Ultimate toon April will be released this year. We just don't know specifically when. They did have a packaged sample, so probably in the next few months.
NECA also is doing a movie "what if" yellow jumpsuit April. This is just a mock-up, using the Ellen Ripley body, but will have a different sculpt on the actual figure. She includes an arcade cabinet (NECA should just sell those separately, they'd make a fortune!). What's most curious is they have the Playmates' Pizza Face on the side. I guess they're none too bothered with Playmates' tantrums as of late.
More Mutant Mayhem merch is leaking out, promo items, etc.
Hi-Res of the back of the card for the basic Playmates line.
>>10408094And the rest of the file cards in case you needed a reason to hate these new Turtles.

Kevin Eastman's been sharing a lot of stuff on his instagram lately, including more artwork for upcoming NECA packages. Here we have Mirage Savanti Romero coming at some point.And if you'll peek at the left corner of the OP image, there's our boxed Mirage TMNT 4-pack.
Toon Casey and bashed Foot have been showing up on Aliexpress. The bottom of the package shows a 2023 copyright as well as that "ripped" corner with the TMNT logo from Nickelodeon that we saw on the new figures from Haulathon recently. So NECA is definitely getting more toon Casey back out. Just no clue if it's through a special event or normal re-release through Target.But for anyone still wanting this pack, it's coming. Or it's here. If you want to just get it off Aliexpress. Whichever.
>>10408090>Arcade cabinetshit now i'm.. feeling differently.
>>10408094i can't. i can't even. rocksteady has a gold fang.>>10408097this physically hurts. this gave me gingivitis.>>10408105there we go that's the mouthwash i need.
>>10408086eastman WOULD have one of those 'professionally graded' comics
I forgot that the mirage turts would release in a 4pk. I only really want leo, so I might sell the other 3. I dont know for sure yet ( if i can actually get my hands on a set that is.. )I remember someone saying it'd be cool to see a shirt and tie toon casey, which id love to see. But also im very glad he's out there again.
>>10408090meh, I'd prefer a scale version of this
>>10408241yeah but would that exist in their universe?
>>10408242No, but a yellow jumpsuit Judith Hoag wouldn't either so I don't think it needs to make sense
>>10408246sure it would! she wore a big plastic yellow raincoat...couldn't you just see a scene where April has to pose as a sewer worker or something to explain what she's doing going down there? so she puts on this getup?
>>10408241I want this too, and hey, this is one step closer...
>>10408094The villains look cool, the turtles not so much…
>>10408671you're a big fan of really kinda 'toony' cartoons aintcha. like the works of DoubleFine.
>>10408094the non-turtle designs are worse than Rise
>>10408823god, that cannon must kill their gas mileage.>>10408828that is.. a clever and original gimmick at least.
>>10408823>>10408828>>10408835Playmates is back, baby
>>10408088NECA redskyseasons when?
>>10408857Superfans want NEW they want exciting Pretty soon there won’t be any space on the shelves for classic turtles lines in favor of the powerhouse of Playmates with Mutant Mayhem. It is new, it is exciting and never been seen before, a fresh take on TMNT with playable toys unlike the neco toon line. the realization is sinking in, isn’t it?
>>10408862The movie looks like fucking garbage
>>10408939Seth Rogen made the Mario movie billions of dollars, he will do the same to the Turtles and you will be DEAD FUCKING WRONG
>>10408955He did. He's the biggest name in the movie and it's been proven that most ticket sales were because of him.
>>10408942>>10408960seth rogen's name isn't credited in the japanese release
>>10408960Mario is the biggest name in the movie.
>>10409011chungus should be in the next one then
>>10408086Still hoping they're going to release that Return to New York 4-pack on the Neca Online Store so us europeans can get them as well.
>>10409049Yeah, I have my doubts. I dont think I will be able to get it for a reasonable price unless the neca store does it. It will probably be a Wal mart or Target exclusive or something.
>>10408823I want a RC version of that
>>10408860Just give me a heads accessory pack with a bomber jacket April figure
>>10404485under $30 such gud dill
>>10409049what do you mean what doctrine?
>>10409076scaled properly?also yeah i liked her in that.
>>10409096that is a pretty good deal.. but I still can't justify that for mousers. someone try to change my mind.
>>10409178if they get below 25, i'm in. especially if i can combine and get free/cheap shipping on some site.
>>10408806I’m a fan of spastic looking designs similar to ren and stimpy, but this overall for the tmnt looks like SHIIIT, especially the actual plastic translation of them that are laughably grotesque
>>10409333yeah I can see that, if you like that kind of aesthetic, bebop and rocksteady would be up your alley. Me, total opposite. though I do feel similarly to you in the "everyone but the turtles looks good" sense if we're talking about the second baymovie. gotta admit, B+R and krang looked pretty rad. someone worked really hard to try to polish the turd, but they were still saddled with continuity so the turtles had to stay the same.
