Jagwar is a no go *booo playmates!*
 

Yeah, I really want to hear the story behind this move.

Well whatever the story is I'm sure the name of the party involved starts with a P.:roll:

I'm trying really hard not to jump to that conclusion. Really. But yeah... that's pretty much what I expect it is. :dead:

Yeah, since we both know playmates wants to make a retro line.
This is getting pretty bad, It's like we invited him to our homes for dinner and he peed all over the food. ugh!
It seriously makes me want to scream!:x

Global Mutant Missions....?

P-- Putrescent?? :o OMG! Why'd ya saboutage your own dream? You're a confusing dude, dude...

Sorry. Just had to. This is a dark day for us all. R.I.P. Jagwar fig... :tcry:

Dang, I hate to hear that the figure was cancelled. It seems that the guy with the "P" in his name is trying to destroy the TMNT Playmates Toy line if he is the reason for this.

Make way for the one million different crappy turtle variants and dumb looking aliens.:roll: Yeah, that's what kids and collectors want.:roll:

I wish there was a way for Playmates to sneak in a movie style Venus figure, just to tick off 'Mr. P' really badly.:D

Murphy posted the reason why on his blog:

Yeah... I'm not even going to touch that one.
So someone there says the four turtles sell the best? Tell that to the 1000000 rediculous varients still on the shelves.

Of course, I don't even care at this point. I'm just going to get the movie figures, the minis, and that's it. Neca. Neca.

Ah the heck with it, I think I'm done with this toy line.

Bring on the NECA TMNT!:)

I'm so sick of them making molds and not using them.

yeah it's gettin' pretty moldy around here.:lol:
Um so I'm friggin sick of this crap also I don't even buy any of the turtles like ever..I would consider it if they at least made new sculpts for each figure but they dont they just keep messing things up more and more.
Smooth move Playmates.:roll:

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooo Dddddddddddddddddaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnn This World! First The Adventure Team 8inch Gijoe Figures And The Rest Of The Gijoe 8inch Line Being Canned Now This????!!!??? Nothings Right Anymore! *sobs Cries Crawls Under A Rock*

yeah you know seriously F playmates this is a huge kick in our teeth.
I'm glad Peter didn't have anything to do with this I'd hate to think he's that hatefull of his past. But one can never be to sure since we haven't seen the man say a word since the last issue of vol.4 of tmnt.

OK I say we as a TMNT fan community not buy Playmates toys save the "lesser known villains and allies" although we probably know those characters and their birth dates...:P

That's all I do buy anyway, I seriously don't see it as how they say it considering all I ever see sitting collecting dust on shelves is the 4 turtles and maybe april.
And maybe if they updated their sculpting so the toys dont look like they came from a happymeal they'd sell better.

I agree, I don't need 20 different versions of Raph, though he's my favorite.

My rules are simple, I buy the TMNT varients I like and ignore the ones I don't like.

I ignored the Street Grindin' Turtles as well as the Auto-Attack Turtles, but I'm going to get all 4 Mutatin' Turtles again.

I don't see how they figure the non turtle characters don't sell. I see more turtles left over on the shelf than the non turtle characters. Idiots...

It's simple. Since there are four turtles, and they're the stars of the franchise, there's a million and one ways that they can look at cold, hard stats to see that these are more likely to sell. Factor in some deluded interpretations on how this means no one is interested in the other characters, and you have Playmates' logic. ^_^

I hate to say this, but the type of people on this message board are by far the minority when it comes to who buys ninja turtles toys. While people like us may not get it, the turtles do sell more. Look around on ebay at parents selling kids toys:

This is all stuff someone bought for their kids.

Hardcore fans talk to other hardcore fans who all share similar opinions so its easy for them think everyone agrees with their point of view, but people like us really only make up a small percentage of the market.

I am 100% with you guys in wanting more characters over more turtles, but all of those crazy looking stupid costumed turtles DO sell as long as the toy line is marketed to kids. I know I don't like it, but just because we all agree doesn't mean playmates doesn't know what they're doing.

Damn, I'm glad my mom let me choose my own figures as a kid.:dead:

The turtles sell more because they package more in the boxes, then the toy collectors go to the store, buy up ALL the non-turtles, and all the kids have left to buy are the turtles.

I used to buy Spider-man figures like crack as a kid and I had about 90 Spider-mans because adults would buy all the Green Goblins and Venoms. I knew it was adults because I'd ask why they never had any and that was how it was explained to me. Now I know it's the retard toy companies to blame and not the collectors.

If they'd f'ing ship a decent amount of secondary characters in a case or made more they'd sell better. Not every freaking line has to have a turtle in it. It works for Batman and Spider-man because there aren't four heroes that have to be represented.

Does anyone even buy the first wave turtles still?

Who do you like better?

Jungle Leo / Leonardo (My answer: Jungle Leo)
Monster Capture Raph / Raphael (My answer: Monster Capture Raph)
Extreme Sports Mikey / Michelangelo (My answer: Extreme Sports Mikey)
Surveillance Don / Donatello (My answer: Donatello because of the spy gear:lol:)



But Still Jaguar was a great figure! :cry::cry::cry:

I like Mike and Don of the first wave. Raph and Leo of the second wave.
