Sadly true. The best thing that could happen would be for a second company to get the TMNT license for adult collectibles. Neca or Diamond Select would be ideal.

Absolutely. I love Playmates originality and the total batsh!t crazy turn they took with the original line. It led to some damn interesting products.

I like the look of the look of him. It seems to kind of make a better toy than the original foot soldier.

well it's definitely a great companion to the original foot soldier but I don't feel like they as good of army builders because they all have a very specific weapon layout

Looks like Playmates are back from the brink!

How so? The hand attachments are all swap-able, if you bought 4 you could give them all maces or saw blades.

Anyone know were to get the comic book figures online at a decent price?

No, you're right, i should have actually WATCHED the review and not basing my thoughts on some older screenshots which did not show the whole story. I honestly did not know those were attachments that can be removed to show normal hands... that makes them way way better in fact one of the best figures in terms of accessories in the line.

The interchangeable stuff on the new foot definitely makes it a nice army builder.

having the same body damage is a little bit of a downside though.

I think I will definitely get 2 or 3 of them now instead of just 1. Gradually... doubt I'd snatch 3 at once. We seem to have regular TMNT sales going on which is the right time to army build.

I wish the saw blades actually rotated, then you could put 4 on the same Foot Bot and make him roll like a car...

Maybe, but if they were super articulated and sculpted by the Four Horsemen, I'd be more than happy to deal with it.

Having the same battle damage is a bit of a downer, although probably a easy minifix by painting over it, or covering it with apoxy clay.

I did some modding to the wrists on mine. Much better if I might say.aaand I have no idea why my pics come out upside down. But I'm pretty sure you get the idea.

I've got about 5 ongoing projects, so I'm not sure when I'll get to it. I do want to though. This mod only took me like 10 mins. I just had to do the wrist mod because these figures suck pretty bad, and I just had to do SOMETHING about it for now. I can't stand looking at how playmates just just skimped out on such an easy fix. But yeah, the paint needs major work.

How'd you do it?
