Future of the TMNT Line

[Head Spinnin' Bebop]

So, whats everyone think regarding the future of the TMNT Movie line or even the show line? I'm more into the movie line myself, so thats what I'm more curious about. Especially with Spider-Man taking over right now and Pirates a bit as well.

Do you think there is still lots more to come beyond the next series we saw protos of at the Fall Toy Show? If a second movie is hopefully done, then I'm sure will see a continuation, but such as finishing off all the monsters? Maybe doing the guys Leo took out at the beginning of the movie? New Foot Soldiers? In your area has the TMNT merchandise been selling well? Are stores clearing it out?

I sure hope the line still has a lot of steam left in it. From what I've seen, its been very popular and selling very well. Then you've also had some sales on them recently as well. With the new movie and Playmates new line, not since the original line have I been this into collecting TMNT.

Most stores I have been visiting have been either selling out regularly or not being stocked very efficiently.

I imagine if they release more after the next series it will be near the dvd release so they can miss the POTC and Spider-man fever for awhile.

I always figured it was the end of the line after the movie dies down, unless they make a second season of FF with new characters, or continue the original 2003 storyline.

They'll be sure to make new toys based on a movie sequel, but it's not like they're gonna be making a sequel any time soon.

So far the only figures I know of unreleased are:

Sloth Monster
Sea Monster
Cyclops Monster
Hooded Jungle Leo
Skateboard Mikey
Surveillance Don
Monster Trap Raph
Splinter vs Big Foot Monster
Turtle Lair
Shredder (based on the game right? Wasn’t in any movie, not even pics, so not interested)
Motorcycle Turtles

I believe someone here said they contacted Playmates and they said Splinter vs Big Foot would be out in the Fall. But I'm not all that sure.

[Coola Yagami]

So uh... they fight Big Foot in the movie...? Are the 13 monsters supposed to be based on actual monsters? I see they already have the Jersey Devil there...

Playmates considers the movie line a new line all in itself and says that it will continue to release new things from it through the fall.
Same with Fast Forward. and this is no April fools joke.

Even though a lot of people thought the game was going to use the Movie design for Shredder, they actually used the 2003 figure design.

Anyways, I think the next set of figures will be out this summer, near the DVD release. I hope I'm wrong and they come out sooner because I really want some of them

No it's a new design, doesn't match the picture in the beginning and the Shredder in the game is the 2K3 Utrom Shredder.

[Head Spinnin' Bebop]

Yea, too bad. Well, hopefully we some of Shredder in a hopeful sequel, even if just in flash backs with a cool non 2k3 series design. Mix of the live action and their new CG look. Since we did see his helmet and picture. Anyone have a screen cap of the picture in the movie? I dont rem it.

Yeah? Seems odd for a movie line to go on that long, but that's cool with me. Hopefully we'll get a "regular" version of Casey Jones before it's done.
