Pretty sure turflytle and that new mikey are just rough prototypes or something. The proto battleshells were just hollowed out basics originally.

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.
Agreed, the Party Wagon would work perfectly with the new and old toyline

Time to pack it in, DVD...

Don't worry you have all of 2015 to redeem yourself, there are a lot of good figures coming up, and a few strange ones (like Karai)

I am so happy to see playmates doing things like alternate heads... but it looks SO very strange on her.

Not sure if you guys have seen this (not my work...I don't have the skills for this) but a repaint of the nick April with a simple head swap of the real Karai could work really well. The pic has April's head repainted but now that Karai has an actual head it doesn't seem like that much of a stretch for playmates if they we're to do a human version.

Haha... Yeah, I'm giving it up. And yup, lots of neat stuff for 2015 so I'll have to think twice!!
I actually like the mutated Karai. Really liking a lot of these, and if I don't loose it any further, I'll chase em all down.

As much as I like snakes I prefer Karai as a human, she's a good design, her mutated form looks too MOTU.

Spoiler:
So the futuristic thief guy is going to mutate into Bebop and the russian arms dealer is going to mutate into Rocksteady hu? Kinda saw that coming...

That T-van is mine. I wonder if they will give it the same door gimmick as the original. I actually hope they give the inside a computer station instead of just seating like the original. Oh and for once they need to give the vehicle a steering wheel; it bugged me when I was a kid.

This beast looks like it could kick the shell out of the original.

I'm giggling how that custom Karai looks like April from a Negaverse.

Quick revue on the interactive 11" Turtles.
First off, these are fun.

Once turned on, they interact very well. I've laughed out loud at some of the dialogue that comes out of them. They work very well in any combo of two, three or four.
I've hit the buttons several times and I'm still getting new stuff.
Back to the numbers. You can't just buy one of these guys, you need at least two. The programming is good, allowing the random selection of any Turtle to be clicked, and the others ( two , three or four) to interact accordingly. When all four are activated, the stuff that's said really works well. Yeah, I'm liking these guys. How long till I get bored? Probably not long, but I'm enjoying the moment!
Just found out that they auto shut down if you don't keep pushing the buttons. So if Mikey shuts down, only the other three talk to each other, so you have to keep selecting a different Turtle to start the conversation.
I love the Hi Three, and how that works.
These are pretty cool.

Now, articulation. Much the same as the other 11" figures. In that there is no elbow joint ( no reason why not) but we get the wrist swivel.
Material. Like 11" Shredder and the 11" Movie Turtles, these have used the lighter more acrylic based plastic as opposed to the heavier "bubble bath" plastic of the first two waves of 11" Turtles. It makes them lighter, but you get the feeling if they fell down, they'd smash!

Right, I'm off to find somewhere to display these, after I've pushed the buttons a few more times. Haha!

Pics coming later today.

Wow those new figures look cool DVD! So what doup I guys think about Bebop and Rocksteady's new figures? I think Rocksteady looks great, but I'm not too impressed with Bebop. I think he is just not as good as I was hoping. But who knows, maybe he'll turn out better than I expected.

Right now Kohl's is having a buy one get one half off of all toys. To my surprise, I found Rahzar, Newtralizer, Dojo Splinter and Slash along with all of the movie figures between two stores. I bought the four Nick figs along with five movie figures. Right now is the best time to get them with the deal cause they are $10.99 a pop. However, it is still cheaper than Wal Mart if you buy several figures. Just thought I'd share in case anyone is having trouble finding the new figs Here's a pic of my one stop!
