shredder and the foot look good *from here at least*...

the turtles are all wrong.
i cant tell though...are these re-used head sculpts? i swear mikey's had the same face for like the 3rd time now.......

ugh...guess we'll have to wait for the "fire" turtles to see what other bright ideas playmates has.

too bad nothing new til 09

Yeah I'll probably pick up Cyber Shredder, but not because I think it's an awesome figure. Because I have a weakness for Shredder toys and I don't like not having one I can easily get my hands on.

I think they missed a golden opportunity here with the Build-A-Figure. I see where they were going with Splinter, and data-bits and whatnot, and collecting his pieces to make the figure. But wouldn't it have been so much cooler to make Shredder the BAF, and then he could have been much bigger than all the other figures and maybe just a wee bit more accurate to the toon.

I posted the protos of this back in early October (lifted from the daily news on the official site), and it looks like they did the intelligent thing by at least recoloring Cyber Shredder red. I'm not a toy-collector, so I'm not gonna sift through all these comments to see if it's been said already. For those who aren't aware, these are supposed to be mini-figures. Buy all six to build Splinter. It says so here.

gobo, did you read the update that came to that same page about a day later?

Update: The folks at Playmates have let us know that due to some pricing issues the "Build-A-Figure" Cyber Splinter pieces will come packaged with their full-size Cyber Turtle figures, and not the mini-figures shown below as we originally reported.

What Vaughn posted are the full-size deals.

Really?? That is pathetic then...

*Ninjinister* · 11-14-2008, 05:31 PM

I actually think it's better that the Cyber Splinter pieces come with the full-sized figures, though. The way it was before, the Splinter pieces would replace the second figure in the Mini-Mutant two-packs. This means that even if they're crappy, we'll still end up with eight new Mini-Mutant figures instead of six.

**Jester** · 11-14-2008, 05:48 PM

I agree too...if only because it seemsa weird for a typical sized Splinter to be built by buying mini figures...then you'd have a huge Splinter towering over the turtles.

Hey, anyone remember waaaaaaay back when Murphy posted the first Cyber Turtle control art for the toys? It looks so much better, but far from right.

What's all this "This is a toy design and it may not appear in the actual show" Jazz, since it seems COMPLETELY the other way 'round.

And for that matter, where's Ch'rell?

*Hero* · 11-16-2008, 05:29 AM

Hey Playmates, you could get the Bigfoot toy from the movie line and stick a ginger wig and beard on it to pass as Master Khan. No one will notice.

LOL! I was planing on making a master Kahn figure my self so what base should I use for the figure?

*Zachatello00* · 11-16-2008, 10:39 PM

Kinda looks like the turtles are about to go play laser tag.

Playmates is trash. Hopefully they lose the TMNT license and Mattel or Hasbro picks it up.
