It's my dream to get a TMNT line that's as in depth, and made with as much care and attention, as MOTU Classics. Sure, it's not perfect (it's Mattel, after all), but it's a hell of a lot better than anything Playmates have ever put out.
It was a train wreck becuase Mattel and Matty got so much money and subs from people and often cheapened out on some of the figures, like reusing the same bodies. They did put a lot of work into it and that greyskull is a kick ass playset.

Reusing bodies is part of the line's core idea, that was how the vintage line was thought. I don't see where they cheapened, we got most stuff in Weapons Packs along the line.

Which was more money you had to spend. Although I'd kill for the TMNT clasiscs to be like that, I do NOT like the idea of subscriptions.

it had it's pros and cons... without a sub we wouldn't have 2015 despite Scott leaving. I see your point anyway.

If this is real that looks awesome - I may need to retire my shellraiser!
Finally a Nick turtles vehicle for figures rather then a box with a wheel at each corner

It's cool that that they used the 2014 movie van for parts to go with the new party wagon for the nick show.

Really hope it comes with maybe new versions of the old school stickers.

They look like trash, so I suppose they're halfway there.

Was wondering the other day what had become of those that were once mentioned.

Some of those examples...



If anyone gets this I hope they post pics of what they come up with.
