Any Chance Of An Alopex Figure?

After all, the IDW comic is still ongoing, and she's more kid friendly than Old Hob, and there's now a TMNT collector line. Will Alopex get a figure? I really want one to display in my shelf or even play with.

I wish...i really don't see it happening

PS: I had a dream about a Ninjara figure the other day o_. there were all these moc figures scattered on the floor and one of them was Ninjara...it looked like something out of the next mutation line...weird.

I would love to see an Alopex figure and an Old Hob too, why not. The only hope we have to see those characters would be some custom figure.

Oh, you're right!As much as i'd like a new figure...I'd actually love to see that custom, there are some seriously talented people out there, i'm sure they could make it happen.

PS: on that note...i've actually seen a Ninjara custom before...it was, errr...um...unflattering :p
I tried my hand at a clay sculpt which wasn't much better: http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=36533 it never got anywhere, not sure where it is, maybe it broke, ha.

Honestly, unless they start a sub line for figures based on the comics, I don't know that I would even care if they produced such characters as a part of the current line. I can't imagine that they would produce a comic accurate figure and put it into a line which has such a drastically different style. So even if you got a Nick style figure called Old Hob or Alopex, they wouldn't be a great representation of the comic characters.

I completely agree...that'd be a shame, as chances are the redesign and stylization for the toon may make her resemblance to her comic look less accurate, maybe to the point it barely looks like her...like the old usagi fig ._. sure it's got the whole samurai rabbit thing going, but neither his face nor his attire look much like the comic/show's...i'm sure there are other examples.

But...maybe a smaller run figure sold online & at comic stores kinda deal would work?It's wishfull thinking but...

Oh and nice to meet you BTW!i use your site all the time to browse existing figures & pick my favorites for my wishlist!!

That's just what I was thinking. I dont care if Alopex was Nick-style or Comic-style. Jazwares should have had Robotnik, Super Sonic,.Metal, Rouge, and Blaze as normal run figures, and Jet, Espio, and Vector as multipack figures, and Big and Storm as short run online figures.

I'd love Alopex as a figure.

My wish would be for the TMNT Classics to follow MOTUC's footprint as an all-inclusive line drawing from every TMNT canon. Then, we could get a line with one general style boasting characters such as Alopex and Old Hob, Ninjara, Savanti, you name it.

Duuude...it'd be nice enough to even get regular figures of them as it is...but TMNT Classics style versions of them?That'd kick all kinds of ass
The articulation on those are so neat...
One can dream, lol.

I know!Let's make a kickstarter to hire plasticplayhouse to craft an Alopex figure, then we can have a battle royale, last dromer standing gets to keep it nah, i kid.
