Playmates Toys Future Looks Bright! Now w/ Release Date!

[Candy Kappa]

Foot Soldier variants are more welcoming then the usual turtle variants playmates have had.

[Boy Wonder]

I was about to say that, I'm excited not only for the prospect of getting regular purple Foot Soldiers, but getting some different colored ones like from the arcade games would be so freakin sweet!

[JaffleMan]

Bring on the banana coloured Foot Clan!!



Lol how many people would actually buy these? I can't say I'd be first off the mark to add a yellow foot to my collection. :p

I don't usually army build, but I'd be down for a rainbow of Foot Soldiers.

Sharing another write up I did on Cowabunga Corner about the toys. I think I got one more to do.

That was cool getting to see what Peter had to say, I haven't been able to check his blogs this week because of a lot of running and writing I've been doing.

I totally agree with him about the playsets that have come out.

Haha, I don't know, maybe. What's your sig picture from man? I love that coloring on Mikey, I've seen it before on random Turtles toy packing art - was that the Turtle van art or something?

Spoiler:

Can anyone confirm if those sweet sewer lid bases will come with the figures? Or is that just for display purposes at the show? Notice how it has each turtles name individually on the lid. Those are really cool and I hope in fact we do get those with the figures.

Just why the heck did you make Leo's teeth red?

I'm with ya on that one. Perhaps a improved version of the Party Wagon with a dash, steering wheel, and all the Donatello computer tracking gear in the back this time?

Also, opening driver and passenger doors, and opening rear doors. Now THAT would be a collector's edition.

I'm pretty sure they will come with them.

I wonder how much all of that will cost.

Where can I find Laird's comments about the toys? I want to read them in full!

And yeah, do we have any idea about price? I remember someone saying way back when that the new series figs would be $5.99... but I'd be VERY surprised if Playmates got them out at that price now. On the other hand, with the (mostly) more articulated GI Joe and Thundercats figures going for $7, I guess it's doable.

Ask away!

All you did was link to your single post, man. He wants Lairds blog comment about it, methinks.

I asked him in a 4kids blog post...that's all I he's said.

I don't understand why I can't express any criticism without being jumped at "you overhyped yourself!" or "you people can never be pleased". I am one who enjoy The Next Mutation, I always look at things from the positive side, I can't help but feel disappointed that these figures are not OT accurate. They are still awesome and I will get them but they aren't OT accurate and have plenty of things I can criticize and not like.

Would Wave 2 indeed be villains only [Krang/Shredder/Rocksteady/Beebop]? Seems a bit risky, for a toy company to take, Splinter/April/Shredder/Krang seems more likely with Rockstead/beebop in a third wave. I can see Casey Jones/Slash/Baxter Stockman in future waves but I don't think we'll get too far in an OT line sadly. For other universes I do think it's likely we'll get Movie 1 turtles, Mirage turtles and even 2k3 "accurate" turtles and even new show "collector" turtles.. Personally I'd love to see variants of the Wave 1, you know, slightly different head sculpt to be more toon accurate. But most of all what I'd love to see is a original toyline inspired turtles, that is all I ask for, that would make me so happy.

Thanks, Jester! I'd figured it was on his TMNT blog... but I was just looking at the posts and not the comments, so I totally missed it among those weird and lengthy script reviews.

And yeah, sdp, what the heck's wrong with you? Next thing you know, you'll be demanding Wingnut and Armaggon and War in Wave 3 OR YOU'RE QUITTING THE LINE FOREVER. Some people are NEVER satisfied.

You know what I want -- nay, DEMAND? Swappable two-toed calves/feet for the new figures so I can pretend they're some form of classic TMNTs. OTHERWISE, DO NOT WANT.

Pizza Power game. Most of the pictures on the game have the turtles with different flesh tones but Mike is the most different. Just like all the new TMNt figures we are getting. :p
