Playmates will be releasing a slew of new Turtle products based on the hot new Nickelodeon animated series coming out by late January early February 2013.

First up we have a new wave of basic figures to show you including two new additions to the villain ranks.

·Baxter Stockman

· Snakeweed

· 4 new Mutagen Ooze Turtles (these figures have canister packs that you can fill with Ooze (sold separately) and then launch the Ooze from catapult arms on their packs)

Check out the images for these below in our GALLERY.

ALSO... for those of you interested in Playmates new line of Classic figures, though we don't have any figures specifically to announce we are told that plans for a second wave are being looked at and that we should hopefully have something to show you all in February during the New York Toy Fair. So STAY TUNED!

Playmates will be releasing a slew of new Turtle products based on the hot new Nickelodeon animated series coming out by early late January early February 2013.

Finally we have to show you a new role-play item, the Turtle-Comm.

As seen in the new TV show, the Interactive Turtle-Comm will let kids call or be called and talk to the Turtles! Each Turtle will have a unique play pattern; Leo takes kids on missions, Raph trains, Don asks Trivia and Mike tells jokes. Includes over 90 seconds of speech and sfx!

[Donatello19]

Ooze Turtles- I'll skip these...not a big fan of Turtle variants.

Baxter Stockman- Looks great, i'll be getting him. He better come with a mouser or two!

Snakeweed- Instant purchase

Launcher Turtles- Pretty cool, but again, not big on turtle variants. I will buy the Mikey one because it reminds me of the old pizza tossers from back in the day ;)

Pizza Play set- OMG! Another play set?! And it folds up to save space?! Instant Purchase

Turtle Copter- Looks cool, but i dunno... I have the copter from 2k3 and this is likely the same mold.

Water Ski- Fishface better be able to fit on that. Instant Purchase

T-Phone- It's cool to see they're still making those.

Ooze- I've never been into buying the ooze, but those baby turtle figures may change my mind.

All in all I love this line and I can't wait to get my hands on some of these new figures. It does suck that playmates' turtle variants are no where near as nice as their basic turtles. Oh well. Snakeweed looks the best IMO.

[CyberCubed]

So the first wave of Turtle Variants have come and Playmates is back to their old ways.

Who wants to be Sports themed Turtles are next?

[Donatello19]

Even if they're not next, we all know they're coming :tlol:

[MST3KFan]

Baxter and Snakeweed for sure are buys...though I worry they're going to sadly be small scaled compared to what they should be.

The TMNT Ghostbusters looking figures...I dunno. They're silly, but I'm kinda liking them. They at least have more show accurate heads and looks like the turtle toys' toes are more show accurate in other things.

That pizza box playset thing...looks like it could be cool if there is a platform to seperate the upper area with the pizza shop from the subway underneath to stand on. It actually makes me think it almost could be an add-on to the sewer playset.

As far as the vehicles. That helicopter thing looks a bit too silly... The jetski looks cool though. Definitely reminds of classic TMNT vehicles.

And the ooze... I LOVE that container. It looks so awesome AND it comes with a little baby turtle like the vontage ooze!? Heck, yeah. I was kinda bummed out that ooze on the show was a kind of turquoise or teal color rather than classic toon pink or vintage toy green, but it's grown on me.

[CyberCubed]

I am hoping they make figures for some of the characters they skipped over like Spiderbitez and maybe human forms of Chris Bradford and Xever.

[Raph]

Baxter and Snakeweed are definitly cool and cartoon accurate figures which I will ad to the current figures. Not gonna go with any variants (never did that!)
I do want an Ooze cannister since it also looks very cartoon accurate! NICE STUFF

[plasticturtle]

Snakeweed looks like those little tentacle things on him would be really fragile.

[Donatello19]

Snakeweed looks like those little tentacle things on him would be really fragile.

I was thinking that too. Hopefully they are made of rubber so they won't snap off.

[tipet]

I want to see the final paint job before take a decision.

[tmntman]

Turtle Copter- Looks cool, but i dunno... I have the copter from 2k3 and this is likely the same mold.


It looks much smaller than the Turtle Copter. I thought it was a reuse of the Pogo Copter, but the details are different.

[Jester]

The Flinger Figures remind me of the Fast Forward Toys that had the same feature. Good to see Playmates will always go back to the well....makes Mutatin' figures almost a certainty.

[oldmanwinters]

Turtle variants!

And so it begins...
:tconfuse:

[Agent 86]

Very interesting. Thanks to everyone for posting all the news and photos in one place.

The news that Playmates are investigating a second series of Classics figures is most excellent!

I'm not a fan of the Ghostbuster Turtles. While I'm generally not a fan of any turtle variants which aren't screen-accurate, I still have to wonder whether they could have chosen variants which fitted the new TV series a little better. Maybe "Black Ops" turtles. Or some kind of "armoured/robot" variant for fighting the Kraang. Or even the classic "trenchcoat/disguise" variants.

What I was really hoping for was some "deluxe" variants with all the original painted details from the proto-types and possibly new head-sculpts with painted eyes, etc.

Stinkweed and Baxter both look good. At least at proto-type stage. Baxter doesn't have too many paint apps, so he shouldn't change too much, although he may be out of scale. I'm guessing that Stinkweed will be out of scale, have a very dull final paint app and possibly be very fragile.

The other variants and vehicles don't interest me, but that POP UP PLAYSET! Now that is totally tubular! I think that's my only "must have" from the new products, but it really is a fantastic concept. A playset that can be easily stored, but is great for display and play.

[The Fifth Turtle]

Turtle ooze........fantastic. This is a must buy for me.

[Eiko]

Looks good just hope we see these in Australia.

[Jester]

Turtle variants!

And so it begins...
:tconfuse:
I'm prone to agree, sir. I wonder how frequently we're gonna see these new head sculpts on other (slightly) modified "variant" bodies

[Drose18]

Theres NO WAY im buying another pogo copter but the turtle ski looks awesome! I want the new playset if its less than thirty dollars and snakeweed is a maybe and Baxter is a definite yes!

[TurtleTitan97]

These new toys look pretty cool.:tsmile:

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

Looks good just hope we see these in Australia.

You got better ooze than we did last time around :tlol:

That one set of variants looks like Pizza Tossin' Meets Fightin' Gear, did anyone else catch that?

[Jester]

And with a little >> Triple Strike thrown in for good measure.

