articulated tmnt?

[darthsmozers]

All,
I think the mutating figures have one of the best articulations. Any chance w'ell see figures of the tmnt from the new show that LOOK like they do in the new show? the original 4 tmnt figs from the new line sure dont look like they can pose or fight in the ways the dudes in the show do. Just wondering.

[lhb412]

Well the new line of armored turtles will have removable armor (In other words: normal TMNT underneath) and they're super posable, they look like completely new sculpts too!

[darthsmozers]

these turtles we already have lookl true to the comic versions...short and stout. in the show, they look pretty acrobatic.

[lethrhd]

so when are these armored turtles comin' out again?

[Kid Icarus]

pry next year's my guess.

although they may be holiday season toys, and the mutations would be next year then.....

[OA]

Besides these armored turtles coming out, does anyone know what the next turtle variation will be (i.e. extreme sports, armored, ???)? Not that im a big fan of just doin different variations of the turtles, cuz I love all these side characters being put out, but i was just wonderin...

[lhb412]

Well, I'm guessing the mutating figures will come out after the armored turtles.

the next variants are the Mutatin' Turtles. basically just reworks of the old 'Mutatin''line.

Does anyone have pictures of the armor turtles? I know there has most likely been a thread on them somewhere but does anyone have a link?

[OA]

Does anyone else think that those look really messed up?

[darthsmozers]

they look like kids will enjoy them, as they should.

BTW-found nano robot and the new foot tech ninja today :)

Nope, they look fine to me. Since all the armor is removable, and we get super articulated turtles out of the deal. We win, and the kiddies win. Yay! :D

[EZweasel]

they dont look super articulated but way beter than the originals, and hey it might just be the armor covers up the articulated parts

Look at Mikey for the best look at them. You can see the articulation joint at the knee and the ankle. So far we have head (1), ball jointed shoulders (4), elbow cut-joints (2), wrists (2), ball jointed legs (4), knees (2), ankles (2). So it looks like around 17 (maybe more) points of articulation per figure. Since ball-joints count as 2 points of articulation. :)

[EZweasel]

i wish the elbos would bend like the knees.

[Aaron]

I think they look pretty cool. Especialy Leo and Don.

[Eye of Sarnath]

As far as I can tell, the armored TMNT have only two more points of articulation.

space turtles.

The only thing I don't like about the armored Turtles are their helments, I'll just take the helments off of them, otherwise they look great. New face sculpts too!

Same here. I wasn't too crazy about them when I first saw the pics. When you picture them without those doofy lookin' helmets though, they should be pretty cool.

::takes a sip of water & reads the post:: *PFFFFFTT!* What, WHat WhaT!? :o

Those came out already? :-? Awesome! :D

How are they duder? Can that foot tech ninja sit down & how articulated is the Nano robot?

[OA]

I dunno..im kinda diggin the helmets..i mean how many turlte figures have actually come out with removable helmets? I think it shoudl be pretty neat... :D

[cqb101]

I really like articulated turtles! I really like figures with lots of artivulation, because I enjoy building dioramas, and recreating scenes from the show.

[Psycho Da Turtle]

These seem to be much better than wave one.

The articulation, of course, awsome. I am not one to leave my figures in box, I take 'em out and play, so this is a plus.

Also, They will likey fit better on the vehicles now, especially for sitting in the turtle shell.

The belts look nicer now too, that they arent blackish, but brown like in the toon.

I wish we could see the back shell.

The breastplates of the shell look better too.

I like the facial expressions more, they look more detailed.

Get em and open them, they are for playing with. You can't really appreciate them unless you crack them open and admire them from all angles. :)

[OA]

You can always get 2 of each: one to admire and one to play with. Problem solved! pocets emptier too

[trez]

Or you could be like me and remove the toys without damaging the cards...

[Rob_003]

These new armor Turtles look great. I wish they had done more for the new Shredder tho. They just repainted the orginal skulpt and gave him a new head mold. Im still picking up 2 of each of them tho.
