What are the release dates for more figures?

[Toonami Tom]

I was wondering if anyone knew the release dates for more figures?

I'm thinking it will be something like this (this is my guess, not the real release dates):

Late March/Mid April:
1. Cyborg Turtles
2. Gen

Late April/Early May
1. Monster Hunter Turtles
2. Turtles with Mechs
3. General Blanqe
4. Feudal Japan Shredder
5. Yoshi
6. Karai in her own Shredder suit

Late May/Early June
1. Mystic Turtles
2. New "non-turtle" characters not shown at ToyFair

I have an upcoming figures list in the Complete Toy Checklist topic (last post, third page):

=====Upcoming Turtle Variations=====
[ ] Robo Huntin' Turtles (Apr 2005)
[ ] Monster Trappers (Spring - Summer 2005)
[ ] Combat Warriors (Summer - Fall 2005)
[ ] Dino Seekers (2006)

=====Upcoming Secondary Figures=====
[ ] Gen (Dec 2004 - Jan 2005)
[ ] General Blanque (Unknown)
[ ] Hamato Yoshi (Unknown)
[ ] Feudal Japan Shredder (Unknown)

I only have the figures that have been given release dates by the official site, anything else would just be speculation. Gen's date is obviously wrong but I left it in there in the hope that he'll be out soon :(

[Kazari]

GAH I want the Combat warrior turtles sooner! *cries*

[marleynaki]

No word on a release date as of yet.

I don't care, I want the HUGE Leo with the skateboard! I bought the Thrashin Crashin Mikey and he's displayed on my CD player (along with my other TMNT memorbilia)! I cannot wait for Leo... then Raph.... Then Don! I WANT THEM ALL!!! The articulation of these figures are unsurpased for their structure. (Meaning, don't start with the talk about the 67 pt figure of Spider-Man)

[Zachatello00]

speaking of huge turtles, what ever became of the Ultimate Turtles, ya know, the 30 inch ones? Did that project get dropped? I was looking forward to that Leo.

[Kid Icarus]

I'm thinking they were just too expensive to make... Would you have seriously dropped $100+ for a 30 inch TMNT figure? More importantly, would parents have paid that much....

Nope. At least not any parents I know. Heck, it's hard enough to get parents to give me $15 so their kids can play in my Pokemon tournaments. I can't imagine trying to get $100 from them.

[Zachatello00]

I know 100 is up there, but I probably would have at least bought Leo. Maybe take 10 bucks from each pay check for ten weeks or something.

Man I missed seeing all the girls always changing in your avatar and sig, but I still can't get used to her as Sue Storm.

As for everyone's speculations on release dates I'd say they're accurate. Gen should be out soon, but for some reason I smell a scrapping. I think Playmates knows better though since the fans of The Usagi book will be storming their HQs. But I still want Quarry and the rest of the Mystics!

My big worry is the fact they are putting everything behind these variants when they are clogging up my shelves. These Ninja Knights seem to be a bad idea, they aren't moving at all. And I thought that would've been the Deep Divin' Turtles. And what's with them rereleasing variants out If anything they should just do that with the regular characters since mostly only kids buy the variants.

I figured the Ultimate TMNT were scrapped though, I couldn't even imagine trying to collect them all. I can't even get the statues.

My main thing is I want to see more characters. Even though my shelf is full I want to have to get another one for more than a foot army. Now that the Battle Nexus figures are pretty much done (even though I'd still love to get a few more fighters like "ringboy", And both fighters who ended up in the Triceraton Rebellion), they should rush Yoshi, Feudal Shredder, Blanque and Karai to get them all in one shot so they can work on other characters like Bishop, The High Mage, Zanramon (I see little hope now though), Touch and Go, Tsunami, Chrysalis (I know minor characters but cool looking and new), Metalhead (Ananda and huge Domebot would be a great sequel to Leo and T-Rex, but I doubt we'll see it), Zog, Renet and just so variants aren't wasted: Utrom Shredder, BaxterBot with Holographic Head, Splinter Mech, Jungle Girl April, Toddler Casey (though I would wait until there is a Toddler April episode and make a two pack with good accessories), Mayor April, Sliver and all the Super Hero Turtles even an Ultimate Drako. I just hope they do the Superhero characters to a T though, without their own interpretations. PL should at least step in on that since he seems to really like the variation (as do I).

I know that was mostly a fanboy list, but I did give my insight somewhere in there about the release dates. Sorry so long guys but I've been gone for a bit and haven't talked TMNT in awhile.

[TheShowstoppa]

I'm pretty sure the "shelf life" for the average figure (any) is 20 weeks, maybe 15. You had better start saving now and hope you have enough by then ;) I would have dropped $100 for each of the effers! Though... that's just me...

But... all in all, does anyone know the release date for that Leo?

[Zachatello00]

Man I missed seeing all the girls always changing in your avatar and sig, but I still can't get used to her as Sue Storm.

Heh heh, you know me. Which reminds me, amen to the Jungle girl April idea. I wonder if I could custom that...

[PenguinCleese]

Show, which Leo were you meaning the Ultimate one or the Skateboardin'. For the Ult. one we are figuring it scratched.

Zach you should know by now from some of the customs we've seen and done that anything can be customized with the right pieces, the only thing is I doubt that one April figure though would help much in that area. We need a variant of her (with a new face sculpt) at least for customizations, I'd love a Jungle April but a new Casey, Splinter and April are way overdue. They need to bring in that make your own figure type thing with pieces of all types and many heads.

As I was watching Reality Check today again I thought again about the figures of the Super Turtles and thought that the Toybiz idea of packing in the bigger figures would be a great idea for Griddex, I know it would never happen, but still a cool thought. I'd like a more articulated 12 inch TMNT, it'd make a sweet custom. Actually I think I may work on that. I was going to work on the wrestling TMNT outfits (from Archie) when I got time, maybe I'll try both.

That SWAT Attack Pack looks pretty rad. Anyone know those other vechicles are comin' out?

[TheShowstoppa]

I'm talking about the skateboarding Leo. That will be my favorite toy when I get it!

[cowabunga14]

Is that one remote-controlled?

[PenguinCleese]

No clue on the date for the Skateboardin' Leo but he does look cool. I'll probably wait until summer though until I pick up a Mike at a yard sale. Kids are so fickle nowadays.

That Swat Pack is pretty cool Marley, could you get a close up of the Mech's head (if that is your pic)? It looks like a Tech's head on a Gunner's body. How much are they going for though, I'll need an army you know.
