SDCC Exclusive Shredder
 

Hey folks. Nick and Playmates will have an exclusive Shredder at SDCC. Looks to be along the lines of the Night Shadow Leo. I don't know how to post a direct link, but there is a pic floating around out there on www.figures.com if interested.

It was posted in the 2013 TMNT toys thread already. That sucker is badass.

I wish I go to SDCC to get him, he's so cool looking. Anyone know how much these exclusive figures (this Shredder, Night Shadow Leo) go far at the actual convention?

damn i want one

Im sure there will be thousands available on Amazon for less than the show + free shipping :lol:

WOW.... I mean like.... Holy Fu..... ya i got nothing to say other then what everyone else has said. i want one.

Should be easy to buy online after SDCC just like the leonardo figure from last year. BUT... I think this one will be much more popular than leo because it actually looks GOOD. I plan on buying one asap.

If you don't get one or can't afford one... don't worry, it's just a variant of "shredder 2" a basic figure that will be on shelves later this year. the retail version won't have the chrome or base. oh and the paint job on this one MIGHT be better but who knows

price at convention is likely 39.99. if it does have a paintjob like that pic shows (not the chrome, the other paint apps) then IMO it's worth that price. the retail version is sure to be inferior

The figure looks nice. Some articulation as well. I can't tell whether all of the armor is removable, but that would be amazing. I wish these figures came in window boxes rather than closed boxes for MIB collectors like myself. Should be a popular figure.

*whew!* I thought that WAS Shredder 2. Cool...

He sure looks nice, but with the lack of elbow articulation, I don't think he'll replace by first Nick Shredder figure.

Maybe if I get the SDCC chrome one for a pretty penny

his size is what interests me more says he is about 5.75 inches tall..i want a nice shredder for my turtles display

I think Leo was $29.99 last year. Maybe $39.99. But as someone else pointed out, Leo was available all over after SDCC last year--and often for less than the show price. That said, I won't take any chances and I'll probably wait in line again to make sure I get one.

got to have it. No matter how much I hate SDCC stuff.

Check out the epic box that this bad boy comes in!

Pretty sure this is going to be my favorite Shredder figure to date, do wish he had more articulation though.

He was eventually $24.99 on Amazon for a few weeks until it sold out

I won't be at SDCC but I will be hunting for him online! Looks great

32 bucks.

I'm guessing this Shredder will eventually be available at Toys R Us like the Night Shadow Leonardo.

:teek: amazing!!! Did anyone on here get one of these?

SDCC means San Diego Comic Con, which has not happened yet.

Oh. I knew what SDCC meant but I didn't know it didn't start yet.

shut up and take my money!!!

Sorry for the double post, but I thought this warranted it.

A PR person for Playmates has confirmed for me that this figure will be available after the convention.

thanks for sharing that info, sounds like it will be like the limited Night Shadow Leo, not very limited after all. ;)

So, where else will it be available after the convention? TRU?

Seems like I might get one after all, a friend of mine is going to SDCC. He said he'll try to pick up a second Shredder for me.

Looking at that Shredder figure and thinking back to last year, I'm a little dissapointed in the exclusives that Playmates offers for TMNT SDCC. So far they offered the Night Shadow Leonardo which was basically a fixed-pose/strangely colored version of the regular Leonardo figure and now this year we get a different paint/chrom app version of a Shredder figure that will be released later this year.

I guess I should be grateful for any SDCC exclusives but when you compare Playmates to other toy manufactures that utilize SDCC for releasing unique/obscure characters or figures (that generally wouldn't do well in a mass retail distribution) it seems like we sort of get the shaft with TMNT. I mean how cool would it be to get something like a two-pack of Pulverizer in turtle and foot ninja garb? Or characters that probably wouldn't warrant a mass retail release such as Dr. Falco, Pete the Pigeon, or April's father?

Anyhow, just my two cents.

I agree that Playmates could definitely manage better exclusives, but I think all of these ideas would be horrible.

This panel is scheduled SDCC:


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Action Figure Showcase
Members of the mutant marketing team for Playmates Toys-the master toy licensee for TMNT since the 1980s-prepare to "unleash shell," discussing what's now, new, and next for the articulated heroes on a half-shell. Get sneak peeks at future toys (perhaps some from season 2 of the Turtles' animated series or the upcoming TMNT movie), and ask questions of "team green" members who've worked on all three incarnations of the Turtles since their debut decades ago.

Very interesting...

I thought with the confirmation of Casey Jones, it would be really fitting if they release a Casey Jones variant figure instead. Maybe with an alternate mask or a hockey stick with SDCC exclusive engraved on it.

Upcoming movie toys??!?! :thyper:

Season 2 figures? Awww yes.

Casey and Karai please.

It takes about a year for a figure to go from concept to distribution. So in all likelihood, Casey Jones as a figure is still in pre-production, and if shown at SDCC would be as concept art or a hand-painted prototype. I'd say November or December at the earliest for tooling.

Back of the box:

Sigh. Thanks for making your SDCC exclusive not actually exclusive...again. At least they let the cat out of the bag ahead of the convention this time, though.

You would prefer if it could ONLY be purchased at SDCC? Why? for value? Who cares! It's just plastic. Let more people buy it and enjoy it. I don't understand people like this.

so that they can turn around and sell it for $$$$$ to ppl who could not attend SDCC..