[Donatello19]

The Turtle variants look REALLY bad this time around IMO. Maybe it's jut that the basic ones were much better, but these just look so babyish and ugly. Are they even sticking to their "Every turtle is different" rule? They all look the same. I wonder if they have all of their original articulation...(doubt it).

[zaktheneutrino]

I actually like the way the ooze turtles look and will probably pick them up. I love the Baxter Stockman and will buy Snakeweed too! I wish there were more villains though...I guess there aren't many characters that they could make from the episodes we have seen so far? Maybe when more news comes out there will be a couple more figures. I really hope the Classic line has a second series too! I honestly don't know why they wouldn't. Clearly they are making money off of them with how hard they are to find.

[DF619]

I kind of like the Mutagen Ooze Turtles just due to their designs sorta reminding me of the Ghostbusters, but I've got a hard time picturing myself really going out of my way to buy them.

Snakeweed and Baxter Stockman are definite buys, though.

Unsure of the vehicles, though they do look pretty cool. As long as they're not overpriced (was able to get the Rippin' Rider and Skateboard for $9.99/ea) then I'll definitely consider them.

[Darkravager]

I like the fact that the new turtles have new heads and the feet are corrected. I'm sure that in time we'll see "normal" updated versions with the new heads and feet.

Why do people get so annoyed at the variants? This has been the TMNT model from day 1. Would you rather they rerelease the same 4 turtles all the time with a new figure thrown in occasionally? We're talking about a show with a kind of limited cast, and if it were the same toys on the pegs for the life of the line, people would stop looking all together. I'm all for variants that are fun and attract attention.

Depending on the price, I'm going to get that play set for sure since I didn't get the sewer.

[LincolnHawk]

So the first wave of Turtle Variants have come and Playmates is back to their old ways.

Who wants to be Sports themed Turtles are next?

[Jester]

My problem with the variants NOW is they are boring. Back in the day, Playmates gave us some stellar, off the wall, variants that were new sculpts and looked fantastic. Now Playmates Turtle variants are dull as dishwater, with the same head sculpts and some additional sculpted details added to the existing sculpts.

[Bauer536]

Oh my gosh! I . . . I . . . I have no words. Well, I might as well get down to it. I might be better off using spoiler tags, for a few of them, but there are ones that I think are cool to look at.

http://imageshack.us/a/img19/4118/90500basicmutagenooze01.jpg
I am with everyone on here. I'm not going to get any turtle variants unless it is appealing and awesome. These I'm passing on. When I see Leo, I think "Ghostbuster," so it's not a bad toy, especially for kids. But Raph as Popeye and Don as a firefighter? What is this? Rescue Heroes? Plus, these ones don't look as poseable as the first basic figures. The only thing I like about these is their heads. If there were any way I could pop these off and apply them to the bodies of the first basic figures, then we'll get 2k12 turtles. Still, I'm happy with the figures we got last time. I don't need these ones. It would be a waste of money to get these ones just to swap heads anyway. Sorry. Maybe Playmates should make the turtles from the series WITH pupils. I like the Power FX turtles, but I want ones that don't constantly talk and ones that actually pose well. So Playmates, if you happen to visit this place, listen to us. We want basic turtles that look like the ones from the show. We want them to have eye balls, head sculpts that resemble their faces on the show, and also give them their real pawed feet. Give us that, please!:tcry:

http://imageshack.us/a/img5/680/90516basicsnakeweed1013.jpg

The best figures of the series! I am totally buying these! Baxter looks amazing, and I can definitely see the detail in the T-pod. Also, Snakeweed is awesome. It may not be with the scale or size he had on the show, but I'm still happy we're getting him.:tgrin:

3687

Yeahhhh. I'm avoiding these ones. Leo and Mikey look promising, but I'm not a fan of the Raph and Donnie. Plus, I don't think the armor around the ankles are necessary, especially if the turtles are wearing bandages.

Now THIS is a playset!:tgrin: I love this! This may look like the least expensive of turtle playsets, and it may not be only at Toys R Us this time. Totally purchasing this one. Just to think pop-up playsets were for only Matchbox cars, Playmates has proven us wrong. This looks like fun.

Ooze Drop Copter
http://imageshack.us/a/img844/3886/94054vehicleoozedropcop.jpg

This looks interesting. However, I wish it was actually a helicopter to fit all turtles in. I don't know about this one. I have mixed feelings. While Leo looks cool inside, it does appear to look like that copter from the mini turtle figures that were released after the 2k7 movie. However, I wouldn't mind dumping things on villains. It's worth a shot. Plus, the Ooze Cruiser looks cool. I love the water piece on the bottom. I'm guessing you can rev this vehicle up, am I right? That one I'll be getting.

Mutant Ooze Refills
http://imageshack.us/a/img401/2078/93011mutagenoozerefills.jpg

I usually don't buy ooze, but I like this. The baby turtles look cute, too. Maybe I can use the ooze to interrogate anyone of my choosing (just like Raphael did).

Turtle Comm (T-Phone?)
http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/8983/92091turtlecomm1013462s.jpg

Now this looks great! I know it's for kids, but somehow, the kid in me wants to pretend he's talking to the turtles. Definitely a worthy purchase.


While most of these toys look great, I hope this doesn't hurt their sales. However, it's TMNT. All the toys are like this in the long run.

[Ninjinister]

The look on Stockman's face cracks me up.

[Nick Kell]

I love the updated head sculpts. They look just like the show now.

It sure would be cool to see basic turtle figures that are accurate to the their designs on the show. Though I don't really mind that they don't have pupils since I like how their eyes become white in the show. I agree that Stockman and Snakeweed do look pretty neat.:tsmile:

I love the updated head sculpts. They look just like the show now.

Same here. :)

[METALHEAD]

i love everything. i even like the ooze turtles. i'd be disapointed if they didnt have articulation like the first turtles.

i'm also curious of their toon heads are swappible with the first wave turtles.

honestly, i really wish playmates would make toon accurate turtles. ah if only.

but i want one theme. UNIVERSAL MONSTER & STAR TREK TURTLES! MAKE THEM PLAYMATES, MAKE THEM. THEY WILL PLEASE ME.:tcool:

LOVE THE Ooze Cruiser!

[NinjaMan]

Where's Leatherhead?? I thought he was part of this wave? I'll be getting the T-phone for me and my 3 year old. Also getting Baxter, Snakeweed, and the Ooze set. Man between these and the lego sets I may have stop collecting Transformers.

