TMNT 2017 Action Figures

[DVD]

I don’t know about that myself, as I’m keeping that set boxed and displayed that way .



On another note , the other 10 figures are enroutr and should be here any time

Looks like my Wal-Mart has joined others in ditching the Turtles line. Literally just had Mutant XLs left and they were grouped with all of the other figures of similar size.

Bugs me something awful because I've never even seen singlecard Samurai Usagi, Monster Hunter Raph/Leo, or the Bebop and Rocksteady line anywhere yet.

@DVD did your black outfit Usagi come in a regular figure packaging?

Same here. Never saw a monster hunter or wanted series here.

Usagi was loose.

Oh okay. Because the only release of that figure here was an extremely limited and expensive one exclusively from Sakai himself. I would not have been disappointed to get a regular release or even one loose.

I’ll see what I can arrange

And here’s the pic :



All figures (except talking Don) are the new paint ups (Ok, cept TigerClaw),
April is the most obvious with a new shirt. The Ninja Shout figures all have the colored pads. I got an extra Don to retail a full set. He didn’t come in the new batch.
Rhazar is cool in the green. Casey with removable mask is neat.
I chickened out of the repaint of Muckman. I was about to start when my art teacher mate asked to do it coz he thought it was a cool project. He then said bluntly that he at least wouldn’t mess it up!!! I had to agree and left it with him. He said he’d have it completed by Friday!!

I have seen some pretty amazing Muckman re-paints on Instagram. Here's one:

Good luck with your own repaint, maybe show that to your friend to point him in the right direction??

There was also a Mutant XL size Usagi.


But yeah, I checked some local Targets and Walmarts around me and there was no TMNT figures anywhere. The Muckman will become the new "Scratch" figure.

[DVD]

Thanks for that list.
Yeah, with the range essentially finished, I’m catching up on these repainted figures to retain a complete collection of the 2012 figures.
That Muckman repaint is awesome. I was aiming for a paint app that modeled the prototype pics. I’ll srnd my mate the pic you linked to .... I can’t see him doing that in afternoon !! Haha!!
That said, we have some really tanented students who probably could.

[DVD]

On that, I’d seen the Turtles with the color coordinated weapons a while back: I thought they were bootlegs !! Ha ha!!

I saw them as another fun throwback to the vintage line, don't mind them at all - in fact I kind of want to buy more of those figures just to have extra day-glo weapons!

It's pretty sad. I've been collecting this line since they debuted in 2012ish. I don't live in a big area, so we only have a couple stores where I could find TMNT, but it always seemed to get the newest waves. I'm only missing a couple figures and vehicles for a complete set. I'll probably have to get them online, but i'll miss scouring the shelves for new figs.

Got a few more 2017 releases today.
Got a couple of figures that I initially didn’t expect to be particularly good...
80s garb BB n RS !!!
I was more than pleasantly surprised. These guys are great!!!



Happy to have them out and on display, but I am thinking of getting another pair to keep in packs.

Just visited the playmates site: the Turtles pages are gone, completely.
I wonder if it’s being updated, a glitch, or the line has actually been dropped!!

[wpugh2424]

Very disappointing

Muckman. Painting project :
Currently looking like this after some detailing today.



Eyes and mouth touch up tomorrow.
I want to dirty up the sewer lid and add slime to it before re-attaching .

Wait...yours has a sewer lid?

The figure released over here in the US did NOT, to all of our dismay. At least none of the 3 of them that I found had a sewer lid. Yours did??? And it was detachable????

I know the one I showed you from Instagram had one, but I figured the customizer added it (or maybe had gotten ahold of a prototype).
