Cool idea, but that would be hard to keep them in a "mass produced" price range figure. Even tho I personally would be willing to shell out more, for better quality.

What, like rubber over a posable armature? It's possible - look at the DCUC Swamp Thing a few years back. Only problem is it's not as posable as a regular articulated figure, and the rubber "skin" will start to degrade over time (sometimes in a matter of weeks, depending on use).

no im not giving any excuses for Playmates. i agree they made some pretty bad figures in past but they did make some good ones and with figures like this its personal opinion, i like them and feel they did a pretty good job..besides id rather pay 20 and get accurate film figures with reused bodies then pay 40 and get each figures personal sculpt

the same sculpt bodies is a minor annoyance in my book

We can only guess what Wave 5 is
Either April and Splinter, or another turtle variant. Also after hearing the Q and A video there is hope that the 2k3 turtles will appear at some point in this line. If that's true then awesome

2k3 Shredder please

I picked up Raphael and I think he's pretty great. I passed when the Classics 'Toon versions came out, because the old cartoon was never my scene. But I love the original movie so having a movie styled Raph is pretty swell.

What I'd really love to do is find an in scale trenchcoat/fedora. The only thing (literally) I can think of that might work is the Marvel Legends Trenchcoat Thing that came out many years ago. Or maybe a Barbie/Ken trenchcoat might work too, if one was ever made.

And I know it won't happen, but a Classic 1990 movie Casey Jones would be so awesome!

I saw the 1990 movie figures today for the first time in person, at a comic shop. I had to leave them there at a price of $30 each. Does anyone know if these are going to be TRU exclusive in Canada as well? They aren't even on toysrus.ca yet

I have to say I liked them a lot more in person than I did in photos. They were always must-haves for me, but now they are must-have two sets, one to open and one to keep MOC

I agree, they look a lot better in person, I really like them. After I saw them in store today I had to get a set.

Are the classic cartoon Turtles no longer available at retail? All I can find at my nearest TRU is the classic movie figures.

I do not know if those will ship again or not, but they have all been successful, so I can't imagine them not being released again.

I did read that a second production run of Bebop and Rocksteady was postponed: http://www.actionfigurefury.com/play...ady-cancelled/

[Darthchubby]

Ah, thanks. With my luck they won't be. I may have to hit up the local comic book shop and see if they have them.

1990 shredder and casey and....??????.??????

VANILLA ICE!!!!!!! LLLLLLLL

My LCS got a set in, and I caved in and bought it. They aren't that bad in-person, there's some articulation issues, as the shoulder joint on all four is super tight and I'm afraid I'm gone break their arms off when posing them, which ruins a bit of the posing value as I like to play with them and pose them.

Several joints are pretty loose though, especially in their toes. Don't like their hands, they have a peeler grove for the weapons, which makes articulated fingers useless, as you can't really properly pose weapons as you wish, Leo can't hold the sword as you are supposed to be. I also would have liked that Leo's swords where curved like actual Nihonto, as thee is no such thing as a real straight bladed katana. The chains on Mikey's Nunchaku is very oversized and Raph's Sai could have had longer outer tongs.

Overall they beat the Toon Classics my miles though as their shell actually cover their butts properly and looks much better. Still wish they where smaller, they seemed smaller in-package, but I think that's just due to their stockier designs.

Sadly, Donnie got again a case of the derby eyes, not as bad as the first classics, but it's noticeable.

I just can't wait to see what they come up with should they hopefully decide to release a 1990 Shredder figure.

Think we'd get a Tokka and Rahzar next?

Its already been announced with pics that toon Shredder and Krang are next. I dont think we will see Tokka and Rahzar soon if at all.

Yeah I saw the prototypes, I was more just speculating on the idea of creating more "film" based classic figures as Shredder and Krang are more based on the 1987 series.

A 1990 Shredder would be incredible.

[slyme843]

i'm kinda new to the collecting TMNT figures but had em all when i was little..born in 87. so is the chef boy mail in super shredder pretty much the rarest figure out the the whole playmates line???

Would love to see a 1990 movie Shredder but knowing Playmates, it would need some serious repaint to look good.

[LeoRaph]

Anyone here in Oz seen the 1990 Movie figures in stores yet?

The new movie comes out in less than a week, with advance screening this weekend...you think ToysRus would be on top of that by now...