[Shogi]

Digging Baxter, The pop up playset is definitely a must have and I NEED that Ooze cannister! :)

[Powder]

I want the villains & the ooze. The first set of variants are cool, the heads are anyway, but I'll pass. & would it kill them to paint the inside of Mikey's mouth? Way to cut corners once again, playmates.

[Ravenxl7]

I'm really liking what I'm seeing here. Though I can't say that I'll actually get more than a couple of things.

The Ghostbuster Turtles look nice. I definitely appreciate them looking a bit more show-accurate...in some ways that is. I can deal with the limited articulation, but I'm not sure I like the look of these figures to get all four of them. I might just get one of them, and that will probably be Raph. I'm hoping we get some Space Hunters themed Turtle figures, as that would be a set of four I would want to get.

Baxter and Snakeweed don't look too bad. If I get either one of these two, it'll be Baxter. His stage 2 armor turned out rather nice in figure form. I imagine due to his size he won't have any accessories, so here's to hoping for a Mouser multi-pack. Snakeweed turned out much better than I thought he would. Though I wouldn't be surprised if most of that paint was absent from the production figure. Either way I'm not nearly interested enough in the character to buy the figure.

The "flingers" figures are interesting. Very reminiscent of some of the figures Playmates did back in the day. Definitely not something I would get for myself, but they might be worth getting for my nephew. He would have fun with the gimmick.

I like the overall look of the Ooze Cruiser and Ooze Drop Copter. The general thrown together from stuff found int he sewers look is really nice, and definitely reminds me of the old Turtle vehicles. I imagine these will be the same price-point as the motorcycle and skateboard from wave one. I might actually get the Ooze Cruiser. My Raph figure could use a cool ride, and I rather like how it's got a red cooler on the back of it. Makes it look like he's off for a day on the beach, lol.

The pizza box playset will definitely be tempting. If it's not too pricey I'll probably get it. Would be nice to have a backdrop of some sort for my Nick figures. I can't imagine this thing will be much more then twenty bucks.

It's nice to see that we'll be getting a role-play version of the "T-phone". I actually like the turtle comm name better. The gimmicks sound like they'll be nice, so I might actually get a second for my nephew. It'll be interesting to have this displayed next to my original shell cell.

The canister of ooze is a really nice touch to this line. I'm most definitely getting me one. The baby Turtles are a nice touch, though I might just end-up giving them to my nephew. I appreciate that the canister is show-accurate, and that the ooze is as show-accurate as I imagine they could get it to be. I might even get more than one of these things, depending on the size of them and their price. I'll definitely have one that I keep unopened, so I might get one so I can open it up and...actually play with the ooze. I might even get a couple extra to keep till my nephew is old enough.

Playmates, you're doing good, please keep it up. You'll most certainly be seeing a good amount of my cash headed your way in the future. Now, how about some more Classic Collection figures?

[Chris]

Baxter and Snakeweed are the must buys for me.

I love the show accurate heads for the guys but I don't collect variants unless they really appeal to me so I'll be giving them a miss. If (hopefully when) they do a set of show accurate TMNT I'll be all over them.

Loving that pop up playset. The sewer lair is a bit too big for me, so will be seriously looking at picking that up.

[Roseangelo]

Earlier today I looked at these on my phone, saw they were all stupid variants, and rolled my eyes. Now that I've looked at them on my computer, I'm just pissed off. I think the new head sculpts are adorable and if they just made new basic Turtles that looked like that without the stupid outfits, I would totally buy them. But I am so over this crap. I think the only thing here I might possibly buy is the ooze with the baby turtles.

[Jester]

Not being able to really afford any of it, kinda takes the sting away. :P

[mysterycolor]

ooze, baxter and snakeweed are definite purchases for me ♥ the others are ok... but i will be very selective with what variants i buy this time around :)

[Candy Kappa]

The new sculpts looks good, sadly I have little space for variants, but I'd love too see a more screen accurate look basic figures with those heads from the ooze tossers. Baxter looks ncie and Snakeweed, gotta get Snakeweed.

That Ooze canister is wicked, love the color and the baby turtles.


That one set of variants looks like Pizza Tossin' Meets Fightin' Gear, did anyone else catch that?

Was to comment about that, it is a very close resemblance, and a great use of the Pizza Tossin' & Triple Strike feature.

[Falconhood]

I hope the future figures have more articulation.
thanks for sharing pix!

[Jester]

The Ooze Turtles look to have LESS articulation, sadly.

[koenne]

No variants for me , i'm done with that..
Love the snakeweed and baxter figure though.

[pannoni1]

By this time next year, who knows we could have half an aisle full of TMNT stuff! A thread looks to get 60+ pust in less than 24 hours is always a good sign. Snakeweed was definitely on the way. I wouldn't mind seeing a Mutations Chris Bradford/Xever however. I also hope 2013 brings Shredder's hideout and another nice portable playset that really is a nice space saver when storing, and the Baxter is easily 4kids-era compatible. We've never had Ooze Turtles before however, and using ooze as a weapon isn't a bad idea afer all. With LEGO releasing their sets around the same time and more new episodes, forget the post-holiday slowdown this year!

[VaughnMichael]

Snakeweed and Baxter look fantastic, but so did Dogpound in the prototype stage.
I'm mostly excited at the prospect of the second wave of Classics.

[tmntman]

but i want one theme. UNIVERSAL MONSTER & STAR TREK TURTLES! MAKE THEM PLAYMATES, MAKE THEM. THEY WILL PLEASE ME.:tcool:


Don't hold your breath. Playmates was able to do those cross overs in the past because they already had licenses for those properties. I wouldn't even count on Nickelodeon giving approval for such a cross over if Playmates had the rights. Though, if Nickelodeon likes working with Playmates, we could see the Turtles cross over with other Nick properties.

[CyberCubed]

Seriously, did people NOT think Playmates would make Turtle variants, and stupid-themed ones at that?

Its pretty expected...its a line for kids. Just like its inevitable that baseball Raphael and Hockey Leonardo are probably coming back.

[VaughnMichael]

Playmates and the folks at Nick said from the start that there would be variants.

[1984]

I get all the variant turtles with "wacky action" features kids go for them. Honestly though I am the most excited by a potential 2nd series of the classics series, Toy Fair can't come soon enough.

