All the photos you could want:

https://www.facebook.com/Lunartoysto...06941289413546

A link to order is there as well.

As dope as it is, I'm gonna pass. I don't like it enough to justify the price, but it's a great piece. Hopefully there will be a cheaper FW accurate version from Bandai.

Holy crap that looks awesome. Weapons rack is sick too. Looks like you can preorder and they charge your card when it's ready to ship. Can cancel prior to stocking. Hmm I think I'm going to preorder!

More stores have it up now! Toy Dojo just listed it too.

Also, so what is the plan with First Gokin? Will they release Turtles too?

I don't think anyone knows. They've teased a Krang in mechanical walker before that I'd be interested in. Looks like they are approaching this in the exact opposite way as every other company that starts with the 4 turtles and never gets around to the villains. Good approach considering the 4 turtles saturate everything right now.

He looks really nice, but. Damn, 9.5 inches tall. It's a pass then since I don't collect 1/7th scale figures.

It's cool, I guess, but, I don't love it.

His head is soooo tiny, like his mom had Zikka...

Like I posted elsewhere....

The final version turned out pretty good. I didn't mind dropping the $150+ for the Krang but not sure I'm gonna jump on Shredder for $125+. Especially since with Krang the massive height difference can be him starting to grow or shrink from the Molecular Ampification Chip from the first season of TMNT. So he still fits in good with Classic or the upcoming Figuarts Toitles. But Shredder at 9.5" is just a bit tall for my tastes since the cartoon heights weren't that different. I'll hope Figuarts reveals a Shredder at SDCC.

9.5 inches... That's taller then I initially thought.

So here is Classic Leo sizing up with MOTUC He-Man.




And here is MOTUC He-Man next to a Bandai Classics Lion-O. Lion-O is 8 inches tall...

It looks amazing for sure, but too big for me...and I don't like his super-human overall look.
I'll wait the Bandai or the Classic Playmates...

WAYY too big. They haven't changed the size, or anything else by the looks of it. Very disappointing. Especially since First Gokin specifically acknowledged the complaints about the over-detailing on the legs and chest.

But it was the gigantic size that was my biggest worry and since they haven't made any attempt to fix that, I won't be buying. The problem is it won't look correctly scaled with any existing Turtles figures. He's going to look at least twice as tall as any Turtles figure. Here again is my mockup scale pic with a Classic Collection Turtle (and remember the Figuarts Turtles will be even smaller than this):



I know a few people will be quick to jump in and claim the scale is somehow correct, probably by comparing Shredder to Krang, but Krang's height varied so can't provide a precise enough comparison. I challenge anyone to find pictures of Shredder looking this tall next to a Turtle.

A real shame because I really wanted to like this, but it's just too far away in size and design from the Shredder I remember. I'm pinning all my hopes on Figuarts now.

How can you fault this company for not keeping their figures in scale with a completely different company's line of turtle figures? Perhaps Gokin is planning on making their own turtles? Just playing devils advocate.

Articulation looks pretty darn good. I just want to have a big ass shredder to battle my turtles. I prefer him a bit oversized and menacing.

I thought those turtles are not from this company. I thought they are the ThreeZero Kevin Eastman turtles which are 1/6 scale?

EDIT: nevermind, I am mistaken.
