is the utrom squishy?
Would be nice if they painted Android Krang's visor.
And check out that derpy eyes on utrom.

Not sure how i feel about shredder...

Foot Soldier look like it took a turn for the worse, from GI Joe with tons of accessories to generic black ninja with a sword.

Yes, squishy.
I thought that these guys felt pretty small, then I compared these latest incarnations of BB n RS with their original selves.

I think that the figures more than stand up to the figures from the 80s, and are actually better.

I got all 10 of the retro figures here. Actually, I get all my stuff here.

And I agree with the above comment. The only thing in the new Shredder's favor is he is better articulated.

Lanky, yes, but taller, no.
These plus Casey are quite thin and more realistically proportioned.

Rocksteady HAS A SLEDGEHAMMER!!!???

Okay, if Rocksteady actually fights with a sledgehammer in this movie, I will have to give Michael Bay more credit than I previously believed he's worth.

I mean, it'll be like 3 cents worth of credit, but it's more than he would've previously had from me...

The removable skates for Casey is nice. All in all these figures are pretty nice. Can't wait for the end of April (the month, not the character).

Or both !!!!! 😄

Yeah, the range is pretty good. I had some fun this morning messin around with displays. The figures all carry a fair amount of articulation. The foot even has articulated , feet ! True...
I'm still waiting for the 4 bikes. Mostly for the alternative Bebop. Not sure is RS is different. And there's the action feature figures. I hope thet are not over sized like the last movie set were.

I'm glad so many people like them... but wow they look downright awful in those pics.

And don't hold a candle to other modern toys.. or even the Classic TMNT stuff.
