2016 Movie Toys

[darthwahl56]

You know even with the glasses for Don I still think I like the first movies' 11 inch figures a bit more, although Leo is pretty good either way. The new Mikey looks more like a bullfrog than a turtle. I like how the first one looks more like he is ready to go surfing.

Bebop and Rocksteady are nice additions to this big size line and I will be picking them up.

Real talk... the 2014 11" figure turtles look better, each and every one. More paint apps, more sculpted details... looks simply better.

Bummer.

Mikey's face literally looks like it's melting. 2016 Leo's body looks so badly proportioned.

Bebop and Rocksteady look great! I'm very impressed with the detail and paint on these figures. Hoping the basic line has similar traits! If so, B&R are must haves. I am strongly considering the 11" baddies too after seeing them but probably will hold off on the others.

See SEEE SEEE!!???

I do not know why some people want to knock stuff.
I see where Zulithe is coming from, and the comments are valid on the photos posted.
This set is different to the previous set. To be otherwise would have been foolish.
Having both sets in hand, I can state that paint apps and detailing are on par. Liking one set over the other is subjective.
Personally, I can not say that I have a preference. This to me, is another cool set of 1:6 (near as) Turtles to add to the other sets I have. I have been reluctant to get the DX Space suit Turtles and the Head Droppers as they are not complete sets.
For a while there I was sans Don in the interactive talking set - He fell off the shelf and the right arm snapped off. I had to have the shoulder joint rebuilt. The 'set' just looked wrong during Don's 'down time'. Happy to say that the operation was a success and Don is communicating effectively with his brothers

Anyways, I think when these hit shelves, people who have the first set may pass on the Turtles and get BB n RS, whilst others might get the whole lot.

They do make for a pretty impressive shelf display.

I will leave personal choice to others.
I hope to return after the weekend with Technodrome news and reviews. I can say that in the email I received, I was told to expect a huge Turtle ball !!! IMy guy was being cryptic of course - just not cryptic enough !!

Powder seems to do that but he means well. I wouldn't take it personally. I may not always contribute gems to a conversation but so far I have been lucky enough to not post something so out there that Powder questioned my mental faculties or senses. Its something I strive for.

That said, the new stuff looks more toy like and less like statues so there are definitely differences. The new stuff looks more like something a kid would play with down on the floor while the last movie figures looked like something kept on a shelf. If I got these new ones for my kids I could see them getting a lot of play out of them, then leaving them on the floor, then me tripping on them in the dark, then me saying words I shouldn't..man my kids need to be more responsible. They get that from their mother.

Who? I was contributing to conversation with my opinion on the new toys.

I did. So what?

[Powder]

So nellyp is talking about his own children & Shedder finds it amusing. Contrary to your best efforts, the forum does not revolve around you.

[DVD]

I took my 5 sets of 11" Turtles and displayed them all, in sets on my Doctor Who DVD shelves.
I decided to put BB n RS along side Shredder with the first set of Turtles.
Just seemed to work for one reason or another.

Here's a quick shot of the first movie set. These guys had fixed arms and legs with wrist swivels .

It's on it's way. That's all I know for now.
