DreamEx 1:6 scale figures
 
I thought I'd start a thread on what will be a developing range of figures.

Two figures of very high quality have been issued so far.

If there are no objections, I'll add in some Casey details, and more Shedder details later.
If though people want to continue with individual threads in individual figures, I'll abandon this one.

But for now, we have Shredder and Casey Jones .

Shredder :

More pics later today. When I find time to open him.

Man, Shredder is released???????//
I have so much catching up to do.... Casey and Shredder.

DVD 11-07-2016 04:11 AM

Shredder.
This is another fantastic figure from DreamEx.

He has though one minor issue of note.
When you get him, note the feet. The feet have to be unplugged to apply the armor . The pegging is NOT vertical. They go in at an angle, into foot rather than straight down, into the soul as you'd expect. Once you figure this out it's relatively simple to work the feet.

He looks amazing in hand. And it's another solid figure. Nothing flimsy about it at all.

Accessories are neat. He has his throwing stars, a totally cool sword (with scabbard) , a jar of mutagen Ooze and the coolest Krang communicator .

Gotta say , I am impressed.

Ok. Some pics. They don't do it justice.

Face off...

So. Two figures out so far, and both are excellent.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how their take on the Turtles themselves turn out.

Shredder looks amazing. Damn I keep getting tempted by Casey so much.

Been wanting to just get Shredder and eventually Bebop & Rocksteady if they make them.

But Casey Jones is looking awful tempting from all the great pictures.

But then I'd end up getting the Toitles and the Krang from this line also. And argh!!!

super curry max 11-07-2016 11:55 AM

couldnt really tell does he have an alternate left hand with shorter blades? i am not a fan of the super long hand blade.

DVD 11-07-2016 12:05 PM

Yes.
He has several hands.
The fists, open palms and gripping hands all have the shorter blades.
There is only one pair of hands with the ling blades.

I like the look of them, but I wanted to display him holding the communicator so I am using one short and one long blade pair of hands. It's a feature of 1:6 design that allows for that personal choice of look. And I'm glad to see it in the SFA Turtles. On extras, I have to say that I don't think I'll ever display him with the extra head, but it's a nice addition to the set for anyone that wants to display him without any helmet or face plate.

zaktheneutrino 11-07-2016 01:22 PM

Very nice and even better looking than what I was expecting! Is there actual liquid in the ooze canister?

DVD 11-07-2016 02:02 PM

The Ooze is solid. Looks good though.

Coro 11-07-2016 02:19 PM

Can we get a shot of Shredder with the "non helmet" head on? I would like to see if it is still too small for the body.

TMNTFanatic4Life 11-07-2016 03:23 PM

I love that Shredder!

He looks so freaking cool. :tcool:

DVD 11-07-2016 04:24 PM

Here's the helmetless head.

And the extras:

They looks amazing. :tsmile:

Oh, Shredder look alive...
The clothes of Shredder are made of fabric?

DVD 11-13-2016 02:15 PM

DVD 11-13-2016 02:34 PM

That's about what I said !!

I think these are fantastic.

The extras are seriously well thought out. I mean, giving Raph folded arms !!! These guys know their subject matter. I'm also loving that Shell cell.

Looking up release dates. But it's 4am here so I'm not getting many replies!! Haha !!

Splinter 11-13-2016 02:50 PM

Sweet Christmas those look amazing. Damn I just wanted to get Shredder and then Bebop & Rocksteady if they ever get made.

Now I'm damn tempted by the Casey, still waffling on him due to limited cartoon appearances, and especially the Toitles.

I wish they didn't have all the extra pounces and such that aren't toon accurate. But damn they look sexay.

DVD 11-13-2016 03:00 PM

Here's a pic from the BBICN facebook page.

http://i857.photobucket.com/albums/a...D0531039B.jpeg

There are a whole lot more.
The posted pics really sell these guys.

Candy Kappa 11-13-2016 03:18 PM

Damn... Leo and Raph looks amaze, if only they where 1:12th instead of 1:6th.

