Playmates Toys Future Looks Bright! Now w/ Release Date! - Page 35

The photo of the playset are hard to see.I am very happy to see images for these figures.The do look good.

*Chris* · 02-01-2012, 04:32 PM

Just got the videos to load, man they were slow (or I was impatient).

Yeah, the Classics are definately NOT 10-11". I've got enough 12" stuff to know how big they look next to someone and the Classics were no where near. Which is good because at 10-11" I would have given them a miss. Nice to know more Classics will come if these sell well (both OT supporting cast and other versions of the TMNT).

Very disappointed with the paint aps on display compared to the first pictures. Yeah I know the prototypes always look better, but if you're not going to have any type of wash on the final figure don't put one of the promo figures. That said, it's not a deal breaker, the figures still look great and strangely I still find myself more excited by the Nick line than the Classics line.

That playset is fantastic! 42" high, more than 20 features over 3 levels, fits 50 figures! I am so getting my nephew into this show so I have an excuse to buy one and play with it! He's just found my original figures in dad's loft and loves them so this show has come at a perfect time for him.

How old is he?

*Raph's Girl* · 02-01-2012, 04:44 PM

New Storage shell figs....huh.... So of the Nick line I'll get the Don to put next to my original Storage Shell Don. *lol*

But dangit... TRU exclusives?! The closest TRU is just so far away.... *sighs*....

twopinacoladas · 02-01-2012, 04:44 PM

Those figures look awesome, I think I like them at first glance even more than the NECAs....

tipet · 02-01-2012, 04:45 PM

I'm very excited about the figures. The playset is awesome but the vehicles could be better in my opinion except for the train. I have good vibrations about the new serie and it will be supported by a great toy line. The TMNT future seems brighter.

Just turned 4 so he'll probably be 5 when this airs in the UK (that's being generous and assuming we get it early Spring next year).

Not actually seen him since Christmas. After hearing that he found and loved all my old OT stuff, I've decided to give him my spare MOC 2K3 Turtles. I'm not really a MOC collector, I'd planned to try and customise them with the Season 5 mystic markings but never got round to it. I figure he'll get more happiness from playing with them than I will keeping them in the loft. Plus it'll help make a new TMNT fan

There's no way these are 6"... take a look at dude's fist and compare it to the figures on the stand..... just sayin'

*Raph's Girl* · 02-01-2012, 04:59 PM

Ok. I watched those videos. Splinter was shown.... Well... at least he doesn't look like a dog this time... no...he looks like a badger!!! WTF?! I've never seen rats with those markings!!

Thank you!!!!!! I said the exact same thing.

*Raph's Girl* · 02-01-2012, 05:23 PM

April's kinda cute in the little kid sort of way. At least she's wearing yellow (is the 5 on her shirt cuz she's the "5th Turtle"?

)

Krang (or is it Kraang?) looks cool

Shredder looks a bit off somehow

*CyberCubed* · 02-01-2012, 05:26 PM

Why did the guy from Playmates call him "Krang, the other head bad guy," rather than, "The Kraang?"

Will we be seeing "The" Krang in the show as well since IDW is using him?

turtles_kolektor · 02-01-2012, 05:33 PM

Besides Splinter and vehicles everything else is amazing!
I so want to buy them! (also i still think that 3 fingers are weird...)

^ absolutely agree... that sewer is FABULOUS!!!

*Ninjinister* · 02-01-2012, 05:46 PM

I seriously can't remember the last time I was this excited about toys.

Bravo, Playmates.

You and me both, bro!

Now let's just hope that "Classic Line" doesn't fall through!

rufus · 02-01-2012, 05:49 PM

Hope the classics line will do well enough for some Jim Henson TMNT 1990 based figures.

absolutely! i am so excited to see what could happen with the classics line... must be the "sewer head" in me

rav4ge · 02-01-2012, 05:54 PM

I'm really liking how these turned out! The attention to detail really adds a lot to the figures. I was concerned from the early TV art that the translation from show to figures would leave them looking flat and rather bland, but these look great.

I'll probably be going for Leo or Raph come release. Raph is my favorite turtle, but my favorite here is definitely Leo - his color scheme just looks the best.

You pretty much just said what I was thinking when I looked at this figure. I must admit I am mildly disappointed but assume Splinter's new look will grow on me. Still you are very correct he doesn't look like a rat at all.
