TMNT 2017 Action Figures

[SS Kakarot]

Found these 4-pack images on various websites, I don't think I've seen these before.

Interesting. Seems like it's a regular repack with no paint differences.

[Candy Kappa]

I've seen that 2 battle shell with Shredder and Splinter 4-pack in stores as well as a 4-pack of the Basic Nick Turtles

[Ninjinister]

Yeah those are new to me.

I finally found Savage Rahzar at Wal-Mart today but they had no other secondary characters. Just Turtles up through Suoer Shredder wave.

Forgive me if this is the wrong thread, but I saw a metal head in NECAs tease for Pennywise. Was this metalhead ever released?

Yep, back in 2012. I think it was a part of the second wave of Nick figures.

Weird that they got a random Playmates fig there. Are there any other non-NECAs in that pic?

There's a Hasbro Marvel Beetle fig behind the coffee mug, and an Admiral Ackbar in front of the monitor.

Not that weird, it's obvious that's just some guy's working place that he decorated with a bunch of figures he likes, tons of people do that.

I mean how many times do people keep the competitor's products on display like that?

[Powder]

All the time?

Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer. Makes perfect sense, to me, to have examples of what you compete with around. That way you can see what they did right, and what could be better. Also if you are interested in making your line work with items from theirs it would be essential to have some of their stuff. Although I don't think NECA is thinking about that.

Sad note. Saw lots of TMNT stuff on Clearance today.

I'm sure they don't see it like that, instead they just see them as something they love or it's just something it was given to them on a convention or by a family member/friend.

What did you see in particular? I know the Mega Blocks have been drastically reduced.

[BYWInsaniac]

I know in animation we decorate our desks/offices with the stuff we love and the stuff that inspires us. I've got Batman the Animated Series art pinned up on my corkboard, and usually have some Bucky O'Hare figures. I imagine this artists thought Metalhead was an amazing figure (cause it totally is!)

Target has been clearancing all their turtle stuff. I think someone mentioned this, but confirmed the targets are doing it in my area

[RaphaelinSTL]

I will say that I noticed a particular Target near me had all their TMNT stuff down already and the Toys R Us near me also was incredibly dry on their stock. Do we have a guesstimate on when the 2018 merchandise is likely to hit shelves?

[EddieNES]

I’d say it’s all done pretty much. Stores are busy with Xmas returns and general cleanup while the stock is low. TRU generally only gets 1 truck a week now till spring set up.

Grab what you see while you can.
Rise is coming.

[DVD]

Just been sent good news about the Monsters and Mutants range.
I have the two Mutant Hunter figures in their way to me and should arrive early next week.
I think that completes the Monsters range (6 figures), which as I said in another thread, is my favorite range from the 2012 Playmates figures.



Update.
Figures are even better than I expected.
Here they all are, together in the cabinet.
Definitely my favorite range in the 2012 collection.

Was back at Target. No TMNT basic figures at all. In fact I think the only toys left were a couple of micro sets. They were some of the few items that didn't get clearanced. Which I thought was odd. I also got Usagi with horse on clearance at Walmart. I think their basic figs were marked down too. Can't remember for sure now.
