But if the walker is the same price as the Android body krang that's an easy pass for me

they can't sue this company because they aren't using the copyrighted names that Playmates owns. 3rd party companies come up with their own unique names to keep them from getting sued.

That is one of the most paper thin legal excuses ever.

I'm going to start making Mikey Moose action figures that look just like Mickey Mouse and see how long it takes before Disney sues the **** out of me

by your posts Hasbro should have sued all the 3rd party companies making Transformers figures but they haven't. Playmates doesn't care as they are done making classic stuff for the adult collector.

Just because they haven't been sued doesn't really make it ok. Most of the time it just isn't worth the companies time to sue these small companies that often times are in china, in which they can't do much about it.

And I'm not discounting these figures, they look nice and obviously playmates doesn't have any interest in making figures like these, so in my opinion, let other companies make them.

From what I've heard it might have something to do with the 3rd party figures often go with designs that haven't been made so Hasbro or Takara can't really sue them because they haven't made that character or design.
That and they shy away from calling the characters their real names.
A bit of a loop hole there.

As for the 3rd party for the TMNT, I guess it's a similar case as they are new sculpts and the more amorized design is a new and original idea that Playmates didn't do.

Ok, I was expecting Shred Head, but the walker was a surprise.
I hope they bring these out close to each other, time wise.
I would also expect a twin pack with the NT 1 and NT 2 together. Maybe!
With the same care and attention that went into NT1, I'm expecting these to be awesome.

I will buy both of these. Surprised another Krang is the second in the line but if I can have the walker to match the body then so be it! As long as it comes with another brain!

I was thinking the walker would be cheaper than then body but honestly $110 for something that is still pretty large with that much detail (in the concept) wouldn't be TOO, too much. Here's hoping though.

I'd love to see a concept for the Shredder too.

Can we try to keep this thread for any news or announcements regarding these upcoming figures? It was great that the "Look at this Classics Krang!" thread I was already in ended up being the same one where I found the production links months later.

Siiiiiiiiiick. The walker is an unexpected choice but I kid you not I had a feeling they were gonna do it.

Will be dope to have a Shredder as amazing as Krang.

It will be, but it shouldn't be anywhere near what we had to pay for the Krang and Android body.