Really like the cross armed accessory

Venom 11-13-2016 04:22 PM

Hollywood should really take note, THIS is a great representation of what live action Turtles should look like.

I've been watching these for awhile, probably my favorite take on them.

All in.

It is an awesome pose. So Raph!!

Btown 11-13-2016 10:54 PM

good lord. That crossed arm pose just makes Raph look even more badass

Coro 11-13-2016 11:04 PM

DVD do you know the prices on the turtles?

Also at this point I am super jealous that you are in China for these...I have my Shredder on order for months, but these turtles are super exciting and I'm not even a 4-kids fan.

I kind of wish the elbow and knee bands were neutral colors, but these might be the best 1/6 scale ever. Mondo is pretty awesome too, but these win so far.

Coro 11-13-2016 11:08 PM

Next question. I have a pre-order for shredder at LunarToyStore for Shredder, but I dont see Casey Jones there anymore.

Anyone know where I can get Casey? If turtles are coming I want the whole set.

DVD 11-13-2016 11:20 PM

Price points. I'd guess same as Casey if not cheaper .

Casey was 980rmb and Shredder 1080

I can't see these (smaller) Turtle figures being any more than 900 each.

Wildcat 11-13-2016 11:26 PM

This has to be my favorite line ever. Wish I had the money for all these.

They're like the Masterpiece line of Transformers but for 4-kids. The turtles themselves anyway.

Coro 11-13-2016 11:32 PM

Where is Casey currently for sale?!?!?

DANG IT!

BBTS has him for preorder.
I feel like you would've check there.

DVD 11-13-2016 11:53 PM

Casey and Shredder are all over Taobao .
Scope out alibaba.com

If unsure of seller, send me link and I'll verify for you.

Raptor86 11-14-2016 05:04 AM

Yeah, you can find Shredder and Casey on AliExpress at good prices!

Zulithe 11-14-2016 05:38 AM

Gosh, when I saw shredder, krang and casey i thought they were nice but i was really thinking about skipping this line... now i'm not sure.

the turtles are really stunning. best 1:6 turtles i've seen.

I do like the job mondo did, but they felt like upscaled versions of playmates figures (even heavily influenced by their designs). These feel a little more organic, a little more original in their adaptation yet very honest to the characters. It gels with me.

It looks like they are taking influences from lots of turtle interpretations, not trying to stay strictly based on Mirage or 80s Playmates figures.

DVD 11-14-2016 06:08 AM

Well said.
These are a great collaboration of different designs.

Oculus Orbus 11-14-2016 06:29 AM

These are spectacular. I had very little interest on this line, but I might have to reconsider. If only they were a bit less Fred Wolf I'd be all over them, although I understand that's part of the main appeal for many people.

I'm actually thinking the Turtles will either be the same price as Shredder if not costing more.
They have more accessories and a bit more complicated than Casey Jones.

Shark_Blade 11-15-2016 06:43 AM

Goodness gracious just saw these. Amazing!

DVD 11-17-2016 09:22 AM

Price point for the Turtles is 1020rmb.
So pitched between Casey (980) and Shredder (1080).

Still a good price. Being released early 2017.

Krang IS coming.....

EddieNES 11-21-2016 01:25 PM

Leo and Raph are up for preorder. Really hope all 4 DreamEx figures don't hit at same time. They all list for 4th Q 16.

DVD 11-21-2016 02:15 PM

They won't.
BBTS are asking $190 for each Turtle .
Leo and Raph(eal) are due to hit in January. I hope they sort the spelling out !!

I can't confirm, but after those, Krang should enter from Dimension Ex (couldn't resist) with Mikey and Don behind as the next release.

In mean time, I put all my 1/6 figures together:

Darxide 11-22-2016 12:43 AM

I'm paying $165 each shipped for these. That's $15 less than I paid for Casey and $20 less then Shredder. I can't wait for the rest.
