Some New Playmates TMNT Figures For Jan. 2009 - Page 2

Wingnut · 11-13-2008, 03:39 PM

I have seen far worse Turtle figures, but damn these are pretty awful

I will get a couple Cyber Foot and a Shredder, though.

*Ninjinister* · 11-13-2008, 03:46 PM

Now let's see how laughable the Mini-Mutant Cyber Turtles are....

(Watch them look better than the full-sized ones... >.<)

I wouldnt call it a fetish. id call it a sick joke.

I'm not a toy collector, so I won't be getting these either way, but I just thought I'd ask: Is it possible these aren't the final colors? If the chest plates and helmets on the Turtles were just colored in, you'd have something reasonably accurate. The patterns are all there.

They also appear to have weird grooves on their feet. (Is that normal? I've never seen a movie figure up close.) Could that be a sign that there will be further painting/attachements to the legs?

cant wait till these come out in 2009 with every other thing that has to do with tmnt

Everything else screams "We slapped metallic plastic on everything! OOOH Cyber-ness!"

They could have acutally reused the FF toys for something more accurate... but accurate isn't what they want. They want whatever they can pretend to care to sell to kids.

And if they reuse the hell out of the movie sculpts, they could at LEAST lower the price to 6 bucks a figure, instead of raising them back up around 10.

But the fact they pulled the CyberShredder and Foot Soldier (which was, what? in one episode for 5 seconds?) out of their asses and made them look like new figures amazes me... they've set the bar THAT LOW....

Even if they still feel they need to go with Playmates, they should fire the guy in charge. Is there some new job requirement that forces everyone to be completely apathetic towards their work? Cuz I'm sick of seeing it. And not just here... it seems everyone is dangerously unqualified or dangerously apathetic.....

No, they more than likely will skimp on the paint even more than this when they come out.

I'm glad people are starting to get what I've been saying for years now.

Sweet, my dream of Special Olympics Turtles has finally come true!

I'm not the only one to see that, am I? The movie turtle toys have always looked a little special with their eyes so far apart, but the helmets put them over the top.

IamtheKnight · 11-13-2008, 08:01 PM

Well damn if I buy those cyber turtles there's some more customizing jobs that I have to do. I'm making the Turtle's in their foot gear from Btts using Ff toys then I'm going to buy cyber Shredder and Cyber foot and I will have to customize those so.... Why does Playmates have to be so damn lazy?!!

*odupianist* · 11-13-2008, 08:12 PM

Everyone who wants to customize these to look right, I say this... just buy the regular movie figure and use other equipment. I mean I'm sure you can find better armor than Playmates has

*Eiko* · 11-13-2008, 08:53 PM

Cyber Michelangelo looks horrible they should put some more thought into making the turtle toys.

*Ninjinister* · 11-13-2008, 09:03 PM

Y'know, it's bad enough that they keep releasing inaccurate versions of the figures... but when these are going to be released so damn late, you'd think they'd at least pay a wee bit more attention to detail.

Stupid f#*ing Playmates....

*CyberCubed* · 11-13-2008, 09:08 PM

Is it wrong that I think the Music Turtles look better than these?

**Jester** · 11-13-2008, 09:37 PM

No, because they do. At least those are marginally creative, these are just disgusting and totally inaccurate.

Mutated Turtle · 11-13-2008, 09:58 PM

when these come out i am painting them to look like the way they do on the show

*bangs head* Why.. are.. they.. still.. on.. the.. sh*t.. movie.. molds?! Geezus, I think I've gone blind.

I have not bought a figure since the Jungle Leo and I only bought that because I thought it was well done.

This? What is this? This looks like a four-year-old took some paint and plastered it randomly all over. Hell, the four-year-old could be probably more creative than this. It's a disaster.

And I was so looking forward to getting a new Leo figure.

Buffy · 11-14-2008, 12:35 AM

Wauw, those cyber turtles look lame! I'm so not spending my money on these figures.

*Hero* · 11-14-2008, 04:01 AM

Well, you never know. Mini Mutant Cyber Turtles may end up looking better.

Well I DID say that Raph and Don looked like they came straight out of the X-Games but Special Olympics is close enough.

Still think Leo's just come off the set of Star Wars tho. Like he just came out of an X-Wing fighter and forgot to take off his helmet.

Because they apparently don't want to spend all that much making them because they don't sell because they look like crap, because they don't want to spend all that much making them because they don't sell because they look like crap, because they don't want to spend all that much making them because they don't sell.....

It would be impossible for them to look worse.

I mean, even reusing the movie sculpts, something we all should have guessed (and something I guessed) stuck metal bits on their chests and called it "Armor." This is just absolutely lazy. Though, once again, I'm impressed Cyber Shredder isn't just that translucent blue crap slapped onto it.