>>10409429after the original playmates toys were designed by ex-Mattel guys coming off of He-Man. it's come full circle!! this is insane.
>>10409429Umm we already had the crossover But if Mattel is throwing its hat in the TMNT ring, NECA will lose relevance without a doubt. A restructuring of power is afoot
>>10409429I hope it's April O Neil wearing Battleground Teela's clothes.
>>10409501i am 100% down for this.hell i'm tempted to just get these figures and transplant the heads. uhh.. where'd you get this head image from though? super7 april's face is a lot more... plain than that.
>>10409554Oh it's from that customizer! man that looks great. I wish he was selling those.
>>10409501If they have the cojones to pull that in current year then they deserve my support
>>10409501the gun even looks a bit like a camcorder.
>>10409554it's from the stock image of super 7 april with the headset.>>10409556Teela has that outfit in the current masterverse comic series soooo maybe at least as a new eternia???>>10409578I laughed when I noticed it after saving.
>>10409588>it's from the stock imageit is not. this is a custom head.
>>10409610oh okwhoops.
>>10409614i mean you made the right pick lolif this happens that is how we hope it looks.
>>10409610zelu1984 is a talent a true wunderkind
>>10409821Is he a card carrying neca employee or just working freelance, like would he be free to contract with Playmates now that the momentum has shifted in their favor?
>>10410084Your parrotting yourself again, troll.
>>10410072He’s essentially second in command already but, yes, zelu1984 is a full time neco employee
>>10409096back in stock shipping in june
>>10410411Please get the updated hip joints on these major characters not the shitty hinges that randy loved to use also please paint Bebop’s eyes he looks retarded without his glasses on
>>10410411who?
Got BST AXN April today, never had one of these figures before and I didn't know she'd be so small.
>>10410463yeah i'm not sure what best axn is aiming at honestly
>>10410463She’s as tall as the first neca april with a proportional head
>>10410463Yeah they're not huge. Though the weirdest thing about this line is that the figures within the line itself aren't really to scale with each other. Everyone's 5 inches regardless of whether or not the character should be shorter or taller than the rest of the cast. This leads to some weird ones like LOTR where Gandalf and Sauron are the same height, even though Sauron is famously like 9 feet tall.
>>10410484if anything you'd expect playmates to be attacking THESE schmucks since they're the ones actually competing with playmates, in terms of price point and scale irrelevance
Finally got Donatello in this week, and god damn having all 4 boys really makes a display. This line is an absolute homerun smash hit, and I hope they keep running it for a few more figures. Shredder especially, and maybe a unique take on Bebop and Rocksteady would seal the deal. >>10410447The sad thing is I'm pretty sure he isn't a Neca employee, because he accomplishes the opposite of what he should be doing. These threads were a lot more active last year, but he's been so aggressive lately that they're basically dead any day that there isn't a new reveal or Playmates blunder to meme on. He's just an asshole with a janny friend he sics on posts that aren't total praise for Neca. It's fucking obnoxious.
>>10410485There was an instagram post a few days back where it looked like Playmates may be preparing for their own line of reimagined classic figures, hence why they sandbagged Super7. The appeal of the new movie and Classics line is still different enough from... Whatever AXN is doing keeps them from being too bothered I imagine.
>>10410825>Whoa dudes check out my nunchankhs!yeah they are pretty neato. Not really m thing, but supremely well-mae. The kneepads crew.>B+Rthis is a movieverse crossover, right? so we'd get tokka and rahzar.. I'd be way down for that. Tokka from the black lagoon, and uh... well I mean rahzar wolf man is kind of on the nose, plus wolfman always looked pretty lame. Maybe if they skewed it more toward the 2010 Del Toro version? That's still Universal.
>>10410837Really? Was that confirmed? If that's true then Playmates is really banking on this new movie to bring in major attention to their toy lines.
>>10410825if people would just stop replying to trolling, it would all be a lot nicer. i mean it's one thing to be an obsessive troll, it's another to reply to his every single post, the same way, every time, 3 minutes later like clockwork. almost like he's replying to himself
>>10410840Well it's movie-esque, but I want to believe it's unique enough that they would do a movie style BopSteady duo.
>>10410841wouldn't it be great if we woke up tomorrow and playmates was just gone?
>>10410840I'd have Tokka be the wolfman just to mess with everyone
>>10410845His behaviour attracts other weirdos who feed off his freaking out, exacerbating the problem. If he would just leave, the other dingdongs wouldn't post their obvious bait all the time.
>>10410850Not before I get my hands on the reissued Mutatin' turtles.
>>10410853Just merge them together into 1 huge toy
>>10410847i sure as fuck wouldn't mind, or just in general seeing movie-style versions of non-movie characters, ideally consulting Creature Shop.>>10410857anon i'll give you my old ones if it would get rid of playmates
>>10410885If only it were that easy. Maybe if the new movie is a complete flop it will finally convince them to sell the master license off.
>>10410895no such luck i fear, that kind of shit sells now.. somehow.
