TMNT Classics Collection Wave 3(and subsequent waves)
 

Does anyone have news on what they will be? I am aware they are the 1990 movie turtles but from what I read the whole wave is just all 4 turtles. I was hoping to get a shredder and splinter that are very atriculated like the bebop and rocksteady from wave 2 that I own. Not the first wave shredder and splinter. Any help or news would be GREAT! Thanks :)

Ugh... Thread title got my hopes up for no reason..

If there was news, you'd know it already. We haven't even seen the rest of the turtles yet...

Best bet is to wait until Toyfair's 2014 coverage.

i'm also hoping splinter and shredder are next. a great pair to release together, assuming they only add 2 like they did with B&R.

Course, if they decide these larger, more articulated and better painted figures are something they need to expand on (hint playmates: you do), i'd love to see them release lots more.

I've already said before that I wish we'd get some Nickelodeon figures in the same scale/quality. Nothing is impossible if the sales figures are there.

Best thing you can do is buy all the classics you can, and spread the word on them.

I own 2x of each turtle and 1x of B&R. if they keep up the quality I'll buy every figure they release in this line.

I need OT April, stat!

You guys think they might show something at the London Toy Fair? I think they did last year.. I remember toys being shown before the NY Toy Fair.. I know transformers 4 movie toys will be shown at the London Toy Fair, looking forward to see those as well. I think the event is like 9 days away..

What was wave 2?

Bebop and Rocksteady

You mean 25th anniversary or the Nick Classics?

Yes! I would love April as well as Casey Jones
 

The possibilities are endless but I really wanted those guys. And after the movies it would be nice for them to go back to the original animated series and create some more villains or even allies, like lotus, or something like that. Even the 4kids turtles in this scale and articulation would be great!

As much as I want secondary characters done justice, I'd be a happy dude if they'd just keep pumping out sets of turtles from each universe. 4kids, Mirage, Next Mutation, etc.

Yes!
 

:tmad:That would be amazing. Love the idea of the next mutation. Even if they made ones of the foot soilders or dragon soilders too. That's be cool. I have a feeling they make all these turtles. Hun would be pretty cool in this scale as well. I imagine he'd be very big upper body and decent sized legs like bebop

I hope so! I'll be heading down and if there's anything new I'll try and blag some freebies...

They didn't show much last year, it was all the regular Nick line. I think they had the 4 turtles on display, but no Bebop or Rocksteady.

Misleading title...

I wonder if their expressions will look like this...
Attachment 6197 As we get closer to their reveal in the coming months I get more excited for them. :)

ah, must have been the hong kong toy fair where they showed the new stuff?? i don't remember exactly which one it was but i remember seeing new stuff before NY Toy Fair..

EDIT: ah looks like HK Toy Fair was held a few days ago from 6-9th Jan.. looks like no news came from there.

I would like to have Casey and Baxter in that line but I'm probably just pipe dreaming. That line also seems perfect for Kraang in his android body. That one seems like a no brainer to men. No pun intended.

Yeah I'd like th original Krang
 

I'm surprised they didn't make him but at the same time I'm not cause they didn't make shredder or splinter, like bebop and rocksteady. Plus there's "the kraang" from the new show, so their probably trying to maximize profit out of that.

Yep, me too! I've started the '87 line, so I'll obviously finish them and I'll definitely put money down for 2k3 Turtles. Throw in Splinter and Shredder as an accompaniment [Perhaps in wave refreshers?] and that would be superb.

I think I'd be prepared to pay for the 2012 Turtles too, but 2k3 is an absolute must have for me.

Hey
 

Someone wanna post the Leo pics?

I want more rerelease of the vintage line! Need Krang and Foot Soldier! Course I still need to buy Splinter and the Turtles and The Party Wagon from TRU

Yes!
 

Krang in his suit is a MUST! Same with foot soldiers.

That's cool...looking for more before you get the ones that are out!! I say go get em before they are sold out.
I think we will see the original 10 revisited before we get anything else, so I'd expect the next four to be Rocksteady, Bebop, April, and your foot soldier.

Yeah
 

These sell out so fast and the pricings on toys r us sites and amazon are relatively high.

I'd like to see them switch to a subscription based model, with a new figure released every month. The Ultimate goal being to release every figure from the vintage line, while also releasing characters that never had a figure (for example, characters that were only ever in the cartoon).

Yes!
 

That would be amazing. I would specifically like the "punk frogs" much like they made bebop and rocksteady. Usagi would be nice as well.

Just a friendly comment..... you don't have to give each of your posts a title. It'll save you some time. Just leave that field blank.

Oh yeah I know.
 

It's just a force of habit.

Cool beans. It's kinda like your trademark now.

True that :ohwell:

Haha yeah
 

I guess so. I'm just so excited for this line. There should be more coverage at the toy fair. Somebody wanna post the Leo pics just cause?

I agree with you on the 2k3 versions Seek, I love the idea of making a "Turtles Forever" display alongside the 87 turtles. I wouldn't mind a Next Mutation or the Mirage versions of them either. Just because the TV show sucked doesn't mean the older figures did and just because NECA made their own comic style turtles doesn't mean Playmates can't either. Perhaps their versions would top NECA's

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!:lol:

Wow

Mind blown. Haha I'm with you on everything. But I'm not sure a turtles forever would be that good IDEA. Like If the turtles forever was the only 2k3 turtles like then yes. But I don't see doubling down on 2k3 turtles and 87 turtles when they will look the same.

I can't see Playmates being competent enough to make Mirage turtles, especially when their own comic based figures was dropped after they screwed up for NECA, and even those prototypes from Playmates was rather lackluster.

If they can't do a proper Classics line, which we have seen as the turtles are neither cartoon or toy based, or even a hybrid of them and Bebop & Rocksteady looks so drastically different in design with the turtles. I have very low expectations that they even consider doing mirage classics, and honestly I don't think I'd buy any "classics" based on the mirage turtles, cause they wouldn't look right anyway.

Laugh if you want to. Either way we'll see what they'll do next. Some people doubted me when I said we might get the movie turtles and now it's happening. So until the line gets cancelled I'll hang on to the possibility.

I donno, I'm not overly impressed with the shown Leo prototype based off the live-action movie, that his face is taken from one of the stunt masks, he got a very blank expression, and the real product will most likely have the bare minimal paint app, which will do the movie turtles a big disservice as well.

At first I didn't like the face either but it kinda grew on me. Regardless of what their expressions will look like I'm still gonna get them.

Personally for me, unless the rest of the turtles are impressive, they are a easy pass for me. I already have a decent enough but grossly oversized set of turtles.

I think movie turtles could have been great to pose with other figures, but their scale are so oversized it doesn't look any good next to the usual 6 inch scale figures that I collect.
