When I initially saw these figures, I was not at all for some reason. Now, after seeing some of the shots people are getting, as well as the scale, really, really considering this line as a must buy, especially since I'm about to weed out most of my figures and focus more on the collector friendly lines.

I got these on preorder but I'm wondering if I need to even do that since these will be widely available over here in the states.


have there been any pictures of the back of the box posted yet?

What has led you to believe they will be "widely available" here? I don't see that being the case. We have some western pre-order options, but given the nature of Japanese collectibles, especially for popular brands, I don't see them being around long after those wrap up. Just look at how things went with the Revoltech turtles, for example.

To be fair, SH is easily purchased on Amazon for popular lines (Star Wars, DBZ, and Marvel)

only think that because they will be at b&n's around me. they are web exclusives for Japan. most of the stuff that I've seen that have been web exclusives for them have lasted a while in my area.

I wonder if these will fit the Classic Turtle Van? I think I am going to like the size. For one maybe they won't look out of scale next my Classics Bebop and Rocksteady.

So, they look to be about the same size as the 2003 turtles. That's great. I'm also wondering how well they'll fit with the Party Wagon from the vintage line. Though, worst-case scenario I'll be getting a hold of a Cowabunga Carl van and customizing the hell out of

it's cool. I missed out on the revoltech at first because nicks design of the turtles hadn't won me over til earlier this year when I decided to give the show a shot while I was bored with everything else I had been watching.

won't be missing out on the reissues or the figuarts!

All the reviews have been extremely positive about those die cast parts. Something tells me that unless you are rough and bang the figures together thst you'll be fine. There's always exceptions and wierd things that can happen but normal use I think should be fine.

Shipping updates:

Leo & Donny @ September maybe week 2
Raph & Mikey @ end of December beginning Jan

***as always shipping estimates from distributors can and do move frequently** So don't get mad at me if/when these dates change (that happened frequently with TLS)

Shredder details: NOT OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED YET (just teased)
They are working on getting approvals to have them imported/distributed (this is common stage for new toys that are imports)

This is probably more information that I am supposed to relay, but there you go.
