I figured my bumping the thread would create false hope but it has been so long since the news broke that I figured something would have leaked. Some people have already seen Raphael so I thought more would have eventuated

I really hope that Nick sees the desire and intrigue for the Classics line. If this line sells well, what I am ultimately hoping for would be sets of movie Turtles, comic Turtles, etc...the Classics are going to be great, but they wouldn't have been my first choice of collectible production. Of course, I'm still buying them.

Yeah I agree

Just curious: Are you guys less enthusiastic about the new series and the figures going along with it? All I hear from you is about the classics line. Yes the classics sound cool. I'm just interested to hear about the ones for the new show. There have been figures for the classics before. There hasn't been any for the 2k12 Nick show. So I'm really looking forward to hearing about the new rather than a reissue of the old. Are you excited about the 2k12 figures, too?

*TheCanadiandrome* · 09-05-2011, 08:44 PM

Oh don't get me wrong I can't wait for the 2k12 line but more excited for the Classics line

My sentiments exactly.

*Donnie* · 09-05-2011, 08:50 PM

I'm equally as excited for both lines, just as a collector I think the Classics line might be a tad more appealing because it will be rarer than the generic 2k12 line.

*Bauer536* · 09-05-2011, 09:25 PM

Okay. That makes me relieved. I thought so.

Sorry guys. The classics line does sound cool. It's just that I have figures that kind of represent the classics already. That's why I'm really waiting for the new Nick 2k12 series line. I may like to check the classics ones, too. Just curious, though. Can you only get the classics online? Will it be the same way like ordering Ghostbusters figures online?

*Powder* · 09-05-2011, 09:47 PM

Your toys may represent the old cartoon, but they don't exactly resemble it... We definitely need these figures.
I don't think the means of purchase for the classics line has been spoken on as of this time, though. Bear in mind the folks who saw 'em, saw them in their first developmental stage. At that time there likely wasn't a gameplan set in motion at playmates yet. For now, only time will tell.

They looked great but they are too small for my taste.
I like 6 inch figures and up.

How small? Like Avengers or Young Justice small?

think the scale was 3 3/4", so similar height as Marvel Universe or GI Joe figures

*CyberCubed* · 09-06-2011, 10:28 AM

Are the classic figures that small too or only the new Nick figures?

Only the new show figures.
The classics line is geared towards adult fans so they are like most collector lines.

Man that kind of bothers me. Oh well. They still must be very detailed.

They are being worked on by the people that did the old toy line so expect greatness.

No, they're bigger than that. Somewhere between 4"-5".
