If they cancel Usagi's wave, I will be sooo done.

The announcement of the new cartoon so soon just seems a perfect reason to can any new figures that require much new tooling. I could very well be wrong and for those who are vested I hope I am.

I have accepted the fact we won't get many of the prototypes shown (savanti,pet 3 pack) but if you're going to re-use old molds why not finish the dream beavers?? I can't believe we could've gotten so many other characters and we've gotten variants this entire series. After Usagi releases I am kind of glad this line will die. So much wasted potential. Could've gotten Mona Lisa or wyrm in the dimension X, Or at least a basic Triceraton (pictured on Walmart) to army build instead of just Mozar, similar to Robug and dregg. SMH I know it's the collector in me but as a consumer also it just doesn't sit well. Spent so much money even on the movie merch. OK rant over for time being.

Just want to add one more thing, then I'll quit beating this dead horse for a while. I would like to show my appreciation to Playmates for canning 6" Classics Shredder and Krangg, just for them to use all that new molding for wave 2 of oversized WWE gimmicks. THANK YOU PLAYMATES! just what I've always wanted: Fin Balor Leo! ( I'm not flaming this line specifically, just think they could've made better selections, and am using it as an example for price point/size comparison. IMO Wrestling fans would rather buy wrestling figures.) I mean I understand these are aimed at children, but who is essentially purchasing them? Folks in the age range to have actually enjoyed the 90s cartoon. Sorry just was going through old pictures and brought back some feels. End rant pt2
Side note: I def would have bought those Mirage figures had they released. Last edited by tw2thr3; 04-27-2017 at 11:14 AM. |

man, that's an excellent point. As a non-wrestling fan (no offense to anyone, it's just not my bag) and as a huge TMNT fan, I'd much rather see a classics Shredder than Donatello cosplaying as the Undertaker.
But in all honesty, after handling the NECA Donatello (and I realize this isn't the thread for this) I think in general, Playmates Toys has no business making Turtles figures anymore.

I like the ooze hand effect.

They wouldn't cancel Usagi, right?

Not to mention the obligatory "wacky" variant.

Just wish they'd finish the safari line. I'm honestly surprised HSH never got ordered for a show. Muppet Babies style.

XL figure? I imagine they're big? I don't remember seeing that but it's likely I brain-blocked them if they're nothing special.

The look really weird and stretched out, not as big as the big battle Shells but they are a bit taller. Looks like they just re-purposed the heads from the Battle Shells. Usagi XL looks much better then the Turtles, so that's something I guess. |

Oh, right! I forgot about that. I remember wondering if these style of figures really sold because they stagnate like crazy around here.
