Thoughts on Battle Nexus Figures

[cowabunga14]

I'm just wonderin' what other people like and don't like about the Battle Nexus figures. I got Drako,Usagi Yojimbo,and Ultimate Ninja. Drako is good figure and I like the shine on his chest armor. He's painted good but his action feature is silly. All he does is move his neck and his mouth opens. I don't care much for the action feature. Usagi Yojimbo is a pretty unique figure. I like his action feature but you gotta take his swords out for his upper body t move. Usagi's belt is torn on his left side by where his swords go. Is his belt supposed to be like that? I'm worryin' about it comin' off. And last but not least Ultimate Ninja. This figure looks snazzy and his claw weapon reminds me of Wolverine. The only I don't like about the figure is that his right arm doesn't bend. I guess Playmates figured Ultimate Ninja would look more assertive if his arm didn't bend. Is Playmates tryin' to make him look like a praying mantis? I also think that the figure's masks make him look moody.

I really love my UN figurine but I wish the mask was the right color. I am still looking for the Daimyo so I can switch masks with him if they fit. I have Drako and Usagi. I really like them! I need Traximus too!

[marleynaki]

yes i like more ultimate ninja come with his mask in real color....
and always ask me why playmates made a butter fly swords???

I collect MOC so I 'll just say they display very nicely :D

Traximus is the worst figure in the entire TMNT line. Playmates totally ruined him with the stupid "blow apart" action feature. Such a shame cause he is a cool looking figure.

I'm not really collecting much of the new figures, but I would like to get Daimyo, Ultimate Ninja, Usagi and Traximus, plus a Foot Tech too eventually.

Only problem is comic stores here no longer order any TMNT and it seems Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, Zellers, etc, mostly Toys R Us only ever seem to order new TMNT around the holidays. I miss the days way back when, when Toys R Us actually carried toys......

Does Usagi Yojimbo count as a Battle Nexus figure even though the logo card doesn't say "Batttle Nexus" on it? The card that has a picture of the figure on it that goes on the front of the package.

[Kazari]

I would say so since he premiered in the Battle Nexus episodes.

[MasterMole]

Usagi figure should have a "Battle Nexus" card just like the other figures. He premiered on that storty, and is a big part of it, Unlike Butterfly Swords.

I think they rereleased the Usagi line with a Battle Nexus card. I am almost confident I've seen one somewhere like that!

[cowabunga14]

The newer Battle Nexus figures comin' out look pretty rad. I like the way Battle Nexus Shredder looks. Should I get Butterfly Swords? What do you guys think of him? Ninjaturtles.com has all the Toyfair Battle Nexus TMNT pics so be sure to check it out.

I have all the Battle nexus figures now except for Gen and Traximus, as soon as I make those I am going to make a Battle NExus shrine LOL I bought the Daimyo and used the red mask he got to replace it with the UN's mask so now the UN DOES look right.

[LionO]

I hot Dianyo and the Assasin and I'm liking them. Anyone know when Gen is coming out?

[marleynaki]

i ask to playmates and they said come this year
