TMNT Classics Collection Wave 3 - Page 13

I like the 1990 movie figures a little better paint job on them and possibly a different type of material on the bandana would be good so they are not shiny perhaps something more rubber like but other than that they are pretty good I'd be happy with them as they are.

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 02-19-2014, 05:20 AM

These will sit nicely on my desk i think. Can't wait to get them.

Cowabungawolf89 · 02-19-2014, 11:27 AM

As soon as we have the option to preorder them, I'm gonna do it

*NinjaMan* · 02-19-2014, 12:04 PM

I saw Bebop and Rocksteady once in the store and that was the time I bought them. Went back to Toys R Us a week later and the whole area they took up was empty.

ls1z28 · 02-19-2014, 02:19 PM

I've been searching for those two since they came out, with no luck!!!

*The Boston Ninja Turtle* · 02-19-2014, 03:07 PM

Michelangelo,Beebop and Rocksteady i got at toys r us

Mike i got when the line first came out

i had to order the other 3 turtles via Amazon

Cowabungawolf89 · 02-19-2014, 08:11 PM

Bebop and Rocksteady are about 60 bucks together now on Amazon.

I think that might be the best price you're gonna get for those two unless they come back to TRU shelves.

I gotta say, after the production issues with Rocksteady and the overall lack of paint apps/obvious lack of direction on the part of the company and how they're handling the line as a whole, I was almost sure that I was finished with purchasing anything else from Playmates. Now that these images for the 1990 movie turtles keep making the usual rounds on toy news websites, it's really starting to sink in for me how much I'm over this line and this company as a whole.

On the bright side, I look forward to seeing what NECA does with the line 20 years down the road.

Cowabungawolf89 · 02-19-2014, 11:50 PM

I doubt NECA is going to get the license for tmnt again. In 20 yrs the entire franchise could be over but we'll see

goodfellaray · 02-20-2014, 12:42 AM

Does anybody know if the classic collection turtles received the same bootleg treatment that the NECA turtles did? I'd love to have all four for display, but I'm seeing a bunch of them pop up on ebay that are being shipped from China. That right there is telling me that they're more than likely going to be knockoffs. I heard the NECA turtles were actually pretty good quality as far as knockoffs go, but I'm not sure I want to go that route with the classic collection figures.

I came across a site while searching online for a place to snatch 'em up, but I don't know if this site can be trusted. The price looks good for all four turtles. Here's the link, any feedback on this site would be great.

EDIT: I did some more searching on amazon and found all four decently priced. I'd rather buy from there than take a gamble on some site I stumbled on.

*turtlefanforever* · 02-20-2014, 12:08 PM

Amazon is almost always the best way to go! Trustworthy easy. That's how I got my bebop. And yeah any hope of NECA getting a license is a no go unless playmates buys them out. That said I would like more people with licensing. The more products out there the better. I don't think this franchise will be dead in 20 years. Comics can still be coming out. The show will certainly be done but another movie might arise or maybe even another show, who knows. I don't think this thing ever really dies but bad stuff as of late isn't really helping its case to stay. Nonetheless I actually like these figures and I'll be buying them.

BBTS is one of the best and most trustworthy online toy shops. I don't use them that often myself (prefer to buy from UK sellers as it's a little cheaper), but I've never had an issue with them, and I know a lot of people that use them regularly with no problems.

Oh, awesome! That's great to hear. Thank you for the reply.

*Powder* · 02-20-2014, 05:48 PM

Goodfellaray- Yes, there are bootleg classics. Try to stick with US buyers if possible.

groogrux0609 · 02-20-2014, 09:23 PM

anyone know if they are still going to release krang and foot soldier in the retro classics line?

*Powder* · 02-20-2014, 09:33 PM

Still? I wasn't under the impression they were ever going to make them. At any rate, that line has been cancelled.

Is it official? or just an impression?

the fixer · 02-21-2014, 06:43 AM

I did a quick paint-over on one of the movie one figures to show how they could look with a more detailed paintjob.
I picked Michaelangelo since his facesculpt is the best of the four.
I added freckles, skin around the eyes and the actor's eyeslits (which were supposed to go unnoticed).
Oh, and I made the bandana a bit longer as it appears to be on the short side on Playmates' prototypes.

What do you guys think?

*Candy Kappa* · 02-21-2014, 06:58 AM

Much much better. Actually I'd buy that figure in a hearth beat.

But, is Donnie as salvageable, or Leo with his "oh crap" face?
