Rise of the TMNT toy speculation/discussion/announcement thread - Page 18

Oooh, I'm excited for Albearto! One of my fave episodes so far so he's a must have!

Thanks for sharing, DVD!

The Target over here has ALL of its TMNT toys on sale all of a sudden. I was wondering if that's going on anywhere else? I was at Wal-Mart on Monday and their stuff was regular price. Not sure if it's a Target thing, or a regional thing, or what.

The lair, in particular, is on sale for like $105, I think, from $130. Still not low enough for me to jump on, but they did sell one of the two they've had sitting there. Once it goes under $100 I might have to splurge. I keep thinking how nice it'll look with a repaint and all my older TMNT figures displayed on it. I have no room for it, but whatever, I have no room for anything.

Anyway, might wanna check Target, if you're looking for stuff. I'm curious if it's a thing all Targets are doing, or just this one.

My target has them on sale as well. Someone a couple pages ago mentioned that too.

Ah okay, must've missed that, thanks.

Late to the party with the SDCC box sets of the Turtles. Better late than never though.

I actually forgot about these guys, until I was offered a set today.
Should have them on Monday, along with a set of 10 3cm static figures.

They look alright. And according to the back Albearto is going to join Draxum’s forces, right? Or is this just a repeat of the situation with the last line and it’s inability to comprehend some villains aren’t on a faction?

*DVD* · 11-04-2018, 10:25 PM

In truth, I think the SDCC set I got, is more likely from the new batch created for the fan club.
Still, they are actually a really nice set. Got to figure out how best to present them when I get home.
The lil figures are really well detailed for such tiny toys. Not sure if I’ll actuall display these, or just file them away for now.

*DVD* · 11-05-2018, 01:55 AM

The new collection continues to, rise !!

I think I like the toys better that the 2012s. These are all (so far) pretty interesting and reasonably well put together: and each had a lot of articulation.

*go_ninja84* · 11-05-2018, 06:49 AM

i like your display for the SDCC set. i may have to try that

*DVD* · 11-05-2018, 03:37 PM

I used the plastic outer trays.
After opening them, I slip the tray back over. Then I fed the open flap from the right hand box into the back out the outer tray of the left hand figure. Helps to balance the load.

super curry max · 11-05-2018, 09:07 PM

Dvd what is that thing raph and mikey are standing on/ inside of.

super curry max · 11-05-2018, 09:18 PM

For 15 dollars on the membership page you get all 4 turtles figures? Am i reading that right?

*DVD* · 11-06-2018, 12:08 AM

The Turtles are standing inside a CO Doctor Who TARDIS playset.
And, yeah. $15 gets you all four of the SDCC Turtles.
Seems like an incredible deal .

So overall ... is it too early to gauge if this line has been successful at all? Every time I go to a store all the figures are collecting dust on shelves.

I think seeing how they perform over the holiday shopping season will be a fair gauge.

For the 2012 series, EVERY figure on the shelves would sell during the first few holiday seasons in my area.

I think it is a little to early in my opinion. Don’t all toys move well during Holidays? I’m not sure if that is a good measurement of the current lines success.

It’s probably doing decent I imagine. The line does have a corporate machine backing it. From what I have observed negatively is fading and the current TMNT is finding it’s audience. But that’s only my perspective.

I would like to see a numbers comparison with current and past TMNT waves.

Has anyone opened the 4-Pack bundle? Mine just arrived and I was expecting a set of carded basic figures but the box is way too small. I bought it from Target but I could only find this image from Walmart.

Spoiler:

*Ninjinister* · 11-09-2018, 06:15 PM

Only one store in my area even has the figures so far.
