I like em all.
Thanks for the toy fair in pack photos.
I am keeping my eyes open for these appearing on line. The shop that I got all if the first wave from, we'll, he is closing down.
The Snakeweed is cool due to being a really wired and different type if figure. Baxter is nice. Leatherhead has always been a favorite of mine. So, of them all, I am looking forward to him most of all.

Your welcome just helping the community to spark up some hope for these upcoming figures so we all can hope to find them very soon and yes your point is another thing that makes Snakeweed so great that he is without a doubt the most unique character in the show as far as design and concept.

Yeah, I mean, I could cross the border but that's all too time consuming. Much easier this way as he'll be delivering to me.

A savings of roughly $75.52 on all four with HST factored in.

They said Shredder Supreme should be available this fall so close to July or August at best for it.

I was in CVS the other day and to my surprise, they were selling TMNT figures. They had two Dogpounds, one Fishface, and one Splinter, $9.99 each.

Look at this weird shot I found after a persistent search for Snakeweed I have discovered that he might have molded and could even be flexible tendrils on his back because I know for sure that his tentacles were in slight different poses in other shots while the back shows it looks molded in his back. You guys especially Snakeweed101 let me know what you think.

On another note after lots of research if all the joints are there head, ball hinged arms, wrists, antennas, ball hinged legs, knees, and all six tendrils on his back, he could have 21 points of articulation 23 if you include his removable claw tongues. That would be awesome because his articulation would make a villain figure best even the turtles at the amount of articulation.

I have Raph and leo now, from the Nick line, with Don and Mike on their way. Is there any other Nick figures that are on the same level of awesome as the 4 TMNTs?.

The Dog pound does not look that great, but the Fishface looks cool.

How is the Shredder and Splinter?

I think Splinter has an absolutely terrible sculpt and paint job - on the show, he looks like Splinter, but the toy version looks like Goat Man.

Shredder I also was not impressed with either the sculpting or the paint job. I passed him up, too.

I've bought two turtles - the same ones as you did! I think the four basic Turtles and the bigger ones look fantastic. I'm passing on everything else.

Well unfortunately no one actually at the moment are up there with the turtles. Shredder only has 16 points which is actually not bad, but everyone else is only at 13 and even below the 12 minimum they say the figures have. Sadly Leatherhead and Kraang are some of the worst as Leatherhead has 8 from the looks of it and Kraang only has 5.

I assume you're talking about articulation?

I think I'm in the rarity here, but I prefer less articulation because the joints always look weird. I look at sculpt and paint job first, originality of concept second, and quality of accessories third. Articulation doesn't even come into play, beyond a basic level (I'd like the arms and legs and neck to be able to move - I was never a fan of stuff like some of the Real Ghostbusters Haunted Humans who didn't even have movable legs).

Is it just me? Does anybody else totally overlook articulation? I know as a kid I couldn't care less about it, and neither did any of my friends... And I think the TMNT Classics figures look almost robotic, there's so much articulation on them.

That is exactly what I thought, I shall get Don and Mike.

I did think Splinter looked off and way to small.

Thanks for the insight guys

I decided on the 4 turtles, metal head, shredder and a foot soldier so far. I had dog pound in my hand but put him back. I may pick him up next week with all the toys sales at TRU, Target, and Kmart still haven't decided. I've yet to see April and krang and I believe they aren't even shipping them anymore. The case packs I've seen the last few days are nothing but ooze and basic turtles. You would think out of 24 figures they would stick a krang in there.

I for one like articulation and yes that's what I meant. I also meant that even the quality of the other figures aren't as solid as the turtles. The Shredder was almost perfect if they just gave him knee articulation and gave some more paint to him. Dogpound is sadly the worst atm as he has almost little to no paint on him. The Kraang feel extremely cheap and flimsy so he's not that good and even you must understand that battle poses are so frustrating. Also I do have this to show it's Snakeweed's box on the back with his bio and other figures in the line, but for some reason Leatherhead isn't on the back. I hope this doesn't mean it will be a while before we find these in stores. In case anyone can't read it, the bio says this

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8087/8...967be8c0_o.jpg

The venomously-vined Snakeweed was once no more than a human lowlife "snake", snitch and ally to the evil Kraang! Exposed to Mutagen Ooze on the turtles' first topside mission, the former thug is now a botanical beast. Lashing out at anything foolish enough to come in close contact. Capable of instantly re-growing his leafy limbs, Snakeweed would be unstoppable if not for his vulnerability to fire.

Weapons: Multiple Venomous Vines
Team: The Kraang

^ Well they had to put him on one of the teams, and since Snake worked for the kraang, that team is the most obvious choice. As for Leatherhead, I think he IS in the wave, despite him not being in the booklets or card backs. He was shown on the commercial alongside Snakeweed.
