Here is the pic of Shredder with clothes??

Spitfire 12-17-2008 01:42 PM

Well mystery solved that's the figures being re-released. Krang looks like crap and I can't say I like the new paint jobs.

Blade Raider 12-17-2008 01:46 PM

My Eyes!!!

Put on some pants man!

Oh, I'm counting 13 figures with Krang. The limit was 12, so I'm guessing Krang is an extra with Shredder and won't have his body. Oh, and now I should be able to make the Foot army I've been wanting :D

seriously, what is going on with Krang's arms? How the hell do you screw up a recast?

GK Punk 12-17-2008 01:48 PM

Yeah a bit dissapointing. I'll stick with the four TMNT if those are the actual paint schemes. Krang is just puzzling though.

It's the small Krang's Anidroid Body figure, not the original. He fits in Shredder's hand.

Leonardo19 12-17-2008 01:51 PM

Ya the Krang looks like the small one that came with the small Android body.

Spitfire 12-17-2008 01:53 PM

They could have released the big one that came with the bubble walker and larger android body instead. Cause who the hell is gonna pay for that? Unless he comes with someone.

Theres a pretty recent thread about it somewhere around here.

This is worse than simply re-releasing them. WHERE THE F*** ARE SHREDDER'S PANTS?

Samhain 12-17-2008 02:08 PM

is this the new toyfare that came out this week?

it's kinda like having a goatee...so having a goatee and no pants would pretty much make you a super villian.

God I loved that commercial. Didn't even need to hit the Youtube link to know what you were getting at.

"Solomon Grundy want pants too!"

Newton Gimmick 12-17-2008 03:24 PM

I just recently bought an original April. Grrr...

Oh wells. I'm down with the re-releases. Hope they get a wide distribution. I'll pick up another Rocksteady and Bebop... Just because.

Raph's Girl 12-17-2008 03:49 PM

Lesse... I'll get Rocksteady, BeBop, April, Casey, Splinter, and Slash cuz I never got those figs. I have an original run Raph already but I'll probably end up getting the re-release. Maybe if Shredder had pants I might consider getting him as well.

April and Casey have the best looks to em. Rocksteady reminds me of the Rhino guards from Robin Hood.

Are you kidding? The only reason I am getting shredder is because he has no pants!

Newton Gimmick 12-17-2008 03:59 PM

Gotta love the pantsless Shredder variant.

Too bad he'll probably have pants when he hits retail. Forget taking away his pants, they should have given him a shirt.

BoggleKng 12-17-2008 04:10 PM

I always think of this song when I see Shredder sans pants.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePSZcF8yhkE

Blade Raider 12-17-2008 04:12 PM

Yeah, that Shredder has the most comedic value in a TMNT toy since the 90's. I think I'll have to buy him if that's how he ends up:lol:

clockstomper 12-17-2008 04:18 PM

Why redo Shredder like that? Why not replace the blue with silver, and give him a shirt.

Also, why didn't they correct Slash's idiotic pink color scheme? On the plus side, I lost my mini Krang that goes with the Android body. So there's that.

These are probably early shots. I can't imagine they'll actually release a Shredder figure with no pants.

Everything else appears to be almost an identical re-release to the classic figures. So this is probably just an early proto pic.

if they do release a shredder with no pants that would be pretty weird. i would just get him and paint his legs black, lol.

Blade Raider 12-17-2008 04:42 PM

Was just looking at my old Shredder and his leg's plastic is skin tone with everything painted on. I have a hunch that either they didn't finish painting this one or Playmates had to cut back on paint apps. Logically, it's the former, but I run the latter by them.

Newton Gimmick 12-17-2008 04:45 PM

I just find it amusing that they actually used protos instead of just posting pics of the vintage TMNT figures. I mean, they're the exact same. If they'd just shoved an 88 Shredder in that picture no one would have been the wiser.

Maybe it's a proto of the 88 figure before they added pants :P

Shredder looks like a flasher.

And Spitfire that Krang was the one that goes inside the smaller 1994 Krang's android body action figure.

Read my reply to spitfire.


Oh and maybe since it's now confirmed that Slash is part of the list like I told everyone months ago you'll start believing what I tell you.:roll:

Leonardo19 12-17-2008 08:40 PM

Hey Vaughn you have been correct with what you have said so far. Just curious if you do know whats going on with Neca or when we may hear something? We all want them to release more.

that's because I don't lie and neither do the insiders I talk to, why would they want to lie to the fans.
Anyway, I talk about what I believe is going n with NECA in this annoying new thread.
http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=25893
I honestly don't know for sure, and neither does anyone a Mirage but it's a pretty good guess.

Jester 12-17-2008 09:11 PM

Hey, that's my annoying new thread...:P

Ok, the pantless Shredder made me think of this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...PDVD_006-1.jpg

Maybe this is Enter the Fly Shredder, with pantless action!!

Leonardo19 12-17-2008 09:16 PM

LOL great pic Jester!

Cipher 12-17-2008 09:19 PM

"Nudist Shredder" just seems like another one of those fun variant figures.

This pantless Shredhead is comedy gold! In fact, have another caption:
(I didn't use img tags this time because some may find it distasteful. It's a caption of the above pic. You've been WARNED)

Kendamu 12-17-2008 10:53 PM

I can get behind this re-release because I loved the old toys. Kids and people who aren't big enough geeks to get the old toys on eBay or something should love these.

Shredder does need to put some f'ing pants on, though.
