Sure would be an interesting addition to a TMNT collection as someone who doesn't really collect or care about power rangers. but, the turtles and shredder look really cool in this universe.

The Green Ranger Shredder will be the most sought-after figure of the set. I’m thinking that the Casey Jones and April 2-pack will be the peg warmers.

Exaaaaaaactly.

Come to think of it. These look like a classic vintage turtle size figure. If they have that elbow articulation and maybe some knee, ankle, shoulder and barbels galore, it might be a test run for TMNT "Origins style". Ooooo-lala. Like how Mattel did the Masters of the WWE universe before Origins. A litttttle sneaky test.

I'll take any version of the turtles from this series, as just ninja turtles or ranger turtles. Could care less in copping any of the rangers. Dnt collect them

Because back in the day the US has to try and use Japanese footage so no matter what the US filmed characters looked like, they morphed into the same shape cause that’s the footage they had to work with.

On April 9th, Hasbro is having an online fan fest on their youtube channel that will feature new product reveals for all their lines, including power rangers. It is possible that we may get more info (or if we’re lucky, a first look) about this crossover set then.

The Japanese versions did the same thing, though. The Mighty Morphin' White Ranger was just a little kid in the Japanese version.

So it actually doesn't matter if it's the Japanese continuity or the American continuity, in both it's canon that morphing changes your body to look a specific way.

Oh, ya, and let's not forget Doggie Kruger. He's an anthro dog, but when he morphs, his physical form changes. Otherwise, his helmet would account for his snout. You can't even blame this on the footage, either, because they didn't use any Japanese footage for his anthro dog form.

I called this back when they made the batman vs TMNT toys, saw an ad for power rangers TMNT and was like "Crap, if Hasbro does as good as DCC on the tmnt figs that'll be another set I need to pick up"

im not even much of a power rangers fan but the thought of having ranger turtle toys is interesting, curious if theyll do regular turtles as well or just the ranger suits

I imagine this one will probably sell substantially better than the batman ones, everyone who collects power rangers with any interest in turtles can have a nice transition effect on display with these in between, as well as power ranger completists that have to have all ranger forms. Then on top of that they're going to be interesting attention pieces in their own right as well. Batman though I really liked the figures were still just plain turtles that dont really have any hint of what they are if you're uninitiated

Casey Jones has not been confirmed, right? So far just speculation, wishes, and best guesses?

We can safely assume 5 of the six slots are the 4 turtles (probably in the ranger outfits, hopefully with unhelmeted alt heads) and pink ranger April. The sixth slot could easily be foot soldier Tommy or a horribly under scaled Turtle mechazord?

Green ranger shredder is his own separate single figure.

The sixth slot being filled by Casey Jones is only a rumor.

But Pink Ranger April is just pink ranger, so it's just going to be a re-issue of the pinnk ranger without Kimberly's face? Doubt it since Pink ranger is getting rereleased soon already in "comic" colors, unless that's the one that's featured in the wave. They definitely won't include unmorphed turtle heads or an April head either, Hasbro has been getting a bit cheap on alternate heads for non "tv show" characters.

It's all rumor at this point.

Retail listings have the three two-packs at $49.99 a piece. Assuming Shredder's going to $22 to $26 judging by previous LC figures, but the licensing could up it a little bit.
