McFarlane Toys 5 inch TMNT Page Punchers
 

Wow, didn’t see this coming, but looks good!

Yeah, I definitely saw this coming, and the fact that these are just Page Punchers are troubling....because that means there will be far more detailed and comic accurate TMNT coming via Mcfarlane's more premium lines...

But somewhere I have to draw the line, can barely keep up with S7 and NECA...

Curious if this means 5 inch scale or 5 inch turtles.

Guess Loyal Subject lost the license.

This actually makes me more curious now - as to what I.P. McFarlane is going to scramble to pick up now that DC is going back to Mattel.

They also announced the return of Mortal Kombat - new wave seems to be inspired by MKII.

Does Loyal Subjects have rights to certain scale? That kinda sucks as they have been the primary supplier of IDW-style TMNT....unless McFarlane takes over.

The problem is that McFarlane's typical liberties with design don't really fit into what I like. I like "reference material", for the most part. The only McFarlane toy line I've ever been drawn into was Wave 1 of Spawn back in '92 or whatever it was, and I did bite on a small collection of his current DC stuff.

The thing he does get right are the offerings. The "artists designs" and the "storyline designs". But it's the fact that he offers them, not the fact that they ever truly look the part. And his previous decades of "posable statue toys" never made sense to me. At all. Even the articulation resulted in weird arm and leg cuts because his "toys" never looked good when you posed them outside of the native stance. All-in-all it's actually a ridiculous "toy company" until recently.

Damn, these don't look bad so far. With so many turtle figures I don't think I'll be getting anything unless they impress me a lot.

Looking forward to a proper IDW Shredder figure. Hopefully it’s 6/7” scale

What was wrong with the BST AXN one?

Size and articulation. I do like It a lot tho. Goes great up with the playmates turtles stuff

Oh he’s too small? I have him and the 4 turtles, but have not unboxed yet.

He needs one set of open fighting hands at least.

At this point there's so much stuff out there that I'm just going to stick with what adheres as closely to "reference material" as possible. It's the easiest way to reset your brain and cut through the noise out there.

God I hope these are actually 5" scale now so they could at least fit with the Playmates turtles unlike the Loyal Subjects line.

Sakai Turtles! :D Lifted right off the page. NECA's got you. :)

Those do look great, but I got my Mirage fix with the Lawson set, I think.... :lol:

Technically those Turtles would be IDW. ;) :lol:

Now the Turtles look better HERE than they did in that first render when it was just Leonardo.

If the actual figures look NEARLY as good as these, they'll definitely go in my collection next to my Mirage Turtles!

First look from ToyShiz - in packaging. https://www.facebook.com/toyshizz/po...VRsxpfEvN5ZMVl

Real curious how these scale with anything else... because Shredder looks small.

Looks identical to The Loyal Subjects versions.

Hopefully, Mcfarlane isn't restricting the TMNT license to just Page Punchers...

EDIT- After watching Mad Hatter Reviews touring the SDCC Mcfarlane display, I can say they look far worse than the BST AXN IDW TMNT figures.

5 inch scale? So these should mesh with the existing Loyal Subjects IDW line right?

I’m skipping this wave, but I might start mixing and matching once they get to Splinter and other non-turtle characters.

I don't think these look good. I can't quite place my finger on what's off about them, but I think it has something to do with the limbs.

EDIT: Hold on, does this mean that the BST AXN line is dead? That's a shame.

Yes, BST AXN is done.

Over in the TMNT Prototype group, Bebop got leaked:

Please do Archie Comics!

Finally saw these in person. They actually look quite nice and they’re at a much better price point than most everything else out there. Still not getting anything since they’re just generic IDW takes on the characters. The BST AXN figures had their flaws, but they were quite obviously Santolouco designs.

I’ll definitely pick up a Splinter for my IDW shelf if they make one. Maybe some other characters if they look nice.

Wave 2 is up for preorder soon. Raph, Mike, Bebop and Rocksteady.

These would have gone hard 11 years ago lol.

I might have to pick up B&R to match my BST AXN IDW Turtles (including Jennika and Shredder). Also, the McFarlane Foot.

I remain irritated that McFarlane still hasn't figured out how to do articulation correctly.

Yeah, I think I’m gonna do the same. Of all my TMNT shelves, I don’t own any B&R toys (for a reason lol). Even though I’ve soured on the IDW series as a whole, that was the only time I ever really cared about Bebop and Rocksteady. And smashing Donnie’s shell was a pretty iconic moment.

It seems like they’re gonna stick with 2 heroes and 2 villains per wave. I would hope wave 3 is Splinter, Casey, General Krang and Karai. If it is, I’ll definitely start buying this line.

I have a feeling that these will eventually be yellow tagged big-time at Wal-mart. If I ever pick them up, that will be how....

I'd expect them to ultimately be Ross exclusives!

Yup, exactly....

McFarlane Toys has to April, Splinter, Krang, and Baxter Stockman next. They have to round out the first Playmates wave from ‘88.

Just realized Raph and Mike come with Pepperoni and Klunk, respectively. That marks the first official Klunk toy, if you don’t count ICK.

I really like this line, as a concept. The price point beats most other “premium” lines and the comic book is a nice touch. They make great gifts for youngsters looking to get into comics.

Too bad the turtles are so ugly and not really based off any particular artist’s style.

Listened to some McFarlane dude on a quick Turtle Tracks episode yesterday.

He didn't really reveal anything, but the next wave is Samurai Leo and Don and two unnamed characters. Then a couple months after that will be Samurai Raph and Mike along with two more characters.

He really wouldn't even give hints, but names mentioned were Casey, April, Splinter, Alopex, Karai, and Old Hob.
