Clang's Collection

[Foot Soldier Clang]

Finally found a decent priced Leatherhead on ebay! He arrived today, and he's just as I remembered; greatly detailed, and horribly out of scale.

Leatherhead has such a great mold, and he just looks fantastic, and the paint is just so great, great weapons, but why is he so damn short! . Regardless of his obvious flaw, I still love this figure. He was one of my favorite mutants from the OT, by gumbo!

Also, I should have received a General Traag figure today (I ordered it in late January), but instead I received a complete Slash figure. That's all well and good, but I've already got a Slash figure. I hope I can get this problem fixed because I really had my heart set on that Traag figure .

Nice one i had the chance of getting a leatherhead but ended up getting april instead (trying to save those pennies for the main, basic figures first)...its a cool figure but my fave still has gotta be mona lisa
i did notice he was shorter than the others o.o probably just because he's leaning forward tho X3

[Foot Soldier Clang]

April was the first figure I bought to restart my collecting. I still don't have any turtles (aside from Slash) because I want to build up my Foot Clan and Dimension X collection figures.

[Nickokapo]

That' cool i wanted to focus mostly on animal characters but you gotta have an april could only find mikey from the 80's turtles so far, but patience is key i guess
The only female animal characters seem to be mona lisa...maybe mutatin' april...who looks kinda eerie...and um that's...it?I know its a toyline 'aimed at boys' but jeeez lol
But, fat chance i'll find those in argentina.
What i'd /Really/ like to is a Ninjara figure *looks at Neca* x3

The Mutations line might be my favorite line from the OT. I plan on getting most of the line. I already have Rocksteady, the the mutating Foot Soldier. Splinter I want to get because his mutations figure might also be the only Hamato Yoshi figure we ever get . And yeah, I want April too. My only problem with that figure are it's arms. They just look so unnecessarily bulky, but its the figure that is referencing the episode where April was mutated into a cat, so I want it . The mutating turtles are terrible though, so I won't be getting them.

I don't think the rights to Ninjara belong to whoever owns the rights to the TMNT. I think her original creator still owns her rights, so we probably will never see a figure of her unless she appears in the new cartoon or something. Its a shame, Ninjara is cool, and having a figure of her would be awesome.

"They just look so unnecessarily bulky, but its the figure that is referencing the episode where April was mutated into a cat, so I want it . "

Exactly the way i feel about it it's errr...very, um...not very ladylike, to quote strongbad but it's the only official OT catgirl april figure we're gonna see, so whatever.

You're right about ninjara the rights didn't belong to mirage (same deal with usagi, probably why 'stan sakai's written on the figures' arse )
I have many Furrlough, but none of the ones ninjara is in...cool character..

[Foot Soldier Clang]

There's always hope I guess. If the nick show takes off, they might bring in Ninjara and other archie comics characters. I wouldn't mind seeing the Mighty Mutanimals or guys like Armmagon show up. And if they all do maybe we'll even get figures

[Nickokapo]

Oh yeah nothing's set in stone...if properly redesigned i'd love to see a new ninjara or mondo gecko figure!

[Foot Soldier Clang]

So my local comic shop had this MOC Head Banger, the mad scientist surfer from Toxic Crusaders!!!

I'm a huge fan of the crusaders so I basically threw money at the people at the cash register for this thing. I already have a Head Banger figure, but this one is in far better shape, and has all the weapons, including the gimmicky glow in the dark weapon! Joy!

I know most people aren't a fan of the third film, but I like it. And if nothing else it gave us a complete toy line based off the movie. I decided to start collecting TMNTIII figures because I do like the film, the figures are pretty great, and I am a complete and utter Japanophile. So, as my second purchase for this line I got a complete, MOC, Walker, who was one of two main villains in the film. I have TMNTIII April coming in the mail, and down the line I plan on getting the complete set

[Nickokapo]

Nice!I'm more of a fan of the first 2 movies and whatnot, but i do dig the 'movie star' line of figures!For example the movie III splinter is pretty cool looking IMO...unfortunately mine got damaged recently:

Been kinda mad about this i don't suppose i could fix it.
Are you planning on getting any other movie figures? I'd like to find tokka & rahzar myself..

[Foot Soldier Clang]

Sorry to hear about your TMNTIII. Yeah I don't know how you could fix his fuzzyness. It's a real tragedy .

I plan on getting the rest of the TMNTIII line as far as the turtles are concerned. I may get the whole set just to have more humans in my collection. Tokka and Rahzar are down on my list of must-haves, but when I get them I will probably get the ones from the Mutations line.

[papa_smurf73]

I totally agree with you. I love the figures that came out of movie iii... I don't have many of them, but I'm working on it. ... Grats on your latest figure for sure.

Thanks very much! Again, I did enjoy the TMNTIII film, even with all its faults it does a lot of stuff right. I'm going to have to complete this line I think

No idea i'm now suddenly looking forward to getting another splinter tho lol, it's just kind of a shame.

That's pretty cool my list of must haves is pretty short and basic, but i figured i'd add em, metalhead and baxter stockman since they were in turtles in time and the figures are nice!I'll be getting the regular ones tho.

I actually ordered a small lot of figures recently from the Mutations Road Ready line, one of which is a Road Ready Splinter who turns into the turtles Party Wagon! Such a weird figure. You'd think Mikey or Don would turn into the van It should be arriving by Wednesday and I can't wait to show everyone.

I keep bidding and losing on Metal Head figures! He's such a tough figure to get with weapons .

[mysterycolor]

cool collection- sorry to see your movie star splinter has some damage- the movie 3 splinter is not fuzzy so you wont have to worry about him suffering the same fate

[Nickokapo]

Darn i've seen metalhead in my country's auction site, with no accesories, for $16 usd minus shipping, but i'd rather focus on getting a decent shredder first

As for weapons, i only have 80's casey's bat that's the one thing i'll be planning on ordering from ebay...sai, katanas, chucks, bo staff, and so on...

Thanks mysterycolor...looks like the one i have is 'movie star' splinter...kind of a difficult thing to fix, the fur i'll just pretend it's a liver spot

I didn't know TMNTIII Splinter came in a non-fuzzy form. I'll have to look for it!

Finding a decent OT Shredder is a tough job indeed. Other lines had great Shredders (2k3, TMNT CGI movie, TMNT:NM), but the OT Shredder always looked ... wrong. Part of the reason I decided I needed the Mutations Road Ready Shredder was because it was like the original OT Shredder figure, but without the crazy legs. He can actually stand up right! And I hear you can remove his cape/Mutant Module-altmode and he's basically the best we have to a good OT Shredder.

Metal Head is around that price here too, but I keep getting outbid. I try to stay in a budget of $10 per figure, with free shipping. If the price goes past that, I stop bidding

Yeah, i may have to get 2k3 Shredder or good ol' shorty super shredder, for the time being, 88' OT Shredder looks a bit off and i've heard from different people is hard to stand up...also many of the ones in mercadolibre seem to be missing parts of his trademark armor...mutatin shredder looks pretty accurate, tho!Congrats on that one i can't find it here unfortunately, just 'toon shredder' & 'slice 'n' dice shredder'

Yeah, luckily i've been able to get most of my loose figures for a very decent price...!My personal limit is 30-40 ARS, so just about 9-10 USD too...maybe up to 15 if it's an oddity but usually not.
