Did anyone lose interest after seeing the movie?
 
I was pretty pumped about the movie figures before the movie came out but afterwards I seemingly lost all interest... I still haven't gotten a Leonardo but I suppose I will. Now I'm into Spidey 3 though.. so the wallet never gets a break

I'm sorry cause I saw the teenie weenie spider man 3 toys and while the sculpts are decent I gotta give them a D for being so small.:lol:

I give them an A for being smaller, I was so sick of having a huge collection of gigantic 6" figures that I started selling them all.

why? almost all action figure lines are that large. They don't fit in with anything else...
I don't like figures that are smaller than my middle finger lol

Like I said, I'm glad, because 6" is just too big

Well since everyone on this board hounds me for real answeres as to why this or that.
I'd really like to know why and unlike them I'm not being an ass.
I've never heard of anyone enjoying smaller action figures before.:)

I just got this rush and craving for the tmnt action figures again. God, the last time I bought one was back in 1992, and it seems at ebay, everything is available there now:eek: Only got Mike(std), Don(std) and Raphael(hero in a half shell). My first turtle toy Leonardo(std) was stolen when I was 4 or 5 years old.Dammit. I want to retrace back my memories.

Rockzero 04-01-2007 10:51 AM

Not a chance. If anything my interest has only increased. Great movie, great figures. :)

Greed 04-01-2007 12:24 PM

After seeing the movie I wanted to collect more of the movie line.

I think they are decent but yeah they are too small and plus I have seen some WalMarts around here that charge nearly $9 for just a basic figure.

Head Spinnin' Bebop 04-01-2007 02:42 PM

No way, my interest has only increased. After I saw the movie I wanted even more and hope the line continues because its so much better than the TV series line, blows it away IMO.

I love Spider-Man and will see it, but the movies I've only been okay with so far. Like X-Men though, maybe the 3rd movie will be the charm and I'll really love it.

For the most part, I don't like movie figures anyway, don't buy them unless they are origin movies like POTC or I had some attachment to it to want figures. With Spier-Man, I feel like I‘m buying Tobey and Dunst figures instead of Parker and MJ figures. With Spider-Man I prefer TV series or comic based figures. Depends on the movie.

This is a great year for movies though, usally I go to the theater once a year, if that because I don’t like much. But this year, TMNT, Pirates(can't wait), Simpsons, Transformers, Spider-Man. Good year!

Yeah like I said the sculpts are nice but they are to small to fit in with anything else. The exact opposite effect the TMNT movie figures had on me Sans a few.

I don't understand why these are so much smaller. The toys for SM1 and SM2 were larger and more to scale.

They were in the same scale as the Marvel Legends line but I haven't seen the new SM figs but how big are they 4" or 5" ?

JetsAndHeels 04-01-2007 09:56 PM

The SM3 figs are 5 inches, Greed. When Toy Biz had the license for the first two films, the figures were around 6 inches, maybe a little bit more. Now Hasbro is scaling them down a bit.

Nightwatcher 04-01-2007 10:11 PM

Watching the movie made me want to buy more than just the 4 turtles. Now I almost want them all.

Spitfire 04-01-2007 10:27 PM

Spider-man 3 toys suck ass. The TMNT movie toys are better then them. And on that note the Spider-man 2 toys were way better.

The only decent SM3 fig I have seen (and I bought) was the SA black suit Spidey. It is a nice figure, despite the small scale.

But you are right, the TMNT line is hands down much better.

Spitfire 04-01-2007 10:39 PM

Funny you mention the black suit Spidey. I was at Target where they had a sale on TMNT and Spider-man 3 toys. I saw just about every Spidey toy they had, even villains I assume are in the game, but not a single black suit Spidey. I probably would hav gotten one. I'm a sucker for black suit Spidey.

JetsAndHeels 04-01-2007 10:43 PM

I'm glad I bought one when I did, since the day the toys hit stores I have yet to see another Black suit Spidey.
