All though they come with the same weapons, they're all brand new sculpts. Donnie's staff is now longer, etc. etc.

I just got word from playmates that the new battle shell turtles won't be released until spring 2014!

That's exactly what I was thinking. I emailed her back to make sure if those were the actual figures she was speaking of and not some different 11" figures that may be coming next year.

She just emailed me back, this is what she said

Oops….. then someone told me wrong, I guess they are going to be shipping before December.

These will be in your stores in the next five weeks.

The downside to the Battle Shell Turtles for me is the lack of imagination in the weapons !
Comparing the classics, with cool new items to these guys! Nah!
Their weapons are scaled down versions of their 11" counterparts.

Now, let me not put you off, as the figures themselves are very nice. I just find the lack of cool extras disappointing, as the original releases got a better selection on their rack.

Later today I'll post comparison shots. Classic-New-11"

As long as they have their regular weapons I don't care. I may buy 2 of each of these.

*DVD* · 10-11-2013, 09:23 PM

Each has their regular set as well as the shelled set.

I look forward to those comparison shots. Can't wait to get my hands on the new figures; are they on sale now in your area yet?

*DVD* · 10-11-2013, 09:43 PM

They are not exactly, for sale. Not yet marketed in China, or Asia for that matter. However, these are now being shipped to the US for sale in November.
I do not know when the UK are getting these.
About to start taking pictures. I hate taking them out of their packs, but know that they are much more fun once they are !!

Well that's good to know. They definitely are!

Some of you guys might not collect other lines, but the best example I can use is Mattel's wwe line. The seires they have slated for early/spring of a year has a tendency to pop up in stores late nov/december, just in time for christmas. So because newtrailizer and battel shells are slated for spring 2014, there is a very good chance the will be on store shelves in december.

sluggedup226 · 10-12-2013, 09:14 PM

The person I talked to made a mistake, they will be in stores by November.

Have you finished those pics yet?

*Ninjinister* · 10-15-2013, 07:56 PM

Just saw a dude on an action figure Facebook group has 7 packs of M.O.U.S.E.R.S. all found at retail. Meanwhile I haven't seen them at all yet

If it weren't for the fact that it costs so much more to buy 'em and ship 'em online, I'd just bite the bullet and order from like Amazon or something instead of waiting for them to show up.

Sucks that these toy line isn't distributed equally ... Over in my area we always get the figures 3-4 wks after they are sited else where...

But once they start coming they don't stop.. I spotted 6 mouser packs at TRU a coupe days ago...

It's taken me a few weeks (busy with Halloween, work, and a new baby) but I finally got a review of the Cockroach Terminator up! He's day 16 of my 31 Days of Toy Terror (you know, because some people are scared of bugs

)

I do think this guy is my favorite bad guy figure yet in this line. He's just awesome and overwhelmingly fun!
