but yeah, they are great figures

*DVD* · 07-26-2014, 12:32 AM

Sorry. I did look around, but obviously not hard enough.
I think these two do look good at this stage. Painted up properly ( I know, it's playmates!!, these could be the best yet in this range.

Rukitron · 07-26-2014, 12:36 AM

I seriously hope they're improving QC because I'm gonna have to buy multiples til I land a perfect one ugh.

*DVD* · 07-26-2014, 12:41 AM

So far out of the first 10, only OC Donatello's eyes are, funny. They kind of look the wrong way. Other than that, the rest are fine.

So are the 1990 movie Turtles out yet?

Re: Shredder and Krang

They look good. And it's great to see the line continuing, but ... I really wish Playmates would take the time to think about what they're doing and who intended market for these figures is.

They're both small. And it's not just that they're the same height as the turtles, but Shredder is significantly thinner than the turtles. Sure, he doesn't live on a diet of pizza, but I'd still like his proportions to be a little closer to the turtles. Shredder's lead (with a large helmet on) appears to be half the size of the turtles heads.

Shredder has two closed fists! I can't be the only person who wants Shredder to at least have the ability to hold a weapon when he battles the turtles. Why would they give him two closed fists.

And the articulation. When will Playmates learn? Both Shredder and Krang have foot articulation to move their toes, but neither appears to have bicep swivels which would greatly enhance the poseability of their arms! And they both appear to have double knees, but no thigh swivels which limits their leg movement. I guess the swivels could be added later, but these proto-types seem to have all the other "swivel" POA (e.g. Shredder's torso and Krang's waist).

Anyway, I'll be buying them. I really wish Playmates would ramp up the production and release of these figures though. How many more years is it going to be before we see Splinter, April, Casey and a Foot Soldier? Not to mention Tokka, Rahzar, Baxter Stockman, Slash, etc.

are B&R supposed to be released or re released, if you want to call it that, with the movie turtles wave also??

This exactly. Wouldn't surprise me if the foot & ankle articulation is nixed before production, too. It's a shame, 'cause I was really hoping these would be as good as the wave 1 Turtles, but I suppose expecting anything from Playmates is a bad idea.

If Shredder's armour is easily removable then I'll probably pick him up for a custom, but unless the missing artic is added in then I'll have to pass.

Nah, not negative - I think they look great, best of the line so far. But I have several restrictions when it comes to collecting, so anything that doesn't meet my (admittedly high) standards I have to pass on. A few years ago I'd have said "screw it" and bought them anyway, but sadly it's just not an option for me these days...

Do the 1990 Henson classics have the same 34 points of articulation as the 1987 FW Classics?

yes they have the same general body type with the exact articulation layout. However there are several new differences. the musculature is a bit more exaggerated now. also of course new belts, weapons and heads.

Cowabungawolf89 · 07-26-2014, 09:05 PM

The classics line has taken my money so far.
87 turtles
Bebop and Rocksteady
90 turtles
Shredder and Krang.
Wave 5 should be April and Splinter hopefully.

Based on the pattern so far, I'd expect the next wave after Shredder & Krang to be more Turtles.
