Six inches is still too big for the old toys, though.

Ah, well. More to buy. I'll get both versions!

I hope all of these lines do well so we can continue with more characters.

Playmates isn't trying to replicate the old toys from the 80s. They are trying to replicate what they looked like in the actual show from the 80s. They probably don't care that these releases are not in scale with 25 year old toys.

Has this Nick Storage Shell pic been posted yet?

This absolutely made my day. I like the Classic Line way more than I tought I would, but I do agree with those who say that they look more like a mixture of things than something straight from the OT. Really hope Karl Aaronian means what he's saying about expanding the line to another incarnations.

I feel a bit weird about the Nick ones. On one hand, the figures look killer, but they also look quite different to the promo images from the show we've seen so far. Despite the three toes, I really was digging the designs, and was hoping for a 100% accurate toy line. The clay look that some are disliking looks fantastic to me, and I wanted to see that in the figures.

Overall, I'm so ready to give them my money.

maaaaaybe, Jester.. but now i see that storage shell is impossible on the 6 inch Classics...... now i'm wanting to figure out the articulation and reasoning behind the belt being the way it is.

I sure hope they're right. *wipes brow from worrying and head shaking*

But they should, especially since the replicating the show bit seems to have failed.

*Hero* · 02-01-2012, 03:51 PM

Darn shame. The MTV videos won't broadcast in the UK.

Liking the pics. Will make a final judgement when I see and handle these figures in the plastic.

Ah...then the 10 inch TRU exclusive shell storage figures he was talking about must be these. There are probably only 6 inch versions of the Classics.

That's what they say they're doing, but the figures say otherwise.

In any case I think 6 inch is great.

billbot85 · 02-01-2012, 03:58 PM

wow, I am definitely looking forward to checking out the 6 inch classic line when it hits stores! Does anyone know when these new figures will be hitting stores?

The figures look very much like how the turtles looked in the 80s cartoon.

Exactly! MOTUC tower over the original figures... and i'd rather them do the old figure colors.... anybody else notice the big difference with Mikey's color and the rest of the fellas? lol

Mike has a more contrasting green color to him. But there are slight differences, at least that's what I'm seeing on my monitor.

*Candy Kappa* · 02-01-2012, 04:09 PM

not too found of how lacking the articulation looks on the non-turtle characters.

Smells a bit 07 movie figures all over again

Yeah, the wording of that tweet confused me, so I thought he was talking about 10 inch versions of the Classics figures. Seeing a pic of the 10 inch storage shell Nick figures makes me think that he meant them.

i can see the differences... but Mikey REALLY stands out.. lol

If the new figs are 4.25" to 4.75" then that means they're compatible with the vintage turtles!! Then that Sewer Playset has become more tempting now!
