I hate it how Playmates make stupid and useless pegwarming variants of the Ninja Turtles! I mean, I do love the one variants from the show like the LARP Turtles, Dimension X Turtles, Mystic Turtles, etc. But some of these Ninja Turtles variants seem so useless and also, I hate it how the appearance is way better than their appearance iny he show.

I got the Raph to check it out. The plastic feels a lot softer. The head doesn't move much due to the gimmick, but odd a gimmick figure has knee and elbow joints and rotating wrists. Just missing shoulder joints and a better head sculpt.

I wondered how the actual plastic of the figure would be. It looks almost like rubber to me. Thanks for the info!

so it looks like Playmates forgot to give Space Casey a Hockey Stick. How do you forget to put weapons with Casey Jones.

By being Playmates Toys.

And uh...where did these random OT figures come from? I wasn't even aware that they were making another appearance in the Nick show. But yeah, I'm still sold on space April. She'll be the first Playmates figure that I've purchased since Bebop and Rocksteady.

Also, is there any particular reason why Muck-Man was cancelled? I was really looking forward to him.

Muckman isn't officially cancelled yet.

I am still looking forward to Muckman, and I expect him to be very good. It'll be interesting to see if everyone who is complaining about his demise will go out and buy him...or complain about the missing paint apps

Haha Good point, DVD!! I too am excited for this figure and I'm guessing the majority of complainers will find an excuse to not purchase him one way or another.

I'll be buying Muckman regardless of what he looks like because I bitched about him being cancelled.

They did or at least Western themed in the 90's.

I will buy him and repaint him. I like the challenge of paint detailing my figures and Muckman looks like a lot of fun, just like the original.

Likely they decided that they couldn't include any more accessories other than the space armor/suit and still stay in budget on the figure.

Not new at all. They had spitting Turtles back in the vintage line as well.

I don't know where DVD is getting that Muckman is coming out when Playmates Customer Service said he was cancelled and is not coming out. Just wait for toy fair and then we will know

This is an odd figure, considering the packaging has Nick Raph, he has eyes and skin color like Nick Raph, but the proportions me of 2007 movie Raph, but the deco is FW Raph. The snount is a bit pointy though.

I kinda wished for FW style turtles in the 4 inch line, not some weird looking squirter. Did a monkey's paw answer my wish?

Could the spitting turtles be new 80's turtles action figures from the upcoming 80's turtles crossover episode?

Interesting...I see that is from December 11th as well. I just saw recently that Paula said that they are still considering a release of the figure. You are right though, we will have to wait and see at NYTF because Pixel Dan is planning to ask and perhaps the figure will be on display? Sounds like Playmates' reps lack communication, even within their company!

Great pic, indeed! Thanks for the comparison.
