toys never made

[[email protected]]

If the red sky series had new characters how come they never made a toy of DRegg, the soilders that dregg had, mung, Carter and Mutating Turtles( The things the turtles mutated into). They never made Grantor (the one with traagg in Hot Rodding TEenagers from Dimension X) and the Rock Soilders action figures. They never made a mutating baxter human to fly. They should have made the rock soilders since they were main characters. They should have made lotus blossom and the 2 other FROGS. As the years went by, all they made was mainly variations of the Turtles. 1997 was the last year of the old school turtle toys. That was a cooincidience since The old school cartoon went off the airwaves in September 1997, making 1997 the end of the old school series, almost 10 years after the 5-part mini-series.


This is no complaint, but Playmates tends to overdo it with the figures they make, making alot of varations of characters and releasing 2ndary characters (they did that with star Trek and the recent Simpsons line that will cease this summer)

Were there ever turtle toys that never got produced, but were planned. They never even made high tech and they could have made berserko(I never saw the ep of him, but heard of the character), tempestra and Alpha 1. I wonder other characters they should have made. They should have made the techno-rover.

There were a lot of figures that were planned and even prototyped in some cases but never saw release. However, if you are asking if any of the characters from the show were planned, the only one I'm aware of would be Dr. Quease from the TMNT: the next mutation line.

Actually I saw Warrior Rahzar with fur at this cheap store once int he toy thing, I was gona buy it but I didnt have cash. It reminded me of grizzlor from Heman

[TheCloneRanger]

Of all the ones listed, not having a Grantor has bothered me for going on 15 years. He was an important secondary character from Season 1 on, and even showed up in the video games!

What game was he in?
And the only ones I really wanted to see released was the rest of Warriors of the forgotten sewers because Io had half of them and I wanted to know why they never made ones for Leo Mikey and Raph. Cause I had the Don Dwarf and Bebop and Rocksteady they were cool!

WEll the unreleased toys was no big deal since the unreleased toys were just variations of the turtles. I did notice the fact that Dr. Quease was never made. I never found him and assumed that he was not going to be made.

What game was he in?

THE game. TMNT2: The Arcarde Game (though it also came out on the NES). I don't have the stages memorized, but he was at the end of one of the street-level stages. The one between the Cheap-Skate chase, and the Shogun level. He was the boss with the flame thrower.

Or it was another stone soldier aesthetically identical to him. Either way, we needed a figure.

[Brodie]

I thought they did make the stone soldiers toys, I had one, or one that was damn close to how they looked in the TMNT games....

[tmntman]

And the only ones I really wanted to see released was the rest of Warriors of the forgotten sewers because Io had half of them and I wanted to know why they never made ones for Leo Mikey and Raph. Cause I had the Don Dwarf and Bebop and Rocksteady they were cool!

They did make Leo the Barbarian. However, they also had a set planned with Leo and Raph as a sabertooth tiger. As for the other two, Knight Mike and Spell Caster Splinter, they seem to have been VERY close to release and may have even made it to shelves in some places. There wer completed figures shown in some promotional pictures (I remember seeing them in the catalog for Farm and Fleet) But I never saw them in stores. Later though I did find some Canadian carded figures that also showed Knight Mike and Splinter on the backs. So they might have made it to shelves up north or overseas.

if this is true, and somebody owns these and want to sell em please, please let me knope i love dwarf Don!

[Eye of Sarnath]

I have Dwarf Don... he came with this little comic book. I was always dissapointed I couldn't find the rest of the figures (with the continuation of the comic). Well, now I know why I couldn't find them. :ohwell:

I'm pretty sure those were released, unless I'm thinking of somthing else. I remember a mike playset in cyber armour.

They made a General Traag figure, but they did not sculp him exactly like his looks on the cartoon.

[TheCloneRanger]

Yeah, that's the one. I never knew his name until I read the first post in this thread. I just always wanted one.

They never mentioned his name in the show, but I heard it was mentioned in the video game. They made traag, I wondered why they never made graintor. HE is grey, not blue.

There were the Cyber Samurai figures and the Turtle in a Turtle playsets (which is the mike playset you are refering to. But there was another series of cyber armor TMNT figures that were planned that were more streamlined.