[Bauer536]

Hey. Is there any way to make a request to Playmates? I don't mind seeing turtle variants in this series, but these just look a bit pathetic. I want them to make cartoon accurate turtles (and Shredder) in the basic lines. I like my Power FX ones, but they get annoying when you want them to shut up. Any ideas?:tconfuse:

[Roseangelo]

Playmates and the folks at Nick said from the start that there would be variants.

Yeah, like I said, I can accept that. But it does really pizza me off that they went through the trouble of making new sculpts for them without offering the new sculpts as basic Turtles. New basic Turtles would be a better sort of variant, really.

[Veedubguy83]

I will have more to say about Baxter and Snakeweed when we actually see what they are going to look like... So far almost every figure we have seen in prototype stage looks amazing compared to what they actually produce... Only time will tell...

[Bauer536]

Yeah, like I said, I can accept that. But it does really pizza me off that they went through the trouble of making new sculpts for them without offering the new sculpts as basic Turtles. New basic Turtles would be a better sort of variant, really.

Yeah. That's why I want ask this question: Is there any way to make a request to Playmates? Plus, I want them to make cartoon accurate turtles (and Shredder) in the basic lines.

No, there isn't. They are more likely to mock us behind our backs than actually listen.

Awesome, the head scans look kinda better than the series 1 turtles. I wonder if you could take them off and but them on the regular turtles.

[Bauer536]

No, there isn't. They are more likely to mock us behind our backs than actually listen.

Then why are we allowing this to happen? Won't this hurt sales? What is it with these companies? I mean, when they used to make toys for Star Trek, they didn't make some of the other characters from episodes fans loved. It would only take Diamond Select Toys to do some of the job. Playmates never made a Salt Monster or Kirk dressed up as a Romulan.

[oldmanwinters]

But it does really pizza me off that . . .

Oh, wow, I can't believe I've never seen that done before. :tlol:

[Roseangelo]

Then why are we allowing this to happen? Won't this hurt sales?

7 year-olds are their target audience, not us.

[Bauer536]

7 year-olds are their target audience, not us.

I guess. But what does it take for them to make figures that are a bit accurate to the animated designs?

I'm not spending my money on these varients just to get their heads. Unless ebay has them separate from their bodies, I'm not taking any chances.

[VaughnMichael]

Yeah, like I said, I can accept that. But it does really pizza me off that they went through the trouble of making new sculpts for them without offering the new sculpts as basic Turtles. New basic Turtles would be a better sort of variant, really.
I agree but they should of done exact sculpts from the start.
Not to mention release figures as their character appears on the show.
This would of avoided the Dogpound & Fishface spoilers.
Perhaps they will release them without silly outfits in the next wave to space it out and not confuse people.

If I was in charge over the things definitely would be going differently, but I'm not so there's really no point of me getting upset about it like I used to.
I will just show them with what I spend my money on and I encourage others to do the same.

I really wish they would get on the ball with the paint issues, articulation, and the eyes on the classics figures had to be really embarrassing for them.

[Bauer536]

I'm afraid to ask them why they decided "Ghostbuster/Rescue Heroes" turtles would be appropriate for the series. They'll probably just say, "TMNT is a beloved property, and kids love to imagine where the turtles will do next." What are they? Politicians? They can't give us a straight answer?:trolleye: So I'm not going through that.

[Candy Kappa]

I'm not spending my money on these varients just to get their heads. Unless ebay has them separate from their bodies, I'm not taking any chances.

That would look terrible with an smooth stylized head on a more detailed rounded designed body

[Bauer536]

That would look terrible with an smooth stylized head on a more detailed rounded designed body

:tconfuse:You know, you have a point. The heads would look wrong on those bodies. They're very cartoony rather than detailed, and that would look wrong for all the veins popping out of the basic turltes. Plus, what if Playmates is listening to this and decide to completely pin the heads down so we can't remove them? Oh boy.:tlol: I guess we should just be happy with what we have and just buy Baxter and Snakweed when they come out. I'm still glad I have the Power FX toys. They may not be the best, but those are the most accurate we're going to get right now. However, soon Playmates will make them (just probably coming with snap-on armor like those 2k3 ones).:tlol: God only knows what they'll do.

[Roseangelo]

I will just show them with what I spend my money on and I encourage others to do the same.

I agree. I get really frustrated when I see the same people buying the figures as are complaining about them.

[Oculus Orbus]

But it does really pizza me off that they went through the trouble of making new sculpts for them without offering the new sculpts as basic Turtles. New basic Turtles would be a better sort of variant, really.

I couldn't agree more. Really, what's the point with making actual cartoon accurate Turtles if you're just gonna put them in those stupid costumes?

[FoxZerro]

This is very exciting news... even if the Turtle figures look awful. I am excited to hear about Baxter and Snakeweed, but even more excited by the knee articulation. I hope that stays in the final product because that would make them the kind of toys I would be willing to buy. Plus it would indicate to me that a future Shredder release or Foot Solder release might also have knee articulations which would be sweet...

I will be more excited when I find out more about he Ooze Turtles. Really I am interested in knowing if the heads pop off and if those backpacks are removable. I usually pick up at least one from each variant line so I have a card and can later do fun trick or treating set ups with my turtles for Halloween. In this line I would definitely want Leo for doing his best Ghostbuster impersonation.

[Zulithe]

100% Ghostbusters inspired. I kinda like them. We'll see.

But i'm most definitely going to get snakeweed and baxter. Those look great. I'm sure the final paint jobs will disappoint, though :p

[Uki]

I want some ooze (all 4 babies), and my daughter will love the T-Phone/Shell-Cell/Turtle-Com.

I might get Baxter too; I've only been getting toon figures of characters who were in the OT. (I do love the new toon, though!)

I'm very eager for more Classics though! Bring on April, Bebop, Rocksteady, Splinter, Shredder, and Krang!

[TheCanadiandrome]

I just hope that with the ooze, I don't/won't have to open it to get my 4 baby turtles

[Donatello19]

I just hope that with the ooze, I don't/won't have to open it to get my 4 baby turtles

You will, the baby Turtle figures will be hidden in the ooze.

[TheCanadiandrome]

You will, the baby Turtle figures will be hidden in the ooze.
welp, i guess that's what these here boards and ebay are for! scorin them from someone else who opens the container so i don't have to :P :D

[BubbaShelby]

I'm gonna need a lot of ooze - to get the 4 turtles and because...ooze!

[Wes]

I like all the new stuff! I won't buy all of it (probably just Baxter and maybe the pizza box playset), but I think kids will get a kick out of it.

