2014 TMNT Figures

[Chris]

Really disappointed in the classic movie figures. Such a missed opportunity.

The new movie figures don't actually look that bad. Guess the designs are growing on me!

Is the armor bits removable? Cause that would be mega awesome, the basic battle shells a re cool and all, but the hinge for opening the shell looks a bit big, these guys wouldn't have that issue.

wizard don looks so epic with his beard on... anyway, since those are prototypes of course they look pretty boss. I do like them, but gonna have to keep expectations in check for the in-package versions, since we know how Playmates loooves to cheap out on paint. Prime example: the weapons. Look how colorful and nice they are! Yeah, well expect the version you buy to have NO color other than its plastic, if i'm wrong it will be a small miracle.

sigh, i wish I could say I was excited about those Classic movie turtles But the likenesses in the face is really not representative... looks very Toony, the bodies look pretty good though. Wonder what happened here?

Didn't the already show off previews for these earlier? I thought the heads looked more screen-accurate in those?

I think Newtralizer REALLY needs to take a dump, can someone show him to the bathroom?



Also while I'm still feeling mixed on slash, now that we have a clearer pic his head doesn't look that ridiculously small, at least to me

The movie turtles. Does Mikey have a pot belly? The plastron seems to be a bit poking outward.

Wow...I was actually going to buy the classic movie turtles but they look terrible...it'll be a pass for me. I found some better pictures of them:



Donnie looks so bad! What the heck Playmates?







Slash, Tiger Claw and Biotroid all look cool...but Slash and Biotroid aren't actually going to look like that when they're released...are they? Also, I hate that they show Tiger Claw like this because half of those paint apps will obviously be removed in the end. The Larp Turtles look cool. Blimp looks cool now that I know it's supposed to look like an actual turtle. 2014 movie turtles still look terrible...surprised we haven't seen the basics yet. Also...Tur-fly-tle figure, sweet! I find it a little hard to believe that this is everything, though...do you guys think we'll see more?

[Zulithe]

Do you guys think Playates actually tests their prototypes on people to see how they like them or do they just throw whatever they finish into the market? Cause I'm really starting to wonder if they do ANY market research at all.

Those movie turtles don't look like the movie at all

I don't think they look BAD, but since they are supposed to resemble the film and not the cartoon show... well, they've already done that...

Y'all are crazy...or cant read one. The classic movie figures shown here are PROTOTYPES!!! Not the finished product. Calm down folks...it can change for the better, or the worse. Stop looking for the bad in everything

I hope it's not. As I recall Playmates doesn't really show anything new at SDCC ever, which is usually where toy companies show more new things otherwise.

So we still need to see the 2012 Rocksteady and Bebop since they were shown elsewhere...and COME ON, Playmates, where is Karai!? Don't tell me the new movie turtles are going to control the rest of the year.

You're being too easy on them. We've been through this prototype game before, many times. The on-shelf versions will look almost identical to those, I promise you. Paint apps could vary some (usually for the worse), but other than that: these are final I bet.

[Donatello19]

Ok, what the heck did they do to Newtralizer? He looks TERRIBLE. Please tell me these aren't the final production pieces! Come on, look at this:

Spoiler:

Dojo Splinter looks wicked, his face is a lot more accurate than the basic Splinter:

Spoiler:

Here's Rahzar:

Spoiler:

Foot Bot:

Spoiler:

11 inch Shredder:

Half Shell Heroes:

Turtle Blimp:

So you can post them as your own?

Also Playmates prototypes only get worse, man.

I dig the larp turtles. Does anyone know of the Concept is exclusive to the to toys or will they be appearing in the show?

I agree, kinda like them. I assume these are deluxe size though? I'd like turtles with action features in the basic size so they fit with the other figures.

[Bry]

The 1990 movie figures don't look terrible... body-wise at least. The faces have issues. Donatello in particular looks hilarious. Retool/resculpt the heads and I think they'd look just fine, but... what are the odds of that?

Leap turtles? Are you talking about the throw and battle deluxe figures?

I assume you meant the LARP Turtles. From what Ciro said at SDCC, there is an episode where LARP comes into play.

[MST3KFan]

I'm getting this really bad feeling that starting now until just around summer the shelves will have new Nick TMNT figures coming out, but after that it's new movie figures all over for the rest of the year.

So not counting Casey Jones, Squirrelanoid, Mutagen Man, and Kirby Bat now, we have...

Slash
Rahzar
Newtrailzer
Robotic Foot Soldier
Tiger Claw
Dojo Splinter
Biotroid
LARP Leo
LARP Don
LARP Raph
LARP Mike
Rocksteady
Bebop

[Jester]

So...do the movie Turtles have head sculpts based on the old Movie Star Line?
