phenomena. In the Toyverse, the existence of these parallel worlds adds depth and complexity to the reality, allowing for endless adventures and possibilities.

Behind the scenes:

By embracing the concept of parallel universes, the Toyverse can seamlessly integrate the diverse worlds and toys, providing a coherent explanation for the changes and inconsistencies that arise. This approach not only enriches the lore of the Toyverse, but also opens up new avenues for exploration and adventure.
