First Gokin NT-02 Shredder Figure
At request by Lunar Toy Store (via Facebook) I am making a thread specifically for info and discussion of just the First Gokin Shredder figure.
Original concept preview : First sneak preview of the figure:

Wow. Very cool. Possibly the greatest Shredder figure ever created (not a lot of competition). Like that he comes with a full array of TMNT weapons, in Shredder style. Good work all round. Shame I probably won't be able to afford him though...

Great for some but as krang was, just too stylized for me. I'm not desperate enough for a toon interpreted Shredder. Would like one... But want it accurate. Especially assuming the price will be similiar to krang. Even at a $99 price point (just assuming), it's still too much for an interpretation of the character.
Glad this will satisfy lots of fans though

I'll transfer my comments here from the other thread:
Hmmm... well it's a nice piece visually and in terms of quality. But in terms of filling the toon-Shredder-shaped-hole in my life, it's not exactly what I was hoping for Here are my issues with it: -Body is too muscular and square looking and the arms look too long. -Armor/blade pieces are too large and have overly complex "robotic" detailing. -Helmet/faceplate also looks too "robotic" and tri-points are too strong. -Armor and helmet colors are too blueish, colors should match the blades and tri-points. -Blade shapes are too angular. -Cape part on the chest looks too low and oddly "V" shaped. -Torso patterns/detailing shouldn't be there, too "robotic". -"Loincloth" part hangs too low. -Belt is too complex design entirely and wrong color. -Scale looks slightly too big even for the Classic Collection Turtles. -No interest in the futuristic looking Turtles weapons either. Basically, was hoping for something somewhat closer to this! While I do appreciate what First Gokin are doing (stepping up where Playmates are dropping the ball) and I love the quality of their figures, I think this Shredder is just too far away from the toon version for me to buy it. I know Krang wasn't 100% accurate to the toon version, but for me it was close enough to fit in with the Classic Collection Series 1 Turtles. This isn't. Just like Playmates Bebop and Rocksteady, it's just too stylized and I simply can't recognise it as the character I grew up with. Which is disappointing because I really wanted to like it |

If Shredder is 8 inches tall, I'm out. I can work with 7 inches, but 6.5 inches would have been ideal for a Shredder.
But, if he's gonna tower over the behemoths that is Playmates "Classics" Turtles, which are about 7 inches tall. He probably needs to be 8 inches. And that's such a shame, cause only Mego figures are in the 1:9th scale, which is what the Playmates Classic Figures are in, if there was any regards off scale. Mego figures, and that failed and now long dead ThunderCats Classics are 1:9 (8 inch) scaled figures. |

Photo Update of NT-02!! BEAR IN MIND THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS. Changes are still being made to it. They heard the out cry about too much details on body, we will see what kind of change they will make at the next shot.
Check it out!

Evilcat, do you find that amount of discussion corresponds with sales?

What are the plans for releasing the Bubble Walker edition of "Krang"? I know that there was a blueprint release for it. It's something I'm much more interested in having, personally, over the android. And maybe a little cheaper?

Since Shredder was bumped from NT-03 to NT-02, I'd recon it's safe to assume the Bubble Walker is next in line if Shredder does well.

I assume this has been delayed until next year.

I'm seeing a December release date still but considering December starts tomorrow, I'm not so sure we will receive him in the next 4 weeks.
