Winter Wave is gonna be a big one!
 

I just sent an e-mail to Playmates askign them when Dr malignus, Baxter, Water foot Mystic, Utrom, and Claw shredder are out. She replied saying that she believes they will be out by christmas. Earth Shredder clone, Splinter in Cyrotube, and Mouser 6 pack are also set to be out in winter. thats 8 figures in the middle of your holiday shopping! I know they have done an 8 figure wave before but not during the holiday season. what do you think about this?

Awesome, another complete wave in my want list. I've been especially waiting for the mousers. I don't recall the "Earth Shredder clone" though. Who's that?

sorry typo. I meant Earth foot mystic! :) So two foot mystics. One good thing is that these should be included in the holiday sales. Hopefully I will find they at 5 dollars each, bringing the total to just under 50 dollars, which is still a huge amount to pay for figures during christmas.

HOLY CRUD. that many. lordy man i gotta tell my paretns as soon as they come out go get them.

Yeah im a bit worried as well. The christmas rush is hard enough. With buying presents and wrapping them and getting all prepared and now I have to run out and look for all these. My rents always get stressed out at christmas time, and my mom usually gets stressed out at TMNT hunting time, combine them and I see a stress overload! This could eb the year without a santa clause people! Last year it was only shredder elite, foot gunnar and armored shredder, Not to mention the armored turtle variants. But I picked those up in November so It wasnt that bad spending 15 bucks on figures. I gotta get a job!

man i gotta get as many ninja turtle toys as possible. like the old ones, and all the others. well wish me luck on TMNT hunting. before the holiday i got 4 months and 29 days to get the old ones. hahah I can get all of the mby then. hahahha :lol: :evilgrin: .

what the heck is "splinter in cyrotube"!? Never heard anything about that.

:lol: I think it was meant to be called "cryotube".

There was a list made late last year by someone at Playmates of figures scheduled to be released this year. Splinter in Cryotube(from Secret Origins pt.1) is the only figure from the list still not pictured.
Here is the list of the figures not yet released.

I couldn't find the Wind Mystic.

Ehh...I hate the holiday release of toys. Finding stuff is usually hard enough, but then you have the parents/grandparents who go out and buy whatever they see in hopes that their kids like it. The kid couldn't care less, but then they end up getting one of our hard to find toys. :)

At least during the holidays retail stores stock toys every day.

I e-mailed playmates regarding cyro tube splinter. They werent able to give me any infromation on the figure or any pictures. I doubt it is coming out this december. Maybe in the new Turtle Lair?

I think they decided not to do a new Turtle Lair, or else Target wouldn't be getting the one from last year in for their Christmas reset. Personally I'd hope if for a new playset or a carded release, because this line definitely needs a new more accurate Splinter.
