Good to hear. I'm getting kinda tired of all this hunting things down. Makes me feel pathetic when I come up empty handed after driving all across town.

Other stores will get them eventually. Walmart will get them first.

Decided to give Playmates Comic Leo a try. Playmates tried to sculpt in the shading/ink lines, but it doesn't really give it a very "pencil drawn" appearance like Neca. They look more like scars for the most part. They also cut corners and decided wrists and holsters weren't important.

Since these are based off the original comic book turtles, everyone wears red masks and only difference between each turtle is their facial expression. Leo looks like he sucked on a lemon too long. Hand sculpts might be different too. So if you were really cheap you could just buy one and just use different weapons to pretend it's a different turtle.

Overall, it's not bad, but it I feel like it leaves a bit to be desired. Only get this if you don't care for articulation, getting a neca bootleg, super love tmnt , or you were gonna just buy and display NRFB.

Thanks for sharing the review, but I gotta say....it's driving me nuts about how people are giving playmates a pass on such a poor effort. They're constantly being compared to the neca version, saying stuff like "the neca version has way more articulation, making them more expensive, so it's okay that they skimped out on these".
That's such a cop out! Playmates first 2012 versions had plenty of articulation and might I add, at the same price! They really could have added different body sculpts, and better paint aps. And if they just couldn't do that, they at least could have given the damn things wrist articulation!
Yeah sure, I got some, and will get them all. But that's only because I'll repaint em and make me into what they should have been. I just don't expect everybody else to have to do the same. It's just a money rake, and it's pissing me off!!!!

They could have made turtle figures similar to the ones they originally wanted to release during the 25th anniversary for variety, maybe even update the articulation.

Gotta throw thus in here...

Hmmm. Seeing the comic turtles review has convinced me that I should start saving up money n pray other toy coys pick up the slack for playmates.

Luigiperps · 10-07-2014, 06:20 AM

Can you confirm if he is just a battles hell mikey with add ons?

*DVD* · 10-07-2014, 07:24 AM

Not a battle shell.
Resulted body. Shell reworked to include a clip on pair of wings.

Thats good. Is the back of the wings painted or is it a sticker?

Looks great!
I'm so glad we got a couple of really nice figures this time around and with Baxter Fly, Turflytle, Bebop, and Rocksteady coming... it's just a great time. I don't care what people say about Playmates, I really have enjoyed what they do/did from the beginning to now. I can't imagine another company with the property.
