The Sadness.........

[Mistress Karai]

I'm glad that we are geting season 2 figures, but now we may never get some of the season 1 figures they are not the same characters in season 2. We probably will never get a regular human Baxter in a lab coat, or an Oroko Saki in his tan fighting gi. :( Unless Playmates would go back and make figures of them. Hmmm..... What other characters would you like to see that were pretty much season 1 exclusive characters? I also know that many of you want the "Johnny" Purple Dragon leader that Saki killed in episode 1 and a figure of Angel. I would like to have a "Johnny" Purple Dragon leader figure myself.

11th Century Japan Shredder is from season 2 but we probably won't get a figure of him. :( I wonder if Playmates would take suggestions for figures.

I would love it if playmates took suggestions for figures. there are so many possibilities. Why there was no baxter figure is totally beyond me. You'd think that he would be a no brainer to produce. ehh who knows

[coryroo24]

i think they will make a lab coat baxter

[jestergoblin]

Yeah, I bet by the end of 2005 we'll have a lab coat Baxter. Playmates is actually really good at listening to us.

[Anarchistguy]

...Is that sarcasm?

[Jad]

Yeah theres tons of great figures that could be made from season one.

Off the top of my head I can think of a few that i'd like:

Angel (shoe in)
Dragon Face
Any other purple dragons
The other 3 monsters from notes from the underground

[Straight-Edge]

I don't think it's playmates neglecting the first season, so I won't bash them for leaving out key figures like Baxter and Saki.

If Playmates had stuck with Season 1 ay longer, they would run the risk of falling *far* behind the show for character releases. As it stands, we're just getting the Monsters, and Turtle titan. By the time the Turtles in Space mini reruns in the summer, we'll just be seeing th Triceratons and Fugitoid, and we won't see Usagi or Cryo-Splinter till the start of Season 3... Playmates is already falling behind... if they waited until all season 1 figures were done before starting *all* season 2 figures, we'd be on season 5 before we ever got a Utrom Shredder.

The characters mentioned here aren't *that* important (Baxter excepted). But if Season 3 runs the way I expect (lots of returning characters, a few new characters, and a return to focus on Shredder and KaArai), maybe the new figures will lull, and Playmates can backtrack for the few figures they've missed.

I suspect, by 2005's close, we'll be pretty satisfied with the way our collections look.

[jestergoblin]

Well, some of the waves we got were rather weak...

Casey, April, Hun - EASILY could have had Baxter.

Nanotech Monster, Foot Tech Ninja - room for two more, Oruko Saki and Dragon Face.

Also, I wasn't be sarcastic. Compared to most toy companies, Playmates does a really good job listening to the customers.

two ton, dragon face, angel and purple dragon dude with blue mask on his face

you know guys, you could always scratch build figures they dont make. Theres a HUGE "mod" community for GI Joe, why not for the turtles. Infact, this has inspired me, expect to see some modded turtles from me in the near future.
