TMNT Sea Monster & Centaur Monster

I thought Sea Monster & Centaur Monster will be released in Fall 2007 with Sloth Monster. I don't know what is going on with Playmates. I hope they release the rest of the monsters. Could someone contact Playmates Toys when the
monsters will be released?

I'm guessing both were cut in the same fashion as Multiflex, Buzzrok, and Jagwar. Which is sad, as I wanted that Centaur.

They probably won't make it since in 2008 the NECA and the 2k8 toys and the two new toy lines(The Sub-Sewer line and Iron Mutant Line) will be out because if they have them all in one store people will start buying the other toys instead of TMNT Movie toys. Like I said a long time ago if you buy TMNT crap Playmates will keep making TMNT crap and all the figs in my closests stores are all Crappy Aprils.



They probably won't even have the licence to make more TMNT movie toys in 2009 since the other toys are out during that time.Maybe I'll stop buying Playmates' crap and Start buying NECA GOODS.

Um just so you are aware the NECA TMNT figures will not be in the same stores that have the playmates toys.

Oh then never mind about the NECA. But still the TMNT movie toy line is getting kind of boring. I'm going to start buying cartoon series toys.

I also contacted Dan Berger and he said that the new toy lines will utilize the movie figures.And he said that they will also make a couple more Mini Mutants.

I don't get why people are all about NECA making the better TMNT figures. Oh big deal, they made one really great sculpt for the Mirage turtles. We haven't yet seen what else is coming out by them and to be honest, TMNT is a much smaller fandom/franchise than He-Man, and in which is really limited for Neca to make.


Playmates is what MADE TMNT possible. Without that toy deal, we never would have had the other medias in which is what made TMNT possible. Every toy company cancels a couple of really good toy ideas per year. Playmates canned Jagwar, Purple Dragon, and more movie monsters. But to be honest, WERE the movie monsters selling? Hardly. It was the basic four green team, Casey, and the Shredder. More or less, that shows you that the collectors and then the retro TMNT fans are the ones holding the market together.

It's not Playmates that is making the crap. Even if it was Playmates that was making the crap, it's Mirage that is letting that crap be made. Look at the comic book store shelves and find what is passing as "TMNT Volume Four."

We're loyal to a messed up franchise. Laird is rewriting TMNT history and removing Eastman. Tones are going away. Ideas are going away. The ninjas are going away. It's all Laird's dreams now. And Laird doesn't even care much about the fans to give us what we really want.

Yeah, the best we have been getting for Mirage stuff is a couple of Raphael issues. The mini-series was nice and all but we've had a couple of Raph tales back-to-back. It's getting old. I miss seeing four turtles in an action packed comic book. Now all I get is a soap opera.

You can try to help kill Playmates' TMNT franchise so it is now Neca and only Neca. But doing that will kill TMNT evermore. Playmates helps fund the cartoon show, even if it is not to our liking. NECA wouldn't do that. Neca also wouldn't be readily available at department stores, and that will also call the franchise. Eventually Mirage would have no one offering to pay big bucks and there will be no more Mirage comics.

The movie line is getting boring because the movie was boring. It wasn't Star Wars. The toys that Star Wars can get made make the line and series living - TMNT the Movie lacks that. And what we should have gotten to be as Fast Forward, Series II, had to be cut.

What we need to fight is Laird...

First move for our plan is that we need to treat Laird as if he is a politician running for election or a company himself. So how does one David fan handle a Goliath company?

And I have the plans for this... But alas, I will not post them publically...

well you can't take down a Goliath company thinking that way because said company believes it's David.

I like Playmates Toys it's just I don't really like the Movie figures. I like the vintage, 2k3, FF, and even 2k8. Are they going to make Movie toys until the new show comes out?
