UK Toy Fair TMNT Report - Page 3

Thanks for the report Discogod.

It sounds like there's some interesting releases to look forward to. It's going to be hard to resist picking up the Nick Turtles now that Bebop and Rocksteady are confirmed for release. It will soon be possible to complete all the "classic" characters in the Nick style.

Powder's rendering reminds me a bit of NM. If the turtles look similar to the drawing I can get on board for sure.

Sad he doesn't have the elbow pads

To quote everyone here, thanks for the write up.
Looking forward to Nick R and B - makes sense to see them seen as they've made it through to IDW prints too.
A shame about rahzar - i wanted him as a figure.
the write up of slash made me think of the lizard guy with the tiny head in the super mario bros movie.

I definitely want a Slash figure and R&B.

AHHHHH give me that blimp!!!!!!!!!

*CyberCubed* · 01-24-2014, 09:33 AM

Was there any mention if Bebop and Rocksteady were humans before mutation? I wonder if they'll make new mutation versions of them where they turn back into humans.

Please tell me Bebop was still a black man with a purple mohawk! PLEASE

Easy Cubed, easy. Does it matter if he's still a black man with a purple mohawk? Not really, as he will be a boar, which aren't black. This isn't the OT or IDW.

And thanks for the descriptions Discogod! Now the waiting begins.

Bebop was actually a 13-year-old girl.

Seriously, I've told you guys everything I know/remember. The rep I spoke to didn't know anything other than what was on the press release - she was incredibly friendly, but knew nothing about the TMNT (as is usually the case at these things).

*Discogod* · 01-24-2014, 10:27 AM

Now, here's the catalogue I promised - nothing new, but worth posting for posterity's sake. Forgive the quality, I've no working scanner right now so had to take photos.

But he wasn't a 13-year-old girl in the OT.

I would have loved playing with the z-line sets as a kid.

*CyberCubed* · 01-24-2014, 10:40 AM

But did Bebop still have a purple Mohawk? You didn't mention it

OK people, stop PMing me. Especially those of you sending multiple PMs all asking the same thing. Seriously...

You brought it upon yourself

Heather Breckel · 01-24-2014, 11:53 AM

For some reason I'm really excited about the "practice pals". It's like they're bringing back those wrestler dolls from the 80s, but with turtles.

Stop Spamming Disco he told us every he knows i guess we ill have to wait for USA toy fair to see and we could wait

*turtlefanforever* · 01-24-2014, 12:27 PM

Very lack luster reveal. Hopefully the new classics line is shown at the USA toy fair. It's nice to hear more though. Any info is good info. Well with the new stuff it's usually bad but you get the point.

sluggedup226 · 01-24-2014, 12:27 PM

Thanks for all the info!
