They are probably showing up in a lot of stores. But they have a street date in April. I got lucky and the manager of the store where I found the giants and the truck was okay with just overriding the street date. But even he was then going back to the shelf to pull anything else from the movie. (Like I would leave anything behind.)

When the 2003 reboot happened, they were reused first as promo keychains at the 2003 Toy Fair and then as the regular Mini Turtles. But as they expanded the line, they created actual figure for Splinter, April, Shredder and the Foot Soldier.

Adding Casey now is strange any way you look at it though.

Ah, yes, I forgot about the mutaforce line, which I had only discovered a few years back on your site. Not something I remember when I was a kid, of course there was always a lot of stuff to choose from, probably a lot more than now.

I might have to go and see if my store got any new movie stuff in.

Though it is mostly the bad guys. Good thing I was going after Bebop and Rocksteady first. There are even the movie megabloks on there as well.

[Reigner]

Found the first 11basic figures. The 4 bikes. The roleplay gear and the large Turtles, Rocksteady and Bebop at a Walmart in SouthCenteal PA

[ReaverStrike]

I found all basic movie figures and vehicles in an isle display at Walmart in Upstate NY.

[BlueKatana]

Floor display found in Hodgkins, IL a little while ago.



Looked untouched, they had multiples of each accept 1 Casey and 1 Foot Soldier.

I picked up Casey, Leo, Kraang, Bebop and Rocksteady.

[Nasubionna]

What's with making Rocksteady basically white instead of grey, and Bebop MUCH lighter than he should be? They did this to the Nickelodeon Bebop toy, too, and it ticks me off.

[DVD]

Glad to see these on shelves.
Timing is about spot on. Don't get the issue over color of BB n RS. Both look great to me (even if mine are under a couple months of dust haha).
Pictures NEVER capture true color. My flash shots always look over saturated and non flash, anaemic .
I was about to pass on those twin packs as I really didn't spot the color changes. And that pic of the lair had totally sold me on getting this.
Thanks for the uploads.

Cause Playmates doesn't care. They stopped caring a long time ago.

There's two Nick Bebops. One's light, the other dark. They came out about the same time so I don't even think it was a running change.

[Meow]

Yes absolutely, they stopped caring probably even in the 90ies. Just look at the painting accuracy on bepos purple beard and you know the drill while I'm trying to remind you that Playmates is still a toy company aiming at children, not at the collectors or figure loving market.

Disable the flash, add some more light sources, use white fabric or similar to cover up additional light sources direct light in order to make it soft, raise exposure time "to catch more light" while shooting and you should be good to go.

[Angry_Raph]

Went out to Orland Park Walmart and found a second display type. This one has vehicles and the action feature talking turtles, and I'm not sure if someone put them up there but it also had some dimension X figures on the top center row.

[chaosorc]

Are the turtles themselves completely new for the new movie or did they repackage the ones from the first movie?

All new. Not sure if there is any parts reuse, but none of them are repacks.

[Powder]

Yeah, Splinter is a re-paint, & though we have not seen her sculpt yet, April may be as well. But all the rest are entirely new, turtles included.

[BlueKatana]

Yeah, Splinter is for sure. Would not be surprised if April is, honestly surprised they are doing one, but I won't complain. Would be cool to get a Karai.
