You know part of me wishes they would have stagered things a bit. Did the classic line wave 1, then 2k12 wave 1, classic wave 2, 2k12 wave 2, exe... I mean that way I wouldn't be going broke trying to get these.

Wait....Kraang only has "big 5" articulation? That sucks.

That's Playmates for you. Highly articulated Turtles, and everyone else barely has any joints.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 07-08-2012, 09:29 PM

So here is what I have right now and how I have them set up. Pictures aren't that great but I made do with what I had.

**Jester** · 07-08-2012, 09:33 PM

What kind of articulation does the Foot have?

*Cowabunga Carl* · 07-08-2012, 09:38 PM

He has shoulder, head, elbows rotate, and hips move. Not much really. The articulation on these figures is pretty poor all around, but the molds and details make up for it. At least for me.

Yep, and the dreaded 'arch-foot' that makes standing him really hard. Almost like vintage Chromedome if anyone gets what I mean. >_>

Just PM him. He works again on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, I SHOULD be getting my Classics Donatello, Nick Leo, and Foot Soldier today in the mail.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 07-09-2012, 09:01 AM

Where did you order your classic figure at DonatelloFan? I have seen the Nick figures around here but no classics.

I got it off of eBay. A few days before the figures started showing up in stores anywhere, I bought a Classics Don, Nick Leo, Shredder, and Foot Soldier on eBay. I can't wait to get the Foot Soldier and Classic Don today. I really want to see what the posing is like with the Classics.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 07-09-2012, 09:35 AM

I want the classic line to do well so we get more and maybe start seeing them branch out into Comic characters. I'd love an Old Hob figure.

The completest in me can't stand not having a Shredder right now. So even though I don't have the money for it, I'm hitting the pavement trying to find him.

I should have at least one or two more reviews up later today I hope.

I've been thinking about this lately too. I'd love to see a whole line of classics/retro figures made! Shredder would be awesome!

Spoiler:

I'll tell you, we need to have a thread on here somewhere that gives tips on taking pictures of action figures. I can't do it for s***. Good job on your photo, though. Very nice.

Timmetry · 07-09-2012, 11:03 AM

Old Hob,

I read through your review of Raph and I don't know if your joints are stuck or you simply didn't think to mention it, but the elbow and knee joints swivel in addition to bending. It's a minor thing, but adds loads to posing possibilities.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 07-09-2012, 11:23 AM

Mine were just supper tight. Nice catch though and thanks for pointing that out.

And I now have all of wave 1! I found Shredder. So excited.
