SO far the only nitpick I have is Leo's swords are the same length, but beyond that I'm loving every figure. I'm diggin Alfred's extra hands and that Superman mug

So nice to have so many adult collector friendly turtle figures. Suck on that playmates.

Don't suppose there's any likelihood these would get bootlegged, eh?

I was so ready to pass on these, but man, do they look good. But then again, what am I gonna do with that Alfred figure?

EDIT: I just noticed that one of the the stickers on Michelangelo's skateboard is taken straight from the original Mondo Gecko toy's t-shirt. Nevermind the Alfred.

Ordered them all on gamestop.com

Tip... don't order the 'bundle' unless you want to wait for all 5 sets to be in stock in December, where they will all ship and charge at the same time.

If you add each individual two-pack to your cart and check out... you will notice that you qualify for free shipping on EACH pack, and each one will charge and ship as they come in stock... so you can pay for them as they release, and spread out the load... not to mention you get them faster this way.

They are beautiful and can't wait!!!

The price is a bit high but I think these look totally worth it. As much as I love the NECA figures, it's great to see more companies getting in on the TMNT action and giving us a variety. And these turtles look a lot different from anything we have gotten so far. Adult collectors who are always complaining about playmates (I know I"m definitely in this group!) put your money where your mouth is and order these!!!

Well, I see a lot of bootleg stuff out there but I think it's super rare for DC Collectibles stuff to get bootlegged... however, bootleggers are very savvy and know when making bootlegs of certain things will bring in a lot of profit, and we know that TMNT bootlegs have been popular in the past (NECA, Revoltech, etc.) Assuming these are made in a country where bootleggers can get access to the molds and whatever else is necessary... it might be possible. I still think buying the genuine ones is going to be much more worth it in the long run due to the better quality.

It’s an awesome looking set.
I never expected so much from the cross over concept.

The 2-packs are $50, so $25 per figure and they are loaded with accessories... it's not a bad price point from DCC

Indeed, I have been collecting the DCC Batman the Animates Series figures, the single figures are usually between €25 and €30 over here.

Really hope the two-packs will be available in Europe at some point, they look awesome!

Just for fun, let's look at the current pre-order ranking on gamestop.com to see which packs have the most interest.

In order of hottest to least-hot (skipping over the non-TMNT items):
1. Batman vs TMNT Bundle of all 5
2. Batman/Leo
3. Robin/Raph
4. Ra's/Shredder
5. Batgirl/Donatello
6. Alfred/Michelangelo

Mikey is usually really popular, wonder why he's lowest? Is Aflred really that boring? Or maybe people decide they don't need it if they are already ordering the Previews exclusive Mikey As Batman figure

oh no I understand that. I buy the BAS figures as well, however it's the fact that its two packs at $50 that gets my wallet. Personally I only want Batman and Shredder, possibly Leo and Raph..I dont want to buy 3 two packs just to get two-three figures. If anything getting the Batman/Leo set is a must have, I want that shredder but have no need for the Ra's. If someone is wanting to go all in and get all of them, the price is perfect. I'd have just preferred a single release over the two packs

Man...if you really take a step back for a minute and think about it- This whole TMNT thing is a cash cow....I think it might catch on.

The whole idea of Tmnt adult collectibles only took about 30 years to go mainstream!

Having worked on the soft goods of this line, CJesim already received the Mikey as Batman figure.

The ninja is based on the SHF Figuarts blank body

same tactic used by NECA to get you to buy the whole set to get the turtles. i do agree the price is high i dont see why they couldnt do 20 per figure instead of 25 could have eased that down to an even 200.

i ordered a complete set because i loved the movie and couldnt pass these up. used my Power Rewards card i just paid off lol oh well i knew my wallet was gonna hurt this year

Cause they're chalk full of accessories and extra heads and hands, not to mention a whole lot of unique sculpting with the Turtles have different builds, DC Collectibles Essentials barely comes with accessories and they ranges for $23, and Marvel Legends who ranges around $20 rarely have any accessories with their figures.
