they should make a Baxter figure. His role in the show was important.

they are making silver sentry and dr malignus and they were on the show once. so why no baxter stockman figure???????

Wow, thats great!!! The ones I'm most looking forward to are

-The three Shredder clones
-Leatherhead
-Young Turtles
-Fugitoid
-The two Triceratons
-Usagi Yojimbo

And whats up with the "Evil Turtlebot" I guess he must be a new character. If Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla has taught us anything its that robotic clones of the heros are always cool!

The only gripe I have is that Baxter isn't on there, I was really hoping for a big figure of Baxter-Bot. But remember guys: if a bunch of people outcry for a Baxter figure on the web then I'm sure Playmates will be more then happy to oblige.

How exactly do you figure his original form sucks? Because it's not exciting? It doesn't suck any more than April's. All they'd have to do is give him some nice accessories, put him in an interesting or dynamic pose, and give him an interesting, maniacal facial expression.

I totally agree I'm really surprised they got a silver sentry figure, and even worse a dr. malignus, Nanobot and the Element Foot Ninja, (all might I add one shots) and no Baxter, ridiculous. He shoulda came out in the third wave with April Hun and Casey. No reason whatsoever for him to be exlcuded. Personally I always liked the guy, he's my favorite villian in the new toon.

true enough.

But considering him being as exciting as April.....I bet that April is playmates lowest selling figure right now too out of the whole line. Theyre making figures for kids.....where of course most TMNT fans ect...would easily buy a Baxter.....Most kids would just look at him next to any other figure on the self and pass him up.

I'm gunna get really ticked off if the Mystic foot all use the same mold but diffrent colors
I won't say I'm in love with all these figures, most just havn't dane anything for me (aside from wave 1), but the chance of getting a decend Leather head figure has me hopeful of the line

I am also shocked there is no talk of Baxter. As soon as I saw his Cyborg Suit in the show I thought of what an awesome toy that would be. It could be a 12" deluxe figure.

Amen to that, bro. Baxter is one of the figures I most want to see. I'm hoping that they'll do a deluxe version in which the regular Stockman figure can be placed inside his cyborg body. What self-respecting Turtle fan WOULDN'T want that? Besides that, robot-type toys are pretty friggin' popular with kids right now. In other words, the damn thing would sell.

As for the remainder of the list, I hope to God it's legit. I am an admitted "non-completist, picky collector", and I want every figure on that list.

Aw, I was hoping for some announcement on the 3" figures.

But this list does sound nice. Should it be true, that is.

Well, you have to consider that there's no mention of any vehicles/playsets and whatnot on that list, whatsoever. And I'd certainly consider Baxter's Exo-Suit to fit the credentials of a vehicle-type toy, as opposed to just a regular figure [of which make up the majority of this list]. So there's hope yet. ^^

Besides, should none of what I said above come-to-pass, I dare say that Stockman will get what he deserves in the upcoming video game. After-all, Konami would be insane to not include the Exo-Suit as a major boss.

You read my mind. Maybe if we ask nicely, the individual who e-mailed Playmates concerning the regular figures, and got this list in response, would be considerate enough to e-mail them again, this time asking about the various other toys.

It's not that I'm being lazy, or anything, because I have tried e-mailing them before, and let's just say that the results I recieved weren't half as good as this. Although, I did receive a decent response... just nothing to this extent.

Also the armor turtles. are they comming out more towards the begining of the year/end of this year?

I just hope we get to see the sculpts for these toys soon.
There's also no new Mini's, Mutating, or any 12" figures, or vehicles...I assume this is just for the basic figure line. I'm also holding out for a $20-range deluxe Robotic Baxter.

The armor turtles, actually, should be out within a month, along with the Foot Gunner, Saki, and Elite Guard not long after (who were also missing from the list). The official site has about another month in their marathon weekly toy-posting, so hopefully we'll get pics of 4 new sculpts. And then ToyFair is in February.

Some sculpts will probably be guarded until the new season. I would expect to see prototypes of the Guardian, baby Turtles, Giant Mouser (and the rest of the game figures), and maybe the four elemental Mystics before too awful long. The rest may have to wait until February.
huh? saki? is there a pic of him I musta missed him. And elite guard, when are they coming out?

I believe that the elite gaurd and Saki are coming out in 2003 or early 2004. This list starts in april 2004. That explains it.
E-Money?Is there any possibility that you can ask your friend to please e-mail playmates to find out about the minifigs and the vehicles and what not? Thanks. Wow ur friend musta done something to get on their good side. way to go!

The Foot Gunner, Foot Elite, Shredder with removable mask, and Armor Turtles will be out before Christmas. That's why they aren't on the list.
