Just wait till I get ahold of them. I'll trick them out and make them look a lot better. Just need to fix the shading and features with some paint. We'll see how they look with some care and time

Really great video bud. Funny Shredder impression, and thanks for the comparison to the 80s. I agree another wave of the turtles is likely. It would be cool like you said to have a comic set, but I am open to any incarnation. Even NM.

Finally got my tracking info and it (I only got Don) isn't showing up 'til Friday. Blah. Ah well, more important things on my mind 'til it shows up.

Review from the fwoosh. Judging by their screens shots, there are still some figures that don't have the shoulder or bicep problems.

grevls · 07-31-2014, 08:05 AM

I have to say i'm not keen on the look or expressions of these but will no doubt have to get them anyway. Any idea if they'll ever come to the UK? via TRU or anyone else?

Also did you mention my experience?

did you get your replacement figures yet? if so how do they look? they did the same thing with my replacements by giving me the 2 day shipping replacements. my new figures arrived in worse condition then the ones im sending back. Leos bubble was completely crushed and one of his swords were dis-located and rattling around in the package. IM DONE WITH TRU ONLINE. i told them why i was upset and they actually made it worse before better. i think im gonna ask for a full refund and buy them in store when they come

if anyone buys these figures online and wants to keep them moc DONT. they dont care about safely packing these figures (in fact probably will assume your gonna bust them open) if you want moc buy in store

Wow I am sorry to hear that buddy. Hopefully you can find them in store. You would think they would want to make it right with you and would have had special instructions to make sure it didn't happen again.

I haven't. They aren't scheduled to be here until tomorrow. Unfortunately I'm out of town tonight through Sunday so I won't know until then if they're in good shape or not. This is really upsetting to hear. I'll keep you guys updated.

Let us know what they say on your phone call to customer service.

You mean "photographs"?

will do, plan on calling once i calm down. probably not a good idea to talk to them while angry

ls1z28 · 07-31-2014, 03:49 PM

Just wanna give my .02 about tru online.. I've never had a problem with them until today... I get this huge box wich could probably hold 3-4 sets of the turtles ...I open it, what do I find?? A bunch of plastic bubbles (which is a good thing. If my figures were wrapped around with them).. I have to dig all the way to the bottom where I find my set. No padding under my figures. Of course they are all bent..I'm not going to bother and return then to tru online .. I'll just wait to find them at the store and return these

goodfellaray · 07-31-2014, 04:01 PM

Just received mine about two minutes ago from UPS. They look to be in somewhat decent condition as far as the cards, minus the corners. Haven't opened the figures yet, but Leo's arm looks torqued as hell. Hope it's not too ****ed up.

Taichi · 07-31-2014, 04:31 PM

Just remember what I said about Leo. The one I got had the shoulder joint rotated the wrong way to get his arm in that position.

IF you can't push his arm all the way down to his side, then look at the joint, rotate it 180 and then his arm should lay down all the way.

I don't get it, why can't a figure be packaged in the old style? Figure with arms down, nothing torqued. Weapons in a tray to keep from getting bent, etc. Why must all these figures have a "stance"? It's every damn line out there. PR, TF, Turtles, etc... all this does is damage the figure and you get a sword with ripples. If I'm going to pay $20 per figure the decent thing to do is make damn sure nothing is damaged.

Unfortunately Playmates doesn't play with common sense. So in a way, I answered my own question. Nevermind.

Yeah, that's what I did. I had to use a lot of force on the shoulder joint to get it to move. The biceps are ridiculously loose. Leo and Raph are the only figures I've opened so far, and all of Raph's joints are looser than Leo's, from the thighs, toes, wrists, biceps, you name it. My Raph's joints don't feel nearly as snug as Leo's do. Oh well. I'll have to open the rest tomorrow to check 'em out, I gotta get ready for work.

First impressions though, my bootleg NECA's (as far as articulation goes) feel and move better than these do. Gotta run!

*go_ninja84* · 07-31-2014, 06:01 PM

well after a phone call they gave me a refund for the Leonardo figure and im gonna buy him in the store. Leonardo was the worst bubble as it was crushed and since his sword was broken loose i decided to open him. it seemed my figure was suffering from the same as everyone else with the tight joints. i ran him under warm water and it seemed to help loosen the up to a point i can move them and not feel like im gonna rip his arm off. any way here are some pics i took of him

daviscfad · 07-31-2014, 07:02 PM

Got my movie turtles. Packaging not great but not terrible either. Actually really like these turtles. To me they look better than the toons. If your a fan i dont think you will be disappointed

Cowabungawolf89 · 07-31-2014, 07:08 PM

I did the warm water trick too and it seems to be working. I'm gonna do that a few more times so the joints will be nice and soft and i can get some poses out of them.

*go_ninja84* · 07-31-2014, 07:28 PM

another trick i found is this, if you do not have a steady hand i would not recommend this but if you get an exacto blade and get the arm down carefully insert the tip of the blade between the joint on both sides on both arms you can very little spread it to loosen the joint up. i did it to mine and now the arm can move perfect and no sign of the blade was used

like i said do this if you have a steady hand. i do think this is real ridiculous though on Playmates end. spend 20.00 on a figure and we have to deal with crap like this

SHAME ON YOU PLAYMATES

Cowabungawolf89 · 07-31-2014, 07:30 PM

sadly no blades on my end

beardcore84 · 07-31-2014, 09:20 PM

Got Donnie & Raph from Toys R Us in the store today. Will go back for Mikey & Leo next pay check.
