That's cool...looking for more before you get the ones that are out!! I say go get em before they are sold out.
I think we will see the original 10 revisited before we get anything else, so I'd expect the next four to be Rocksteady, Bebop, April, and your foot soldier.

These sell out so fast and the pricings on toys r us sites and amazon are relatively high.

I'd like to see them switch to a subscription based model, with a new figure released every month. The Ultimate goal being to release every figure from the vintage line, while also releasing characters that never had a figure (for example, characters that were only ever in the cartoon).

That would be amazing. I would specifically like the "punk frogs" much like they made bebop and rocksteady. Usagi would be nice as well.

[QUOTE=Seeks;1195693]Yep, me too! I've started the '87 line, so I'll obviously finish them and I'll definitely put money down for 2k3 Turtles. Throw in Splinter and Shredder as an accompaniment [Perhaps in wave refreshers?] and that would be superb.

I agree with you on the 2k3 versions Seek, I love the idea of making a "Turtles Forever" display alongside the 87 turtles. I wouldn't mind a Next Mutation or the Mirage versions of them either. Just because the TV show sucked doesn't mean the older figures did and just because NECA made their own comic style turtles doesn't mean Playmates can't either. Perhaps their versions would top NECA's

Mind blown. Haha I'm with you on everything. But I'm not sure a turtles forever would be that good IDEA. Like If the turtles forever was the only 2k3 turtles like then yes. But I don't see doubling down on 2k3 turtles and 87 turtles when they will look the same.

I can't see Playmates being competent enough to make Mirage turtles, especially when their own comic based figures was dropped after they screwed up for NECA, and even those prototypes from Playmates was rather lackluster.

If they can't do a proper Classics line, which we have seen as the turtles are neither cartoon or toy based, or even a hybrid of them and Bebop & Rocksteady looks so drastically different in design with the turtles. I have very low expectations that they even consider doing mirage classics, and honestly I don't think I'd buy any "classics" based on the mirage turtles, cause they wouldn't look right anyway.

Laugh if you want to. Either way we'll see what they'll do next. Some people doubted me when I said we might get the movie turtles and now it's happening. So until the line gets cancelled I'll hang on to the possibility.

I donno, I'm not overly impressed with the shown Leo prototype based off the live-action movie, that his face is taken from one of the stunt masks, he got a very blank expression, and the real product will most likely have the bare minimal paint app, which will do the movie turtles a big disservice as well.

At first I didn't like the face either but it kinda grew on me. Regardless of what their expressions will look like I'm still gonna get them.

Personally for me, unless the rest of the turtles are impressive, they are a easy pass for me. I already have a decent enough but grossly oversized set of turtles.

I think movie turtles could have been great to pose with other figures, but their scale are so oversized it doesn't look any good next to the usual 6 inch scale figures that I collect.
