New TMNT figure pictures and reviews

[tmntman]

It's good to hear they're fixing the sculpts even if it's just a little. When you had that comparison shot it really shows how much the body changes with just a little more leg improvement.

Great site, and love the reviews/pics but I think you're a little hard on the figure. (that didn't sound right)

They may not be perfect (I think we all have images of perfect tmnt figures in our minds) but they're not 4/10 worthy, especially since they're fixing things. The new Batman Begins figures are like 4/10 these are more like 6/10-7/10 Though I guess it all comes down to opinion. Any TMNT figure gotten a perfect score yet?

Yeah, a little change makes a big difference. But Playmates still is designing the figures with the hips designed at a very strange angle. It is quite frustrating since they could be using the same type of joint with much better results with just a very minor change.

You may be right about being hard on them. But when I started to write these reviews I wanted to make sure I was being honest about what I was reviewing. I didn't want to be the type of person who never gave a low score. But with the Turtle variants in particular I'm even tougher. I figure that a big part of why you buy these figures isn't for the figure per say. After all, you can see in the one photo that I certainly have enough figures of any one of the turtles already. So I tend to weight the score on the accessories quite heavy and with the exception of Monster Trappers Donatello, they aren't that great.
