No problem. I never saw B&R in stores. Had to order them online. Here's a pic of them from BBTS in case you are wondering what they look like:

I finally got around to doing some side by side comparison shots in decent light.
I hope that these prove helpful.

These are nice figures and I will definitely buy them, but they could've been sooooo much better had they made them look more like the actual movie turtles. Textured skin, or minimally a paint job to give them a movie look.

Thanks for sharing!!

Definitely be buying those turtles!

[Candy Kappa]

if I didn't already own a set of subpar Playmates "Collector's" Turtles, I'd probably buy then when my LCS guy gives me a discount on the 4th figure (happened when I bought the first Classics)

Despite the HUGE flaws, they are a lot better made then the "cartoon accurate" figures.

Nice side by sides DVD, you just made me want them even more

The end of July cannot come quicker. I'm gonna preorder them next week

[Agent 86]

Thanks for the "side by side" photos DVD!

Personally, I'm still not seeing enough of a difference to justify buying a second set of near-identical action figures. Maybe I'll change my mind if I see them in person (or if Playmates announces a bunch of additional "movie" characters for future waves), but for now they're an easy pass.

The '92 originals still hold the top spot for greatest movie figures. Those are horrendous. Playmates did a great job with the '14 movie figures.

[Cowabungawolf89]

Preordered mine just now from Toywiz. It came out to about 118.96

[CyberCubed]

Are these classic movie figures out yet?

[BlueKatana]

Yeah they look...ok. I'll just get the Leo and be done.

Ugh. I'll get Leo, as that's the only decent looking one.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

I like them, not gonna lie, I think they look great, they kinda remind me a lot more of the 2003 cartoon turtles. I am looking forward to getting my hands on them.

Thanks for the pics

I know that people are divided over these 'Classic' figures.
Personally, I'm all for them. I like the possibility, and the sheer action figureness (that's a real word... Maybe) of them.
I know they aren't super screen accurate (BB n RS !!) but for me they make great display pieces. There have been many Turtles interpretations over the (put to great use in Turtles Forever) years and these are just part of that.
I've just hung up my first set of Nick figures alongside the Battle Shell versions and the differences are so noticeable, but that does not stop me liking either set.

Anyway, bring on the Revoltech set !!

Hi first time poster here but long time TMNT fan. I was curious if Toywiz is really a viable option for purchasing these figures? I was under the impression that these figures were slated to be sold off at SDCC this year and then become a Toys R Us exclusive?

They will be sold at SDCC first but yeah they are also sold at Toys R Us as well but you can also get them at online stores like Amazon and Toywiz and Big Bad Toy Store. I got my previous classic figures from Amazon too

[psychturtle]

I'll be hitting up amazon for these when they become available.

[Donatello19]

Omg, those movie figures are hideous!

But if this wave is an exclusive to toys r us, doesn't that kind of imply that only that store will sell them? I don't even see any preorders up for these figures on amazon or big bad toy store.

[psychturtle]

Amazon will get them just like they did the original toon versions.
