Someone was talking about the playset that was coming out with the new figures.It looks very similar to the Batcave playset that came out for "The Batman"series that ran on Cartoon Network 2005 or 2006.It was just a big tower that had a cardboard backdrop.That's what the TMNT playset reminds me of.

*VaughnMichael* · 02-02-2012, 06:28 PM

I'm surprised no one else has mentioned the return of hand drawn box art.
That is a big + for me, but I'm pretty sure it went way during the turtles last run because Peter Laird didn't like it.
But he also thought the Classics line was a bad idea.

You have to keep buying all of the classics, until they make these.
They will continue the line as long as it sells good.

Beware, lots n lots of haters.

But at least 680 Fans!

This may have already been answered on a thread but...

Can somebody tell me what that white spot on April's left shoe is supposed to be?

*Wes* · 02-02-2012, 08:23 PM

Looks like poster tack; they're probably using it to keep the figure from falling over.

I'm kinda annoyed that April and Shredder (I think?) don't appear to have knee hinges. Heck, April doesn't even have hinged elbows. :/

Uki · 02-02-2012, 08:23 PM

Okay, I've been waiting to get a chance to post!

Honestly, I was blown away by the Nic-Turtles! I really didn't expect to be so thrilled by them. I hope we can get the better painted versions, but even the more toyetic deco looks good on those. I'll definitely try to pick up all 4 turtles and probably a Krang/Kraang/Utrom guy.

As for the Classics, I wasn't immediately impressed (I think I'd built them up too much) but I am happy with them and will likely get all 4. I'm hoping to get at least April, Splinter, Shredder, Bebop, Rocksteady, and a Baxter-Fly. (Anything else would be icing!)

(My wallet is cringing; we're having a baby in March and I'm already "all-in" on MOTUC, but with any luck, these Classics will Peter out a bit more slowly, akin to the Thunder Cats Classics.

This was all good news on a sad day-my last of three mice, Merryweather, died today.

Nope. I like how colorful he is.

Not sure how much I like the April design. Looks more like a younger kid than a 16 year old.

The Turtles look really good though. I'm almost looking forward to the new figures more than the classic design.

billbot85 · 02-02-2012, 08:27 PM

I guess I'll be the one to say it:

I don't know how I feel about the Subway car as their new main vehicle. How do they drive it? There doesn't appear to be any kind of driver's seat or control area. I guess we'll find out in the new Tv series.

I was hoping the new vehicle could've been an SUV, truck, or another kind of van. Also, the skateboard that Mikey has looks kinda lame.

That was my first guess, but I figured as much time as the Nick folks put into making the show booth look great that they would have figured out a way to disguise the poster tack.

My second guess was that she had lived in the sewers with the turtles for so long that her boot had fallen apart and her sock had started to show through.

Yeah... probably just poster tack.

I think it's that adhesive tacky stuff to keep her standing up. It's on the Foot's feet too.

Oh...wait...Wes already said that.
Foot Fungus?

Shreddhead · 02-02-2012, 08:39 PM

I love the Utrom and robot suit! although it looks like kraang has little spider-like legs

See, now I'm going to think of that when I see April whenever we do our fan commentary ep, and suddenly I'll launch into this tangential story about feet fetishists at a fetish club and you guys will all be like

But yeah, it's poster tack. That stuff is kinda hard to disguise... though if I were designing a TMNT display I'd probably have some neon green poster tack mixed up for the thing. It's not poster tack (or socked toes)... IT'S OOZE!

Yeah... probably just poster tack.

I imagined that she stepped in an enormous wad of gum down in the sewers.

Didn't General Tragg have a busted boot in the old action figure line? I know someone did.

Nintendophile · 02-02-2012, 09:03 PM

Hey guys, not sure if this has been added anywhere, but I found a cleaner version of the Turtle Lair play-set posted over at Topless Robot. The other pics I'd been seeing were kind of "washed-out" looking. This one's nice and clear. ^_^

**Jester** · 02-02-2012, 09:14 PM

Nope. We totally missed this.
