35th Anniversary Comic Book set from Playmates

*DVD* · 06-21-2019, 04:05 PM

Please feel free to take this down if it’s been mentioned before.

I see that Playmates are doing a 35th Anniversary Comic Book set of figures.
The figures are all B/W versions of their color versions from a few years back,
Only color, is their bandanas: all red of course.
The detailing has been upped somewhat from the SDCC Raph, and the set comes with a version of the 1st comic with an exclusive cover penned by Kevin Eastman.

I’m not sure if this is an SDCC release, but it’s got a run of 7000 sets.

Cool I guess. Luckily not for me, those figures looked really bad if it's just a redo of the Playmates Mirage figures

Where did you find this info? Sounds exciting!

super curry max · 06-21-2019, 06:08 PM

I cant find any info on this

*DVD* · 06-21-2019, 06:41 PM

Information comes from the set i have.
I found nothing on-line about it, so I didn’t post pics.
I was trying to see if it was an SDCC Ex.
There is nothing in the packaging to suggest it is, but it has an edition count, out of 7000 (so there are quite a few sets being made)

Essentially B/W versions of these guys with added body detailing that accentuates the comic book look.

Here’s a taster of the item.
If I get no objections from anyone, I’ll post a full set of pics after the weekend.

I know they are rehashed, but I think they look pretty cool.

This must be the project Kevin hinted at around Toy Fair. SDCC exclusive does seem likely and I wouldn't be surprised if they're offered through the Sewer Squad site too.

cloud · 06-21-2019, 11:13 PM

That's cool. Even since they made a black and white Raphael I want the full set.
This would do.
Hope it won't be expensive.

i may have to pick this up. i like it

*Oculus Orbus* · 06-22-2019, 09:02 AM

I haven't bought a Playmates figure in many years, but I'm curious about these.

*DVD* · 06-23-2019, 08:50 PM

Weekend over and no complaints.

Picture time.

I really like this packaging. Best that Playmates has ever done in my opinion.

The back is pretty cool:

And the figures:

Got to say that I am very impressed with this set.

I’ve seen conflicting dates in articles that were posted about this set, with some saying today July 18th, but a few articles were running with August 18th as the date. I’ve got a free day, so I’ll keep digging and rechecking Walmart

Weapons@theready · 07-18-2019, 08:43 AM

And they’re up

I ordered mine. $45 with free shipping.

*Coro* · 07-18-2019, 09:03 AM

Grabbed a couple sets of the BW Turtles, but wheres the OG TMNT Playmates 4 pack?

Browne762 · 07-18-2019, 09:12 AM

I have only seen info about the OG 4 pack here, nothing yet on Facebook. I would think maybe they will be revealed after they sell a bunch of the B&W ones online. Kind of like a "here is your second chance to get some 35th anniversary action!"

Price point was a lot better than I was expecting. Great deal in my book

*wpugh2424* · 07-18-2019, 09:35 AM

on the fence on these regarding the order just for the box art
decisions decisions

Browne762 · 07-18-2019, 09:35 AM

I am hoping the package arrives without damage. (Lots of Funko boxes arrive in poor condition) I intend to display them in the package. I wouldn't have ordered them otherwise, just not that interested in them loose.

909 Turtle Fan · 07-18-2019, 09:41 AM

Just ordered a set.
Went with the pick up in store option instead of delivery, so hopefully the package is nice and crisp.

Thanks! Just ordered a set!

I'm not the biggest fan of their look, BUT I like them in this overall packaging with the comic.
