I was just thinking, it's the original cartoons 20th anniversary in two years time and it would be the perfect excuse for playmates to release a special edition run of figures aimed at collectors.

If they were heavily detailed, articulated and to scale with the original line It would be my vision of the ideal toyline.

Wow 20 years huh?, yeah that would be cool, I've seen not half bad custom cartoon accurate figures of characters. It would be cool to see what they would do, but I doubt Playmates could make anything that great, not anymore atleast. Mybe they will make more DVD's of the OT. :P

I doubt they will do any such thing...since when has playmates really done anything for collectors? Except for the Cold Casts that have just come out, and that "5th Anviersay" Leo that really have not done anything for collectors, esp. when compared to other popular toy lines...

I'd like to see something similar. A detailed set of Turtles and maybe even Shredder, Splinter and April would be awesome.

Actually, I wouldn't mind them being packaged as a set, and include a reproduction animation cel. I know cels are pretty common, but still... :)

Yea, that would be great. All I want though, is Show-accurate toys of the current cartoon. I just wish another toy company bought the toy license. So many toys that have to be made.

The 'toon Turtles from the middle of the Old line would fit this bill pretty good, sans the action features. I'd love to see a reissue of those in non-metalic paint with a decent Shredder/April/Splinter.

I'd be all for it, but I don't expect it for a second. If we WERE to get anything like this, it would be New Toon sculpts with painted arm/knee bands. :roll:

I'd like that....a re-dux of the guys, April, Splinter, Krang, Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady and a Foot Soldier, all OT accurate and highly articulated.

Well what I was thinking (not to long ago) was that maquettes would be perfect. To get the old style cartoon without ruining the look with joints or anything statue maquettes would rock. I mean I love action figures just as much if not more than the next guy, but for the old show to be truly immortalized and look totally toon accurate this is the perfect solution.

Have you guys seen the JLA cartoon maquettes? They look JUST LIKE THE SHOW, and are the same size as an action figure. They have a totally neutral arms down legs up straight pose which is a bit boring but is perfect if you want a whole cast in uniformity and perfection.

This would be the best for the old show, I've been dreaming of something like this forever though, even as a kid. I always wanted the turtles to look exactly as they do on the show. Now they can.

Meh.

I'd much prefer comic accurate figures or TMNT based on the art by LeSean from the Dreamwave comic. That was great stuff.

I probably wouldn't buy statues but I'd really like to see a few characters that toys wern't made of like the stone warriors (asides traag) and those police robots. Then they could have all 4 frogs in toon accurate sculpts paint apps.
