2013 TMNT Figures - Page 16

evilaniamtion · 01-07-2013, 08:55 PM

So I opened my Leo and let me say I am sadly disappointed in this figure. I am going to do a video review so you guys can see, but the articulation is basically 0.

Can you take some good pictures?

Given that Walmart is going to get the giant turtles, I thought were tru exclusives, does that mean we can expect to see the secret sewer lair at Walmart also?

I'm not surprised. I don't think Playmates intended this one to be as good as the first basic Leo figure. That's why I'm avoiding these ones. Once we get some good variants (whether it's cartoon accurate, based off of Space Heroes, or is very appealing), then I'll be buying. Not these silly "Ghostbuster" ones.

I wonder if they'll be any cheaper... Would be incentive to pick 'em up.

i guess they dont want to spend to mutch on the variants.you said in the review that the heads dont fit but was that from the nn factory or the ob i think someone said that the ob turtles did have a smaller head socket so perhaps they will fitt??

PhatRam32 · 01-08-2013, 08:10 AM

This pretty much the nail in the coffin for these variants.. no thank! Look forward to stockman, snakeweed, leatherhead and company.

*Oculus Orbus* · 01-08-2013, 08:45 AM

Thank you for the review, man. Seriously, it seems like Playmates is not even trying anymore.

*Bauer536* · 01-08-2013, 09:26 AM

No matter what the paint job is to the figures, they will be necessary to buy. However, why can't Playmates just flat out say, "It's the cost to make these figures that matters, and sometimes, if it's too high, then that's the reason why there is limited paint applications and lack of articulation." Why can't they just say that?

*Shogun26* · 01-08-2013, 10:59 AM

The new figure reminds me of a happy meal toy you'd buy at McDonalds or BK in the 90s.

UG

Oh well. Guess I'll skip the new figs and pick up the legos instead.

If you guys are talking about those big battle shell turtles. My walmart just made an endcap of them 40$ a piece.

Really, that high? I thought they would be closer to 19.99 or 24.99 each.

edhellman · 01-08-2013, 12:10 PM

EvilAnimation, thanks for the review!

I know you said the ball joint would have to be modified if we switch the Ooze Launchin' Leo's head with the regular 2012 figure, but does their flesh color match?

I'm ok with sanding down the ball joint and really want to put the ooze launchin' head on the regular body!!

Thanks!!!

Thanks man. Yeah I share your disappointment. First wave Nick turtles really put these to shame, but i'll live with it. I'll still get them... aside from the predictably bad paint jobs and TERRIBLE articulation, the most annoying part to me is that they swivel at the waist... when clearly their shells can't turn in that fashion

I accept that I'm not the target audience for the playmates toys, but man, those first wave Nick turtles were pretty fantastic. And then... this. It's a pretty big drop in quality.

They better not mess up Leatherhead or some of the other upcoming figures.

That's crazy, I heard the price was going to be $20 at Wal-Mart. Those figures, as great as they are, are not worth $40.

Threat · 01-08-2013, 02:48 PM

So much for being able to swap the heads. That was my only reason of interest in these. Oh well, saves me money.

as you can see after closer review the ooze head is actually smaller and slightly a different green.

Also I saw the new ooze vehicles today, I decide against them since I am trying to recoup after Holiday spending.
