how much were these?

IamtheKnight · 01-06-2009, 06:07 PM

8.99 each. Pant less shredder FTW!

Leonardo19 · 01-06-2009, 06:16 PM

Looks like one has made it to Ebay.

*MrPliggins* · 01-06-2009, 06:46 PM

must we complain about everything?

*Kendamu* · 01-06-2009, 07:33 PM

Yes. True fans whine about everything and buy it anyway.

*Kendamu* · 01-06-2009, 07:36 PM

For the most part, I'm glad these are out and can totally promote the OT universe and whatnot. However, only one thing minorly disappoints me: no character bios cards.

Nice to see Casey made the line, though. Casey is my favorite!

Oh, and pantsless Shredder rocks! It's like a masked anorexic Sumo wrestler.

EDIT: Oh, hey. Where can I pick these up?

**Jester** · 01-06-2009, 07:39 PM

Darn right....Foot Bot army for the win!

LOL! so true!

*BigApple3AM* · 01-06-2009, 08:34 PM

It's a bit of a shame they're not keeping the individualized cards since they're already done anyway, but it'll definitely kick ass to see the old school stuff on the pegs again.

I sure as hell don't remember that from the original line. yeah great job Playmates, you cant even display your figs in their package upright.

Thank you for covering everything I thought, I'm just going to have Sarah speak for me from this point forward

I've said from the start that I will not be buying a single one of these, and the disappointment continues.
There is one thing to whine and then there is constructive criticism which Sarah is doing and she is completely correct about the things she listed.
That is some of the worst layout and design work I've ever seen, it's sloppy as all hell.
I can't wait to see how aesthetically displeasing the back is now.
Each character should have their own had brand new art that was close to the old box's but different enough that people knew, they should have also used some sort of gold anniversary sticker or something.
I made it one of my goals not to complain in this new year, but it's hard to not be disappointed when untalented hacks are out there doing bad design jobs.

*VaughnMichael* · 01-06-2009, 09:25 PM

These are just so horrible in a graphic designers eyes it makes them want to bleed purple goo.
Geez the back is even worse I seriously cannot believe those images ended up on it!
And I am dumbfounded that they would release that horrible little Krang that came with the 1994 Android Body without the body.
It looks as if Krang will be some sort of pack-in for pantless Shredder.
They should have just release this again.

EDIT: oh and I told you guys Slash was being re-released didn't I, maybe people will start listening to what I say around here.

**Jester** · 01-06-2009, 09:30 PM

Ok, Vaughn, I consider you a bud and that's kinda tired...

thegame24 · 01-06-2009, 09:38 PM

Found these today at a Target in Indiana. The DCPI is 087 06 2080

*sdp* · 01-06-2009, 09:38 PM

Wow, they're very expensive for what they are. I expected them to be 5-6 dollars. Not having Krang was a stupid stupid move, as much as I like Slash.

LMAO if Shredder is actually Pants-less.

Anyway the DVD looks like its using the same type of LionsGate artwork, could they actually be the volumes packed in? That would make it a great deal, at least those who don't own them. Though its more likely they all have different random episodes that don't even feature the character you just bought. Who knows maybe they include the skipped episodes from the volume sets

I dropped that suggestion with Murphy awhile back; no clue what came of it, though. Guess we'll soon find out.

thegame24 · 01-06-2009, 09:41 PM

The package says there are five different DVDs and each one has one episode.

Looking closer, it looks like the old Playmates box art actually.

What part Jester? The part where people keep being a-holes into the new year even though the things I've said a millions times keep being proven or the part where I really don't give a flying fu$# anymore?

NoPressApril · 01-06-2009, 10:08 PM

ummm, anyway back on track. Thanks for the DCPI # thegame24 it looks like i'm going to have to stalk Target to get the new April as I can't find any online retailers that are offering these by the case. I really thought that Entertainment Earth would be selling these but I would have thought that they would have had these up for preorder by now. If anyone comes across any sites selling these by the case please post and let me know, I would be most appreciative.