And while those Ghostbuster Turtles don't appeal to me now, I could see picking a couple of them up if the actual releases end up being as articulated as the Turtles we have now. A little repainting, some Ghostbuster stickers, and they'd be fun crossover nostalgia items. :D

[CyberCubed]

I still don't get why there isn't a Spiderbitez figure. He debuted as early as the 3rd episode.

Maybe they think his design is so boring that kids won't want to play with him?

[TheCanadiandrome]

[synthalus]

Baxter Stockman and Snakeweed look awesome! Definitely must buys for me :)
The Pop Up Display looks very interesting and the Ooze Cruiser would fit right in with the vintage line. Awesome to see they brought back the Mutant Ooze!

agreed man! stockman and snakeweed looks really good

[PhatRam32]

Really digging Baxter Stockman and Snakeweed. The other stuff is a maybe for me.. reallly hoping for vehicles and playsets for the villains now that we have a ton of stuff for our heroes in a half-shell.:tgrin:

[miru]

I still don't get why there isn't a Spiderbitez figure. He debuted as early as the 3rd episode.

Maybe he's only going to appear twice?

[Irishmile]

The Mutagen Ooze Turtles are interesting.. I imagine its not something we will actually see on the show much like 99% of the classic turtle varients.

They sort of remind me of the Ghostbusters.. and honestly that sort of makes me want to buy them. Their head scultps also look more like their Cartoon counterparts than the basic four does...

Its minor.. but I wish the ooze was green instead of blue.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Maybe that's a proto pic and the final release of the ooze will be colored more like the show

[Powder]

It's supposed to be blue though. The reason I wanna buy it is for that fact alone, that it's screen accurate. I was pleasantly surprised they took the initiative.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Guess I'm the only one who never notices blue in the ooze in the toon

[Irishmile]

I wish it was green in the toon as well...

That Baxter figure is as cool looking as I thought it would...Very nice!

Digging the ooze as well!

OMG the patrol buggy looks awesome! I'm so buying that! Are the two halves sold together or individually? As for the battle shell turtles, they are already out. I don't see why they reported that.

[Irishmile]

Im not completely sold on the Patrol Buggys.. I do like that each one is a little different.. But there isnt much to them otherwise... Im guessing they will be around $10 a pop?

My son thinks they're brilliant though...

[Donatello19]

Wait...they're selling all four individually? Lame...

[Irishmile]

I have no clue... I was just guessing... I do like the theory of them being sold in pairs.. it makes them more tempting to pick up.

[raphfan85]

i kinda like the head sculpts on these turtles. i may get them and put their heads on the regular turtle figures.

[Heather Breckel]

I'm not big on turtle variants, but I do like Raph and Mikey's outfits in the ooze set so I'll probably pick those up. Whether or not I get any of the flingers will depend on how they actually look in pereson.

[Darkravager]

I think I'd like the turtles more if they had a better delivery method for the ooze other than the "flinger" on the side. Maybe if it was a tank that held the ooze and a cannon that would squirt it out. If they're going to ape the Ghostbusters, they should have gone all the way.

[plasticturtle]

I'm really only interested in collecting variations of the four Turtles but these particular variations don't interest me much. I kind of like Baxter, but not enough to buy him. Snakeweed looks cool but as I stated earlier he looks like he'd be really fragile. I've never bought Ooze or any other slime type toy as I can't stand the feel of the stuff. I can't see why playing with fake snot is fun. I am glad they're making it for those who do like it though.

[Darkravager]

I wonder how they are going to handle Stockman in this series. I wonder if they will go the techno route like the 2k3 series did, or have him become a mutant like the OT did. I kinda would like to see him become a mutant again since this series seems to be heavy on the mutants.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I think I'd buy those patrol buggys before I'd buy the other vehicles

[Ravenxl7]

Hey, guys! Did anyone see this yet?:tgrin:

http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=20&itemid=19504
Not bad, but definitely easy passes for me. If I get any of the vehicles, it'll be the wave two Sewer Cruiser...and maybe even the Shellraiser if I ever see it on clearance...

However, why is this last one a big deal? Aren't these already out at Toys R Us?:tconfuse:

http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=20&itemid=19507
They must have took it down, as that link just leads to their front page now.

[jestermon]

So are they are going to sell the ooze seperately with the new ooze turtles, have they said how big they are?

I don't want to buy a figure to get them.

Hopefully they will be near the old versions size, I bet they will be that squinky material and not hard plastic.

The ooze tubes with baby turtles inside will be sold in single units.

[jestermon]

Good hopefully they won't be crazy expensive, May not even keep the ooze, just want the vials and turtles.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I want the ooze and the turtles

[raphfan85]

i do like the ooze canisters, but i think its kinda silly how the baby turtles come with weapons.

[Donatello19]

but i think its kinda silly how the baby turtles come with weapons.

I was thinking that too, along with their belts. Doesn't make much sense.

Anyways, how much do you guys think the ooze will cost? My guess is around 2 or 3 dollars, hopefully no more than four. I want to collect all the baby turtles, but I feel like I'll end up with a lot of doubles.

[Shogi]

So, wait.....each tube of ooze doesn't come with all 4 baby turtles inside?

That's what I figured it would be

[Irishmile]

It is the sort of thing toy companies like to do... put in a random collectable you can not see to force you to buy more than you need... those greedy jerks!

[Ravenxl7]

I'm hoping they only cost three bucks each. That's what these "blind bagged" things usually go for anyways. I don't really care about the baby turtles, so I'm not really worried about getting doubles. I'm sure I could find someone to trade with if I end-up wanting to have one of each. Also, I was probably going to get at least three canisters anyways, if not several more...They won't be in-scale, but they should look nice displayed next to the figures. Especially if I find a way to light them from behind.

[TheCanadiandrome]

[Kevin G]

I still don't get why there isn't a Spiderbitez figure. He debuted as early as the 3rd episode.

Maybe they think his design is so boring that kids won't want to play with him?

I'm sure we will eventually get a Spider Bytez figure. Although I wonder if they will create figures just for the action figure series like they did with the 1988 series.

[MikeandRaph87]

It appears in February we will get information about wave two of the Classics collection. ToyNewsi.com has a poll going on right now asking if Beop adn Rocskteady should be apart of the next wave. Of course I voted "yes" and its the overwhelming response though its only about 600 voices being heard at the point of this post.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I voted hell yes lol

[Ninjinister]

I still don't get why there isn't a Spiderbitez figure. He debuted as early as the 3rd episode.

