Foot Soldier Armies
 

Hey, well I'm a GI JOE guy and army building is a big part of it. You know, getting as many as possible of the old figures and lining them up, or putting them in tanks and displaying them. I was wondering if army building is as prevalent with Ninja Turtle collecting as it is with joes.

Does anyone have big armies of foot soldiers? Maybe mousers? Or how about Krang’s guys from dimension X? Those are really the only armies I remember from watching the show when I was little. What were those dimension X guys called by the way?

Anyway, I would love to see some pictures if you do. Please post what you have.

Thanks

You're talking about Krang's Stone Warriors from Dimension X! Or Rock Soldiers or whatever you want to call them. :P

Regarding your question, it sounds like TMNTGal's building quite the collection of Foot Soldiers (not to speak for her, mind you), but I've only got one of the original purple grey 'n blue guys. I kinda wish I had another Foot Soldier from the movie or new series, though, as I imagine the poor guy gets pretty lonely. But he tags along with Traag and the Triceraton (only one of each of them, too), so I guess he's okay. :)

yea, ive also been tryin to build up on my Foots, and movie foots...not so much on the mouseres and rock soldiers, though just yesterday i did pick a General Tragg (rock soldier) at a garage sale....but to anser your question, i dont think its as prevalent as it might be in Joes...i think collectors go more for differnt variations of figs if anthing...most seem to go just for collecting at least one of every differnt of fig, maybe 2 to open one up and the other to dispaly...course this is all just my opinion, so i could be worng! :P

I have:

1 General Tragg (Rock Soldier)
1 Old Foot Soldier
2 New Foot Soldiers
6 or 7 Triceratons :D

Pictures anyone?

Here are my armies from the old and new line:

You have a lot of money.

Antrax....those are cool. I especially like the new foot army because you gave them all different weapons. I would suggest putting them in all different poses and stuff, makes it interesting.

Wow Antrax...good job there...!!!! Very nice... :D

AWESOME ANTRAX

You've posted some pics of your collection in the ''collection photos'' topic, but obviously not all of it, If you could post all of your collection at once, cause that would be TOO AWESOME. I actually collect collection photos :-?

in packages, also antrax':

I got most of them a few years ago when the I had no interests besides my sudden re-interest in TMNT so it was the only thing I spent my money on besides the nessessary things.
There was no way all of my foot soldiers were going to have the same weapons. I recently bought some more accessories and decided to give some of them to the foot clan. With the horrible articulation they were made with, there are very few poses they could make. I had them all in a box and took them out just for the pic, when I find time, I'm going to pose them one way or another on a set of cabinets I recently aquired.
I'll try to get pics of the loose figures soon(out of the bags this time) and I'll post them on the "collection photos" topic.

those foot elite look awesome surrounding the shedder :evilgrin:

i have a question was that bald guy in antrax's movie star collection ...tatsu? where did he get him.

Yeah, that's my attempt at a custom Tatsu. I made him using one of the Movie III Samurai Warhorse sets.

hey thats cool. i was wondering how in the world you came across something like that. could you show us a close up picture of him?

Seeing that Super Shredder brings back memories..I used to have him. I wonder if I can still get one somewhere. I still gotta get the new Shredder.

Super Shredder's pretty easy to come by on ebay -- unless you're gunning for the black one (which still won't cost you that much) you can pick up a loose one for a song. MOC probably won't run you more than $5, sans shipping, of course. Shipping can be a bitch.

I found the 1999 rerelease for 99 cents and bid on that one. Once I get him I'll worry about getting 2003 Shredder. I hear that one's becoming rare but that's ridiculous.

Yeah, a lot of the ebay auctions list it as "RARE!!!!" but I suspect that's just them trying to hock their wares at inflated prices. There don't seem to be as many Shredders around as some of the other figures, but there's never been a time I didn't go to the toy store and see a couple of 'em mixed in with the others.

Oh, and you're bidding way too soon! It's worked out for me pretty well the last few auctions I've been in, so I've gotta say -- sniping is the way to go. :lol:

Way too soon? It's .99 cents and there's 3 of the same. I'll be fine.
