What would you not buy from PlayMates?

I can think of a few things I wouldn't be suprised if PlayMates made and I would for sure NOT buy them:

1. Talking Turtles (That say the same thing over and over, Example: Leo would keep saying "Be ready for anything!")

2. Sweating Turtles (Jakks Pacific made Wrestlers that sweat.....)

3. Turtles that Spit (Remember these in the old TMNT figure line?)

4. Walking Turtles (Wind them up and they walk. I guess It could be cool but I seriously doubt it.)

I still want to see turtles in outfits USED from the show and talking turtles would be good.

I bought Deep Diving Don, Battle Nexus TMNT, Space Hopping TMNT LOL. But I haven't bought the air ninjas or the beyblade things. I will only buy Mystic Don when he comes out.

I've bought all 4 TMNT originals. I don't buy the Battle Nexus and crap like that. (By the way, the outfits they used for the ep "Time Traviels (sp?) is the toy line for Ninja Nights.)

I would love to see Battle Damage Turtles.

I don't think so. Who wants to see the turtles are bloody and scarred?

I think it makes sense. They go through all that, and no damage? The old Ninja Action figs were made to look like the comic characters. They have scars and everything. It's nice. (I would know, I have the Leo figure!)

Figures with horrible articulation, little-to-no detail, and crappy action features.

Oh wait.

Haha, I've got a Giant Don... and I'm trying to sell it... but no one in NZ wants it... haha. I wonder how much shipping to the U.S is...

I would buy the Talking Turtles, as long as they didn't trick me like the old ones... what the hell was Playmates thinking? I was so pissed with the old ones I threw away all those stupid cords and just played with my talking Cobra Commander... "Cobra... Viper Attack"

Is this year the 20th Aniversarry? I think Playmates should lend the license out to Mcfarlane, NCEA or SOTA to make an awesome 4 pack of the TMNT... damn that would be cool... I mean compare the Playmates Toxie to the NCEA Toxie... so cool.

Non show variants (and even some of those included on the show) of any character.
