From the Ninja Pizza Facebook page
TMNT fan and toy collector Vaughn Michael (@collector.13 on Instagram) contacted Playmates Toys, asking about the future of the Rise of the TMNT toy line. The response he received was surprisingly forthcoming, stating that there will be NO Rise of the TMNT toys in the new year, and that they will instead be focusing on "classic" TMNT. ![]() |

Anyone want to spare my eyesight and tell me why I have never seen any of the villains, with the exception of wave 1?

I am OK with this if they sell more of the classics then just the 4 turtles.
For as many Wave 1 figures I keep coming across they will be available until 2021 anyway. I will be missing one figure or maybe two, but am close to a complete set of Rise figures for what has actually hit store pegs. Was really happy to get the Donnie chase figures (even though everything after Wave 1 feels like a Chase figure) and I was getting pretty tried of hunting everyplace to find new figures to just find more Wave 1 and was really about to give up on the line anyway. |

Rise of the TMNT figures have been elusive as hell other than the first wave. Guess that is that. I'm still hoping to find a bullhop and some of the other villains before the line disappears entirely. But I'm not sad to see it go.

Will be interesting to see what they do with the classics. Maybe they are catching on that collectors are a larger market than the kids these days...? |

The rise line cant do well since they cancell already.i can live with that since i have decided to just collect series 1 from playmate from all shows coming In the future unless they step up.is it just me or does this going back to classic feel like they are going to stop Neca relasing the target toon series and GS 90 movie series.unless its change Neca can not make 87/90/mirage tmnt figures if playmate does or at least sell them In same store AS playmates.this feels like 09 all over again.

Good luck focusing on 'classic' tmnt when NECA is already killing it in that area Playmates. Well, aside from their terrible stock situation. Hard to find a lot of the figures unfortunately.

I believe Playmates meant reissues of the classic 1988 to 1997 TMNT figures.

I don't think 1990 was "the" year for the craze outside of the movie bumping it up. That's what I was trying to figure out why you kept saying "Turtlemania '90" like it was a "thing".

TMNT 2 The Secret of the Ooze was not at the box office for as long as the 1990 movie was and Super Nintendo took top spot on the lists of many children in 1991. 1990 was the year of the teenage mutated turtles that were ninjas. The cartoon had more viewers of all ages, the movie was super important to children, fast food toys were at Burger King, the Coming Out of Shell Tour began later that year, and the action figures were sold out at most stores from April to December of 1990.
