Totally awesome!! I can't wait to see the new toys... I hope Playmates creates really detailed action figs.

[Bowser_Koopa]

:cry: nostalgia hapyness and emaresement cuz it would be emarasing for me to buy that, but i will anyways :D , do they have pictures yet?

[Karpo_007]

They never had action figures of mirage turtles... Maybe now is the time...

[HorseTechie]

Ay..? So they're saying these are gonna look really cool, like the LotR and other highly detailed action figures? Wow... I can;t wait to seeeee...

*psst* I'm 27 years ol, and a woman... you think you get embarrassed buying figures? Hah!

[Karpo_007]

Heh :lol: Im only 17... 8)

[Bowser_Koopa]

i'm 16 :tcool: and HorseTechie u cn say its for your kids :trolleye: mm.....do u have kids?

[Karpo_007]

Well dont know about HT but my adopted kid turned 5 last march :lol:

[azure turtle]

LOL! HT doesn't have kids... yet. ;)

I'd feel weird buying TMNT toys too, but that's not gonna stop me from getting them. :evilgrin:

[Karpo_007]

Well my "kid" Is a dog... He's not a kid really anymore.... but sure acts that way!

[HorseTechie]

No.. I don't have kids. Just a punk husband and a pet turtle. But I look like I'm 18 and I'm 5'2", which doesn't help me much if I were buying em for my "so called kids"!

Oh well, I'll just hang out with my 32 year old co-worker, when we take lunchbreaks in the mall. He likes collecting action figures and comics too!

[azure turtle]

LOL!! That's cool, HT! At least you'll have someone there for moral support when you buy the action figs. ;)

[PWDESAI]

you guys are so weird. Who cares if people see you buying action figures... I buy them all the time. Now it's a different thing if you have no money so you try and drag your parents out to buy them with you. I have to make sure that i get enough money by the time the turtles come out.... :P

[HorseTechie]

ugh.. now that is bad. Or... you can beg your parents (or Santa) to get them for you as Christmas gifts. :P

[azure turtle]

*snicker*
I oughta ask Santa. I've been a good turtle this year! :anime:

I feel weird buying action figures or toys because I'm nineteen. Most people my age don't even think about toys. :goofygri: 'Course, that's not gonna stop me.

Yeah... they just think of us as a buncha geeks! :roll:

[Karpo_007]

So you got that picture in black shirt bowser?
Maybe i should do... How large is the picture in the shirt?

[Bowser_Koopa]

not big the same size as a sheet, but my brother had a Zelda picture printed on a t-shirt.......just after i had mine printed, he asked the guy to make it bigger and he made it the double of it original size, it looks better than mine, but mine doesn't look that bad, it costed me ~3$

[azure turtle]

Yeah... they just think of us as a buncha geeks! :roll:
*snicker*
Yeah... Oh well. I really don't care what people will think. I'm proud to be a TMNT geek! :D

[HorseTechie]

Me too! :evilgrin:

[Karpo_007]

Well there is not nothing geeky in liking turtles!

[PWDESAI]

dude, there are like 30 year olds who buy toys,
look at most of the toys today, they are aimed towards collectors, i'm sure they're not gonna care if they see you there buying some tmnt toys...
I mean the new transformers reissues are totally aimed towards collectors, considering the price is $40 and it says collectors all over it...

[HorseTechie]

Yeah.. tha'was the point I was making. O course, us collectors still get called geeks by our loved ones who don't understand the concept. Silly peoples.

Ooo..ooo.. this just in on the Official Mirage Site!!

[Skeletoncrew]

*drools* I am SO tempted to just buy by the case. Maybe I could set up a gift registry at Toy's R Us? :evilgrin:

[azure turtle]

Oh man... Look at that list of toys!! I don't think there's anything I don't want to get...
*starts plotting*

[tmntfreak]

I'm going to get two sets of series 1. All the vehicles. Two Leo Swords,two
Mike Nunchakus,two Raph sais,and one Don Staff. Maybe the 12" figures.
I'm not to make the mistake I made when the Turtles first came out.
:tcry: :trazz: :tgrin:

[Skeletoncrew]

I want two of each so I can open one, and keep the other pristine. I'm not so keen on the vehicles, I mainly want the figures. I'm also not a huge fan of 12" figures, but we'll see.

[azure turtle]

This is going to leave a major dent in my wallet... I'd really like to get two sets of every figure as well, but I don't think that's possible. :(

[HorseTechie]

heh.. I don't think my hubby with like it if I got two of everything too. *shared accounts and living space can sometimes be a pain* But I'll just be content with one set of all four of the little TMNT. :P

[azure turtle]

I think I'm going to try to get at least one of each TMNT, one of the vehicles, and a giant-sized Mike. :anime:

[Kali]

Budget allowing, I want at least one of each of the regular figures, and the role-play weapons. I'm not a big toy person, I'll probably take them out of the box to play around with a bit before displaying them on a shelf. If I get a shelf, I have no shelves at the moment. :goofygri:

[Raphael]

Haha, I'll grab a random kid from outside Toys R Us and walk in with him, then buy the figure - they'll have no idea it's really for me, muhaha... ;)

Just joking!


EDIT! OOH OOH! I wonder if they'll remake the mutatating toys! I love them! *picks up mutating Raph toy and hugs dearly*
