I hate how good that BST AXN April looks considering how tiny she's gonna be. Maybe someday there'll be an articulated 3.75" TMNT set I can pair her with...

After the Lawson Turtles comes out I think the only thing that could conceivably keep me buying TMNT stuff would be a fully fleshed out 3.75" line. I pimp a post about that whenever there is an op.

Imagine a 3.75" TMNT line made with the same sensibilities and art direction of G.I. Joe 25th and all of the TMNT vehicles and stuff that could be made. A company who did that right would make a billion in toy sales.

It's hardly my preferred scale, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't at least pic up Donatello and probably the foursome... unless they got greedy with the pricing, anyway.

Yeah man. Fully articulated like G.I. Joe 25th. I'd go apeshit. Imagine the Technodrome that could be made at that scale. Remote control Technodrome.

What 3.75" figures will be cool to use in order to customize them? I´d like to have the 2K3 Turtles toys in that size.

That April almost made me cave on this line and start ordering every toon figure.

Then I took some deep breaths and stopped myself.

Related note, though...the one thing I'm indulging on in this line is the 1 in 4 letter jacket color coded Turtles and I found Leo the other day to go with Don.

They are making Urban Legends figures? Wow. I haven't been paying attention because their initial turtle figures are so ugly, but now I am intrigued.

Oh geeze man, I couldn't begin to speculate as to how to customize actual Turtle figures starting with any existing base body. You'd need so much sculpy you might as well be a sculpter starting from scratch....

If that is a Bst AXN figure then that goes a long way to supporting that the Loyal Subjects are doing a "TMNT Universe of sorts"....

Here are some more pictures.



They look absolutely amazing, I know these are just 3D renders but the final products of BST AXN don't look that far off from the concept images.

Great concept. Too bad the joints are so distracting.

WOW! I would actually be interested in some IDW Turtles. I know we have NECA Mirage coming, but it would be nice to have TWO eras of comic TMNT on my shelf.

But I'm not that familiar with the Loyal Subjects. Are they really ALL going to be the same height? I know Donnie tends to be the tallest and Mikey the shortest in those comics.

And yeah... I hate the $50 price tag. I do hope that someday they will release these down the road without the motorcycles.

Did we ever get a confirmed scale on those things? Are they Bst Axn with bikes or are they some kind of special 67 release? If they are BST Axn, I'll pick them up.

They're BST AXN scale figures - nothing weird.

https://toybook.com/the-loyal-subjec...-2023-reveals/

Quote:
BST AXN TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES WITH MOTORCYCLE FIGURES

Ages: 8+ | MSRP: $49.99 | Available: Late Spring 2023

The Loyal Subjects expands its TMNT offerings with a fresh new look inspired by the fan-favorite IDW TMNT comic book series with the illustration prowess of Brazilian comic book artist, Mateus Santolouco. The first of the comic book-style TMNT BST AXN products will feature Raphael and Leonardo with matching red and blue street bikes. The motorcycles feature a realistic feel enhanced by rubber tires, front steering traction, front and rear brake paddles, and throttling grips. Each bike includes a kickstand and a rear tire action stand which lends to the illusion of the rider speeding across the terrain. Each figure boasts 31 points of articulation and comes with several hand grips, signature weapons, and two different head portraits, including one with a motorcycle helmet with a flip-up face shield.

Raphael will be available exclusively at Target while Leonardo will be riding into Walmart. Michelangelo (Target), and Donatello (Walmart) will hit the streets this fall with coinciding purple and orange street bikes.