We never got a Spider Bytez back in 2008 either.

[Irishmile]

We never got a Spider Bytez back in 2008 either.

I was not aware that Spider Bytez was in previous versions.. was he cool?
I like the contemporary urban episodes of the 4kids stuff but it lost me when they got strange or futuristic.

[Ravenxl7]

I was not aware that Spider Bytez was in previous versions.. was he cool?
He was kinda cool looking...I guess. As far as I can tell, the only pre-Nick Spider Bytez was an unreleased toy from the '07 movie line (picture for anyone curious (http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbhfq26oJf1qftyxzo2_500.jpg)). There's also this image here (http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3019/2917572745_18910c7a9c_o.png) that comes up in a Google search, and while it could have been a BttS Spider Bytez, I can't find anything official backing that up. It's just titled "creature".

As for the Nick Spider Bytez. I'm hoping he gets a figure at some point. Maybe he'll be in a wave 2.5 sort of situation, like Metalhead, Dogpound, and Fishface. That said, I'm not exactly hopeful that a figure of him would be all that good. We'll just have to wait and see.

I've been thinking about the Baxter Stockman figure. It does look really good, and there's not much paint there for them to cut, so I imagine the production figure will look really good too. That said, I'm not sure I'm actually going to get him anymore. It's cool yeah, but given how his first episode ended, I don't think we'll ever see him in this particular armor again.

Then again, the only way I see them releasing another figure of him, would be if he get's mutated into a fly (which I'd actually like to see happen eventually), or if they didn't want to release a set of Mousers without their creator. I could see them making a armor-less Stockman and pack in one or two Mousers with him.

The more I think about this next big wave...the more I think I might just stick to getting some Mutagen Ooze canisters and the Turtle-Comm...

[SoundBlaster7]

Ooze + baby turtles = so much win!!! :D
Ghostbuster Turtles are pretty neat, but I don't collect variants.
Snakeweed and Baxter are must haves.

Can't wait to hear more about the 2nd wave of Classics.
We need Bebop, Rocksteady, April, Shredder and Krang!

[Ninjinister]

The figures named "Spider Bytez" and "Metal Klawz" were based on monsters conjured up by Demon April in the episode The Engagement Ring (or maybe the other way around - they could have been shoehorned into the show to sell the figures). Unfortunately neither figure ever made it to shelves.

That's why I was excited to find out that not only did they use that name for a new villain in the 2012 series, but also the same spelling (as seen in both closed captions and the end credits). Spider Bytez was kind of a dumb villain but the fact that the writers did their homework on this one keeps me from finding him wholly irredeemable.

[PhatRam32]

So according to the article posted here: http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=20&itemid=19504

Its 2 vehicles instead of 4 that combine into one? Also, from watching the show I thought that they first separated into two with raph and mikey on one and leo and donnie on the other instead of what is stated in the article.

Confused :ohwell:

[Shogi]

So I just saw someone on ebay with the pop up pizza playset in hand. He says they won't be in stores until February.

So is this starting to actually show up now or did this guy wind up with some advance pieces?

[Donatello19]

3690
I hope this Donnie, and all the launcher turtles for that manner, have ball joint heads and are in scale with the basic figures, because I want to put this Don's head on the basic Don. I'm one of the few who like the gap in his teeth :D

[Drose18]

If the shell raisers price goes down is it worth buying?

[Donatello19]

I'd say it's worth buying even with it's original price, but if it's lowered, then why not.

Since this is my first post, I thought I'd bring something good. Going through the computer at work today(I work at Walmart), I came across some new TMNT figure assortments. Now take these with a grain with salt because they are always subject to change, but more often than not they're usually correct.
Mutagen Ooze Turtles, Cockroach, Shredder 2, Splinter 2, Mouser 7 pack, Spider Bytes, Newtralizer, Stealth Turtles, Ninjas Don & Leo, Ninjas Mike & Raph. These all just popped up in the system over the past weekend(I usually check every week for new stuff) & all come up under the basic figure assortment sku. Anywho, it's good for conversation if anything...:)

"shredder 2" Splinter 2" FINALLY I can't wait for Playmates to release the splinter who shoots chopsticks out of his chest and shredder who shoots blades out of his groin. Hope they are a lot cooler than that though :P

[Kevin G]

Hmm,

Maybe it's because I'm typing this at 7:39 a.m. before I go to work, but it could it be possible that Splinter 2 and Shredder 2 are actually Hamato Yoshi and Oroku Saki figures.

Saki before he was burnt and Yoshi before he was turned into a rat.

Not very likely. If that was the case, they'd probably be called Hamato Yoshi and Oroku Saki. I'd say they're just variants with some action feature.

But no, no official word. Just this mate finding names in his computer at work. Lord knows what they are, if anything.

[FoxZerro]

If there is any truth to the Shredder 2 and Splinter 2 I really hope that they have better articulation. It would be nice to have a Shredder I can actually pose and do things with. Same with Spliter pick up a 7 pack of Mousers and set him up kicking some Robot Butt that would be a good time

Now take these with a grain with salt because they are always subject to change, but more often than not they're usually correct.
Cool, if true. Not to insult you, but considering this was your first post, I'm finding no reason to believe you. We'll just have to wait and see. Anyways...
...Mutagen Ooze Turtles...
These'll be the wave two Turtles seen in the first post of this thread.
...Cockroach...
Wasn't expecting it, but a figure of Don's pet Chong would definitely be nice. Though if this is true, I hope it's his first mutation, rather than the second...
...Shredder 2, Splinter 2...
Wasn't expecting redo's of either of them. I've got Shredder, and I'm happy with him, but I do still need a Splinter. Kinda makes me curious how better they could make him...or if these are placeholder names for Yoshi and Saki figures (aka pre-mutation Splinter and pre-mutilated Shredder).
...Mouser 7 pack...
I was expecting a Mouser multi-pack, but not seven of them all at once. Especially if they're being sold at the basic price-point. That said, if they somehow did it, and the Mousers didn't absolutely suck...it'd be very hard to pass-up.
...Spider Bytes...
Would certainly be nice to get a figure of him.
...Newtralizer...
Cool name. My guess is this could be something the Kraang create.
...Stealth Turtles...
Would be cool to see the Turtle's all sthealthed-up. That said, not sure I would get the whole team in Ninja garb.
...Ninjas Don & Leo, Ninjas Mike & Raph...
Sounds like 2-packs, but I can't see them giving you two of the turtles for the price of one...Unless they're smaller scaled figures, just sold together at the basic price point...:ohwell:
These all just popped up in the system over the past weekend(I usually check every week for new stuff) & all come up under the basic figure assortment sku. Anywho, it's good for conversation if anything...:)
I can imagine most of them being priced a the basic figure price-point, but not all of them...
Mind you these are several different waves. I was so excited I just wrote it down. I'll get the wave break down tomorrow if anyone is interested.
The more info you can provide us, the better.

