Dream Ex SHREDDER

[Powder]

Ironically, the communicator is supposed to be purple, but is instead black.

I NEED THIS WITH ALL MY HEART! /faints

As gorgeous as this Shredder and the DreamEx Casey are, I know I'll sadly have to pass. With all these larger scale figures and their steep prices I'm getting to the point where I probably won't be buying stuff for my collection anymore unless it's vintage. I cant afford these kind of figures which really bums me out.

Its all Playmates's fault. they are stingy with the Turtles license and that's why any GOOD turtle figures will be these expensive 6 scale stuff or Con exclusive NECA stuff. I feel your pain. Playmates doesn't want us to have good 7 inch figures

It's complete bull and I've stopped collecting anything new by them. The exception is my 12 inch. Bebop from the new movie but that was bought with a gift card and to repaint for fun. Playmates can go to hell for all I care. Cancelling their Classic Shredder and Krang was a big part of that decision but after the new Neca announcement I made the final decision for not supporting playmates all together anymore.

I like this a lot. A 1:6 Shredder will be great in the 1:6 cabinet.

Very cool. I have minor gripes, (stupid tech lines on everything these days) but this is SOOOO much better than pin-head Shredder.

[Splinter]

As I said elsewhere...

Holy crap. I really wish it was 6" scale... but I am awful tempted to get him as a centerpiece of my TMNT collection. Wasn't super thrilled by the Casey Jones as he wasn't a big part of the original toon... but wow. All they have to do is announce Bebop and Rocksteady in this line and I give in. Shredder flanked by the Gruesome Twosome in this scale would be a thing of pure beauty.

I'm not a fan. The helmet looks bulky, and I prefer a smooth and polished chrome look as opposed to the textured look. That, and there are unnecessary seams on his clothing.

At some point, we'll get something better. There is no dearth of awesome TMNT stuff coming out right now.

[The Fifth Turtle]

Does he have "steps" cut into his hair? Scars?

[Splinter]

Detail will always be added when you take a flat 2-Dimensional cartoon character and have to make a 3-Dimensional realistic product out of them. That's why you have metal that looks like metal rather than flat silver plastic. It's certainly less jarring than the First Gokin Shredder.

• The side of the helmet seems off as texture or glossy-ness or something, and the loincloth seems too short and wide.
  
• The cape is shredded? Is that supposed to be a pun?
  
• 1/6th scale too- so its gonna fit with MONDO scale?
  
• The ooze is purple?
• Communicator? NAILED IT
  

Overall it seems like this thing couldnt decide if it wanted to be the 91 movie shredder or the OT shredder...

Sadly I will still prob buy it cause its the best one to date...

That's what I was saying before-some questionable design choices

Just like the Casey tatts, kinda unneeded.

Personally, I'm really happy to see more 1/6th scale product.
I get the desire for the smaller stuff for people with huge collections, etc, but you just can't get the detail in.

Henson Turtles @ 1/6th is the grail for me.

I wouldn't mind having a shelf of 1/6 scale TMNT stuff. Dream Ex Casey and Shredder look great. But this leaves me with a big question of what 1/6 scale turtles I'd like to go with them, if any.

I don't want the Bay design 1/6 scale ThreeZero turtles because I don't want to drop that much money on those designs.

I don't want the Mondo 1/6 scale Mirage turtles because I have the NECA Mirage versions and they are perfect. No need to re-buy something that I love.

I don't want the Eastman concept design Three Zero turtles because I don't like the designs.

I've seen a preview pic of the Dream Ex turtles and from what I've seen, they are meh. But I guess they are the best candidates for the job so far. Maybe pics of actual product will change my mind. Or perhaps maybe this will just be a turtle-free shelf.

It's a problem. My other grail is Neca's Mirage Turtles, but scaled to Palladium heights, with more detail, in 1/6th.

When I go back and look at these again...I think they are growing on me. They really do look like recent Eastman covers come to life...Price and 1/6 scale though...ugh

Coro I think you're thinking of the ThreeZero Eastman concept 1/6 scale turtles. Those are the ones with Raphael and the weird scars/stripes going on.
The Dream Ex turtles are different, I believe. I've only seen them in the unpainted prototype stages.

You brought them up, he was replying to you.
