New TMNT figure pictures and reviews

[tmntman]

I posted reviews of the two new series of TMNT figures on my site along with plenty of photos.

You can see the Robo Hunters review here.

I was going to include a photo of them in front of the Fire Station play set but ran out of room. Plus the Battle Shell wouldn't fit through the door.

You guys joke, but I'm totally serious when I say that these two sets of turtle variants are the first ones that I've actually wanted to buy in a long time.

It's good to hear they're fixing the sculpts even if it's just a little. When you had that comparison shot it really shows how much the body changes with just a little more leg improvement.

Great site, and love the reviews/pics but I think you're a little hard on the figure. (that didn't sound right)

They may not be perfect (I think we all have images of perfect tmnt figures in our minds) but they're not 4/10 worthy, especially since they're fixing things. The new Batman Begins figures are like 4/10 these are more like 6/10-7/10 Though I guess it all comes down to opinion. Any TMNT figure gotten a perfect score yet?

Yeah, a little change makes a big difference. But Playmates still is designing the figures with the hips designed at a very strange angle. It is quite frustrating since they could be using the same type of joint with much better results with just a very minor change.

You may be right about being hard on them. But when I started to write these reviews I wanted to make sure I was being honest about what I was reviewing. I didn't want to be the type of person who never gave a low score. But with the Turtle variants in particular I'm even tougher. I figure that a big part of why you buy these figures isn't for the figure per say. After all, you can see in the one photo that I certainly have enough figures of any one of the turtles already. So I tend to weight the score on the accessories quite heavy and with the exception of Monster Trappers Donatello, they aren't that great.

Yea, nic epictures. The little ghosts that come with the Turtles do seem similiar to the ones the early 90's ghosts that Ghostbusters came with...
