I wanted to see that in the figures, but instead, we get nothing. It's just left unpainted. The worst part, it's not like Bebop where he has lines on his suit not painted, but it isn't that noticeable. As for the turtles, we immediately see those bandages not in white, not in grey, but in the color of their skin. That's a crime.



But if you ask me, I'm more excited in buying an Ellen Ripley from Alien than I am for Serpent Karai.

I agree, it is disappointing, considering how cool they looked in the episode. I still think the toys look great though, and have great play value.

I can't wait to find the Neca Ripley figures, they look awesome!

They have Karai and Mikey Turflytle too.

with the quality of the paint on those figures i doubt anyone is in a hurry to pay that much for these.

didn't they try to do the same with tigerclaw last year?

i'll wait til they show up at the stores.

[DVD]

I'm doing something wrong !!!
That Karai sold for 10x what I paid.

Please, do NOT pay that kind of cash. You are just being ripped off. I hasten to mention, not by me.

Once I get my packaged figures, it is a sure sign that they are ready for transport to the US market. Therefore they can be at most 8 weeks from the shops.

Change of heart. If anyone wants Karai, or any other figure (Mikey Turflytle for example) I'll sell you one for $30.00

Seriously though, I couldn't do that, and the local sellers here are NOT doing that.

[Candy Kappa]

wow, that Karai got sold for around 300NOK, retail price for TMNT figures in Norway is at cheapest 99.90NOK, and even then some of the figures ain't worth that prince.

Someone really wanted that Karai fast as possible

[DVD]

I got my painted StockmanFly today.
First up, a subtle side by side:

Then the figure ;

And a close up:

So basically the detailing really is all there. I'm totally loving this painted version.

[Candy Kappa]

Forgot to paint his mustache though.

[DVD]

I didnt notice the tash.

[Freeman]

And it happens again.

Both me and my girlfriend were super exited for how well Turflytle Mikey turned into the action figure after watching the first promo pics, but the you see the final product and only want to cry...

These could be the first figure I'd purchase just to open, get it repainted and put back into the blister the best possible way, but at the same time doing so would only make me more angry with Playmates...

[DVD]

I had to do this one.

[joefsas]

I know which one i prefer.
I think playmates efforts recently have been piss poor!

The paint looks great on the opened Baxter your art student did fantastic, the only thing missing is the moustache being painted.

It's sad that a figure that's almost 30 years old knocks the spots of a new one in terms of paint, sculpt and accessories. Just goes to show how far Playmates have fallen...

[zaktheneutrino]

Looks great! It's crazy what a little effort and paint can do to a figure...hint hint Playmates.

I agree for the most part. I'm also disappointed that Playmates Toys doesn't make the packaging fun anymore. I bought the original cartoon Triceraton action figure recently, and I'm impressed with the art work on the packaging, and Playmates Toys making jokes about the accessories and the description of the character card. The old toy line was just more fun, and Playmates Toys seemed to have fun with it.

Also missing being painted, is the collar of the shirt. The collar around his neck should be white.

I posted my disappointment on the Playmates Toys Facebook page.

Look for "Posts to page"

Go ahead and add to my post, or post your own frustration. It's there for the world to see. Maybe they'll take notice and at least fix the lack of detail on the Mystic Turtles for future production.

[METALHEAD]

huh. so his hair is painted? didnt think it would be. thought it would be unpainted once they release it. if that is the case, then i'm okay with this. all i need is to paint his tash, his neck collar white, some brown paint here and there, paint in the house, mouth, teeth. i can work with that. this kinda makes me a little more...relived i dunno about you all but i'm okay with this
