Was Playmates toys at the SDCC this year?

I've looked on numerous websites covering the san diego comic convention this year & non of them even mention Playmates toys, or any new TMNT figures.

Did Playmates even attend the con this year?

Anyone know anything that I obviously don't?

Google for searching the web & looking at the SDCC 04' coverage from various toy-related websites (figures.com, action-figure.com, etc.).

Why do you ask, am I looking in the wrong spot or did I miss the complete obvious again?

well go to mikeystmnt.com and scroll down a little, or search for comic con on dogpile.com

Playmates didn't go to SDCC this year, because the Simpsons line is over and they view TMNT primarily as a kid based line, and thus they didn't feel like they had any reason to go to SDCC. I think they should've gone anyway, because the collector's market for TMNT is bigger than they think, but oh well.

At least if last year was any indication we'll see the full 2005 lineup in October at the fall toy fair, so it's not like we have to wait too much longer anyway, just about 2-3 months.

Oh, that bites then.

Still would have liked to see some new TMNT stuff.

Hey yeah, that's true. I hope the 2005 lineup has a lot of the fighters from the Big Brawl 5-parter thing. Lots of cool looking aliens that'd make neat toys.

Thanks for the info dudes.
