This statue looks a lot like the Prime 1 statue but smaller with less detail and lower quality paint job. Still looks sweet though. Hmmm, I wonder.

figure stands 6.5 inches tall atop a detailed street scene display base, complete with sewer entrance, and spans over 7 inches wide and nearly 5 inches deep

The value I guess would depend on what it's made of and what the actual paint apps look like... If it's vinyl - hells no. If it's resin or something heavy like that and paint apps looks decent, it will be 'worth it'.

Well that would be awesome if other figures did end up sold in sets by other retailers.

My guess would be vinyl akin to the Assassin's Creed and Batman: Arkham City video game collector's edition.

Those types of figure/statues are usually ballpark $50-$75 like the Kotobukiya figures.

I don't see resin or polystone likely for a DVD release, though I suppose they did do so with Lord of the Rings. Just not sure Paramount will invest that sort of additional money.

Just skip that and go straight digital! I have a WD LIVE box and I swear by it. The only physical media I buy now are 3D BDs.

I have a few polystone things from various releases. I have an Optimus bust as well as a helm from 300. But those are on the smaller size. Vinyl would be a little more reasonable for something as bulky as Raph. I can see a slight bend in his Sai now that I take a closer look as well. Hopefully that's not an issue!

For people who loved the movie, I would highly recommend holding off on this. Just be patient and keep your eyes on sources like Sideshow or Hot Toys. Granted, you can always pre-order and cancel if maquettes are announced.

For me, nothing will ever match the Sideshow statue line, but I could see a release of the turtles and perhaps Shredder maquettes from the movie.

They'll be more expensive if they happen, but I'd consider it $50 far more well invested in maquettes.

Of course, if the film underperforms, then I doubt they'll invest the funds to produce maquettes, in which case this is your best statue option.

I guess the hot new trend is to release deluxe editions of your movies with trophies and statues. At least the Raphael statue is better than buying your own personal bust of Electro's head.

*GROOOAAAN*

No, it says "Amazon exclusive figure"

Which might mean "Buy the Wal-Mart edition for Leonardo!" "Buy the Target edition for Donatello!"

Yeah, you'll get 4 copies of the movie to buy them all, but do it! DOOO IIIIT!

Not a guarantee, but there's been a lot of milking of retail-exclusive "special editions" in the past couple of years. Granted, this would be better as it's the statue. The ones I've seen were extra features and behind the scenes exclusive to each different retailer.

No thanks. I've got the Sideshow statues of the classic look. Not shelling out $80 for this movie and a single statue.
Purdy sure the guy you quoted is right. There was a online contest on Facebook that said "Name your fav turtle" and whoever gets named the most gets the exclusive statue for amazon. I think they could only make one. So they went with the contest. Otherwise what is the point if all of them are gonna be available.

I was surprised that Raphael outnumbered all of the turtles. Nice to know that there are a lot more Raphael fans than I previously thought.

Should we pre-order this with Next Day Shipping or just the default? since it doesnt come out til its release and normally, They send them right away and you would usually get them on the day of release I think.

Holy crap! ALREADY? It's literally only opening weekend for this movie! o_o

I like the statue and I might get it in hopes of a lot of extras...but I'm not 100% yet. I don't know that I love it enough to own it immediately.

I want this badly, but I'd rather have Mikey or Leo, or even Donnie depending on how they all look. Raph was the best character in the movie, but he looks the worst to me.

This looks like a very possible buy for me for the new movie release. Raph's my favorite so it does seem pretty likely that I'll get this. Especially since the Prime 1 Studious 1/4 scale statue will probably cost a whole lot of money and this Raph is in the same pose anyway. Very nice to see this so soon for the Blu-Ray release.
