Movie Shredder is out
 
Someone I know found 2 shredders, a sloth monster, and the turtle variants in IL.

1,000th post! Damn I need to get a life. But I thought you should all know to keep an eye out!

CyberCubed 07-30-2007 11:44 PM

Awesome, I've been waiting for these.

Someone should take pics with their cell phone if they don't buy them. :p

Roseangelo 07-30-2007 11:48 PM

Rats! And I'm in IL right now, but with no transportation and no clue where the nearest Target/WalMart is!!

soccerstud652 07-30-2007 11:57 PM

I'm heading out tomorrow, will pick up if I find it and post detailed pics.

Janus Prospero 07-31-2007 12:00 AM

Sweet. I was running out of things for the turtles to do on my desk.

VaughnMichael 07-31-2007 12:01 AM

Krueger 07-31-2007 07:41 AM

That is awesome. I'm so there...need to pick that bad boy up.

Greenteam4 07-31-2007 08:55 AM

....just when I thought I was done buying my precious Turtle toys....at least until 2008 :P

cowabunga14 07-31-2007 03:06 PM

I'm thinkin' I'll head out sometime this week to buy the figure.

HalfcourtGame 07-31-2007 03:12 PM

Couldn't find any new Movie toy at Target or Wal-Mart today. :tsad:

Toonami Tom 07-31-2007 03:19 PM

I'm glad he's released. I can't wait to find him at the store.:) Thanks for the news.

Ninjinister 07-31-2007 03:42 PM

I'm going out this weekend to get TWO Shredders and a Ghost of the Jungle Leo! F%& YEAH!

Raph's Girl 07-31-2007 03:49 PM

SW33T!! Im heading to Wal-mart tomarrow and Target on Friday so hopefully either one of those stores will have em! With the movie out on DVD next Tuesday (Aug 7th) it's no real surprise that the new toys are out...but still... I want the Sloth and Ghost of the Jungle Leo! I might get Shredder if he looks good enough...

Spitfire 07-31-2007 04:29 PM

ooo My butts going to Target today.

soccerstud652 07-31-2007 05:42 PM

Did not have them @ my target.

Krueger 07-31-2007 06:42 PM

My target didn't have a trace of em! All they had were the four brothers. A waste of trip for me...:-?

General Traag 07-31-2007 08:36 PM

They made a toy for a character that isn't even in the movie? ^°

Those guys surely love merchandising eh?

Huh?? What u talking about? Shredder was in the movie...he was in the opening credits! :P

shuriken 07-31-2007 09:56 PM

yeah that's playmates for ya. It looks cool but I'm more interested in the old school figs.

Spitfire 08-01-2007 12:28 AM

No sign at Wal-mart only some turtles, 2 FF figures and 2 2K3 figures.

Oh well Target probably won't have it either.

What are you, kidding? Have you seen the Spiderman 3 line? Doctor Ock, Lizard, and Rhino figures? Deleted scenes, perhaps?!

GK Punk 08-01-2007 07:45 AM

Well, the Spider-Man 3 line was refered to as the classics line as well.

General Traag 08-01-2007 07:47 AM

Lol, allright, allright.

I must have missed the 3,5 secs where you can see old shredhead in the new movie.
And i'm not that familiar with toys so i automatically assumed a toy from a character which gets barely even mentioned in the movie would be something unusual.
I simply wasn't aware that toy companies are milking kids that bad. :p

odupianist 08-01-2007 07:59 AM

After watching the Tribunal season yesterday, I'm thinking that the "movie" Shredder looks like the Tengu Shredder.

ToTheNines 08-01-2007 08:12 AM

Yeah he does lol, only less zombified.

Ninjinister 08-01-2007 12:36 PM

I never realized that. Hmm... I was wondering why the movie Shredder looked like one thing, the video game Shredder was basically a shiny 2K3 Shredder, and the figure looked nothing like either!

Drtooth 08-01-2007 01:07 PM

I don't even have the 4 Turtles, Splinter and Casey yet.

*runs off to Wal-Mart*

Krueger 08-02-2007 01:37 AM

Is this guy for real?
 
I know it is on ebay but why can't this guy be found anywhere else? Maybe it is too early and I'm just impatient but I stopped by the Toys R Us in Times Square, NY and there was no trace of the Shred Head. If you know anything about this Toys R Us, it is gigantic and has a huge amount of toys there. There was an avalanche of TMNT toys. They had all of em except him and that Sloth dude... I demand more evidence of his existence.

No signs of them on the east coast yet I'm in Pittsburgh,p.a. and I've been to 5 stores and not a sign of them but it really does depend on what store you go to because each one is differnt when it comes to stolking it's shelves.
Most walmarts take forever to do this while target does it more often than not.
But I try to keep an eye out in every place.
Be patient these will be everywhere soon enough.

Toonami Tom 08-02-2007 08:25 AM

Yeah, I agree, toy companies milk kids badly. That's why there were so many turtle variants in the past and Batman.

Introducing Batman in a green suit with big purple claws!:D I'm not kidding, I saw a figure similar, if not just like that when I went to the store.:lol:

Well theres not really much one can do with batman.
But I'll give playmates credit for their past work atleast back in the day every single turtle figure had a brand new sculpt and made the figures fresh with new box art unlike now everythings so generic.

I agree with you for the most part but they had their share of the same figure/sculpt with different variants. Do you know how many variants there are of Genghis Frog? Take a wild guess!

METALHEAD 08-02-2007 04:45 PM

:tgrin: :tgrin: :tgrin: :tgrin: :tgrin: :tgrin: Great!new TRANSFORMERS assortments movie delux coming this month, GIJOE 12inch adventure team walmart exclusive figures for 10 bucks out this month. tmnt original series coming out ondvd as well as a movie dvd & GIJOE 25th anniversery figures and now TMNT toys XD damn i'm gonna make my mum mad with all the spending :trolleye: >.> good thing my b/f doesnt have a problem with it.:trazz:

Those aren't actual variants those are mistakes and changes made during the production of the figure it's self.
What I'm talking about are figure variants as in costume changes every single figure from the orignal line sans the released repaint warriors at the very end of the line where all orignal sculpts.
Btw yes I know about every figure and box variant ever those don't count like I said.
It's a shame they can't bring this sort of creativty and quality to the line today.
