Toy Sculpt Sneak Peek!
 

For those of you who aren't subscribed to Dan Berger's Official TMNT List, they've got some cool sneak peek looks at some upcoming action figure sculpts. One is of Silver Sentry's arch nemesis, Dr. Malignus and a Shredder Clone from the upcoming Return to New York saga.

That's awesome! Does this mean we might be getting a silver sentry, and a turtle titan?

Very nice, very nice. Hopefully this does indeed mean that Silver Sentry and Turtle Titan are on the way. I can give or take SS or Dr. M. But TT is an actual variant costume for Mikey that appears in the cartoon. :)

I'd love a Silver Sentry figure!

Yeah, Silver Sentry looked cool..but his voice sucked..peh..

Anyways, that Shredder Clone looks hella cool. Ya shoulda put spoilers before that link, because it's spoiling what Shredder Clone looks like.

Heh, I'm excited that they're gonna look like the ones from the comics. I wonder how they're gonna explain them, though, since in the comic they were failed attempts at recreating the original Shredder.

Hey, they'll design clones for all sorts of weird reasons. I mean who knows what they made Minime for in Austin Powers when Dr. Evil wasn't even dead?

They made mineme because Dr. Evil didn't like his own son(scott)

So they'll make clones because Shredder doesn't like himself. :lol:

Actually, it isn't a spoiler if you've read the old comics. That design is right out of them.

My question is how did Shredder knock up a lobster?

Yes, but what about someone who hasn't read the old comics? The only TMNT comics I've read were:

Volume 1 Issue 1 (on the official site)
Volume 4 Issues 6-8 (I own them)

I think since they are sculpting the toys, we are going to see them in the cartoon first. Dan dosent know when the toys are coming out so I don't thenk we will see them untill the show has already explained their existance.

Shredder's lookin' a little crabby there heheheh, I guess when they finally explain it, he wont look so odd lol. But odd is good, I want it!
They both look really cool! I hope the shredder clone IS in the show and not just part of say a Mutant line of figures. Even if its not its still awsome :)

Well as far as I know they are really sticking to the toys being from the show, this can be good and bad. I want to see remakes of old figures that I cant see appearing in the new show simplt because it would make me too happy.

Dr. Malignus I guess I could do without... I'll wait to see what he looks like finished. I guess this means that they will be a Silver Sentry, I mean, it would be pretty stupid to have Dr. Malignus but not the Silver Sentry. The Shredder clone as far as I'm concerned is perfect. They got the look down (but I would've expected, say, a Baxter before a Shredder clone, because he plays a larger part in the show. So the descision is rather puzzling).

And the Shredder clones are certainly going to be in the series.

wow those look sweat!

eww shredder is gonna look like that in the show?

Yep. It's what he was like in the comics. Atleast it's better than all the mutants in the old show. :lol:

Are they going to keep regular shredder too? Cause i wouldnt mind if regular shredder was still there...he looks badass

He'll be there, dude!

THANK GOD! In that case the shredder clone is awesome.

They're pretty much gonne be failed attempts to make an exact clone of him.

Take a gander.

ooooh I see! Cool! Dammit, i wish my local comic shop didnt close down so long ago, look what I'm missing out on :cry:

These are gonna be sweet. I'm really starting to like this line of figures and I can't wait for the these new ones (and the foot tech ninja/nano/elite guard).

the new series of toys is getting better becouse now we are getting new figures/charecters not just new versions.

You know, I've always wondered what the hell "gander" meant..now I know. Thank you.

Whoa that shredder clone toy looks tso awesome!! *makes a note that he will hae to get that*

do what I did go to the offical turtle site and order it from them, or try ebay, thats what I did :D

When are being released in stores because I can't wait.

They haven't said yet. Probably middle of next year.

The Shredder Clones are three of my favorite characters from the comic, I almost hyperventalated when I first saw these pics, the clones looks soooo freakin' cool, looks exactially like in the comics!!!!

Oh, and I thought Dr. Malignus was a cool brand new villian. He has a great design and I'll be happy to own the figure, and of course they have to make Silver Century to go along with him, and I really hope they make a Turtle Titan figure too. That was such a great eppisode, proved that 4kids is cappable of making their own good stories, even without adapting mirage.

I wonder if the other two clones will be made into figures too?

from just looking at that pic there, they look pretty cool, so I'm hoping they make the other 2 as well :D

Whoa! :o Cool! :D

Why or who tried to clone the Shredder in the comic book? Also, why, if they were trying to clone him, did he come out in 3 different looking versions? :-?

I just hope these new figures will be a tad more articulated. The first wave of new TMNT figures was great with the ball-jointed shoulders & hips, but after that they seem to be going with the "are-figures-have-no-hip-articulation-so-they-can-never-ever-sit-down" type of articulation. Maybe they should bring back the old socket-jointed hips like on the original figures. That worked kinda well & they at least could sit down (sorta, but more so then these new guys).

Well, if you've read the first issue of TMNT Vol. 1, you know that The Shredder was knocked off a building and then quite...exploded. Kinda hard to live through that, I'd say. So the foot clan took it upon themselves to find the Shredder and make a close of him using these special worms. Those clones are the 1st failed attempts until they successfully created The Shredder we see in TMNT vol. 1 issue #10.

Ohhh...Okay. So, wait, if the clones are in the cartoon, then I wonder if the Shredder that was seen in the last 2 episodes aired (that 2-parter when Leo gets the smack knocked outta him) is the final perfected clone of ol' Shred-head? :o :-?

-Snailman

Nope, he definitly survived that last battle on the show. Keep in mind that the new Shredder costume is able to endure alot.

Oh, okay. Then maybe he bites the big one later in season 2, or maybe they just clone him for the heck of it? :-?

-Snailman

If you read the episode descriptions you can kind of figure out why they did. They should be somewhere in the new tmnt forum.
