This stuff is so cool! Wasn't Bitroid not shown this year? Was he scraped?

*miru* · 08-15-2014, 10:39 PM

The 2007 line was going to have a great many original characters such as Metal Klawz, this fire dude, and others, but they never materialized.

Also, Power Mouse from the original line:

I think he was shown at Toy Fair in February but not SDCC.

Are all the pics in the second post from last night showing?

I just noticed a member named TheAmazingFlow had posted Krang's Gross Dimension X Body prior to my update last night, so my apologies for reposting him here in my thread.

Mondo, Cryin' Hound, Scalien, and Grasshopper are not showing up.

The Crusher

My guess is the 2K3 Foot logo is on there because that vehicle design has been floating around Playmates for a while. I really, really want it to get made, though. It would be the closest thing to the above ground Foot vehicles from the first NES game!

Scalien seems rather similar in design to Fishface. I wonder if the former were any influence on the latter?

Yeah, kind of a mix of Fishface and Scale Tail.

I remember I have seen Rock'n'Roll Mondo Gecko on the back of the package from one of the bootleg Turtle toys (Ninja Action bootleg Donatello). I thought he was released.

Nocturno and Rob - interesting idea. Wish they would have appeared in the old series.

No, even though his origin story had him as the front-man for a metal band pre-mutation wholly justifying this mold, we ended up with the 'hippy' version pictured below instead...

I would kill for those ALIENS inspired turtle figures. Damn, what could have been.

Darthknuxward · 08-23-2014, 11:29 PM

Any other unreleased figures? I know Armaggon started off as a figure concept that got rejected.

That's my Scale Tail! Stupid Topless Robot site stealing my pic and not giving me credit! http://toyriffic.blogspot.com/search/label/Scale%20Tail

And re: those Alien inspired TMNT - that happened in the first RPG book, there was a couple pages of a comic included wherein the turtles were heading to a halloween party. I think it was Mikey who was dressed like an Alien (and I think Leo was dressed as a Grandma, I need to dig it out and check it out again.)

If a robot doesn't have the decency to wear a bra what makes you think they would credit your pic? Lol.

Can't argue with that logic

Zarana-X · 08-25-2014, 01:30 PM

That Dragster looks alot like the Dodge Tomahawk concept vehicle with treads added.

I've recently made an article on the unmade toys on Lost Media Wiki.