>>10410959The little ball hinge and the point it rests in is damaged, which caused the jaw to move and flake paint along the inside of the mouth but it wore down the nub causing the jaw not to rest properly, with slack jawed Dreadmon being the end result. It’s not the first of randy’s gifts I had to fix up and it won’t be the last, I’m sure.
>>10410989aw man. hopefully that's easy enough to fix with a little black paint and, as joint-fixing goes, a little ball-nub seems like the easiest thing to do..
>>10410959The black paint is almost completely stripped off the back of the jaw but wouldn’t be visible on display so I didn’t care enough to take a picture. Dreadmon’s actually kind of cutie resembling the troll face a bit, but the turtle hoard must be pristine.
>>10411017well it's still a plausible reality, I mean i've known friction nubs like that not to line up quite right especially after being painted thickly (like i'm prone to do)
>>10410463The whole line is 5 inches, not even scale, just 5 inches. It's a really bizarre choice.
>>10411312It’s an example of different interests, how is that bizarre? Some people just want the likeness of the character and pay no mind to scale like collectors obsess over. I envy them sometimes.
>>10411371You better be careful next time you post such retarded drivel in this wholesome community. Watch youre back now you hear?
>>10411371sounds like poorfag cope
>>10411312it's sad because the sculpting and articulation seem good
More retro rereleases. This explains Playmates not letting S7 make an ultimates Rat King. Can't have a specialty figure compete with the playmates one on the store shelves.
>>10415145
>>10408671Same, they're very funny looking but in the traditional cartoon way. They kinda even have like a 2000s cartoon look to them, if only they had thick outlines or something. Too bad it'll probably look like shit in 3D, think of the CG Clone Wars show and how it tried to adapt the design from the Tartakovsky version. Oh well, not like I was gonna watch it anyways.
>>10415145except an 11-dollar figure on store shelves is not competing with a 55-dollar figure NOT on store shelves.for christ's sake guys, they are helping build and maintain the nostalgia around the products you're selling cheaply and poorly for nostalgia.
>>10415571>think of the CG Clone Wars show and how it tried to adapt the design from the Tartakovsky version.which was already ugly in its own way but good lord it got worse in cg. and they KEPT that in all future star wars cg, all these blocky noses and lips..
So they're going to 2012 it when it comes to the eyes.
>>10415636Whiting out the eyes would fix the Mikey toy's weird crack face
>>10415146Man, Super7 is just getting nut punched over and over
>>10415691it absolutely would not, look at that horrid thingreminds me of that ugly bulldog alien from... somewhere in marvel comics, inhumans?
>>10415811just goes to show, never bother to try anything. it can all be taken awayyou can have a hit webcomic that gets its own TV show, and still be broke and then injure your neck and then get shadowbanned for your politics despite never expressing them in public or in your work.
>>10416111what exactly am I looking at here? I... kind of like it?
>>10416111>Here are your messages:>You have 30 minutes to defeat Shredder>You have 10 minutes>The Shredder has been arrested>The Shredder has been crushed into a cube>You have 30 minutes to defeat the cube.
>>10408094Wow, these are abhorrent. They're really trying to market these to zoomers by checking every zoom-zoom checkbox. Yuck... Fucking horrid.
>>10416130
>>10416213N-no, Seth Rogen has his finger on the pulse of what's hot! Didn't you hear that he wrote directed and starred in the Mario Bros movie and singlehandedly made it $100000000000?
>>10416313Jape as you wish but TMNT will become a billion dollar property off the back of this man.
>>10409610For me it's the left head
>>10410825Love the UM x TMNT line, it's one of this "I didn't know I wanted it until I saw it" situations.I do find it weird however that Leonardo is the only turtle who isn't a title monster, the storage shell gimmick is fun though so I'm not too bothered by it.
>>10416665Yeah, he's so delightfully chonky that I'm not bothered by him being Igor. Although going by the film Igor was more of a monster than the monster.
>>10416663i am also a big fan yeahi'd like to see this guy take more of a crack at 'original april figure' looks, but what he did was I think adapt 2 of the other toys plus toon april, and kind of blending them a little. which is what super7 kinda should have done and failed to do, and i guess what they're going to do going forward.>>10416668Do you suppose... okay this is a stretch but do you think they might do a Professor Perry as Dr. Frankenstein?
>>10416750Well they did confirm David Warner's likeness was OK'd for a Perry right? I could see it. Maybe put him in a 2 pack with a Danny or Keno variant. If you're gonna pay for likeness rights you may as well get your moneys worth.
>>10416816exactly my thinking. now Keno would make a good wolfman if that was the direction they were going..
>>10410407it's cool these still sell after all these years, hope it doesn't get snuffed for the rogen turtle line, because every time they get stocked at my stores, they vanish in days if not the same day, they're not cooling off like I'd thought they would
>>10417012the missing paint and accessories don't bother you?
