I'm so happy they included the Unmasked (well okay, turtle head with bandana mask) alternate heads. That really sold me extra on these. Definitely buying them all.

I agree. Pretty stoked for these.

So I preordered these. Interesting that Hasbropulse says it will ship April 2022 but BBTS says November 2021. I decided to order from each. Be interesting to see who gets it first. Gotta admit I was hoping they'd do a two-pack of each turtle morphed and un-morphed. These are still awesome though.

I really like the head sculpts, I'm just not interested in ranger cosplaying turtles it's stupid and I love Ninja Turtles & Power Rangers, just not for a crossover|||. The bodies look a bit too humanoid.

What I'm more interested in is what the third 2 pack is going to be, we can easily guess the second 2 pack are Mikey and Raph, and Green Ranger Shredder is going to be sold individually. Did April and Casey Jones appear in the comic? I'd love to see good figures out of them which we don't really have (sorry NECA/Super7)

The third set pretty much guarantees a pink Ranger April, but I think the second figure will be Foot Soldier Tommy Oliver opposed to Casey.

I would imagine Pink Ranger body with head swaps same as the current release. But time will tell.

Yeah, definitely appreciate the unmasked heads since I'm not much of a power ranger fan. I love these cross-overs (mostly because of my interest in the aesthetic and artistic interpretation of it) and previously collected the entire Batman v.s. TMNT line from Gamestop (thankfully, I am just as big a turtle fan as batman one!).

I say April and GR Shredder to help sales. if April with anyone but shredder the units will not sell as much.

Green Ranger Shredder is coming alone. April will either be with Tommy Oliver or Casey Jones.

Can't lie, it always surprises me a little bit how many TMNT fans love Power Rangers, considering that MMPR pretty much "killed" TMNT back in the day.

There were multiple reasons I never liked Power Rangers, but selfishly that was one of 'em.

I'm honestly kinda surprised how good these look. I wasn't really expecting much, but these look great! Definitely pre-ordered them.
I'm also glad that they went with the tall, muscular design from the cover-art, rather than the shorter, chunky design in the actual comic. Makes for better looking action figures.
Already looking forward to see Green Ranger Shredder, since he looks so cool on the cover art as well.
I really do hope that they don't just re-use the old Pink Ranger figure for April. Crossing my fingers they'll make a new sculpt. Yeah a guy can dream.

And all this time I thought I was the only one who felt this way! Couldn't have said it any differently myself.

I 100% grew up on TMNT and Power Rangers (Im 37). Maybe they did kill turtles, but as a child you really don’t think of that or understand it.

I’d say PR even had a slightly bigger impact because I was older and I still remember the Zeo intro videos teases after every episode and the reveal of Tommy’s White Ranger like it was yesterday.

Turtles will always be #1, but PR is easily top 2 from my childhood. That’s why I love these.

90s kids see TMNT and Power Ranger as friends, not as one getting rid of the other. I think you only see it that way when you're going in that transitional period of becoming a teenager and the things that you liked "dying". To me it was just another awesome show, loved TMNT and PRs.
