Which TMNT Set?

~~Mew~~ · 03-05-2016, 07:49 AM

I'm going to get a set of TMNT figures for my birthday. But, I don't know which to get. I have separated two from the rest: TMNT Wave 1 Turtles or the Space gear TMNT. Which should I get?

Revoltech turtles are the best ones tbh.

Wave 1. I still dont have em and I regret getting all the villains first.

~~Mew~~ · 03-05-2016, 09:44 AM

Can't afford Revoltech TMNT.

Wave 1. Probably not the best in the market, but are the first product of the 2012 era and the most representative in my opinion.

I'm going with Dimension X, you should get the turtles and fugitoid 5 pack (their better than the normal space counterparts)

I would go with the wave 1 set, the battle shell versions are well done also. It really depends, do you want what looks like the Nick turtles in a comic book way (then wave 1 it is) or ones that stick closer to the CGI on the show (the battle shells).

If you were to go with the space ones the Target exclusive 5 pack with the chrome look are a good way to go.

The DX Turtles are my favorite release since they started putting these out.
I do have several sets of wave 1 that I use on the vehicles, but I'd still vote DX.

~~Mew~~ · 03-06-2016, 06:09 AM

Well, my first option will be Wave 1, but if I cant find them, I'll go DX. Then Battle Shell.

I'm not sure if they have wave 1 out still, but you can get the repaints of the 4 turtles if that helps

I dunno, I have many places I'm goin.

I still find the Battle Shell Turtles to be the best representation of them from the current show. They also seem to be the base figure for most of the variants they are doing lately such as the Dimension X Turtles.

The Battle Shell body is being reused for the DX Turtles, hinged shell and all. Except the basic belt is removed from the carapace, so you can't get a DX Turtle and remove all of the DX gear to get a normal looking Turtle.

Get the Mega Bloks krangs rampage set and buy the mikey/don minifigures separately. The mega bloks TMNT are awesome- better than anything playmates offers

The Wave 1 Turtles are still one of my favorite sets of Turtles.