>>10417317i would feel sorry for parents today but they fucking raised the kids like this
>>10417317I'm so excited to get my Downs Mikey cup topper as I watch the Seth Rogen masterpiece Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, only in theaters!
>>10417495>not real autism, but an amazing simulation
Found these four by happy accident at Big W the other day. They look great. Find the other two today at the local toy store while seeing if the had any party vans (regret not buying it while they had it)
>>10417522These faces never fail to make me laugh. I bought the storage shell pack and the party van off Wal-Mart today, I wish we had more of the classics line up in Canada.
>>10417522they sold the sports turtles separately?
>>10417212it's just a little paint and a few weapons what's the big deal, would you have nothing?
>>10417622i would have better toys.. and if it wasn't for playmates, I could continue to, with super7. not that they don't also have issues with paint and accessories sometimes
>>10417522>>10417547>UH OH! LUMPY FART
>>10417573Probably later on. I've seen some stores break up those box sets too.
>>10417522Playmates will have the bulk of the shelf space by midsummer between their throwback and Mutant Mayhem lines. This is not a necababy prediction, it’s a SPOILER. randy and the others will be scattered, forced to sell their wares at smaller specialty shops, online retailers, or direct to consumer. Thank you based Playmates, from very grateful euroanon.
>>10417320You need to get your head out of your ass
>>10417320Wow, boomers said the same thing in the 90s.
>>10418054and they were right about a small minority, exaggerated by the media. the rest of us sneered at their shows and movies.
>>10417977You're a fucking paychopath. Playmates gets dumped on clearance. It's nothing.
>>10418342*psychopath.
>>10418342>i replied to the psycho again!! i'm a hero!your attempts to help at appreciated, but nobody wants you to keep doing that.
>>10417977>direct to consumeri would want nothing more please don’t get our hopes up
Check your Walmarts also Rat King and Saxter Btockman.
>>10418416He's a troll, nothing he says, at all, has any truth to it.
>10418540Ban evaders gets no (you)s Anyway here’s the repainted jaw on my Dreadmon. Learn to paint and customize if you are a necallector, it will come in handy one day. You’ve been warned.
>>10418690ey good job!
>>10418690Wow your total exaggeration of a "problem" gone with a centimeter of black paint? Gosh it's like you were full of shit the whole time.
>>10418690aww he’s cutie nice fix up anon
>>10418690Yet you still decided to make a troll post.
>>10419370those hands look posable, i'm really surprised they're not, evidenced by how many there are. you don't usually see such crisp and deep spaces between joints on non-posable hands
>>10419370Cyber Shredder standing all uwu got me actin' up
>>10420076i bet this one's gonna sell like hotcakes. People who were not really convinced the turtles would have their own gundams with their likenesses (or just don't like the belt emblems) would TOTALLY buy shredder having a mech, to fight the normal turtles in. How tall are these again?
>>104200879 inches. About the same size as Master Grade gunpla. Since they're releasing one by one I think I might pick these up.
>>10420213hmm, not big enough scale to headcanon as a mech where shredder's sitting in the torso or something, but you could imagine it's a big robot, an equivalent of chrome dome. it'd look great with the 2004 turtles
>>10420225I think they all come with little scale versions of the turtles too, they go into little cockpits.
>>10418540>You have earned points toward your $25 giftcard
>>10420289oh fucking cool. yes now that you mention it, I have seen those.
>>10415145>>10415146>>10418473why no vehicles?
>>10420459they rereleased the party wagon (and fucked super7 in the ass in the process, as if anyone's going to confuse the 40 and 500 dollar ones), what more do you want?
Well this is interesting. Explains a bit why Playmates has been screwing Super7.
>>10420563
>>10420565
>>10420566
>>10420294You're just proving their point, dipwad.>>10420563Those are all Mutant Mayhem figures right? So they're just references to old Playmates figures...meaning Seth really has no knowledge of TMNT outside of the toys.
>>10420678He also probably got a Toon Irma figure in April’s packaging.
>>10417320>Today I will remind them
>>10420567There's Mondo Gecko down there. Wonder if he's coming as another rerelease?
>>10420678The first ever BILLION dollar turtles film has a nice ring to it doesn’t it? A jobless neco ambassador couldn’t comprehend the inner workings of the mind of Seff Rogen and the success he brought the Mario Bros movie
>>10420563>>10420565>>10420566>>10420567Where did these come from? They look like customs more than prototypes.
>>10420912Yeah even for prototypes that is incredibly sloppy paint
>>10420912Instagram. My guess is that they're early production samples or some such. The unpainted prototype for Raph leaked awhile back, and there's some accounts posting more protos for the baby turtles set and head sculpts, so I'm willing to bet these are legit.
>>10420566what
>>10420981i was wondering why that prototype had such a weird headguys this needs to stop. playmates is sullying the memory of playmates.
>>10420563>>10420565>>10420566>>10420567ah yes, the four humours:fake astronaut, fake cowboy, real astronaut, and jimmy buffet.