[Ryona]

It's a real shame that Playmates didn't have there heads on straight. I mean, come on; there was plenty of characters to make action figures out of, but instead, Playmates made a bunch of variations of a select few of characters. Half of these variation action figures were too silly and just plain stupid. And to top it off, Playmates made a couple of action figures based on characters that they made up! How messed up is all this!?

I'm really hoping that Playmates steers clear from making those same dumba$$ mistakes with the new TMNT.

[Midnight_Tanuki]

I would have liked Jagwar, Dreadmon, Stump&Sling, Trap, and Bellybomb

[Coola Yagami]

well the characters weren't made up. they were just not in the show. In fact it seems the only other characters besides the TMNT, April, Splinter, Shredder, Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang that appeared during the Red Sky eps were Rat King and Casey Jones, without introducing any more toy characters. I mean, all of the 'new guys' like Slash, Muckman, Mutagen Man, etc etc etc were all 'made up' before they appeared on the show. Some characters left out off the show from the earlier 'everyone in the toy gets to be in the show days' were Ace Duck (just a cameo, bot an actual character), Pizzaface and Fugitoid.



As for Granitor, in TMNT 3 Manhattan Project, lots of Granitors appear as minor enemies.

[slashpieturtlemix]

Does anyone know if they had any unreleased for the 2003 show?

[miru]

Cyber Shredder and Starlee.

[slashpieturtlemix]

Sweet. That would help a lot.

[tmnt transformer]

The purple dragon, cyber turtles, secret agent turtles ( minus Don), President Bishop where also unreleased.

It's not really a bump, He had a legitimit question that fits perfectly under this thread. Why not continue to use it?

[Zeppelin]

Does anyone have a picture of any of the never-made itmes? At least a photo for the protocol.

Did you get on board just to be an unofficial moderator? I will NEVER understand why that is so popular here. :trolleye:

no i didnt join just for that, but your right it is popular here, and after seeing others do it so much, at first it kind of annoyed me also, but now i find myself doing the same. i would consider myself more as a traffic director rather than unofficial mod. we cant have too much clutter. i am here to save these forums.

Is that so..?

Because I sure don't see you on our Forum Leader Roster. And I know Krang hasn't given anybody new Mod Powers in a Very long time...

If the only purpose of your being here is to give people grief, then I'm sure you would want me as a moderator to do my job and make things go smoothly for the forums....

[slashpieturtlemix]

Glad to see he is out of here :) touché mods. Made me smile a little today!

[billbot85]

I always wondered if Playmates was a planning on releasing the Neutrino's Star Cruiser (either the blue or red one). I know they made one as the Foot Cruiser, but I wish that they had one for the Neutrino's as well, it could've easily been the same mold.

I had a Zak figure as a kid, and remember myself wishing that he could have a Star Cruiser to fly around in. :tlol:

[OrokuYoshiFilms]

Forgive me guys 'cause I don't remember the figures name, but I just recently got a Jammerhead figure that had a horrible card so upon throwing it in the trash, I noticed a figure on the back. He had a weird cloak on and his feet looked like talons. Was that figure ever made? What was it's name?

[Cowabungawolf89]

There were also unreleased TMNT Fast Forward such as the Inuwashi Gunjin and another set of the fab four with different costumes and their virtual suits

[Archon_Turtle]

This is the unreleased Purple Dragon. He would have had a trench coat.

That looks cool.

[miru]

More 2K3:

Cyber Splinter, Cyber Foot (but no cyber April, oddly. Maybe she would have been a straight redeco or a non-poseable sidekick?)

A Mirage Splinter was planned.

I dont know if anyone else saw it but there was a picture of the cyber turtles, splinter, and shredder. THe turtles looked liked the alien hunter turtles from the 2007 line and splinter was a recolor and shredder looked brand new.

Can someone post a link or pictures.......never seen em.

[slashpieturtlemix]

I love the Purple Dragon. I noticed that Playmates doesn't seem to leak out its prototypes as much as Hasbro and Mattel. I like it so much more this way lol

[miru]

They were also going to do a mutant Komodo Dragon, Gorilla, and Tasmanian Devil in the movie line.

Also, in a bonus video included on the Season 7 Volume 1 DVD, they showed concept art of a Meramon-like flame demon.

I also saw a picture of an Egyptain-themed camel mutant a while back.
