I can't recall the brand, its Chinese. I've been using these for years now.

Thanks guys!

Ooooohhh! Also worth noting: right now I'm using pegboard mounted on my walls and have the figures on pegs. I love it because I lie to rearrange stuff a lot and it works well for that!

I think a US equivalent would be 3M Command Strips. I've never used them so I can't attest to them leaving your walls mark-free.

I like that peg board idea for rearranging.
I figured that I like to move things around as well, so only recently, I worked out an optimum distance between hooks to allow for any arrangement of figures ( sad but true). Over time, there will be a grid of sticky hooks, letting me arrange as I like.
Mind you, bringing my Turtles into my Who room doesn't really allow too many more on the wall. I need aTurtles room! Do I need my guest bedroom?

Any one find the colored ooze and don't want the turtles?

I want to get the set, but haven't seen them yet.

Oooo I will look into that thanks again!

Is there any site online that sells Rat King, Cockroach, Ninjas in Training Turtles, etc. etc.?

None of the stores near me have anything but ONLY the Turtles. I check about weekly, and at this point it's been depressing failure after failure.

Couple better pics of Mutagen Man, etc. over at Toynewsi. Still not pleased with them, but it is nice to see the Squirrelenoid does have a retractable alien tongue.

Thanks for sharing! I do have to say, the official pics make them look a lot nicer:

Kirby Bat:

Spoiler:

Mutagen Man (I can still just barley see his insides) :

Spoiler:

Squirrelanoid:

Spoiler:

Expect most of the paint apps to be removed by the time they're released...

Also, TNI has in hand pics of B&R CC figures: http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=20&itemid=21083

IMO, I'd say Classics Collection Rocksteady might look more realistic than the original retro Rocksteady.... Not sure exactly how I feel about that?...! While Bebop just looks more redunkulous (felt the need for that specific "word") than his character, not sure why we need to go in that direction....? I'll definitely buy both, but unless Bebop grows on me A LOT, I'll always treat him like the red headed step child. Maybe it's because I always preferred him of the 2 in OT.

Paula told me to maybe expect Battle Shells in Dec.yay!

Oh man the artwork for the Classic Collection figures is embarrassing. What is up with Bebop? Jesus.

Why couldn't they just take the artwork from the original '88 cards and repurpose them? The art for the lines from '88 through '90 were flawless in execution just in the artwork department alone.

Slime State Alumni · 09-19-2013, 09:49 PM

Did anyone ever mention the retooling of the Classic Collection rerelease Shredder's leg? I saw a review for him recently and noticed it's not the same position it was before. Or am I going crazy?

*Powder* · 09-19-2013, 10:09 PM

That was retooled way back in 2009 when they re-released the figures for the 25th anniversary. That's why it's not being mentioned.

Not really good from my experience. I used those on my old walls and the paint started to crack and peel... i ended up destroying my wall and a few cards but heh, the walls are due for a new coat of paint anyway.

I recently got my self a set of the new mousers and the turtles in training 2 pack with Mikey and Raph and I got to say Playmates did a pretty good job on these. I can''t wait to find the new Shredder to replace the original one they released last year. Its really sad they didn't get it right in the first place though.

*Zulithe* · 09-19-2013, 11:15 PM

squirrelanoid looks way too awesome. if he doesn't become one of the best-selling villains i'll be surprised

Especially since it looks to be the tallest basic figure in the line even looking to beat Snakeweed.

Really like the Rocksteady.
