So where would be the best, cheapest place to get these in the UK?

Check eBay UK. I saw a handful starting at £50 ish last week. All gone now. Otherwise they're about £60 - £70 best prices.

This guy has two for sale - no boxes £43 delivered ATM:

A huge, huge thank you to Coro and Space Monkey Toys for my SH Figuarts Turtles!



They shipped with the quickness, and Coro was patient and generous even when I unwittingly became something of a pain to deal with. Thanks again, man!

I have barely touched the new figures, but I snapped a hasty cell phone photo in my toy room and hit it with a Prisma filter:



I can't wait to explore them further. The NECA 1/4 figures are better suited to my photo style, so these should present a fun challenge.

Finally ordered mine, from Amazon!
Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Picking up Raph and Mikey after work. Donnie should be another day or two. And ill be ordering Leo in about a week!
I've had to sell quite a bit from my collection to fund these. Hope they're worth it

If you're a fan of the OT and like high quality figures, trust me you won't be disappointed.

Really the only possible disappointment with these is whether they will do the rest of the core characters.

Yup, hopefully we'll hear more about future releases sooner rather than later, or at least find out when Shredder goes on preorder.

That is a fantastic custom and I value your contributions to the hobby.

Also, I hate you, 'cause I assumed at first glance that it was a promo image for something I could buy.

Now that looks cool. Is this a different base than your last two?

Thanks and sorry... I hope Bandai will announce the official one soon. Last time I spoke to them they said they want to continue the line but they don't know who will be next after Shredder.

Different base, I used Marvel Legends: Wasp but I resculpted the face to make her look more like April.

Wait, back up a second - when did this conversation happen? I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure this is the first time Bandai/Tamashii Nations has been quoted as saying they want to continue the line after Shredder.

Please elaborate if there was any more detail in this conversation, and like I say, would be good to know when it took place.

Still however vague this info, they want to continue the line! Awesome news. Thankfully they're not planning to "pull a Playmates" on us and give up before doing at least all the core characters.

I thought they already had voiced that they want to expand the line in one of the interviews Tamashii Nations did before Leo and Don was released?

I believe they said it was dependent on how well the first four figures sold, if they continued, and the Turtles sold well enough to net a Shredder. So hopefully that sells well enough to continue the line.