Every time someone's like "Anon stop complaining about new entries, they can't take away the old ones, this doesn't affect you" I'm going to bring this shit up now.Honestly those people must not have any interests, if they aren't aware that bad new entries fuck over the availability of enjoyment for things related to old ones, especially tie-in products.
>>10410407Damn shame not once they ever reissued either the sewer lair or the technodrome yet we get the party van always
>>10421084playmate should do something like haslab didI would definitely bout two or three
>>10421110If they made an all new giant Technodrome yeah, but knowing Playmates they'd just use the old one and still try to do crowdfunding on it.>We found the old molds, but they're not in usable condition, please we must raise money to restore the molds, please think of the nostalgia
>>10421083The hell are you on about? Unless you have a personal financial stake in the longevity of a franchise or brand why would you be this upset over another stinker in the toilet that is post 90s ninja turtles?
>>10421115Shit like stickers and the other moving pieces would be stretch goals, too. >If we can't sell 100,000 units then the plastic costs of this little pipe will LITERALLY bankrupt us!
>>10421115Bro, Id be down for that honestly as long as its not going to reach the aftermarket prices for a original techno-drome
>>10421116my personal financial stake is I want to keep buying super7 ultimates the way they've BEEN making emplus like, a 15% increase in durability and color-accuracy.
>>10409096just bought 3 mouser packs. army time
>>10421137>Super7>INCREASING in qualityNot in this lifetime, buddy. They found out they can cut costs every single wave and still keep selling enough to keep afloat.
>>10421145i didn't say what's gonna happen, i said what my stake in it is.that is sad though, and i'm sick of them getting messed with, but I'm sure at least 38% of that shit is their own fault.
>>10421148Subpar7's fate was decided the moment that the first wave reissue was announced. The only way they were going to avoid the ire of Playmates was staying under the radar and not getting big sales with the line, but as soon as retailers started demanding a reissue there was no way people weren't going to take notice. TMNT wasn't some dead franchise like Thundercats, it was still very much active and ripping off another companies designs wasn't going to last forever if they sold well. But as it often goes with these things, Brian Flynn saw those paychques coming in and got greedy. Cut corners and raised prices until Playmates wasn't going to put up with their shit anymore, so now he's burned the goodwill of their customers since they can't deliver something decent, and they can't design their own toys for shit.
ignorei would say 'report and ignore' but I got a warning last time I said that, and I see other similar messages in this here thread being deleted, so I guess recommending reports is no longer okay.
>>10421137Yeah, these new reveals from Playmates just make me more worried about Super7 trying to do "original" designs on the next waves. Cause we've seen how horrible that was...

more like BLECHnodrome
Last Ronin Minimates. They're also doing a Technodrome and turtle van package for the next set of TMNT toon minimates.
>>10424463damn taht actually looks really goodaside from the belt. guys. quit using ribbon belts. they are TERRIBLE. they don't hang right at all. Maybe they would if you glued a bend in them or something, maybe tied them the way you tie a necktie?
>>10424609With soft goods I find just working the fabric into the shape I want eventually works, sometimes you can use a little water to get a sharper bend or twist.
>>10424428Why won't Last Ronin just end?
>>10424914It's the first TMNT comic in ages to get both critical acclaim and high sales, of course they're going to milk the fuck out of it
>>10425007we all got duped into thinking it was a true eastman and laird collab and it fucking wasnt. that is where the *ENTIRETY* of the hype and momentum for the series came from
>>10425007Lost Years isn’t doing the numbers of the first run, interest is waning already
>>10425083ah yeah that kind of thing happens a lot.>>10424890huh, water. hadn't thought of that. I just replace mine with twist ties
>>10425143Yeah, as it dries it reshapes the fabric. Might take a few tries to get it right if you haven't done it before but it can always be redone, and looks nice.
>>10425227might give it a shot.. but I also feel like too often the ribbons are too shiny. I suppose you could scuff them up with a brush or something? sort of felt up the 'nap' or whatever? I suppose the idea there is they won't get stuck in permanent knots because silky shit can always be unpicked, but it's definitely not how I imagine Splinter's belt. and in the case of donatello's bo, it just looks like shit and they should have made it a flexible but firm plastic loop that holds the bo via friction
>>10425555For the bo strings you could probably scuff it a bit with some modelling sandpaper? I haven't thought about it much since I've always had his shell in the back.
>>10425580I might try that on my movie II don, I just kinda ran out of fucks to give, pulled his bo out, the strings didn't spontaneously untie, i don't care that I probably won't be able to get it back in, and just left it in his hands. I really don't play with my figures enough.my movie 1 Don I just replaced the strings with snipped twist-tie segments. the nice rubber-coated black ones, so it looks good.
>>10425584I have my movie II Don dancing with his mop girlfriend. I love that whole apartment bit.
