Nick sound FX figures, worth buying?
 

Anybody buy these? They worth picking up?

Nobody has ever purchased them. No. :trazz:

If you like them, buy them. Somebody elses opinion shouldn't mean too much.

If it's any help though, for one thing, they're not in scale with the regular line. They're considerably larger. They are, however, more in line with the design of the series. More 'screen accurate', I mean. The novelty is the selling point, as the voices are pretty neat, but as an adult collector, that gimmick loses its value when all they're gonna do is sit on a shelf. I took a pass, personally.

I tend to play with my toys, so the sound feature seems really cool. Any idea about their articulation?

They're not articulated at the knees and elbows. I tried out the Donatello, and literally lost interest after the first couple of sayings. For a kid, sure, they're probably going to be neat, but I couldn't stand it. I'm going to buy a Donatello to keep in the box one day, but I won't buy one to open (unless my daughter one day wants one).

Just an fyi, but they're not as detailed or well sculpted as the mini-figures.

You can see the smaller Leo has better texturing, although admittedly the heads do have open mouths and pupils.

I passed on them because I thought the facial expressions were kind of silly, especially for Mikey.

True, I actually dislike the faces on all four figures, I really don't understand who decided to make them that way,Donnie's specially bad. So I passed on them too,hopefully they won't do the same with other future figures.

I dig the shredder. Not sure if this was on purpose, but it appears that Shredder has one pupil painted, and one not. I thought it was a mistake, but then saw the same thing on amazon.

Despite their flaws, the Sound FX Turtles are compatible with the 2007 Turtles. Of course you can only do so much detail the larger a figure gets, or it would be too expensive. Don't forget almost no articulation. Still, if you are a fan of the more lighthearted versions of the Turtles or have kids that like the cartoon (CGI or not, it's still a cartoon to me), I'd purchase this if the price drops into the $8-$12 range.

I bought all 5 of them. I still prefer the basic figures, but I am overall happy with the Sound FX figures. I paid $10.39 each for them plus free shipping from TRU when they were on sale. I like them a lot better at that pricepoint. I would probably pass if they make more though.

If you watch the previews that have shredder in it, His eye is like that as well.

Thanks a lot for the feedback guys. I was on the fence about these, but I think I'll at least pick up Leo.

After playing with the Shredder I saw at TRU I realized that the guy playing him is the same guy who plays principal Lewis on American Dad. It's somehow harder to take him serious now, when all I hear when he talks is principal Lewis and his ensuing hilariousity.

Anybody know what Leo's phrases are?

Darn it, man! Now I'm gonna be thinking about that when I watch the show!

I think there cool, might pick them up, when they go on sale.

I've debated the Donatello one, for obvious reasons, but haven't bought any because of lack of disposable cash.

Well maybe if you stopped feeding that greedy kid of yours... :trazz:

I know, right?

Wait....
