NYCC Toy/Collectible Reveals

*Powder* · 10-06-2016, 06:26 AM

Anyone have expectations from certain attending parties? There's usually a few new things shown at this event, be it from Playmates, Funko, or a number of others. Post your findings here!

Anyone know if Tamashii Nations will be there? More TMNT cartoon figures would be top of my wishlist, and hopefully an improved version of the Shredder they showed at SDCC since the helmet on that wasn't correctly proportioned.

*Powder* · 10-06-2016, 06:31 AM

They are, yeah. Reportedly selling Raphael there early, too!

Great, I really hope they've either fixed Shredder's oversized helmet or that someone attending has the initiative to bring it to their attention and make sure they're aware of the issue. Granted, they fixed the issues with the Turtles so I like to think they know what they're doing, but on the other hand we've seen so many examples of toy companies not taking the time to guage fan reactions and just saying "it's too late to change anything" (which is one of Mattel's favorite lines, usually stated the instant the first prototype is shown leaving zero opportunity for tweaks!). Better safe than sorry I say.

This isnt playmates, Mattel, or one of the other generic kids toys companies. SH Figuarts is an advanced and official toy company. I have a high level of confidence in them generating a quality product.

Looks like the same Display Piece figure from SDCC, the pose gives a better look at some of the details he have.

D Piddy 1982 · 10-06-2016, 11:21 AM

I am so pleased that we're finally getting some decent figures of Shredder.

Hope one day we can get Fred Wolf April, Splinter, Bebop and Rocksteady (Playmates Classics line really missed their shot with those guys). I'm guessing SH Figuarts are our best bet for these.

For me, Casey wasn't a prominent enough character (in Fred Wolf Turtles) to warrant a Fred Wolf style figure.

Hmm acording to Michell playmate does not have something new on display at nycc either. Wonder if they are a shame to show off all the crap they make since now there is other that make better tmnt stuff.neca shoud have some great stuff do

*Autbot_Benz* · 10-06-2016, 05:04 PM

good Playmates should be ashamed at all the happy meal dollar store crap they put out when other companies put effort and care about the adult collector.

I agree. I (and I think a lot of other people feel the same way) would totally be fine with the craptastic line that Playmates seems to keep making worse and worse if they just put a little bit of effort forward. Instead of making 37 variations of peg warmer Mikey's, make a smaller run of adult items. Give us some of the main cast that are similar to the Revoltech figures or NECA's or Figuarts. I mean, Marvel Legends go for $20 a pop and that doesn't stop anyone from buying them. I'm primarily a 1/6 collector except for Turtles (I do both 1/6 and 1/12) and for 1/12 I'm totally OK with the $20 to $70 range if the quality/accuracy is there.

I feel like instead of aiming our anger for Playmates at Playmates, we should aim it toward Nickelodeon and show them how much we want change by letting them know and continuing to give our money to other companies.

I, for the record, do buy the Playmates toys but only the main line. No variants, mutations, eye popping, none of that. (unless from a show i.e. Mystics, Savage Mikey)

So, neca(st) month for Don. Cool.

I was there today and there wasn't much that we haven't seen. Mega Bloks had a nice display, but only already released modern sets. NECA's 12" Raph was shown and both he and Don looked great. They also had Figurarts Raph available for sale.
