NEW set of TMNT statues from Sideshow

Man all these statues and turtle collectibles coming out is getting crazy. I always liked turtles because it was manageable to collect but in the past few years it's just gotten away from me. The teaser is cool. Similar to the other sideshow set they're a fresh interpretation and not based on previous material.

of course like most sideshow/hot toys products they are ****ing expensive.

Pretty sharp! I wanna say I like these better than their last set, at least where Leo is concerned.

Meh, I'm burnt out on all the TMNT stuff. There's simply too much to keep up with, or to care about.

Seems like such a short time ago that being a TMNT completionist was relatively easy. Anymore, it's like a car payment that never goes away.

The teaser doesn't do much for me, honestly. I have the Playmates statues, I have the Sideshow coms, and I'm leaning towards the Prime 1 Henson set. I have the Mondo set on order. What other iteration of turtles do I need, short of a legitimate set of toon turtles statues?

They look to be based off of this print they are doing.

Nice catch!

And yeah, I hear you I Crave Pizza No More. Whens enough enough? I have the Playmates ones, the Sideshow ones(+2 Mousers), and I skipped out on the Platinum Dunes movie statues for obvious reasons, but the Jim Henson designs have me very interested.

And you know where they all are? In my closet, in a box :( Until I have good enough space for them, there is where they'll remain.

These new ones look very cool, but I gotta draw the line somewhere. I'm thinking the lines here.

I just hope they aren't 1/5. I'll buy at least raphael

Here is another site that has an actual picture of the new Sideshow Raphael statue in the top left hand corner.

It's definitely a more realistic imagining of the turtles this time around. A lot of nice textures on the bandana, wraps, and belts as well as the skin. I'm up in the air about getting any of these for now until I see a full reveal.

Yea.....too many things for collecting and every time less cash! lol ...i actually so happy with the first Sideshow ones....Got all 4 brothers red bandanas....
Its very interesting tho. for all people that didnt get the first wave..and now they have the chance to get a new set ..seems a pretty one...but im not into collecting all....:twink:

They look awesome, me want!

But seriously, they need to stop pumping out TMNT collectibles, we're being way too spoiled at the moment. At least give us some time to breathe before we get more collectibles to drowl over.

I wish I could afford all this new TMNT stuff! These look like they are gonna be awesome.

Maybe I'm alone in this, but I can't imagine paying over 2 grand for 4 TMNT statues. You could get an amazing TMNT piece of art instead, hell you could probably get a movie prop too.

I would consider those statues to be an amazing piece of TMNT art.

I'm loving all of these statue lines. They are worth every penny. Marvel and DC release statues like this all of the time, through Sideshow, and sometimes for more than $500. I have never encountered a TMNT quality piece which had a completely absurd price tag. Plus, the value of these will go up.

I finally decided to switch to only Donatello for these high end pieces. I'd like to have them all, but I'd rather have 1 of each compared to missing some all together.

At least it allows me to grab the Prime 1 Henson Donnie now.

I'll just stick to Mondo for my full set as I've already gotten all those. I hope they continue that for years to come.

They're definitely cool, but $2K for a mass-produced piece of art is a bit nuts. They're like really nice prints. Personally, $50ish isn't bad for a cool figure or statue. Personally, when the price starts hitting three and four-figures, a TMNT piece better have pretty strong ties to the movies or early comics.

There's obviously a market for mass-produced pieces at that price point, though. Certain TMNT Mondo prints sell for crazy amounts of money!

This looks like an attempt at Rapoza?

Kinda odd looking. iI was never a fan of his style, so you mileage may something something...


EDIT: I need to learn to read.

It's not $2K for a piece of art though. It's four pieces. And it is four huge pieces, that connect into an even more huge piece. But you also have the option of just getting any one of the four and it will still be an amazing centerpiece. I understand how it can be tough to imagine being able or willing to drop that kind of money for anything that isn't a form of transportation or a home, but if you ever get a chance to see any of these in person, the idea of suggesting a price tag of $50 will seem like a bad joke. You still may not immediately run out to sell a kidney for them. But you will understand why they carry a hefty price.

I love that Sideshow is still supporting the TMNT brand, but the style of these doesn't appeal to me at all. Easy pass. :ohwell:

I'm not a fan of this style either.... Something just looks off to me. I still love the first SS line......I wish they made Casey

Came across these. Thought I'd share.

Im not sure how I feel about these. I would love to see a price point and complete images of these before making any kind of decision. Lots of high priced TMNT stuff releasing lately and this would have to fight pretty hard for my money.

I'm pretty sure they'll announce Leo tomorrow. I'm going to guess right now that it's at least $350.

Love the realistic turtle face on Leo!

So many statue options...getting hard to keep track of them all

The beak is strong with this one

I don't see the appeal of this look at all.

Leo is $350 and goes onsale tomorrow. The exclusive is limited to 500 and comes with a red bandana head. There are tons of pics on Figures.com

I am glad I got the first Sideshow statues for $200 each!! Seems like they are really taking advantage of those who missed then.....almost doubling the price in only a couple of years. I got my massive 24" premium Sideshow Master Chief for $400...and these are 10" smaller!! I'm glad I'm not a fan of the style of these but good luck to those going for the exclusive tomorrow!!

These are live.

I jumped on this. I actually like the set and I can make them "red team"

Nice....congrats! Is there even a regular version or just the "exclusive,"? Does the reg go onsale once the exclusive is sold out.

Not shipping till May-July 2017?? That's just crazy to me

No idea. I just want to be able to build red team.

I like the not shipping till later thing because I can use the monthly payment plan. The plan doesn't even start charging me 40/mo until December this year.

I mean... yeah. I don't mind the designs, they're a little chunky for my tastes, but I like them more than, say, BayTurtles. That said, I don't see the appeal in paying $350 a pop for a redesign/"reimagining" kind of look like this.

What would be cool is if they'd do lines patterned after iconic comic artist's styles, like the Batman Black & White statues. Do a set of statues in an A.C. Farley style, or Mateus Santolouco, or Eric Talbot...

Good ideas...

I really like this style myself. There are pics of all 4 on Sideshow in an art print.

I love this design. Maybe I am alone...thats fine. I am buying.

They are also pretty huge...15x10x13. That might explain the costs a bit.

I like them not sure if I'll order these since I already got an order from mondo and the Eastman turtles.

this is kinda how I wish they looked in the bay movies.

I agree. Replace Bay turtles with these guys...

I know I am in the minority on this one, but I think this is amazing...

I like the designs a lot, but I can't afford them :)
I shall live vicariously thru those that can, so please post a lot of pics when you get them!

Is there a release date for the other Turtles? Who is next?

The paint job enhances the look a lot, in my opinion. Still going to pass, but it looks a lot better than I originally thought.

Better than Bay turtles, no doubt, but still not as endearing as the mirage, toon, Henson, or other familiar designs.

Really dislike the black gloves Leo is wearing.

I wasn't going to buy them, but at an edition size of 500 it will sell out rather quickly. Figure if I don't like it in person it will be easier to sell it later than it will be to track it down later.

* And as of about midnight the day of release, it's already sold out. This of you who aren't familiar with how Sideshow works can now join the waitlist, which doesn't guarantee an order, but also doesn't require a deposit unless the your order converts, which Sideshow will notify you about should the order convert.