[Donatello19]

@Prefight Doughnuts: Ah okay, I understand. Thanks for clearing things up!

My thoughts on the upcoming figures:

Cockroach: hmmm, could this be Don's pet Chong? we shall see I guess, but it's pretty cool if there's a figure of him coming.

Spider Bytez: It's about time. I think Spider Bytez will make an awesome figure!

Stealth Turtles: I'm guessing they're going to just be more turtle variants. Eh, I'll pass.

Ninja Turtles: More variants? Two packs? IDK...

Mouser Pack: It's pretty cool and I'll get it for sure, but I honestly doubt they would give us seven for the price of 1 figure, I'd think they would give us 3 or 4.

Splinter 2 and Shredder 2: As nice as it would be to get Yoshi and Saki figures, I doubt it. Maybe they have some sort of action feature? I also doubt they would re release them with improved designs so fast. We'll see.

[greensborohill]

Can someone post a pick of "Chong" what episode was he in?

[plasticturtle]

Stealth Turtles sound interesting. I actually like variants if they look all right.

[TheCanadiandrome]

This. I got the lair for christmas and it is just amazing.

i left mine misp, but yeah i agree

He hasn't appeared yet, mate.

[Kevin G]

I totally got the reference when I heard about Chong. I was surprised no one said anything but I guess not many people smoke weed:

Chong (most likely) a nod to Cheech and Chong (how many characters do we all know named Chong ?)

Name of a pet cockroach which is a small joint... put 2 and 2 together.

[Powder]

He hasn't appeared yet, mate.

We do have pictures of his mutated form(s), though.

Actually that's wrong. Ciero confirmed that Chong is named after one of the artist on the show.

Probably only so that they could have an in-office joke put passed the masses. It's no coincidence as far as I'm concerned.

Great find, dude! This sounds cool! Please tell me this is true!:tgrin:

Mutagen Ooze Turtles (aka, Ghostbuster turtles:tlol:) are the ones coming out, so we already know about those. I can't wait for the Cockroach, Spider Bytes, and even Mousers to come out. Those sound cool.:tcool:

I'm guessing Shredder 2 and Splinter 2 are more poseable versions of the basic versions and with better paint job. Maybe they'll even come with more accessories. Who knows? As for stealth Turtles, something tells me they'll be cartoon accurate turtle figures, or the basic turtle figures in black ninja outfits or something. But something tells me Ninja Leo and Don and Ninja Mike and Raph sound like they're going to be somewhat cartoon accurate. I don't know. Why they would come in a two-pack is beyond me.

[Ravenxl7]

Understandable.
Thank you for not taking what I said as an insult. I've come across a good handful of people who claim to have info like this (some did, most were attention seekers), and most the time any question as to whether or not their BSing people is usually taken as a huge insult.
I'll do you one better, I'll just take a picture of the screen at work tomorrow.
Awesome, though don't go out of your way to do so, and potentially jeopardize your job.

Awesome. Leatherhead was inevitable, and I feel Rat King had a decent chance too. Leatherhead will be an absolute must, and Rat King will certainly be tempting. If not for my TMNT display, he could always make a good Scarecrow stand-in...and I guess Leatherhead could even pass as a decent Killer Croc too...lol

Honestly no. I imagine we'll get a better idea come Toy Fair, but our computers only tell us basic info(ie-A case of TMNT figures are coming in, but not what assortment). Sorry.

TRU in IL. The four turtles BTW are pretty easy to see through the ooze taking the guessing game out of your purchase. Plus on the bottom of the canister is serial number that ends in the letter A B C or D making it really easy to not buy doubles.:tgrin:

OOO I need to check my Toy R Us this weekend.

[TurtleMaster4]

Gosh, I don't have any of these figures yet! But thankfully for christmas, i have alot of $$$$$$$ so i think i'll go to walmart soon, just got to convince my parents to let me. (gonna take a while) So I got some catching up to do!

The varient Turtles, although I love the sculps, i'm going to pass, due to those annoying costumes. But Baxter and Snakeweed are a must! I might get around to buying an ooze canister, or those awesome patrol buggys. But By the time i'm done buying the basic figure line, I'm not sure if i'd be able to afford any vehicles!

As for you Hurrijak, i'm soo glad you took the time to look to see if there are any new figures comming. A mouser 7 pack and Spider Bytz sound sweet! And Leather head and rat king, well let's just hope I have enough money! :tgrin:

Thanks for the pics dude. Hopefully all of these make it to retail. Should be interesting to see how some of these turn out. Most especially Leatherhead and Spider Bytes. The fact that Walmart will be stocking the Battle Shell Turtles has me hopeful that they'll be stocking the Classic Collection figures too.

There are two on there that you hadn't mentioned before that caught my eye. The "Turtle Motorcycle", which could just be the wave one cycle, but I wouldn't be too surprised if they were putting out another one, and the "Kraang Hover Drone", which should be interesting to see.

I still have no idea what to expect from the Splinter 2 and Shredder 2 listings. If I find a wave one Splinter I'll still probably get him, as I don't want to miss out on having a Splinter. At the same time, I kinda don't want to buy him just to replace him later on with a potentially improved version. That said, I've already got a Shredder...so maybe I could have the wave one versions displayed with their crew, and the improved one's on their own shelf battling it out...

[Donatello19]

6 dollars for ooze? That's ridiculous if you ask me.

[CyberCubed]

I find it more interesting that Toys R Us has to pay 5.75 for the toys and sells them for 8.88, which means they barely get $2 profit from each toy.

[zaktheneutrino]

That's amazing news about all of the new figures! I can't wait until they hit the shelves. My wallet is going to take a beating though haha

Btw, anyone else think that Splinter 2 may be Hamato Yoshi?? Wonder if Shredder 2 will be like the armorized shredder in the 2k3 series? Either way, I am excited!

