TMNT 2015 Figures - Page 26

That's actually a good idea to do with the two Baxters, provided the head scales properly.

*Powder* · 01-25-2015, 02:28 AM

They do not. Not even close. Baxter's body would have to be like 3 inches tall for it to be in scale.

Thanks, I'm so surprised they showed up in the Midwest first.

I know this isn't tmnt related, but ever since Hasbro made the hero mashers, now playmates copied them with mutant mix and match line, seems bandai america is doing something similar. Called Mix N Morph line. Just research it, f**kin crazy....sad part...I might get into this. Only if they match the same scale to hasbrah's superhero mashers.

If you're using LARP Leo for Biggs then I would use Battle Shell Leo for Dom. It's more show accurate than Basic.

So can the visor on the 2015 party wagon go down or no?

A person never needs to like something just because everyone else does.

While not buying the product may not make a big impression unless a lot of ppl do the same, providing feedback might give them more insight. If you write them and tell them that you refuse to buy them due to a noticeable drop in quality they may have to rethink their approach. Myself I buy them cause my 2 boys like them and they don't seem to notice that not everything is painted, they just like having a physical representation of that character. I notice though and it bugs me.

While many ppl on here don't feel the quality of the toys matches their $8-10 price point now, if they increased the quality but had to bump the price to stay profitable how much would be the most you would pay? For example if they were fully painted but same articulation would you pay say $12 each? I myself would.

*lonewarrior20* · 01-25-2015, 11:50 PM

well i sent them an email tonight with pictures. i hope they get back to me soon.

I would probably give up on buying the figures. I don't want to spend more per figure. Some of the Star Wars figures at Target went to $12.99.

Now I don't mind repainting and spending money that way and getting the figures on sale for the purpose of repainting them. That is fun for me. I remember when I was a kid collecting the turtle toys and I tried painting my figures with water colors to make more badguys.

I will still try it.

Emailing playmates is the biggest waste of time. I emailed them back when Razhar came out and complained that because the way he was molded he couldn't stand. The person said they would forward it to marketing that was the last I heard.

*Powder* · 01-26-2015, 02:15 AM

Yeah, they have virtually no PR/customer service aside from one woman who gives super generic/vague replies that do no real good.

nellyp · 01-26-2015, 05:49 AM

Even if the response doesn't help the person sending it I wonder if feedback is passed on to the higher ups in the company. PR reps are intentionally vague most of the time as they have to be careful what they say, but your feedback should not lie only with the person who reads the email. As with anything though volume is what gets their attention. One person letting them know isn't going to do much to change how they do things.

Found the new mystic Turtles this morning at Walmart.Bebop and rocksteady where on the new cardbacks in the same assortment as well.A few of the cardback show different figures on the back.One I didn't know was coming was Muckman.One cardback had Attila pictured on one and Nepoleon on the other.I will post photos later today.

*miru* · 01-26-2015, 08:31 AM

Karai will probably be my final purchase unless they make a human one, or get Mona Lisa/Ninjara/Venus/Alopex in the line.

i know, but i still have a right to complain damn it. who knows maybe just maybe the squeaky wheel will get greased this time. welp until more figures come out its back to collecting more from the 87 series.

Yeah, they're gonna make figures of characters that barely anyone cares about that haven't even been in the show...

F*cking furries, they all need shooting...

That seemed more like a "we need more girl figures" rather than anthropomorphs, considering miru also wants human Karai.

It was both. I might, just might, get Bebop and Rocksteady, Mondo Gecko, Muckman, and Napoleon.