>>10425590that really was a fantastic bit. I'm not super keen to have them in aprons goofing around on my -shelf- but I liked it in general. I should watch those movies more often.also god fucking damn what is taking so long to get a movie II splinter? did movie 1 splinter sell really poorly or something? I fucking pre-ordered him, stupidly, missing out on the multipack later with more hands and slippers.
>>10425125Just admit you don't read TMNT comics already.
Mirage TMNT 4pack front flap teased some more.
>>10425610If you thought the turtle hoard was staggering in its scope, eye watering even, you should see my tmnt comic collection. I treat them like my moc figures, everything is slabbed and I read issues on comixology as I wouldn’t dare crease anything, necafren
>>10425841In other words, they're right. You don't read TMNT comics and you have your head up your ass.
>>10425869I unironically love the turtle hoard pictures, lets me live vicariously through someone else for a moment. We need a battle of the hoards.
>>10421343NTA but I once got warned a year or two ago for simple saying "ignore and report" which I found weird because it was never a problem before, I think it can depend on whoever you get sometimes.
>>10424914>Why won't Minimates just end?fixed
>>10426481This, honestly I'm surprised minimates are still a thing, I don't think I've ever seen anyone who buys let alone collects them but I guess they must be selling.
>>10426965The fuck even are they? Legos?
>>10426971They're are no building blocks from what I've seen, it's just the figures which look like a unholy combination of Lego and MegaBlok minifigures but with none of the good aspects.I think their main gimmick is part swapping but even then I'm not sure.
>>10420563>>10420565>>10420566>>10420567My guess:They wear these as halloween costumes or something in the movie as an homage to the funny costumes or something.
>>10427896They're smaller now?
>>10427934Being smaller has made them less offensive. I could stomach having a handful of these littering a shelf.
>>10427896Fukno Fukno
>>10427959Fuck off
>>10427950yeah theyre still stupid but this is better
>>10428130Next time say "Fuk off", you weirdo
>>10427959Imagine being this much of a contrarian. >>10427896I kind of want these to give to my boys on the shelf. I could see Mikey playing with figures of himself...
>>10428905the crummy idiot version of mikey from most adaptations would absolutely have funko pops
>>10420459Yeah, I want the Foot Cruiser or the Transport module at least. I know playmates will skimp out on the chrome if they did re-release the cruiser, but I wouldnt mind since vintages ones are insane in prices for a complete one.
>>10429419i guess super7 might theoretically give us videogame versions of those? hmm. not as satisfyingi would also appreciate some of the weird little foot soldier personal vehicle/jetpack things
>>10429447I don't see them doing any such thing. There's no reason to put the money into tooling when you can't even do the actual vehicle.
>>10429455yeah.. yeah.. but maybe you could do an even better version of it. especially with some of the sillier ones like the footski, it doesn't REALLY need to have eels embedded through the front pylons, does it?
>Party wagon delayed until DecemberIt's never coming, is it?
>>10430491Wonder if they'll have to change more things cause of Playmates' nitpicking and ribbing.
>>10430491over a year between wave 6 and wave 7. what the fuck is going on with super 7?
>>10427887>>10427896slop
>>10430514Stop what? Posting on topic toys?
>>10430518>there was a neco here it’s gone now
>>10430518can't wait to see these ugly designs plastered everywhere
>>10430516no no, i didn't say "stop", i said "SLOP", because that is the quality of consumer trash these are. you didn't do anything wrong documenting it
>>10430513pretty sure we're aware
>>10430529Man they are banking hard on this movie doing well, aren't they?
>>10430550It will earn a billion dollars opening weekend. The public is primed and ready for turtlemania 2.0
>>10430550Seth Rogen will lead Turtledom into a glorious new Utopia, as he has with Mario. Only he has the genius to breathe new life into this dead franchise, everyone will forget all other iterations of TMNT once they have seen Rogen's masterpiece.
Huh, didn't realize that the storage shell reissued Michelangelo was missing his sickle. Now this is going to bother me for weeks.
>>10430561Didn’t we have that during the height of the 2012 cartoon/IDW Comics/Platinum Dunes movies? Seems like it lasted a bit and then died off again. I highly doubt it’ll get to that level of popularity again for the franchise.
>>10430575Yeah I can't see turtlemania coming back with the force it held in the 80s and 90s. Realistically we'll get another TV show and a follow up toyline, then it'll rest for a few years again.
>>10430576The tv show is literally a follow up to the movie it is literally already in the works. Netflix films focusing on minor villain character origins, huge marketing campaign, a billion dollar film, and playmates reclaiming its rightful place at the TOP of the mountain as the master license holder while randy loses market share and shelf space. hold on to your butts
>>10430586They’ll be on Paramount Plus, not Netflix
when they showin off turtle april
>>10430561It'll be in the 400-500 million range. It's coming straight after the hype of Spiderverse so it's going to ride on that train.
Are the retro playmates any good? I'm getting wing nut and Baxter regardless but I want a few more like ghengis and krang.
>>10430790they are not. the molds are remade, rather clumsily, with new seam lines and tons of lacking paint and sometimes lacking accessories.
