so does anyone know about the playmates mirage turtle lines status. are they coming out around the same time as wave 3. i hope it still gets released.

Yeah, actual evidence would be nice. I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, since the Movie Star Turtles have ALWAYS sold well, even loose/incomplete in some cases on e-bay, that Playmates IS considering making them all one color and doing brown elbow pads and knee pads to match the belts. That would make sense considering that making them stand out from other releases might guarantee they sell just as well.

Ah, a reissue of Slash to go with my army of MOC Slash figures =P We need more Slash, and I second having the Movie stuff again

I just perused both the December AND January issues, WORD for WORD. Nothing specific about TMNT, let alone Movie Star Turtles.

I'm beginning to think that wave 3 is gonna be released in 2010 with the other toys, because when I emailed Playmates again, I received this message:

What the hell, Playmates? Just... seriously, what the hell?

2010 isn't even the 25th Anniversary anymore...

Oh, well. Better late than never, I suppose. I just hope I'm not jinxing it by saying that.

ROTFL. That's awesome (as in, not).

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 11-28-2009, 04:04 PM

Yeah.... better late than never. I still want to buy 25th anniversary wave 2 Bebop and Rocksteady anyways.

I was starting to think that there wouldn't be any new TMNT figures until the 2012 Nick Toon, or the new movie.

Who is in wave 3? Shredder, Foot Soldier, Casey, and Slash right? I hope there is a Krang in Android body. The only way to get a Krang now is to be over charged on ebay, and I am not going to do that.

I wish I had all my old 1980s-1990s TMNT figures, but they are all long gone now.

*ToTheNines* · 11-28-2009, 04:05 PM

Why???????

*Oculus Orbus* · 11-28-2009, 04:41 PM

Playmates has been a pain in the ass for many years now. Their Mirage Turtles are insulting, as always lately, specially now that we all have our NECAs. The best thing they've done in the last five years is the 25th anniversary re-releasing (and the Fugitoid), wich gives you an idea of how lost they are. I mean, I love all this re-releasing thing, but a company like Playmates should offer something else, like, dunno, new sculptures for new toys, maybe?

It's sad that Nick decided to keep them in the franchise, because it would have been a great moment for a change.

*Ninjinister* · 11-28-2009, 04:53 PM

Epic facepalm.

Not you, Playmates.

Oh ok, sorry Ninjinister, I misunderstood you.

Idiots at the playmates, man. I was expecting to see these come out this holiday season. It would have made sense.

or it could be possible that person has no idea and he/she's just giving you a random guess.

However, I think people should check in with their local Toys R Us from time to time in case they make an appearance this holiday season.

billbot85 · 11-28-2009, 11:25 PM

Yeah I agree, its possible that she didn't really know and was just speculating. It's not the first time shes given me a vague answer. I too think we should keep checking Toys R Us in case they pop up, coz the TRU website has all the other figures and Party Wagon in stock again!!

Sorry I apologize, just checked the website and the 4 turtles are out of stock again, but I'd still keep checking the stores!

I have seen this image at mikeystmnt.com, and it is the only saving grace I have in knowing these figures exist. Totally can't wait to have them, and then I can complete my display.

andrewdsz · 11-29-2009, 07:58 PM

That pic doest mean anything. It can stll get canceled.

I truly wish playmates doesnt **** it up this time because i really need that small krang to complete my android body.

billbot85 · 12-01-2009, 09:21 PM

well lets hope it doesen't get cancelled. Just gotta have faith. I don't think there is much of a reason to cancel it when they confirmed having the Movie Star Turtles and other toys out in 2010.
