I thin those are supposed to be little pieces of brick breaking off and flying outward. The original packaging has those same/similar details, but I see what you mean.

The ties to the Mirage Studios comic book are gone for TMNTU line. How are they even Eastman and Laird’s TMNT?

It’s not easy to tell that the action figures are bursting out from the sewer walls, either, like with the original Playmates toy line. I hope they plan on changing the brick colors for Baxter Stockman and every supporting character afterwards. I’m liking the ReAction figures a little more than these.

That is either a nice nod to the creators or, more likely, the result of a continuity/legacy agreement that E&L's camp has negotiated to keep them in royalties. It's sort of how Stan Lee negotiated remaining the face of all things Marvel, even in properties for Marvel that he didn't create.

When should we expect to hear the lineup to the 2nd wave of TMNTU?

Thundercats Ultimates wave 2 goes on pre-order Jan 2020. Brian F mentioned he may do a sneak peek of them in Dec, if we are lucky.

Since TCU is 1 month ahead of TMNTU according to S7, that would mean we could possibly get a sneak peek of TMNTU wave 2 in Jan 2020 with a pre-order for wave 2 in February.

That being said, S7 is notoriously bad at meeting their own announced release dates. Like really, really bad. For example, Wave 4 of MOTUC CG went up for preorder in Jan 2019, was supposed to be out in June 2019, and we are currently HOPING they even release before the end of the year.

Wave 2 pre-order is in March

They gave a 5 wave release schedule already

Wave 3 is in June

When do you all think wave 1 is going to release?

Wave 4 is Sept

These are the pre-order months for each wave. 5 Sets total coming (for now)

So, we should expect to see the wave 2 figures at Toy Fair 2020?

According to BigBadToyStore, wave 1 is estimated to arrive in the 2nd quarter of next year (April 1st - June 30th, 2020).

I would count on it

Do you think we should expect to see April or a different turtle for the Turtles side? The ‘88 all yellow jumpsuit April or ‘89 blue stripe April would be cool. I was never a big fan of the ‘91 April with and without the Press sign.

We will get 2 good guys, 2 bad guys each wave

a turtle in each wave

I would put money on the 88 yellow jumpsuit April in one of the 5 waves.

She should be in the next wave followed by Casey Jones in wave 3. I have no idea who would be in wave 4. Usagi Yojimbo?

Ace Duck
Genghis Frog
Muckman
Mondo Gecko etc

I would imagine they will cover some 1990 too

Mondo Gecko before Genghis Frog or after? What do you think?

Well, I prefer they make them in order by years. I'd rather have genghis frog first

88-90 are by far the best of the bunch, So I hope they make all those

Is Genghis Frog as desired by adult collectors as Mondo Gecko and some of the other 1990 figures?

Do you see there being any TMNTU figures of the turtle variant sub-waves like Wacky Action figures (especially the first wave turtles)? A Mouser in the form of the 1989 Wacky Action Mouser was included with the TMNTU Baxter Stockman. How far do you see the TMNTU line going? Will the TMNTU line consist of the basic characters that were well liked from each basic assortment made sold from 1988 to 1990, 1988 to 1991, or 1988 to 1994 (every basic assortment of the original Playmates line)?