>>10430797Bummer, OK well ill check the ones I really want thanks.
>>10430561>>10430567Shut the fuck up already.>>10430570I'll do you one better: they used the wrong arms and legs for Mikey too. They're reuse from Donnie and Raph.
>>10430790Krang is good. The painted veins are sloppier than the vintage toy but he's a totally fine release. No weird colors, no missing items...
>>10430820Once God King Rogen comes to power doubters like you will be cast into pits of ooze, where you will be transformed and have to spend the rest of your lives as human cockroaches. Thus is the fate of all infidels.
>>10430790It's good if you never had them growing up, like me. I only had the 4 turtles and a couple others. Hoping more are on the way.
>>10430810yeah, they're not all made equally bad. Some are much better than others, so if you have attachment to these, look up some reviews, hope they show comparisons to the originals.. but i'll tell you right now, Bebop is an embarrassment.
>>10430856It's so weird how I can never remember for sure whether I had the original 4 turtles. I'm pretty sure I didn't, yet I was SO familiar with them. Their specific images were everywhere on packaging and shit, so it feels like I had them. and I do remember seeing them in stores, and being a dumb kid like "nah I want the ones with pupils, like the cartoon!" and getting mostly Wacky Action ones instead. I think I only had original Leo, I distinctly remember the floppy thin plastic swords.It's also funny how consistent they were initially, wacky action raph had the same pushdagger storage on the back of his belt. I think. At least some other raph did. Maybe it was head-dropping raph, I definitely had that one. Come to think of it, I must have changed to raph-as-favorite pretty early on.. those memories are really spotty.
Man, they better reuse this arcade cabinet when they finally get around to making Tempestra and pack her with it.
>>10430913Yeah, the one I recall had the worst looking face I've ever seen. Like melted crayon instead of paint, splinter just looks stupid and my very first tmnt figure shredder just smells like a disappointment. Nostalgia power must be strong since these figures are moving quickly in my area.
>>10430913they’re on the same level as the neco toon line, where you must learn to thin your paints and fix mistakes or sculpted areas that went unpainted. they are literally on equal footing. it isn’t as involved as having to drill out joints to fix them like randy’s gifts so minor paint applications are entry level customizer stuff you can do it anon
>>10430820>I'll do you one better: they used the wrong arms and legs for Mikey too. They're reuse from Donnie and Raph.Oh shit you're right, looking at the original group they must have chinced out on doing a separate leg and arm set. Fucking Playmates, man.
>>10430586>The tv show is literally a follow up to the movie it is literally already in the works.These guys couldn't have picked a better time to come back.
>>10431913playmates knows how to cheap outbut I guess we should be glad, because TMNT could not have supported a more expensive toyline, not initially anyway, and the toyline really helped launch the franchise. It's just yknow, we're not there anymore. it's like soul food developed to get through times of poverty, or cocktails invented to hide the taste of bootleg hooch. we can still use those tactics now, but with the quality ingredients we're now blessed with.
>>10432013they are not a billion dollar ip no one cares about them, they have shite design and go in the pile of the other TMNT knock offs that are forgotten by the public
>>10432044they have pretty excellent design, marred only by the low, wide ears and low cranium
>>10430545ok? s7 shill
yknow every time seth rogen and his terrible movies come up here, i remind people he used to be great, and people don't believe methat greatness is still inside. It's hard to bring out, but it's there. check him out in that adorable home-filmed celebrity princess bride shot-for-shot remake on youtube, he's nailing it. all it takes is better material.
>>10432215what do you do when you like a product?
>>10432270Nobody cares
>>10432356anon, nobody cares whether anyone cares
>>10432270When was he great? 40 Year Old Virgin? I barely even remember his performance in the movie.
>>10432595never saw thatthe one i always bring up is 'zack and miri make a porno' but i never saw that either. uh, freaks and geeks? that was great.
>>10432270>he used to be greatRogen has never been great, he's been doing the same braindead dudebro schtick his entire career. He has straight up admitted he can't do anything else.
>>10432710>admitted he can't do anything elsein acting, maybe, but that's hardly all he does in the film industry you tosspot
>>10432710dudebro shit is funny when it's done well.just like adam sandler's schtick is funny when it's done well. which it isn't very often anymore, but sure used to be. That's My Boy was fucking great sort of. great idea, inspired casting, okay execution.
>>10432732Yes yes he also produces braindead dudebro movies starring other dudes
>>10432270EH HEH HEH HEH HEH
>>10432270He was great in this movie, though then again he wasn't playing another dopey dudebro.
>>10432270but he’s a mentally deranged militant communist cuck
>>10432316i was the biggest supporter of the s7 ultimates line.liking something does not mean denying its faults. s7 has MANY faults. if you really like something, you want it to be the best it can be.nothing gets better when you deny that it has any faults.
Still no word on when the new toon April goes up for pre-order? Please spoonfeed me and hold my hand, I haven't been paying attention to the threads since she was announced a few weeks ago.
