Classic series 2 Speculations/ Wants
 

Hi, To me the classic series has blown away the new Nick line and the Necas.
I was just wondering if there is any news on series 2, who is likely, and who do you guys want to see?

PS> Sorry if there is a thread on this, but I couldnt find it.

My wants

2003 Turtles
1990 Movie Turtles
PUNK FROGS LOL
Bebop and RockSteady
Splinter 80s
Shredder 80s
The Nickelodeon turtles. (done to Classic series standard)


what I think we will see.

I think a series 2 would most likely be

April
Splinter
Shredder
Purple Foot.

I think they will struggle to do a scale Bebop and Rocksteady, as much as I want them.

There's this thread, which is specifically about the future of the Classic Collection figures:

...and there's this one, which is a more general wishlist for the future of TMNT toys:

Anyways, as for what I want to see next? I know they're old sculpts, don't have anywhere near the articulation of the CC Turtles, and Playmates not even have them anymore, but I REALLY want to see those comic-based figures they were going to release but couldn't because of NECA coming in and releasing their **** figures...

I think it's funny that, after all this time, Midtown Comics still has a listing up for them:http://www.midtowncomics.com/store/d...a+Turt_1002220

As for them doing anything "in-scale" with the current Turtles, the only figure I can see them making the right size, would be Splinter. Everyone else is going to be too small in-comparison. Shredder alone would have to be at least an eight inch figure.

I really admire NECA's TMNT figures, but the figures that Playmates were supposed to release looked pretty damn good to me as well. Really wish those got a release.

using the search function FTW

True, but this thread's title is much more appropriate. ;)

In any event, I really want the next wave to have April, Shredder, Krang (in his walker), Bebop, Rocksteady, and Splinter. Past that, Baxter-Fly, Metalhead, Slash... I'd love a ton.

Ah, sorry, Ill check the links out, thanks

Wave 2:

Shredder
Bebop
Rocksteady
April
Splinter
BAF Krang's Android Body

Wave 3:

Casey Jones
Irma
Baxter Stockman
Slash
Mondo Gecko

Wave 4:
2K3 Turtles
Karai

If we're sticking with Fred Wolf characters for now then Splinter, Shredder, Bebop & Rocksteady would be logical. I half suspect every wave will have turtles since they sell the best so I got to wonder were they'll take that.

I tend to think 4kids'd turtles be rather redundant right away as the 2K3 figures were fairly accurate to the show. I always wondered with the varients why we never got figures based on Same As It Never Was.

Figures based Eastman & Laird's later and definitve Turtle version would be pretty simple for them to do as it's essentialy the classics with a few modifications.

Stop bumping this thread. Use the other ones, linked above.

Heh, every time I see "Classic Series 2..." as the most recently updated thread I get really excited that official announcements have been made. And then, of course, I get really disappointed when I see it's just wishful speculation. :tcry:

I guarantee OT Shredder, Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady will come eventually.

I'm less sure on April, since April tends to sell less than other figures especially in todays market.

I'd love to see Krang and shredder from the OT. Splinter would be great too! I just ordered the turtles from amazon for about 65, not bad considering I've had trouble finding Donatello for less than 25 alone.

Maybe they could 2-pack April and Splinter?
