Playmates Toys will be offering new 6″ Turtles that are a mash up between Turtles and WWE. While no photography was allowed, we were the first to see these in person even before WWE. These are quite an interesting take on both franchises and we feel that it brings them together nicely.

The figures will include:

Mikey as Randy Savage
Leo as John Cena
Raph as Sting
Donnie as The Undertaker

These figure will have slightly less articulation than the other 6″ figure offerings. They will also come with some WWE accessories like a garbage can, steel chair that does not fold, and various other accessories.

They will also be available at Wal-Mart first in November 2016, then everywhere else in Spring 2017

since this kind of took over the usagi thread i figured i'd make one for it specifically.

Discuss all news/notes/opinions below.

thundermaster612 08-07-2016 06:33 PM

Well... no offense but you could've asked them to move it to the 2016 toys discussion. I don't think their important enough to have their own thread considering their only making the turtles and its just a small branding of a wave. Also I think I may have seen the Leo one in a YT vid showing off Playmates SDCC. But it may not be it. I'll try to find it later.

Coola Yagami 08-07-2016 06:44 PM

No, I disagree. This did kinda warrant it's own thread if only because the main 2016 toy thread has so many pages you'd never even know about it unless someone PM-ed you about it. I'm surprised they went with Macho Man. He seems to be the only classic of the line up since Undertaker still wrestles like once a year or so.

turtlefanforever 08-07-2016 07:08 PM

yeah

i can def see Mikey as Savage but Raph as sting is kind of a head scratcher. But Donnie and Undertaker are nothing alike but i approve of that cause Undertakers my favorite wrestler haha.

Character wise i'd go Raph as Lesnar or Stone cold but wouldn't translate to a toy well, so i understand the Sting choice.

The Deadman 08-07-2016 08:09 PM

The Raph/Sting connection I think goes with the whole vigilante angle etc although hed probably be better off as Randy Orton.

snake 08-07-2016 08:16 PM

I kinda wish they used Hogan. Yeah, yeah, I know, but he would've been a shoe-in for this series

wpugh2424 08-07-2016 08:22 PM

Why not include more Tmnt/WWE hybrid characters
Like shredder as the taker and so on ...
Just a thought

EddieNES 08-07-2016 09:32 PM

I kinda wish they never mixed wwe and turtles. It's lame if you ask me. Sure I grew up on stone cold and dx, but I don't like the idea. Especially with Playmates doing it.

But I'll still get Donnie.

OrokuYoshiFilms 08-07-2016 09:48 PM

Ok wrestling AND TMNT fans.....I love it.
I for one was extremely excited but that was because I assumed they were the basic nick assortment with wrestler paint apps. I've always been biased to 5 inch figures. Maybe because the first figures I ever had were TMNT but I just love that scale and the first Nick turtles are my absolute favorite turtles.

...anyway as a lover of both franchises a Splinter in a Ric Flair robe would just be so....just....damn.

...the Owen Hart thing was harsh.

I think this whole idea is stupid but I agree with you. Pretty funny after all these years of Macho being a black sheep of WWF/E he's chosen over hogan probably due to all his legal stuff last year.

I appreciate what they were trying to do here but they should've just done STUMP variants

Donnie 08-08-2016 07:28 AM

Haha, I never would have thought I'd see something like this. It's a crazy idea but I like it. I grew up watching Savage and Hogan, and as a young kid I loved DX and the Brood and the Hardy Boyz. I still watch WWE for laughs when I catch it on. I'll get Michelangelo, because Savage was always my favorite classic wrestler.

I got excited because i thought this was a thread for using WWE accessories as diorama kit.
Nevermind, as you were

wpugh2424 10-21-2016 01:00 PM

WWE youtube channel has a vid of Zack Ryder opening Leo as John Cena. Apparently, he will be doing the other 3 videos as well.

nellyp 10-22-2016 08:08 PM

The Raphael/Sting video went up today.

Also on pixel Dans YouTube channel he mentioned that he saw the TMNT/WWE figures behind closed doors at SDCC and was under NDA not to talk about them till the reveal but there were more shown than just these 4.

wpugh2424 10-23-2016 12:54 AM

I'll have to check dans video
Thanks

Has a price been mentioned yet?

I will definitely get all four if at basic figure price, $8.99. But I have a feeling with the larger packaging and scale I'm not going to be that lucky.

I'm thinking $19.97 is going to be the price. Same as the SOTO classic collection figures. But hope I'm wrong.

kaptainmyke 11-01-2016 12:16 AM

I preordered a full set at ringside collectibles for $95

BlueKatana 11-01-2016 12:20 AM

Yeah, the bigger scale is pushing me to pass on these the more I see of them.

justforapic 11-01-2016 12:23 AM

I like the creative turtle variants, but for some reason, these just don't appeal. If you like them, that's great.

So 23.75 per figure. But I guess shipping is involved with the 95.00. Thought these are Walmart exclusive. Guess not if Ringside has them. Also I was way of with my price guessing. lol not the first time that's happened. :lol:

Well, Ringside generally has somewhat jacked up prices for their wrestling toys. I'm almost certain Walmart will price this TMNT WWE figures at 19.97 each, coming out with tax to nearly 85 dollars, so it will be a cheaper purchase...I'll just wait for these to pop up at Walmart, instead of ordering online.

kaptainmyke 11-01-2016 11:35 AM

I figured if Ringside wants to charge me a $20 bill to get a full set delivered to my door instead of me driving to all the Wal-marts in the city at 10mpg in my Yukon it's a win/win in my eyes LOL

& even that is $10 too much.

justforapic 11-01-2016 06:20 PM

So I'm guessing these are bigger figures so they can fit in with WWE figures.

Rukitron 11-03-2016 12:57 PM

$20 is too much, even with accessories and no.omitted paint apps. I'll wait for a sale.

slashpieturtlemix 11-03-2016 09:47 PM

Im looking forward to these just to say i have them. We dont get to many awesome nick based variants by playmates

TheCanadiandrome 11-05-2016 01:20 AM

My two faves coming together as one! Me wants and can't wait

kaptainmyke 11-05-2016 09:37 PM

So PUMPED they are almost here COWABUNGA for sure!

DVD 11-05-2016 11:20 PM

When I asked about how soon I'd have these, the reply was three smiley faces.
Hoping that was a sly way of saying they are on their way 👍

kaptainmyke 11-06-2016 12:19 AM

I found and bought a set of four, earlier at a Walmart in my area of Milwaukee, WI...start checking your local Walmarts.
