Me either.

Sooo you don't understand how these figures cost $20 a pop and yet you are willing to sacrifice $130+s/h for a set on ebay? You do realize that comes out individually to $32.50 per figure, right?

I got home tonight to my replacement shipment. The box looked mauled but to my surprise the figures looks good inside. A corner from Donny had some s stress as well as Leo's hanger but overall a severe improvement. Now what to do with the original set... Hmmmm

I think you misread my post. I *got* a set at SDCC. And I'll probably put them on eBay.

Movie Shredder should have been in the Classic Collection Wave 3 line.

It's almost like Playmates is trying to make a profit out of them!

Cheers,

Nah, can you imagine how badly Playmates would've f*cked him up?

As for why these are $20 rather than the $15 the first 2 waves were - it's Toys R Us. They always mark stuff way up, moreso when it's an exclusive. If these are fast sellers, it wouldn't surprise me to see them bump the price up to $25.

tmntgoldcoin · 08-04-2014, 05:31 PM

was at Toys R Us yesterday and saw a set of the classics movie figures. They looked pretty nice, but didn't feel like shelling out all that cash.

cryan · 08-04-2014, 08:28 PM

Well, the 1990 classics are doing well. Last Thursday they had the whole case unless Rocksteady and Bebop where in there. When back this morning and they only had one Leo left. So, they are selling.

jetfire prime · 08-04-2014, 08:55 PM

I got my 90s classics the other day. Ive been waiting so long for toys of this incarnation to come out, So I was super stoked to finally have them. Well, that kinda changed after I opened them. They just went straight into my display case with some other stuff. Im pretty disappointed in them. For 20 Dollars, they shouldnt have the QC problems they have. Things are either too tight or too loose on mine. The headsculpts arent very good either. I just spent the same amount on some WWE Elite figures this week and have been messing with them a lot more. THATS how you should do a 20 dollar figure. All the joints are solid, they come with good accessories, and (most of the time) the headsculpts are pretty spot on. Im excited for Shredder but also very hesitant.

Why wouldn't they do well. I recall my cousin telling me about his experience in the Theater on April 4 1990 (hehe). The whole audience applauded when the title appeared on the screen and their shadows were shown in the background. The 1990 film was the highest grossing movie for an independent comic. Loads of people were waiting to get their hands on any basic Leonardo they could find to substitute for the movie version.

Huh! Interesting! While it doesn't help with accuracy it does lend a bit more appeal. Leo looks much better with literally any other mouth.

Wow! This is pretty cool. It's awesome to know that you can customize the turtles' faces to your liking this way!

*mikey0* · 08-04-2014, 10:46 PM

For some reason that Leo reminds me of the Next Mutation Leonardo. It could be the color of the band.

Panther10 · 08-04-2014, 11:12 PM

With the mask swaps on leo and ralph the turtles now match their TMNT III incarnations.

*Powder* · 08-05-2014, 12:17 AM

Who's Ralph?

Panther10 · 08-05-2014, 12:21 AM

Whoops. I meant Raph sorry.....I guess this means I don't get to keep my gold star, right?
