I moderate at Advanced Iron and just merge stuff like this when it pops up. It's just a fact that you'll have repeated topics when a forum has been around for a while.

Everytime there's a new announcement about Iron Man 2, I'm online merging like a maniac.

Back to topic, maybe the MJ figures will be in scale to TMNT and we can get some great animated looking pedastrians ala the vintage Turtles cartoon!

So they canceled the Mirage Turtles for the third time?

I believe so. I actually never really had much hope in them releasing those figures.

This is Playmates.

YYyyup! I hate the idea of rereleases. I'd be more accepting of it if Playmates would have resculpted these figus the way Hasbro did with the GI Joe 25th line....

atleast they resculpted Shredder's leg, but all new new sculpts would have been cool too.

Although the cat is clearly already out of the bag, Playmates production asked me to forward this along this morning:

Dear TMNT Fans and Collectors,

As the license of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles transitions to Nickelodeon, Playmates Toys will be re-strategizing the launch of new products over the next few years. We are dedicated to working with Nickelodeon to making our future toy line best represent the new Turtles cartoon and movie (tentatively scheduled for 2012). Because of this transition, no new product releases are planned for 2010. We will keep you up to date with product launch information as it becomes available. Thank you very much for your dedication and hope you are as excited about the future of TMNT as we are.

Sincerely,

Playmates Toys

*Samhain* · 02-02-2010, 03:53 PM

Well this isnt unusual because of the sale so O well. I look forward to seeing ''new'' things from Playmates in this new Nick franchise.

*Candy Kappa* · 02-02-2010, 03:55 PM

can one hope that playmates use the time right to design marvel legends decent tmnt figures?

I'll look for a wishing star

*CyberCubed* · 02-02-2010, 04:05 PM

Can they maybe sell the Mirage Turtles online like the Fugitoid figure?

tipet · 02-02-2010, 04:15 PM

It seems they are focused on the 2012 figures.

I'm expecting an excelent toy line like we had in 1988. I have faith in the Nick-Playmates work.

I will try to complete my vintage colection until that year, but it had been better if they release the Movie Star Turtles.

I wouldn't count on it. I'd put those figures as lost.

what is LAFTA?

nofuture4u · 02-02-2010, 06:42 PM

Why not just buy an original cyber shredder and movie star turtles people? They're better 'cause they're the original.

Will their be any McD's/BK TMNT toys? I always loved getting toys as a kid with the kid meals.