[weizie]

6026 Thanx a bunch!

Shows your store has 12 on the floor....a case is 12....so ur store has em

[Powder]

I'm gonna guess that Newtralizer is a Newt. A Mutant lizard thing with laser guns or some sh*t. Could be neat.

[FoxZerro]

Very excited that these were confirmed and can not wait to buy 6 Mouser 7-packs. Its like the Universe itself is telling me that is the right number of Mousers to own...

I'm gonna guess that Newtralizer is a Newt. A Mutant lizard thing with laser guns or some sh*t. Could be neat.

I was thinking it might be that weird tazer thing that Leonardo had used a couple of times in the show... but once we had info that said he would be at the 8.88 Pricepoint I figured it would be some sort of crazy Lizard Bounty Hunter Man. Super excited

[Donnie]

6 dollars for ooze? That's ridiculous if you ask me.

Uhhh, that's really not that bad, man.

[Powder]

$6.99 for a tube of goo is bullsh*t, even if you have money to blow.

[MST3KFan]

$6.99 for a tube of goo is bullsh*t, even if you have money to blow.

But you're paying for the mini-turtle figure, not the goo. :roll:

Given I had a TRU coupon for $3 off to blow, I bought one canister today for the heck of it.
It had Raph in it, which was cool. Some of the turtles are easier to see inside the ooze as to who you get, but I just grabbed one as again mentioned before, for the heck of it.
Definitely gave me some nostalgia having ooze again. Sure the original version was neon green, but this stuff is actual pretty show accurate in color.

I wonder if I could somehow put some kind of light-up effect in the canister to make it really look cool...

[Zulithe]

Seems you can't go a week around this forum without someone begging for ooze... so they are going to get it. Personally I won't be buying it. I don't know what I'd do with the ooze and the figures look like something out of a coin operated toy vending machine.

I want to see pics of the other new 2013 basic figures!

[TheCanadiandrome]

Getting excited for this year!

[The Purple Dragon]

hope those mousers turn out good. in the toon they did look like the mirage mousers just with red instead of blue. hope they are as good as the neca ones or better so i dont have to custom work like i did with the neca ones

[cryan]

It looks like one Walmart in my area is getting the TMNT figures in again. I saw a few cases of the battle Shell figures which are 11 inches tall. so some TMNT stuff is coming back.

[Endurs03]

I haven't seen a new Tmnt shipment to any Walmart within 30 miles. Sigh. I want the new stuff so badly.

[TurtleMaster4]

So the only figures coming in next month is Stockman, the ooze, and snakeweed right?

[Jester]

I'm gonna guess that Newtralizer is a Newt. A Mutant lizard thing with laser guns or some sh*t. Could be neat.
Didn't Ciro mention a character that was just that?

[Powder]

Beats me. I've not read that, personally.

http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=20&itemid=19698
Good to know that Playmates has confirmed most of the listings. Hopefully that'll mean they'll all make it to retail. I'm really curious to see what these "Splinter 2" and "Shredder 2" figures will be. I'm not sure if I should continue trying to get a wave one Splinter or not....I guess I could always give it to my nephew if the second version is that much better. Not sure what I would do with wave one Shredder if the new one was a big enough of an improvement (nephew already has one).

Can't wait to see at least some of this stuff in pictures from Toy Fair.

So the only figures coming in next month is Stockman, the ooze, and snakeweed right?
I'm going to guess you mean the mini turtles when listing the ooze as "figures". Anyways, there's also the first set of Turtle variants coming out alongside the two new baddy figures. There's also the flingers figures, but I'm guessing you only mean the Basic figures...

[Zulithe]

Didn't Ciro mention a character that was just that?

Yes he talked about this character in his 1-on-1 interview on Talkin Toons #060 a while back. It is a mutant Newt and based off an original character he created when he was 12yo. Supposedly he is buff, has a tail (of course), "predator meets the punisher version of a salamander" is how Ciro described him. Can't wait to see what it looks like!

[CyberCubed]

So already there's a new roach mutant and a Newt mutant? Ugh, I'm getting kind of bored of this.

Would rather see the return of the mutants from the original toon or Archie.

[NinjaMan]

Actually sounds like he could be an interesting character. The "predator meets punisher" description sounds good to me, and has me thinking he'll be an antagonist to at least some degree. Googleing images of newt's has me wondering what color he'll end-up being.

[Shogi]

Well depending on what the final toys look like, I think I'm going to have to get the Mouser pack, Leatherhead and Rat King (I can't wait to see how he is in the cartoon)

Man only 1 of each PER BOX that is going to make it rough. I might pick up these just so I have something new to mess with while I wait for the all-new figures coming later :)

As neat as it is (i love the ghostbusters vibe) I don't get why they are using ooze as a weapon? It seems to me that anything it touches it mutates. How is it a weapon of any value?

And again, Playmates paint apps are complete crap.

Hope you don't mind me taking the liberty, Jester.

Well played, good sir.

Tell what do you think is wrong with the paint apps. I don't understand. They look fine.

Look at the prototypes here:

and compare them to the stuff from here:

And I know that the prototypes are always better than the real release...but come on now...there are NO highlights. It's just static blue and tan...none of the detailing looks to be painted. Leo's name placard is all tan...even his sculpted name doesn't get painted.

Oh. I see your point. You're right. Still, it doesn't matter. I'm not buying those ones anyway. Hopefully, there will be better figures of the turtles in the future.

So I didn't realize how small those ooze canisters were until I saw them. The prototype images made them seem 10-12 inches long, but these things are tiny. Probably the size of michelangelo. Bit disappointing and I will pass. As you can see, there was nothing else new, and only a few Krang lay strewn across the section:

Wow...thanks for the "in scale" shot. They are tiny....though no smaller than Ooze canisters have been in the past.

Wow, no love for the Kraang in that store, eh?

[zkarlette]

The size is quite disappointing they should have made them a little bigger specially for that price.
I wish they would make a collectors replica of the canister.

[zkarlette]

At least the design of his face is nice and not rabid like the sound effects figures...
I love it how it says that the "ooze launcher" Leo does not include the "ooze". That's how they getcha!!!

[Zulithe]

i'll still buy the those 4 new turtles. paint apps disappointing as usual but they are still pretty neat. Gonna pick up one ooze cannister, but after i see them in person who knows :P also depends on what the stores around here are pricing them at.
