Sadly better than anything they've done for TMNT in years...

On the plus, I really like that bridge playset and it's in the scale I work with.

[OA]

I thought this was going to be about PM re-issuing the TMNT as Star Trek again...

I thought the exact same thing.

Those figures were awesome.

I agree they are better than most recent TMNT offerings...but that really isn't saying much.

[StealthNinjaScyther]

Eh, you can sort of tell who's supposed to be who. Maybe if the 3.75" lines (they have Terminator as well) are successful we'll see some 3.75" turtles.

[Jester]

Am I alone in not caring for the 3.75 scale? Maybe it's because most if not all of my figures are 6 inchers.

[Sarah]

Well now that Ive seen these I must admit that they're better looking than I was expecting them to be. and they're alot better than the Terminator figs that are being released. anyway, i'll probably buy the main crew but I don't think that i'll buy the rest of the line. by the way, the Barbie and Ken dolls just seem creepy. those things scare me. :lol:

You're not alone Jester it's been years since I've bought a small figure, they just don't do anything for me.

I have a couple DS9 figs from the 90's that are in the 3.75 in scale... but the rest of my trek figs are 12 inchers (except for a 6 in Zephram Cochrane).

[Jester]

They made DS9 3.75's...I had a friend who had Com. Ricker (sans goatee) that was about 3.75 and had a phaser sculpted into his hand and I think 7 POA.

The Riker that you speak of was made by Galoob. and Playmates didn't ever make any 3.75 inch DS9 figs, most of their Trek figs were 4.5 or 6 inches. but Applause made DS9 PVCs that were 3.75 inches.

[Jester]

Thanks Sarah.

[Coola Yagami]

Big ****in deal. Where's my Cyber Shredder and Khan figure. Dammit, they released the wrong KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!

[Jester]

You've been waiting a long time to use that one, weren't ya.

[Blade Raider]

Wish I thought of that one:lol:

[Wes]

Are you guys kidding about these looking better than the more recent Playmates TMNT figs? I agree that Playmates has been slipping with the movie Turtles, but these things look bloody awful. And unless those hips have some kind of lateral movement, that articulation is unacceptable.

That said, I may end up buying the 6" female figure... if only so I can pretend I have a 6" Martha Jones. :)

The 6" and 12" look like crap, but the 3 3/4" look almost as good as Star Wars figures. Heck, if they had ball jointed necks, they'd have the exact same articulation. I use to think the same about T-hips, but that really aren't that bad if done right...which the 6" failed and 3 3/4" did decently from the looks of it. As for sculpting, I think all 3 scales have more details than about half TMNT figures of recent years. That combined with good articulation, I say these are better toys. Really, if I didn't know better I would have thought the 3 3/4" line was Hasbro's work at first glance.

That said, I may end up buying the 6" female figure... if only so I can pretend I have a 6" Martha Jones. :)
Uhhh...why not just buy a Martha Jones figure? Isn't the Doctor Who line in 5"-6" scale?

PS It's hard to talk about a line with this many scales at once :P

P.P.S. I just remembered the man who played Khan died recently...and still haven't seen that movie...

[Jester]

You really ought to, Wrath of Khan and the other Nick Myer's Star Trek Movie, VI: The Undiscover Country, are the 2 best original Trek movies.

I'm a sucker for GI Joe sized figures lol

[Blade Raider]

I've only seen IV (Which is a great movie) and the TNG movies. I've never a fan of the original Star Trek. Yeah, it was original, but I find that rarly is the original fiction as good as what it has become. That, and Kirk gets on my nerves after a while. Anyways, this new movie is the first thing to interest me in awhile. Only thing I didn't like about the first trailer was the inside of the Enterpise (Spefically the walls. The white of the walls are too bright).

Simply put, Picard is the superior captain :P

...I'm asking for it, ain't I?:lol:

As am I. While I don't think I'll get any of the figures, I'm liking the bridge playset. It looks to be easy to store and I think I can remove parts without worry of damaging it (which is good for making my own base). I might get an old Spock to go with my other famous actors in that scale (Like Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, ec.)

[Slash]

You're not alone Jester it's been years since I've bought a small figure, they just don't do anything for me.

Vaughn likes a 8" one. Hence why he is loving the NECA sized scale.

Personally, I can only handle the 2k5 sizes. :lol:

[Jester]

...I'm asking for it, ain't I?:lol:

Actually I prefer Janeway. :P I've never been a huge fan of Kirk...to arrogant...maybe that's just Shatner.

[GK Punk]

...Janeway?!?

[Blade Raider]

Better than Archer and many times Kirk. Couldn't tell you a thing about Sisko in comparison though.

[Roseangelo]

Janeway wasn't horrible, but Picard rules them all.

My favorite original cast movie is easily 4. The bugs in the ears thing in 2 has forever scarred me. 6 was pretty good and had the kind of send off that the Next Generation crew should have had (I'm still bitter about that, as TNG is by far my favorite Trek).

[Weapon X]

I'm a sucker for GI Joe sized figures lol

So am I, Joe's in particular. It's the only line I keep up with(the 25th).

[Wes]

I dunno -- I don't think there's any way to do T-hips "right." You can get some okay dynamic poses out of them if combined with hinged knees and ankles (or really good bases), but without those they're pretty useless for posing. Honestly, I'd rather have V-hips with a thigh swivel (like the Dragon Ball Z figures) -- that combination is easily more versatile than T-hips.

As for sculpting, I think all 3 scales have more details than about half TMNT figures of recent years. That combined with good articulation, I say these are better toys.
They do have more sculpted details, but the ones that count -- namely on the faces -- look like crap! (Well, except for the girl and Sulu. They look pretty decent.) TMNT figures don't need a ton of sculpted detail, though, since they're based on cartoon/CGI characters. And, while their articulation was lacking too, the bulk of TMNT figures (at least where the Turtles themselves are concerned) have had superior jointage compared to these things. :)

Uhhh...why not just buy a Martha Jones figure? Isn't the Doctor Who line in 5"-6" scale?
I do have a Martha, but the Doctor Who figures are in a 5" scale... so if I wanted to have Martha infiltrate the Legion of Doom (or something), she'd have to do so as Shrinking Martha. Granted, it's just as easy to pretend that she's an inch taller as it is to pretend that that ST figure is Martha, but still. ;)

You're a dirty perv.:o

[Candy Kappa]

for a moment I thought it was the trekkie turtles XD

[Hero]

I asked a friend of mine who attended yesterdays UK Toy Fair in London to keep an eye out for any new TMNT offerings. He reported The Playmates/Vivid table was all Star Trek.

Just a snippet.
