The TMNT 2 merchandise is already showing up? Where?

Also, if the final figures end up having as good paint apps as the figures on the box, I may pick them up.

DVD gets them early somehow , they're not out yet.

[DVD]

I will set up pics tomorrow.
All of my 2014 movie figures are in packs, but I can open the 4 figure box set to do the pics. I'll mimic the action shots so we can compare the 2014 and 2016 figures. Of course, if the 2016 figures arrive before the end of tomorrow I can do a straight set of side by sides !! 👍

Thank you DVD, that would be a really nice and useful comparison!

[Zulithe]

Thanks as usual DVD

Looking forward to seeing how the figures have changed from the 2014 versions.

[DVD]

They are a little bit older !!
I'm not expecting there to be much, if any difference.

[Zulithe]

They look VERY similar, but still, does Playmates really have the gall to re-release the same figures for an all-new movie? They are known for their corner cutting and re-use but come on, the first movie merch is just barely leaving shelves they can't re-release the same stuff and expect it to sell! We need them to have new accessories, new heads, SOMETHING that will seduce us into buying.

[Powder]

From what I could tell, at the very least they're re-using Mike & Raph's headsculpts. So, yeah, they have the gall. Not terribly surprising, but quite unfortunate.

[Splinter]

Re-using molds when possible is common in the toy industry.

Especially as production costs continue to rise and they don't want to raise retail prices.

It's just something one has to deal with unless you're buying expensive collector figures.

[DVD]

OK, hang on to your hats - this is going to bring tears to your eyes.
This contains MAJOR spoilers.



If you are still reading and don't want spoilers - last chance...










OK, this is your last chance.

I Don't know how to add a spoiler option - So I made the text white until I figure that out.

That didn't work - Help !!

Spoiler:

The TECHNODROME - Yes, there will be a Technodrome. Roughly same size as the old 90s one.

A new play based on the movie. Very similar to the original, but with extra bits!!

Basic Figures:
Leo, Don, Raph and Mikey (with skate board), all new.
then... Splinter, Casey, Shredder, Foot soldier, Bebop, Rocksteady - Kraang (just like the OT)
Plus Leo, Mikey and Raph in Mystic gear?

Vehicles:
Each Turtle with a different road bike - well, two bikes with two Turtles in each set.. and BB n RS with bikes

Deluxe figures:
All 4 Turtles plus BB n RS doing the same twirly motion that we got last time around.

11" figures:
All 4 Turtles, BB n RS

Pics in my camera, and will be uploaded soon.

That's not news to anyone, problem is that what they're re-using sucks. & re-using heads for redesigned characters isn't exactly a trend.

Sick update, DVD! Looking forward to seeing these guys.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Mystic gear? Seriously? That's bizarre.

[DVD]

How do I put text into a Spoiler box ?

[Powder]

Write [ spoiler] your text here [/spoiler] just take out the space after the bracket there.

[DVD]

I should have known that !!!! Cheers

Now I can put up pics without spoiling anything.

At this time all I have is the fold out leaflet that advertises all the new figures - it is contained inside the instructions bag for the new truck).

I like what I am seeing. I used the term Mystic earlier generically. Each of the Turtles has a different 'disguise'.

Spoiler:

Leo in Stealth Disguise, Mikey in pirate costume - looks awesome) and Raph in a Wing Suit. Again, no Don.

[Powder]

Ah, that must be from

Spoiler:

the halloween parade scene we've seen set photos of many months ago.

I guess that means Donnie is off with some other character at the time. Probably trying to save the day.

I can't wait to see the leaflet!

Thanks, DVD! It'll be nice to compare and contrast.

[TigerClaw]

Cool can't wait to see these pics, I know they aren't gonna be 100% accurate to the movies, but will be close enough, I would like to see what the Technodrome will look like for the movie.
