Just a recolored version of the first one?
There's so few villain vehicles yet they make three different Shellraisers and a Party Wagon. :/ |

I know I'm not the only one who wants the Bebop and Rocksteady Van?

I don't collect this stuff, but as a hypothetical, absolutely. It's simple, but anything that actually comes from the show is cool n my book.

The damn thing only has a repaint and two new crappy features. The wheels go up to emulate the subway car thing like in the show and it has a better tire grip or something. I feel like the Lego set had better purpose with the wheel thing, at least they produced train sets that were compatible with it. Playmates has nothing for that.

More and more I buy toys from this line and put them with my Megabloks turtles since the scale works way better.

monday i went shopping for food, decided to check what tmnt toys they had. and let me tell you, they had a full stock of both nick and movie toys. the technodrome, vehicles, and i couldn't stop staring, and it clicked. somewhere in my vague memory i remember seeing the same thing back when the original toyline was out. and a wave of nostalgia hit me. it was weird. anyway. i found space comrade april, whom i've been meaning to pick up. and mondo gecko. again, i remember the day i bought the original, so the nostalgia feels were strong.
 the biggest score though was armaggon and karai. these were the only two left. armaggon was front and center, while karai was a few pegs back.  lastly unmasked casey jones. i left him behind since i didn't have enough to buy five figures.  all in all, i will admit i retired from buying playmates toys, but with muckman being release next year my faith in the company grew a little. and with how much articulation armaggon and paint apps he has, i am fairly impressed. even karai is a very superb figure. great paint, no laziness. sure she has no wrist swivles, or elbo articulation, but thats to be expected being it a female figure. overall i am happy

Even if the toys aren't quite up to par these days, yeah, seeing a nice full display of them can still invoke a pretty fun feeling, if a short lasting one. & it's true they have stepped up the quality on their last 2-3 figures (looking forward to grabbing Karai in due time), I hope it's a continuing trend. I'm sure those of us who frequently harp on Playmates don't exactly want to, per se. I love their old stuff (& the first wave or two of the Nick series), & would welcome a proper return to form. Same as you, I'm psyched for Muckman. If they could follow up with a Wyrm & Wingnut, they'll get more $$$ outta me yet...

Wyrm and Don Viziouso are actually my most wanted figures at the absolute top of my list.
On a different subject, does anyone know when the next wave is coming as well as who it'll be? Is it Muckman and the turtle zip line variants? |

If they make the other 2 Dream Beavers I'll be a very happy man.
As much as I harp on Playmates both Karai and Armaggon are pretty nice figures, now if only I could find them without sloppy paint. I do look forward to seeing what figures are coming out next even if I don't buy from them like I used to. |

I just want Playmates to make another Rockwell figure where he actually has is Krang Helmet and Arm guards. heck give him a eye popping feature like he has done in the show.

Hey, cool, I actually wasn't sure that removable mask OotS Casey Jones had been released!
I have been on the lookout for Armaggon and (especially) Karai, but no success yet. The ol' OotS line really eats up a lot of shelf space at most stores!

I just secured the four 'Ninja' action feature figures.
    Slightly more color to them, but the missing foot wrapping apps would have made these guys actually look pretty good. I like how the action feature can be seen without having to remove from package. And, it's another complete set of the Turtles. |

They've got some nerve showing the figures fully painted right on the front of the box next to the underwhelming product itself.

Leo and Donnie both lack the same apps, one thing I will say, is that is one of the better looking Mikey heads they've released on Toon Turtles.
