Sadly better than anything they've done for TMNT in years...

On the plus, I really like that bridge playset and it's in the scale I work with.

I thought this was going to be about PM re-issuing the TMNT as Star Trek again...

I thought the exact same thing.

Those figures were awesome.

*Raph's Girl* · 01-25-2009, 03:32 PM

Here's better looking images of em: Please note that to me Nero looks crosseyed in all these images. *lol* Im gonna end up poor buying ALL the Spock (Nimoy and Quinto) varients!

The 3.75 inchers (which will be around $7 each):

The 6 inchers (around $9 each):

The 12 inchers (Around $30 each but Im sure I'll find em cheaper):

(the pic was too big so here's the link to the close up:

I agree they are better than most recent TMNT offerings...but that really isn't saying much.

StealthNinjaScyther · 01-25-2009, 05:47 PM

Eh, you can sort of tell who's supposed to be who. Maybe if the 3.75" lines (they have Terminator as well) are successful we'll see some 3.75" turtles.

**Jester** · 01-25-2009, 05:50 PM

Am I alone in not caring for the 3.75 scale? Maybe it's because most if not all of my figures are 6 inchers.

Sarah · 01-25-2009, 06:31 PM

Well now that Ive seen these I must admit that they're better looking than I was expecting them to be. and they're alot better than the Terminator figs that are being released. anyway, i'll probably buy the main crew but I don't think that i'll buy the rest of the line. by the way, the Barbie and Ken dolls just seem creepy. those things scare me.

You're not alone Jester it's been years since I've bought a small figure, they just don't do anything for me.

I have a couple DS9 figs from the 90's that are in the 3.75 in scale... but the rest of my trek figs are 12 inchers (except for a 6 in Zephram Cochrane).

**Jester** · 01-25-2009, 07:00 PM

They made DS9 3.75's...I had a friend who had Com. Ricker (sans goatee) that was about 3.75 and had a phaser sculpted into his hand and I think 7 POA.

The Riker that you speak of was made by Galoob. and Playmates didn't ever make any 3.75 inch DS9 figs, most of their Trek figs were 4.5 or 6 inches. but Applause made DS9 PVCs that were 3.75 inches.

Thanks Sarah.

*Coola Yagami* · 01-25-2009, 08:41 PM

Big ****in deal. Where's my Cyber Shredder and Khan figure. Dammit, they released the wrong KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!

**Jester** · 01-25-2009, 08:47 PM

You've been waiting a long time to use that one, weren't ya.

Wish I thought of that one

Are you guys kidding about these looking better than the more recent Playmates TMNT figs? I agree that Playmates has been slipping with the movie Turtles, but these things look bloody awful. And unless those hips have some kind of lateral movement, that articulation is unacceptable.

That said, I may end up buying the 6" female figure... if only so I can pretend I have a 6" Martha Jones.

The 6" and 12" look like crap, but the 3 3/4" look almost as good as Star Wars figures. Heck, if they had ball jointed necks, they'd have the exact same articulation. I use to think the same about T-hips, but that really aren't that bad if done right...which the 6" failed and 3 3/4" did decently from the looks of it. As for sculpting, I think all 3 scales have more details than about half TMNT figures of recent years. That combined with good articulation, I say these are better toys. Really, if I didn't know better I would have thought the 3 3/4" line was Hasbro's work at first glance.

Uhhh...why not just buy a Martha Jones figure? Isn't the Doctor Who line in 5"-6" scale?

PS It's hard to talk about a line with this many scales at once

P.P.S. I just remembered the man who played Khan died recently...and still haven't seen that movie...

You really ought to, Wrath of Khan and the other Nick Myer's Star Trek Movie, VI: The Undiscover Country, are the 2 best original Trek movies.
