New TMNT series 2 Figs are pimp - Page 2

I think it's genious that they'd put mousers with April. Either that or they'd shortpackage her,and I'd rather have mousers than have a hard time finding April!

The mousers should be to scale,unlike the single packaged vintage one.

Ya, I'm glad they're putting the Mousers with April. Her accessories will be much better than the older April figs.

Yeah, it is a kick-ass idea. Now all they need to do is give Baxter Stockman 2 Mousers, & make a Mouser 3-or-4 pack & we can load up on the little buggers.

Oh, & they better have spring-powered snappin' jaws- it's just a given for the little buggers.

::nods:: Very true. I hope this new figure can actually hold here accesories though unlike the old figure which couldn't that well.

Hopefully they'll have Tomart's at the comic store I'm hitting today, provided the snow lets up.

Maybe they'll have mouths like the new MOTU Trapjaw!

That'd rock & would make sense as they could "bite" the turtle figures, or any other figure they could fit their little metal jaws around.

Oh, not to get off context, but do any of you think that this Rocksteady figure would fit well with the new toyline?:

Like, maybe as a more bad-ass version of his former, goofy self? Could you see this Rocksteady beating the snot out of the turtles instead of vice versa?

Snail, that's pretty damn cool, but I don't like the greenish skin that he has. Where is that pciture from? Did you customize it yourself?

Neither do I. It makes it hard to tell if he's waring, or not waring pants.

But it is pretty damn cool looking none the less.

Nope, he's not my handwork- I'm not that good.

It's from the "TMNT Supermutants" sub-line of figures that came out in 94'. I think the molds were imported from a Japanese TMNT figureline called "Super Mutations" or something to that effect. They made Supermutant Raph, Leo, Mike, Don, Splinter, Shredder, Bebop & Rocksteady in the toyline & stopped after that. Go to ninjaturtles.com & check the 1994 section in "Toys". There should be listings for Supermutant figures.

After seeing the figures there I was wondering if these figures could play with the newer TMNT figures & not really feel out of place due to size or a very cartoonish appearence. The Rocksteady figure litterally looks like he's just waiting to rip the turtles several new ones. I'd buy the figure if I knew where to get it & if I knew how tall it was & what it's articulation is like. I'm guessing the same as the newer figures, except that it's elbows bend instead of swivel.

Oh, here's what Bebop looks like, it's a little blurry as he's MOC but I think you can make him out:

I'd really like to have these two figures posed with my new other figures on my dresser. Just pose 'em in the thick of a huge scurmish between the TMNT & some foot ninjas.

Man, I'm really gonna have to get to the comic shop tomorrow. TMNT #8 and Tomart's Guide are calling my name.

*Bry* · 02-09-2003, 08:52 AM

Me too. Although I haven't seen Tomart's in the stores yet, so I'm wondering when it's exact release date is. I hope the stores didn't sell out of 'em already, Planet Comics only had 2 copies of issue #98!

I know, right? We found about that a few new figures were in the mag, but everytime someone says they are gonna put up pictures they just kinda *pop*- and they never come back. It's like ninjas are takin' them out so they reveal no more secrets until next Sunday. AHHHH! ONE week left until Toy Fair! This time, next sunday all will be revealed- I hope.

I'm not sure what MotU figures Mattel will have on display, but I am alot more excited as to what new TMNT figures/vehicles/playsets we will see.

Oh, Bry_Katz: how do you use the Emoticons that you used? When I click on the "view more Emoticons" link, I see more of them, but can't get the text to type into my posts.

How'd you did it?

You should be able to get them just by clicking on the emoticon you want.

is a huge badass figure and he is really big! They also showed what the nanotech monster will look like in the new cartoon and he is a machine w/ many scream looking like faces that rotate on his face. It also showed what the foot razor jet will look like, and it said the 3rd wave will have the extreme sport turtles( which will probably look like they do in the intro) the nanotech monster, and the foot tech ninja which said are supposed to turn invisible. Hun, Casey, and April all looked great even w/o their paint these will be great figures.

Casey& april sound good but who is hun? Is he the big guy we saw in the intro (which I asume is the 2nd in command/teacher of the PD clan? & OH god no!! Sports action whatyamcall em allready arhg!

all I ask is dear god why!

Oh well, maybe we can get some trippy space suit figures & trek figures in the new enterprise look

**azure turtle** · 02-09-2003, 07:48 PM

Yep, Hun is that giant dude in the intro. Can't wait to see him fight the Turtles!

Really? ::tries it::

There we go. I just didn't open the link in a new window, then it let me see what to type when moving the mouse over it. Thanks Kali!

Well, it might not be all bad. Maybe the Donatello figure will be able to stand up without the aid of a 2nd Bo staff?

Or if they have removable sports equipment, we could be getting 4 brand new sculpts of the turtles & that'd be pretty cool.

But yeah, it does seem a bit soon for them, but keep in mind they aren't coming out until like, the summer or something. The old line didn't have those types of figures until 1990 or so- as far as I can remember. Times change, & I guess they have to start with the variants early these days?

Trippy space suit figures would be possiblt, but new Trek figures are probably a no-go. I was under the impression that the only reason there were Star Trek TMNT figures, was because Playmates had the liscense to all Star Trek figures a few years back. Now that liscense has been granted to Art Asylum & that means only they can make Star Trek toys (as far as I know).

They should have a "Peter Laird toy idea" sub-line & just make all of the figure/toy stuff he drew on his "Blast from the Past" website into figures. That'd be awesome, & probably cooler then extreme sports turtles.
