More cheesy Mini-Mutants clobber on the way. That's me content anyway.

Back onto the 25th Anniversary figs. I've tried painting Leo's Katanas and Raph's sai blades in silver, and also some shurikens too. Not looking bad thus far.

I don't mind variants that small, myself. They're easier, cheaper, and more fun to collect than the 10 dollar regular figures. But the only thing that bugs me is how the S.W.A.T. force turtles come with the same villains. Rat King looks like a repaint, but Hun? He even has the same hammer. Wasted potential for other characters, some they didn't even make yet. But those Fire Fighters that come with flaming dragons and what I chose to believe is Viral are actually kinda cool.

But as far as the comic figures are concerned... the turtles look fine, but everything else looks like it needs a hell of a lot more work. Shredder shouldn't come with a detachable mask, but rather, detachable, alternate heads. Plus, I really would like to see it at another angle. And upwards angle does NOT flatter it one bit.

*Hero* · 02-08-2009, 01:16 PM

Yes. It's a shame about Hun. If the toy had been painted in BTTS colours, I might have warmed more to the idea of owning one again. The brown variant of The Rat King I'll gladly welcome.

Other figures like Mini: General Mono, Bigfoot, and Foot Ninja who have been only confined to playsets would have been more suitable candidates for upcoming VS packs IMO.

UPDATE:
The 25th Anniversary weapon repaints are ok... I think I should have mixed the paint better maybe. Still, it's a fun thing to try out.

Unless they're combining Season 7 with another season why the hell would I want to buy 4 1 disk sets containing 6-7 episodes a disk?

METALHEAD · 02-08-2009, 06:51 PM

http://nycc09.figures.com/showphoto....e=9999&way=asc looking at the shredder he looks alright. hmm...am i too open minded on these toys? oh well. i wanna see the rest of the turtles in theyre red bandanas.

http://nycc09.figures.com/showgallery.php heres more pics.

*VaughnMichael* · 02-08-2009, 08:39 PM

I was at the show, cold and all, had a great time, saw these figures in person and I have to say these images make them look like total sh1t and trust me you know I'm on of the hardest people to please but both the mini mutants and Mirage comics figures playmates had at the show looked so much better than any photo I've seen of them yet.
The turtles that was saw in the low rez press release photo seriously do them no justice at all, they have a nice wash over them and everything.

**Venom** · 02-08-2009, 11:18 PM

Hm, if the orange things are part of Murph's Fire Monster idea that he pulled out of his ass, then Dooney's designs look pretty cool! Wonder if the mysterious crystal thing that's not Shredder is the Meteor Monster?

Going by no releases since the Wave 1 Mini Mutants, and no TMNT on show at the UK Toy Fair, I have high doubts any of this will reach British shores.

It's no good even enquiring to Vivid Imaginations, they either put me through to Paula or Paula bounces me back to them

I at least hope that the 25th Anni reissues would at least be released here since they were at one time gold-dust during the build up to Christmas 1990. Seeing these on shelves again might have done well or at least sparked a reaction of sorts.

I also see what you mean there, Vaughn. The pictures on Toynewsi also showed a poorly maintained toy display with figures that had been knocked over or played with.

*Mr._Mutant_Man* · 02-09-2009, 10:06 PM

Wow, every price I see for the 25th anniversary figures online looks like a total ripoff. Do they really get people to buy them at those prices?

9 bucks? meh, aint bad. Action figure in general are expensive these days, and these come with a DVD, so i don't think its to expensive.

veemonjosh · 02-10-2009, 02:47 PM

Bought a Rocksteady figure at Toys-R-Us yesterday. Awesome toy to display on my shelf, but the weapons were difficult as hell to split apart.

Even though it is incredibly expensive for a figure, I'm more that willing to pay this much for the characters that never got 2K3 toys.

*VaughnMichael* · 02-10-2009, 02:53 PM

It seems to me that right now Toys R Us is the only place to get Splinter, April, Bebop, & Rocksteady.

*Ninjinister* · 02-10-2009, 02:56 PM

To TRU I go then!

*Hero* · 02-10-2009, 03:27 PM

Fantastic value, I say.

Sucks that Wave 2 of the re-releases don't come with DVDs

strawberryfields · 02-10-2009, 03:40 PM

Maybe they'll come with some other gimmick.

EDIT: wait, did Beebop and Rocksteady come with anything?

mattmanw54301 · 02-10-2009, 05:13 PM

BBTS.com has the set of 8 for 79.99.

IamtheKnight · 02-10-2009, 06:11 PM
