I don't buy a sirloin and get pissed it's not as tender as a filet. I ordered mine the second they were announced from a overseas company and got mine for 35 each real deal revoltech now people are paying 40 for bootlegs it's sad but you snooze you lose then you have to pay bbts high price for the real.
first off just because some lines made by revoltech get wave 2's does not mean all will, this isnt a regular toy line its a collectors line...there is nothing written in stone,paper or napkin saying we were ever going to get more than the turtles...hell these werent even released outside japan


even then its lucky we got the 4 turtles look at lines like sentai from figuarts...some teams never completed with no sign of ever being made putside red or other

...second not everyone who wanted them or wants them is able to afford that...hell i probably shouldnt of that was a good chunk of change but hey i am happy with the figures i got...not everyone has the funds to own every peice of merch they like..thier are irems i want them i know ill never own

So heres a couple of Bootleg Raph pics. As I said before absolutely no issues except the rubbery weapons.





https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...beedc7871b6551

Also another leo pic now I glued the stand



Ok on to Donnie

Like Raph there is no real issues. The neck joint is loads better than the others. Only real mentions are:

Staff Blade only folds away to about 90 degrees but I can live with that

Joints are a bit off colour



Hole in the shell to attach to the stand was too tight to fit the peg in. Quick file out sorted it.





So all in all I'm happy with him and raph. Leo is very liveable with.

Just Mikey to go.......

Posted my source earlier in the thread

Opened Mikey and there is a couple of issues.

The joint holding the bandana to the back of the head snapped of at a tiny touch. Will be glue-able but will lose a minor bit of articulation.

The lower half of the shell was not attached at all. Surprisingly tricky to glue in place but should be 100% fine when dry.

Nunchucks are too small for the hands to grip well or to fit securely in the belt. (Although I hear this is an issue with the originals)

Apart from these it seems fine but I will explore it better when the glue has dried plus add some picks.

Hmmm... the bandana joint is actually the revoltech joint. My original one have the same issue. as for the lower shell part there is also a revoltech joint in the torso which allows an ab crunch so they are supposed to be "apart". The loose chucks are also an existing issue with the originals.

I bought the four pack from user xiwenjun2013. Expected delivery 3/27 -4/30. So in other words, forever from now. Haha I'm already anxious to see what kind of quality mine are gonna be in. I really just wanted Donatello, but couldn't pass that deal up. Worst case scenario I fork over the money for a legit one. I've been researching these for a minute, just a shame I only recently found out about them.

Sorry, Perhaps I wasn't clear. It wasn't that split in the shell for the joint (Funnily I wasn't aware of this articulation until I opened my 3rd figure) it was the whole shell piece on the lower half that was'nt loose but not attached at all. It was a simple enough fix tho.

Shame about the joint in the head (The eye movement is a bit too stiff to aadjust with a tiny revoltech joint tbh) and te chucks are so annoying. Might pick through some other figures for a better fit.

They should've packaged two whirling chucks too/instead

Totally off subject question for you Jasey: Is "was'nt" a regional thing? You're the second Brit I've seen do that instead of wasn't and I'm not sure if on your end it might have just been a typo or if it's in fact correct in some places.

Oh I see. I got my figures from amiami and I did contact them about Mikey's eye articulation. They sent me a replacement head but to be honest, it was barely an improvement so I'm guessing the issue lies with the original mould.
