Thank you for this. What I can't understand is why you can't find them when you type out the description under the search field?

I feel like a proud poppa. And I'm so glad this didn't turn out like the last time the movie star figures were originally released. I didn't even know those existed until I saw them in one of the playmates toy guide (IIRC the guide came packaged with the third movie when it was released on cassette.) All I remember is I never saw those figures in stores and didn't even get my hands on them till 2005. I think its safe for me to say that the movie turtle curse has finally been lifted.

Truth. The bodies are passable, but those heads are a f*cking travesty, and whoever sculpted them needs to be whipped until they plead for mercy. They're awful even by Playmates' low standards.

Toys R Us's website is garbage, it has been for years, it is ridiculous that they haven't seen fit to update it. Do they have Bebop and Rocksteady available? I'm still missing those but you can't find them in a search of their website. If you type in Raphael, the Movie Classics figure doesn't even show up in the results that the search yields.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch dude, there is still plenty of time for your order to get botched during delivery. I wish you the best, but who knows with the postal system!

i kinda think their heads remind me of how they looked on the Movie Star rubber figures Don/Raph have the snare grin, Mikes smile, Leos big grin but hey its not the first time we ? playmates sculptors still i wonder what they were going for with 88 Leo. i still love the figure but just wonder why that expression

Metropoliskid41 · 07-24-2014, 10:50 AM

For the movie figure I wish they would have gone with a closed mouth design for Leo and used the screen cap on the back of the packaging as their reference or inspiration. Saying he looks goofy is an understatement.

*VaughnMichael* · 07-24-2014, 01:43 PM

I'm really on the fence about this set of figures.
The bodies are really nice but the heads are so meh that I don't even want to look at them.
Then there is the lack of detail on the bodies which makes them sort of look like the movie 3 TMNT.
I mean yeah we could all customize them until the cows come home but why should we have to?
Playmates really needs to get with it concerning this so called adult collectors line if they want to roll with the big boys.
I mean look at all the amazing things coming out here at comi-con.
I'm mostly not sure if I want these though because someone else may come along and do them better and that really wouldn't take much.

DonatelloFan1984 · 07-24-2014, 01:43 PM

Looking on ebay at the movie classics people are trying to sell from the con. Looks like Donny is suffering from "derpy" eyes again. Hope it isn't all of them.

goodfellaray · 07-24-2014, 01:50 PM

Ordered all four. I am disappointed by the head sculpts, but this is probably (hope not) the closest we'll get to 90's turtles with full articulation. Soooo...

cryan · 07-24-2014, 03:29 PM

I will say that back in 1988-1990 Jim Henson's studio did a great job bringing the guys to life. I do agree that the sculpts do bug me on the figures. Though not as bad as the Bay turtle.

Doomsword · 07-24-2014, 04:19 PM

I'm passing on these. I kind of want them, but would rather spend the funds toward the Revoltech Turtles or a case of Funko Mystery Mini's. Plus I still need to complete my Kidrobot blind box set.

Don't bother, man. It's time we stop drinking their Kool-aid. With Revoltech & all these other companies getting to flex their skills on the brand, there's no point in supporting these guys anymore.

*Ninjinister* · 07-24-2014, 04:44 PM

I do say, the packaged versions do look a great deal better than the standalone promo shots.

Time will tell what the actual product looks like, though.

Miles · 07-24-2014, 08:09 PM

I've always loved the 1990 movie turtles - almost above all others, but I can't bring myself to order these. They really are a large disappointment. If I need a 1990 movie turtle fix, I'll just watch the movie - I don't need more "it's almost perfect..." stuff littering my shelves.

Quality over quantity.

Newton Gimmick · 07-24-2014, 08:11 PM

Heads look stellar in the packaged shots. Looks like less paint detail, though. I'm on the fence about that anyway, as I find all the spots and washes distracting.