>>10433124exactly>>10433269sad isnt it? but a lot of them are coming around. they're realizing that there's no point in going along with the crowd out of fear, because the mob will just save you for last. Most of these guys don't really believe in it, or anything.>>10433496agreed, tons of faults. The fact that I like the Ultimates is the reason those faults bug me so much. For one thing, all of them were 100% preventable, and none of them saved the company any money. far from it.If you're that same guy, can I ask why it was shilling to acknowledge that we know why the waves are late? Playmates interference. It's not a judgment call, it's a deduction.
Get yer wallets ready fellas, SDCC is just around the corner.
SDCC reveal from Fwoosh and Ernie, Keno pizza pack. Only the extra items are exclusive, early way to get the Keno set.
>>10433640
>>10433642
>>10433640Comes with alt heads, cloth, wired, robes, VHS packaging, all new sculpts.
>>10433640I'm... very torn. I think my budget is not going to cover this>the faces are ugly>I have no desire to get any other characters from that movie (except april)>They'll probably be really expensive because of all the armor and shitI do have nostalgia for that movie, I remember seeing it as a kid and loving it, but... I started justifying these purchases saying that I was getting a piece of Creature Shop history.>>10433643this guy though, he's growing on me. he had funny lines. I think this is happening.
>>10433642>FwooshReally hate those guys
>>10433642>Extra itemslike what?
>>10433699Nobody gives a shit who you like faggot
>>10433684If the turtles look like ass just like the movie than it's an easy decision as long
>>10433708Randall is better than Robo
>>10433718but...what if I could put my spare movie II heads on the III bodies but still wear the helmets and menpou?
>>10433736I can guarantee the colors will not match at all
>>10433616yeah same guy. i took the "pretty sure we're aware" as a passive aggressive "stop talking about it", basically in defense of S7. i took it as like, "don't criticize them". hence shill.i think even with the situation with playmates, they should not be shielded from criticism. plus, the announced waves should already be OK'd by viacom, so not really much playmates should be responsible for there in slowing those down to a *year*.anyway, have a good one dude. if you were the one i called a shill, no bad blood.
>>10433743you think the faces and hands will clash that badly?>>10433745in fairness I can be a little pass-agg once in a while, but in this case I was really just saying we get it already, let's stop harping on it, it's unpleasant and none of us can do anything about it. You can certainly criticize them because they're under a sort of contract with us, but most of the criticism needs to go toward viacom and playmates in my opinion. then again maybe it is all super7's fault, it would not shock me. they're not fast. I doubt Viacom has literally pulled THIS wave, I think it's more like everyone in the company had to scramble to slam on the brakes after getting a 'cut it out' notice, and that slowed their work down. and probably a lot of people (wisely?) fled the sinking ship
>>10433704Like what's in the picture. Shirt, pins, magnets, fun trinkets supporting Keno/Ernie.
>>10433906>Like what's in the picture.this confirms my suspicion that you tried to put a picture in >>10433642 and have still not realized that it didn't attach
>>10433961This confirms my suspicion that you're too stupid to realize I posted the picture right under the post when it didn't attach the first time. Try paying attention, fuck's sake.
Playmates wasting no time with the crummy repaints. Battle Damage 2-packs. Closer look at the undersized villain figures though.

>>10434163Leatherhead is female, bigot
>>10434242god anon women can't be alligators what's wrong with youno actually okay that does explain that. still weird though.
>>10433777i hear all that; we're on the same page. cheers, man. appreciate you extending the olive branch. consider it extended back. my B for assuming your intentions noncharitably
>>10434163same.i'm equally worried about tmnt collectors in their 30s and 40s who buy literally anything. guys, can we please boycott these?
I don't like the playmates Shredder much, but love the Turtles.Bst Axn has a good Shredder, April, Casey and actually did the Krang robot.Can I mix and match ok?Also how are Bst Axn Rocksteady and Bebop compared to Playmates reissues?
>>10434376This took way longer to find than it should havehttps://youtu.be/rC7fN_IJeVo?t=533sorry anon, looks like they're taller and skinnier than playmates, would not really scale.wait, sorry, you were asking if shredder scales with the playmates turtles? actually, probably? because all best axns are the same height, which means imagine that best axn mikey there is shredder. It's just yknow, he's still going to be in a much less stumpy proportion style, so
>>10434396Sorry, wasn't clear. Wanted to use BST AXN Shredder, Casey, April and Krang with Playmates Turtles. Not sure if I should go playmates or BST AXN for Rocksteady and Bebop.
>>10432013>>10432044>YFW the crossover is pretty much inevitable.Maybe we'll even get one with IDW and another with the 1987-inspired comic and the 1993 show?
>>10434523no no it was clear, i just gooned upbut that video should still give you an idea of the size and shape of best axns. if you do this, you won't be able to have any non-turtle playmates guys mixed in, because only the turtles can get away with being so short.
