Is that in this thread? I don't want to spend a lot of time searching for it if it isn't.

It's sad, I cannot unhear Raphael saying "it's over 9000!" when I see that toy.

I'm ok with the bodies per say. I'd rather they put elbow articulation in there. There's everything else, to a point. Thus being their fourth set of 11" figures, it would have been a nice touch.
I'm interested to see how they sound! I'll have to wait till they arrive next week.

In every single incarnation of the 'mutating' figures Playmates totally fails to make any improvements to how they look. These look just as bad as the original ones, which looked horrible and very unnatural.

You'd think they'd retool them to look more like turtles and not have their back legs coming all the way to the front and these weird floppy things in the back. It looks STUPID.

I just have to shake my head...

Hasbro has done how many countless variations on the ways each transformer transforms and Playmates can't even manage two unique transformations after all these years.

Their shameless recycling (both with these and with many vehicles, the pizza shooter being the most notorious) is the worst in the business.

Adding Karai, a character who actually has that power in the show, would make sense. But this is Playmates we're talking about, they hate Karai.

Some pics of the 2014/15 stuff that's coming down the pike.

Ok I'll admit, Karai does look fantastic, even if I don't like her snake form...



Hopefully the final release looks that good!

[Shark_Blade]

I need Karai in normal human form. Is it so hard to ask?

[IndigoErth]

Ice Cream Kitty?? Yes please!

Karai... ok, snake figure looks kinda cool. Though personally the human head stuck on it's body looks a bit...odd. If I got it, think the snake head is staying on. lol

[miru]

Odd that Karai can only change partway through...

Looks more like they gets worse and worse for each version. Yet it's the same design and same transformation...

Toy News International has exclusive pics of more brand new stuff, including a figure of one of the Dream Beavers, Savage Mikey (Who appears in the upcoming Dimension X ep) and of course, the slick new Party Wagon!

[GreasyBoi]

Finally picked up a movie April. I don't know why she's soo hard to find in my area. I think I'm gonna keep her in the packaging until I find another one.

I like the 90s ones the most for some reason, maybe because I can't say no to the adorable pet turtle face.

[METALHEAD]

Surprisingly found them at my walmart. had to leave rahzar behind.

[Ninjinister]

Everywhere around me stocks the movie line now but nothing new in the show's figures.

i agree, though when the first Mutations came out i thought it was cool. but i was a kid and it was the technology of the time. but seeing it over and over i would assume they would improve on the design but they seem to keep shoving the same slice of pizza down our throat.

they need to overhaul this design and actually make it look like what they are "mutating" into before they get my $$ for this toy

[Donatello19]

The new Party Wagon looks really cool, actually. But why is it that every Mikey variant figure is just the basic Battle Shell figure with extra stuff tacked on? First Turflytle and now this one. I hope the final releases aren't like that.

[DVD]

I'm in for the new party wagon. It's not too dissimilar from the original.
The beaver and Mikey did nothing for me. Mikey in particular, looks a little like regular version that a five year old modified with plasticine and rings.
