Looks like he trying to poop. Or they used a Raph head and painted it purple.

I was moving figures around on the wall hangers , for these new guys when I had an idea to do blocks of individual Turtle variants. I was surprised to find that in the basic scale of Nick figures there were in excess of 20 variants of Mikey !! I hadn't realized they were that prolific.
I ended up only having Turtles on the wall display except the lowest line. I wasn't not going to have BB n RS on the wall.

I just picked up Karai this morning and this is now my favorite figure. Would've been perfect if she had double jointed knees and elbows. Waist swivel, sheath, and mask are a nice touch. Mine did come with two right thighs, however. You can see by the shape of the knee cut and how the left leg bends forward at 90 degrees. The tell is the same patent print on both thighs. Appears to be the same on page 47 post #924.

If anyone has two left thighs and is willing to go through the trouble to trade for a right, let me know. I may just get another one if I see her. Attached are some pictures.

Anybody have Ninja Strike figures out of package? I'm interested to know how the articulation works when the action feature isn't engaged. ...and now I've gotta go check my Karai...smh.

I believe it works, similar to the flingers with their throwing hand. Now when I get a Karai I'm gonna check to see if she has two lefties or righties. I would keep that in package.

Needler56 · 09-11-2016, 05:19 PM

So Karai's butt fell off. Looks like the glue didn't hold. While it was apart, I was able to easily disconnect the thigh from the shin with the help of a letter opener. No need for the boiling method of Classic Collection Animated Series Rocksteady. Attached are some pictures for reference if anyone's facing the same issue.

That's kind of a surprise, Playmates mediocre offerings, piss poor scale and articulation and lack of any effort in the paint department aside. Their basic lines usually hold up incredibly well against play, hopefully this isn't a vision of things to come.

Okay...

Is Playmates trying to point out how big Karai's butt is?

*go_ninja84* · 09-12-2016, 12:05 AM

Bet they went cheaper there to cut cost for more paint apps. Nice to know they are still cheap as crap

nimajneb · 09-12-2016, 02:02 AM

Playmates really can't win - the sculpting has been incredible since the off - yes they are missing some details but serious collectors would add their own apps if it was a deal breaker. I think its great PM's have listened to the fans and brought out Karai in human form with great detail too
The kids love these figures!

Huzzah · 09-12-2016, 06:42 AM

Playmates can't win because Playmates doesn't care about the game. Even their sculpts, which was once there stronger suit, have been mediocre at best. I used to be the one who bought and painted what was needed, but there comes a point when you're sick of having to redo everything that comes through your door. Even kids are complaining about how the figures look these days.

Zak The Neutrino · 09-12-2016, 10:58 AM

Playmates has been a big let down lately. I used to buy one of every figure for the basic line but I've scaled back now. Too many turtles variants and bad paint apps. Now I just buy the new characters that come out and skip the variants. The only recent variants I picked up was the Stealth Leo.

*Donatello19* · 09-12-2016, 01:18 PM

I used to collect every single figure (except for variants) but stopped after Bebop and Rocksteady. Haven't bought a single one since then. I'll get Karai if I see her, but I'm not gonna go crazy hunting for one.

*Autbot_Benz* · 09-12-2016, 01:27 PM

I haven't bought a playmates figure since either my Stockman-Fly or my mutations nick Mikey.I refuse to support a company that treats the adult collector like crap not to mention the whole NECA debacle.

Leo has spring shoulders but has most of the same movement that the wave 1 or storage shell has. Mikey needs a wheel chair, because the legs are weak unless your letting him kick your enemies, then he is A-ok. he also has all other joints like Leo. The gimmick has hurt my fav turtle.

I refuse to buy tmnt t-shirts because kids shirts (which would never fit me) or men's shirts are not made for my height. I saw a Target shirt once that had the original tmnt figures printed on the front for a kids shirt.

You know that's pretty funny. My April o' Neil figure with orange on the yellow jumpsuit did the same thing when I was 6. Though it didn't bother me too much, it went back together, nothing broken.

You know that could be said for every other "kids" toy line as well.

It's sad, right? Really makes you think of the classic line when it was in decline...

And don't get me started on the lack of vehicles or deluxe figures...

Finally tracked down Karai, Armaggon & Dire Beaver all at Walmart tonight. Apart from Robug is there anyone else coming out this year?

*IndigoErth* · 09-13-2016, 09:16 PM

While looking to see if my Walmart ever got the movie Casey with the removable mask (spotted one just before giving up) I came across a Nick Karai as well.

Surprised how nice the paint is. But could this figure be any tinier... feel like it should have been cheaper than the Turtle figures.

Ninja Strike are fully articulated. I was quite surprised myself, to find that.
