i'm basically looking for bebop, splinter, shredder and maybe slash. but since my closest TrU don't carry them and neither does Zellers, i'm holding out that they'll be available at Toys3 in Toronto when i get there in August

I found my shredder and slash and foot a few weeks ago a TRU. Has anybody fixed shredders horrible leg yet? I think I'll have to end up trying to boil the leg and hope it resets in a position that would actually let him stand up.

I thought that new mold was meant to help Shredder stand up better....

i think Shredder's fine as is.

The 25th shredder is acutally the best old toon shredder ever produced. Not only he included a mini krang, but also they improved his ability to stand(a new leg mold) and his eye-lash got improved.

Highly recommendin every tmnt fans to get that figure while u can(under 15$ is a good price), he is pretty rare though.

ah so there is a slight difference in the Shredder figures. what about Splinter?

billbot85 · 03-25-2010, 07:18 PM

nothing really different about Splinter...except his robe is made out of a different material (seems thinner than the material from the original Splinter I used to have)

*CyberCubed* · 03-25-2010, 08:33 PM

So I have Shredder and Slash, but I still need to find the damn Foot Soldier.

interesting.....

*Coola Yagami* · 03-26-2010, 08:24 PM

Wait... so Playmates actually released these figures after all???

*TheCanadiandrome* · 03-27-2010, 09:13 AM

does anyone know the differences between the 25th ann. Turtle Van and the '88 Turtle Van? any significant changes?

billbot85 · 03-27-2010, 10:37 AM

The only major changes I noticed was that is no "Boot the Foot" sticker on the side ramp door below the foot tenderizer door, no stickers around the two bombs, and it did not come with an elastic band to strap someone in the tenderizer seat (but its not hard to find rubber bands).

Also, all the stickers come pre-applied, saving you the trouble of applying them yourself.

Okay heres what I'm talking about

My shredder has a jacked up leg and he will not stand up at all unless you put something behind him. You have to really make his legs go far apart, it was actually a bit worse when i got it but i had been trying to bend it so leg will stand.

I'm trying to figure out if this is the way the new leg is supposed to be and all the figures are like that..... or mines messed up and the otheres are different.

billbot85 · 03-27-2010, 02:14 PM

ok I see what you mean...i can imagine that having an extended leg and bent leg could make it harder to stand Shredder up. My 25th Ann. Shredder is staying in his package so I wasn't able to see that problem.

I have a 1990 Shredder loose instead and he stands up fine, so I guess the vintage mold holds up better

nofuture4u · 03-27-2010, 03:35 PM

I'm pretty sure all the 25th Shredder's have that leg.
As for differences in the van...
other than what's allready been listed the colors are slightly different shades. Example brighter green

cool. well that settles that, i deffinately want one.

I called toys r us and they had a full case so I went and picked up a Slash, Foot, and Shredder. As a tmnt toy collector I was going to buy these regardless, but if you're just trying to get the best representations of these characters I recommend tracking down the originals.
