They have Karai and Mikey Turflytle too.

Karai doesn't look too bad, so I'll get her when she shows up.

Thanks for the feedback on Stockman. I will have the collar and 'tash sorted out today.
Also, I'm going to give Mystic Leo a bash myself. He may end up looking better as a before !

As for the Karai figure. I don't see a problem with it. It looks as she does in the show. Except, I'd have gone for green eyes.

I really wonder if Playmates' budget is so bad they cant afford paint
Or they are just lazy as heck.

[The Boston Ninja Turtle]

I would say its a mix of both...they are cutting corners because production costs are expensive but they are cutting huge corners because they would rather bare bones than give any real effort

[Rikki Tikki Tavi]

I personaly think its because they can cut corners and their product will still sell world wide. There are collectors, fans, children and the impulse buyers that have no vested interst in TMNT but see so etching they like so they buy it. So from a business standpoint I don't see Playmates bating an eye either way if a few people dislike their product. For every one "upset customer" they have thousands of other customers who continue to purchase their product. Some will complain but maybe just on here or to someone who will listen and never contact Playmates directly. Others will just deal with it, and some but not enough will stop buying completly.

So is this a true Muckman Figure?

True in the sense that it is real, yes, but not true in that the toy will look the same. Surely it'll have no paint. I imagine the sewer lid foot will be green, even.

I bet most of his orange suit wont be painted.

Little from column A and more from column B

Probably. I can't see the bones being painted either.

[Huzzah]

He'll also be ridiculously underscaled.

You know what? Great question. Like really....what is it? For real. What really is the big deal behind not being able to paint these things properly? A few figures here and there...ok...maybe you goofed that time but ALL the figures are missing paint in some form or another compared to prototypes. ...and for that matter why even show the prototypes...it's a letdown....EVERY...TIME. The actual figures end up looking like prototypes. Is it really that this company cant "afford" the paint? Is that not the sorriest excuse you've ever heard? What type of bullsh*t is that? It makes absolutely no sense to me.

Maybe, maybe they umm, maybe in their rush to get the figures released to coincide with the episode, they just didn't have time, and will improve future releases, says a person in denial.

Okay, I don't buy that at all...

I was waiting for this for a while to see what he said about the clear lack of quality and he did not give them a pass on it. No wrist articulation on 3/4 turtles is really bad and the very limited amount of paint was poorly done. Very disappointing stuff. Apparently Raphs weapons are very soft too which is odd. Really hope they turn things around on quality control but I have my doubts.

I heard before the new TMNT line in 2012 Playmates was on hard times and had layoffs and so on but surely this relaunch must have helped them regain their stability. I was glad to hear playmates still had the licence as there is history there and they were a huge part of my childhood and now are a big part of my sons childhoods so I want them to succeed but the quality needs to be there.

[atreyu2112]

Agreed. Out of all the figures they've done, the Mustic Spirit Turtles are some of the best in idea, but the final product is really a disappointment. I hope the detailing gets corrected. We have seen different paint apps on figures from this line, so we know it's possible.

I'm glad, especially after reading the visual history book, that Playmates have the figures still. For all the lack of paint they are still great - of all the figures I have i don't regret any of them.
Kids love 'em, i love 'em and for all the protests against i'm sure you'll all continue to buy - i'm already planning buying BEbop, Rocksteady and the new party wagon (I'm in the UK so i've still got like a a year wait on these)

I have to disagree Lack of Paint doesn't make Playmates great it makes them really F'n Lazy.
