TMNT Classics Collection Wave 3

[Cowabungawolf89]

I think they're coming out next year.

[DonatelloFan1984]

I would much rather see this line stick with the 80's and 90's stuff right now. It is much to early to even consider 2k3 to be classic. Playmates needs to grow a pair and let the collectors guide this line. I can tell you kids aren't buying them. Give us what we want. We will buy it. If it is of quality. Stop skimping on paint apps and articulation. Make them true to the Fred wolf cartoon. Take a hint from the motu classics. Give us villains. Lots of them. Playmates needs someone who actually cares about this franchise to make it what t should be. Villains would sell even if they didn't put out another four turtles for two years.

Yes, that's why I said around Christmas time!

[Cowabungawolf89]

I don't think it's too early to bring in 2k3, probably around 2017-2018 they'll be made. Either way we'll see how it goes. In the end if enough people want them they'll more than likely make them.

I agree. If enough people want it. By all means do it. Just because I think they should wait doesn't mean I wouldn't buy them. I would just prefer to get more of the Fred Wolf stuff out first and then go into 2k3. This is however playmates we are talking about and they seem to always take the safe road.

To be correct, calling these Classics, they should come from the shows original run. The OC and original movies should be all that are looked at. Of course, I could be wrong. Suggesting Nick Turtles... No.
The Mirage Turtles in the 6" format (possibly in BW) with the 30+ points of articulation; if I was was a gambler, I'd put some cash down on those!

I think we are on the same page DVD. I would without a doubt go for some b&w turtles. I just want series favorites like baxter, general traag, granitor, possibly some neutrinos, splinter, April, Casey, tokka, Rahzar, a reimagined sewer lair and technodrome. And that is just a very quick short list. Like I said if motu can do it so can turtles. The market is there. Especially right now. Turtles have not even been close to this popular in well over a decade. Use the momentum playmates.

[DVD]

Agreed on the market. The MOTU set increases almost daily based upon the offers I get for the figures! They all look great, and I have to admit I was tempted at one point, but when I realized how many were out....!
Back to TMNT (we do like initials) and these Classics are so obviously tailored in the same fashion, and appear targeted at a similar audience. The rate of release is slower though, unfortunately. I picked up the first set of four when I was in Vancouver, and that was two years ago. The third wave hits streets now in the US (I'm glad I get these a few months in advance ). That makes 10 figures in 25-26 months.
Looking forward to whatever they release, but a Baxter Fly could be done very well.

Yeah agreed, the next turtles I want to see after the comics are The Next Mutation ones. These turtles figures are all too like. I really liked the show and the look of those turtles. Wouldn't mind some of the villains from that show either. Heck with planet of the apes on the rise, a new king kong movie, Silver might even be able to sell well. Capitalize on the ape trend.

Also sweet about Christmas time for Shredder and Krang. That way I don't have to buy em both! mwuahaha That's how I got my classic Bebop.

[Matt2310]

im really hoping that this shredder and Krang arent as bulky as bebop and rocksteady i really liked them 2 but waaay too bulky on the upper half

I just received mine about 20 minutes after I posted that. I checked the tracking and it has been on its way since the 25th. Toys r us must have just been lagging on sending out the notices. I am sure they where overwhelmed by orders. Not just tmnt but everything.

My turtles are actually on the delivery truck. I should get them at some point this afternoon.

Awesome buddy! You will have to let us know how they are in person. Paint app wise that is. Hopefully we don't have an eye fiasco like the last set that came to market.

just got my CC movie figures off truck today

Personally id love to see them tackle venus

[DVD]

Didn't they come in the Party Wagon?
I hope you enjoy them. I think they are great.

[The Boston Ninja Turtle]

So how about them toys....



i have to agree i wish playmate would step up their game and actually treat this like a collectors line, a little more paint and the 20 price point would be worth it

i mean if bandai and Neca can do it why not playmates..the have the regular line as a backup( really the front runner)

[Cowabungawolf89]

I'm still waiting on my 90s movie turtles to arrive. I should have them this week. I might make an unbox video for them

[Jester]

Cleaned house....man what a chore. Matt2310 certain slang terms are inappropriate. Don't use them.

Everyone else, no need to "pile on". Report the posts and we'll clean them up.

Now lets move on.
