i actually like these figures and think they did a good job with them

While I agree with you on the new Classic Collection figures (I dig them quite a bit)... The old Movie Star Turtles (at least the small versions, not the Giant ones) did not have the same sculpt bodies. Each one was slightly different.

That being said though- I really don't mind them reusing bodies on these. The old Movie Star figures only consisted of 7 body part sculpts (head, 2 arms, 2 legs, front and back of shell), which amounts to only 28 uniquely sculpted pieces across all 4 Turtles. The Classic Collection Movie figures have almost that many individual pieces in just one arm. Paying for the tooling on that many uniquely tooled pieces would be insane nowadays... With highly articulated figures, parts re-use is the name of the game. And since the heads and belts are really the most differentiating elements of the Turtle suits in the film, I don't mind the body sharing at all.

Here is my review of the set if you'd care to hear more of my thoughts on them- http://www.tmntfilm.com/2014/08/merc...s-classic.html
