It's not April 1st where I am so I'm hoping this isn't a joke.

Depends on what you're referring to. There is no "Archie Line" as some have jumped to the conclusion of.

**Jester** · 03-31-2011, 06:04 PM

There is only the slight possibility of an Archie line, which to quote Vernon from The Shredder is Splintered is, "Good enough for me!"

They are basing them off the old toon for now but I asked if it did well could they pull from other things (Archie) and they said yes.

COOL!!!!! But... do they really look accurate? If so....

AWESOME!!!!

If Playmates is finally getting their s**t together, this is potentially awesome.

The general subject of the new toyline and an oldschool line. I'm really hoping that it's not some April Fool's crap.

As for Playmates getting their stuff together, I'm guessing that working with a larger company that has more to safely invest in the overall presentation has something to do with the figures being better than this last generation.

this is very very awesoem news!

Everything Vaughn has said is legit. I'm not quite sure that everyone has interpreted it correctly, though.

*Kendamu* · 03-31-2011, 07:29 PM

Obviously not. That's easy to do, though, when we're all still really excited about stuff we're not allowed to know about or not allowed to talk about and we all want to talk anyway due to said excitement.

*CyberCubed* · 03-31-2011, 07:37 PM

Is Playmates still going to release those Mirage figures, the ones that were to compete with the Neca Turtles?

My thoughts exactly. I loved that line when it hit and now this is, lets just say, trouble

Timmetry · 03-31-2011, 09:41 PM

I'm pretty much done with playmates. Their figures have pretty much been crap since they first started (I just didn't notice when I was a kid). As far as the turtles go, the NECA figures were the ultimate figures and I don't think I will ever buy another turtle figure that is not up to par with them.

*oldmanwinters* · 03-31-2011, 09:45 PM

Well, look on the bright side, if Playmates goes with the 3-toed turtles, at least they won't have the temptation to rehash their old molds!

I always felt like their "Mutations" lines were way too similar to one another.

Archon_Turtle · 04-01-2011, 12:01 AM

One thing i thought was really cool is that the figures they had there that did stuff actually performed like they were supposed to every time. I don't mind some ninja action turtles as long as they do the ninja action they are supposed to do every time *cough* Fast Forward weapon throwers *cough*

xZAOx · 04-01-2011, 12:19 AM

I'm going to have to see it before I fully believe it, just after seeing their attempts at Mirage-inspired figures. I am hopeful though!

Did they give any details as to when the public will get to see whats coming out?

After reading what you said I'm VERY interested in these toys now.

**Jester** · 04-01-2011, 12:34 AM

Looks like I need to check out Toyfare...again.

I didn't go to the presentation, went in afterwards for some quality play time

Haven't heard a solid date, but I suspect in conjunction with, or slightly prior, to the new series. Not sure if they announced a date to the group or not, but I can't wait.
