Yeah they have their own scale. But even in the whole collection the scale is inconsistent... For the picture I have seen Bebop and Rocksteady are the same height of the turtles.

And that's the problem, they should have done them in the 6 inch scale. Bandai did their Thundercats Classics in a 8 inch scale, and then due to sales scaled down to 6 inch similar to the new toon Cats. And the line died.

Yeah, the inconsistent and differnt scale is a turn-off for some collectors. It happened also for the Jurassic Park /// toyline...

I love Thundercats man.... i would have bought those figs if not for the unpainted joints! Ugly as hell man.



and then there's the visible screws... UUURGGH!!!
Suddenly playmates look good in comparison to this.

All the turtles are the same height so i guess you must be talking bout B&R.
But B&R's height is cartoon accurate.
They are not supposed to be taller/bigger. They were the same size.



Optibotmus also talked about the accuracy of the height @ 10:30 to 11:00

Now, everyone is cursing and hoping this line will die with a vengeance.

If the 1990 movie turtle is the last of the CC figures, that would be a sad sad day.
It's not like we have a replacement for collector's quality figures. Then i guess it's back to collecting the very impressive Nick turtles full time then.

We're not hoping that at all!
Everyone wants this line to do well.
We just want Playmates to get with it and bring out top notch products if they are going to market this towards adult collectors (which this line is) then they need to treat it as such and not just in price point.
You can be as lazy as you want with the Nick Toon line as I could care less because that's a kids line.
But when you market something as a line for adult collectors and know that is the market going to buy this line you can not skimp and cut corners even if that means raising the price.
I don't know about anyone else but I'm going to be buying those $40.00 Revoltech TMNT.
That is money I'd gladly toss at Playmates for 100% screen accurate, beautifully sculpted and detailed figures.
I personally want perfection from a line like this but I know I'm not going to get it which is sad because as a big company calling the shots on these things they should be doing nothing but striving for just that.
I think so many people get frustrated because the collectors figures are just soooooooooooooooooo close but not quite there.
I personally own all 4 old toon TMNT and like them, Bebop & Rocksteady I passed on because that's not what I wanted, but these movie turtles I may just have to get because while the heads are fugly those bodies are very nicely sculpted even without the Henson trademark look to them.

more likely the same time as Bebop and Rocksteady came out I thought. Like Novemeber, I can't find the 30th of July as a release date anywhere

Either learn to trust people or learn to read if you're so skeptical.

I don't get any monetary gain for lying to you and no "thank yous" either for telling the truth. So be grateful you even get an anwer.

Release date in the link.

No worries, i wasn't talking to you.

That ebay seller is offering an estimated shipping date, as to the best of my knowledge , these don't have a confirmed US store release date yet.

[LeonardosBane]

Has BBTS offered these for preorder yet?

[DVD]

Right .
Finally got them all on display together !




I do hope there's a wave 4. We need a shredder and April in this range.

That's the only lead we have right now and the seller IS from US, so give or take, it should be available around that date.

And very nice latest pics you have there, thanks.
I hope we get tokka and rahzar wave 4 now but ultimately, i believe everyone wants a shredder.

I kinda wish they would give us a kraang too but i think both kraang and shredder are destined to fail in many people's eyes mainly because both of them are tall characters so they can't possibly fit into the regular card backs unless playmates changed the size of it but that has never happened before.

[Powder]

I'd be down for Tokka & Rahzar for sure, if they looked good.

I wouldn't Mind Shredder being the same size as the turtles all that much, honestly. It's not like there's too drastic of a difference between them in the series. As for Krang, all they'd have to do is make a bubble-walker Classics version. As long as Krang himself is cartoon accurate, I think people would be happy.

[Discogod]

I'd be more than happy with Shredder being the same height as the Turtles, so I can fudge him in with the rest of my mainly 6"-scale collection. Not that I hold much hope of Playmates actually making him...

[Zulithe]

assuming they do another wave of 2, it needs to be shredder and splinter, period
