I'd prefer Shredder & a Foot Soldier. Putting an army builder in will encourage repeat sales (I'd be down for at least 6 if they're done well enough) and can only help the line...

Screw that... the turtles are already 'army builders' they are 4 of the same thing! with very little variation!

I want my splinter and shredder face-off

[rickwj324]

If I could only pick two more characters I would vote for Shredder and Casey. They really should make a wave consisting of Shredder, Splinter, April, and Casey. then maybe a Foot Soldier and Krang.

I hope we get some news about the future of the Classics Collection from Playmates at SDCC.

I know the rumours from NYTF (or some other convention) were of two "baddies" being added to the Classics Collection, but I really want some concrete news. With the movie line now developed and released, hopefully Playmates will have more resources to devote to expanding the Classics Collection line of action figures.

As others have said, I would happily buy Shredder, Splinter, April O'Neil, Casey Jones, Slash, Krang, Tooka, Rahzar and multiple Foot Soldiers. If they fixed some of the articulation on Bebop and Rocksteady, notably the ankles, then I'd probably buy them in "toy" colours as well.

I would buy a movie shredder and a toon shredder.

In so much as "rumours" can be true, then yes it is.

But, given the nature of rumours and Playmates' evident lack of interest in the Classics Collection line, who knows what the future holds.

To back up Spidergreg's post about them being released in July here's this from Toynewsi. I gotta make sure I put some money aside for these.
http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=20&itemid=22775

Hopefully the Classic Collection line will go like this
Wave 4 Shredder and Krang (Cartoon)
Wave 5 Splinter and Rat King
Wave 6 Shredder and Splinter (Movie)
Wave 7 Casey Jones and April O'Neil (Cartoon)
Wave 8: Tokka and Rahzar
Wave 9 Foot Soliders (Movie and Cartoon)
Wave 10 April and Casey (movie)
Wave 11 Baxter stockman and Leatherhead
Wave 12 General Tragg and Lt. Granitor.
I still hope somewhere down the line the 2k3 turtles get made too and one of the comic versions. That's just my opinion of course.

Yeah, waayyy too many figures to do still for them to be dying this early.
Wave 4 MUST BE Shredder... who else is "badass"? Unless they do Shredder + Slash ROFL.



Just noticed they decided not to give the turtles a yellow shading based on this prototype pic.

Awesome news!

[HeroTurtlesFan]

I feel the next 4 figures should be Shredder, Splinter, April and the Foot Soldier to round off wave 1 of the original line. To be honest, they could just go this far and finish and I'd be content enough (my nostalgia for Turtles toys is really all about the first ten!)

[Hanzo the Razor]

I will buy this line, as they're the best movie Turtles thus far, but I'm a little disappointed with the lack of texture in the paint applications.

Yeah, there's NO way we'll ever get Traag, Granitor, Baxter or half the characters on that list.

not just here but in other fandoms too

I am sure if sales were astronomical they would continue the line until sales started to falter. That isn't always the case. Especially for things like S.H. Figuarts, Revoltech's, and the like. However, with Playmates, it seems greed is the way at the moment. The supposed rumors of them discontinuing the line if the movie turtles didn't sell to their standards were obviously false. Two more to be announced at SDCC. They would be fools not to milk this till the last drop. With their current mindset of money over design/paint apps or lack thereof, Playmates has shown their current mantra quite a bit lately. All it would take is for them to come on a well respected and known site like this for 5 minutes and they could stranglehold the collector market if all they did was listen. We have the money. Give us something worth spending it on.

Would be nice thought right?
we can live in hope.......

[Ninturtle]

wave 4 is Splinter and Shredder I remember watching the sdcc playmates panel when someone asked when we would get Splinter and Shredder figures and they said If the line does well in 12 months . Its been almost 12 months but they pretty much confirmed who would be in wave 4

[DonatelloFan1984]

Hoenstly they could surprise or not so much of a surprise us all with Tokka and Rahzar. I mean they did go bebop and rocksteady after the toon turtles.

[turtlefanforever]

if they keep doing turtles or moving onto other series I would love The Next Mutation turtles. Those would be great. A Dragon Lord figure would be awesome as well as Silver.
