2016 Movie Toys

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 12-28-2015, 07:03 PM

So since I started my son's TMNT action-figure collection, I've been thinking off and on about what to get him. One of my plans was to wait for the 2016 movie figures and see how their Bebop and Rocksteady hold up to the Nick figures and Fred Wolf collector figures.

It occurred to me; with the glut of main characters in this movie, we're gonna have a lot more toys on the shelf. To compare:

2014 (9 total)
Leonardo
Raphael
Donatello
Michelangelo
Splinter
April O'Neil
Shredder
Foot Soldier
Raph in Trenchcoat

2016 (14 estimated)
Leonardo
Raphael
Donatello
Michelangelo
Splinter
April O'Neil
Casey Jones
Shredder
Bebop
Rocksteady
Krang
Karai*
Baxter Stockman*
Foot Soldier*

*These are maybes... but the others are a sure thing.

Considering these toys might be a bit more memorable, given that they are at least totally cashing in on Fred Wolf nostalgia, I wonder if Playmates will give more than half a crap about how the toys look. Those 2014 Turtles were HIDEOUS.

Anyway, 2016 movie toy discussion... discuss away!

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if they just use the 2014 molds with a repaint. I can see a series where it's the 4 tmnt, Bebop, Rocksteady, Shredder, and April.

The turtles looked different enough that they will definitely get new figures, April might just be a repaint. I am not so sure about Krang actually appearing in this line, I hope so.

The first movie figures are horrible, but for what playmates had to work with, they did a good job.

I reckon we will get rereleases of the first 8 (9 if you count the other Raph) and 5 new figures

Rocksteady
Bebop
Eric Sacks
Casey Jones
Ninja Foot Soldier

Some playsets though may be nice like the Turtles Lair and the Building where Eric Sacks and Karai were showing the turtles the toxins. Maybe even a foot clan vehicle would be nice?

Eric Sacks? I don't think that they release this figure.

They could release it though!

Well, they could. But I think they will not release Vernon. Just my opinion.

*oldmanwinters* · 12-29-2015, 11:30 AM

I'd be surprised if they released a sequel movie April figure, unless they just reissued the original figure or else reused the mold with a few small updates.

They could, but I agree they probably wont. They don't like producing human characters outside of main ones like April and Casey

Well tbf, he was one of the main and has been confirmed to appear in the 2nd and 3rd film. Although you are right about Playmates not doing humans but remember the 2003 line where we had SO many new characters that were generic humans!

Has there been a time frame given to when we can expect these to be on store shelves?

Zak The Neutrino · 01-12-2016, 08:52 PM

Not sure if I'm going to buy any of the figures but I'm definitely getting the truck.

Are the new movie toys out yet?

You guys realize this is the "movie toys" thread, right?

bgb1018 · 02-29-2016, 06:39 PM

Ok, so we're looking at a later April/early May official release on these figures and playsets?

I've been skimming the last 10 pages or so looking for info and I've only gained a vague idea on what's happening with these lol.

Just hoping someone could clarify for me.

So, I take it we'll start seeing these showing up in stores soon.
