Those things kick ass and I'd looooooove to see them return. I'd be slightly worried on the paint jobs on tiny figures like that, considering Playmates misses the mark on their basic figures at times.

I'm with Snake 100% on that. They were favorites of mine as a kid & they're super duper aesome. So long as the paint was on point I'd def support a line like that.

I love any micro toys like that. I have a ton of Mighty Max and Star Wars micromachines. Shame they never made a comeback after the 90s.

*Powder* · 12-08-2014, 03:32 PM

With all that special snowflake stuff, everything being hyper PC, kids getting coddled, they've probably been cast aside wholesale for choking hazard reasons. Everybody's so worried about accidents happening nowadays. Just a guess.

*Candy Kappa* · 12-08-2014, 03:35 PM

Yeah, hence why the revival Minimutants that had the 2007 movie esthetics was around 2 inches tall, and we got the Half-Shell line.

Although the Half-Shell stuff is super cute, I would love to see new mini figures again like the vintage ones. The capsule figures are probably the closest we'll get.

We only got one shipment in late July ...

And I live in the Chicago burbs, so I'm not in the middle of no where.

i'm just not confident that playmates could make a good revival of the mini-mutants stuff. biggest issue for me obviously being PAINT APPS. it's just going to be a nightmare. vintage playmates was way better at paint apps than modern playmates... I really don't understand why they let the quality decline so dramatically. not just the number of paint apps but the quality of them as well (lots of misaligned paint, chipping paint, etc.)

anyone wanting "mini" turtles stuff should just get into LEGO.

I would, if only for the figures themselves, but that's waaaaaaayyy too pricey to get into as far as I'm concerned. For the price of a set of Lego's I could commission the guys who made the TMNT famous to draw me whatever I want, or get a ton of loose figures or something. I can't justify it.

Mini mutant would be awesome if they came back

METALHEAD · 12-09-2014, 08:34 PM

mother brought me this guy today. since i really cant be out with my fractured foot. so yay! all i need is rocksteady

Reputator · 12-09-2014, 08:55 PM

Your mom rules. Some of my fondest memories are when I was a small child and my mom would surprise me with a turtle figure.

*Powder* · 12-09-2014, 09:04 PM

My mom surprised me with the mousers when they came out last year, that was nice.

*Ninjinister* · 12-09-2014, 10:04 PM

My mom never buys me toys anymore, even for Christmas or birthday, because I've already bought everything she could possibly think of getting me.

Instead she buys me weapons ^^

My Mom beats me with a large broom till I get my homework right.

I was at TRU tonight and saw the movie turtles have been repackaged. When did this happen? I also scored both versions of bebop and rocksteady today at walmart......yay!!

*DVD* · 12-10-2014, 03:12 AM

My students find it funny that my parents still send me toys through the post. It was my dad that got the retro Krang and Foot Soldier for me.

I used them with my Technodrome and Krang's android body....because they were almost the right scale.

**DarthRaphael** · 12-10-2014, 12:46 PM

I was as excited as a little kid when I found Bebop, Rocksteady, and Tiger claw in stores the other day. I didn't start out wanting to collect the toys but the characters have been great so I need to have them now.

*IndigoErth* · 12-10-2014, 01:47 PM

In terms of parents still buying us stuff, I'm looking forward to seeing how Christmas turns out...

Not assuming there will be too much in the way of toy items (maybe a few), though my mom has a tendency to go a little overboard if she knows someone is into something (which she only found out this summer that I'm a fan again) so I wouldn't be surprised if half of what she got me was Turtles related. It may be a very green Christmas.

She did pay for two of the LARP figures as an early gift since she was with me when I finally found those.
