Awesome! I can't wait to see pics of Bebop and Rocksteady!

*CyberCubed* · 01-24-2014, 02:04 PM

For the love of god let's hope they were humans before mutation. And bebop is black with a purple Mohawk.

Saying they look more feral with tribal markings worries me they're just African zoo animals.

Seriously Cubed, let it go dude. Because I'm feeling nice, he has the mohawk. So more than likely, he'll be black before mutation. Happy now?

Please tell me Bebop was still a black man with a purple mohawk! PLEASE

Cubed, if it'll shut you up - Bebop was brown, with black trousers, red vest, purple shades, a mohawk (possibly purple, it was hard to tell) and (I think) black markings on his chest. Rocksteady was grey, shirtless with camo pants, white markings, no helmet. When I say "tribal markings", it's not like they're covered - it seemed to just be on their chests.

I've got to say, of all the characters from the old 'toon that have been revived for the new one, these 2 have probably undergone the fewest changes, aesthetically.

this i agree with.

LivingMutagen · 01-24-2014, 04:23 PM

Sorry for double post, but excited for these figures. And Tiger Claw looks like this btw Discogod

*Discogod* · 01-24-2014, 04:36 PM

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the same image used on the cut-out.

Actually, if that's on the net, then the images for Bebop, Rocksteady and the Cyber-Foot should be too. Might be worth a little digging...

The Sports Warrior · 01-24-2014, 05:31 PM

So am I right in thinking that the catalogue is saying Casey and Mutagen Man will be out in the UK in May?
I just want to be clear in case I start getting excited for no reason.

*Hero* · 01-24-2014, 05:47 PM

Thanks for the heads up Discogod.

OrokuYoshiFilms · 01-24-2014, 06:16 PM

Fantastic news, thanx for the info! Tiger Claw, Slash, Newtralizer, (Black) Bebop *tee hee* & Rocksteady......bring on the baddies! My TMNT are runnin' out of butts to kick...

Oh and two words: Turtle.....BLIMP! *faints*

So since he has a Mohawk that automatically makes him black?

*snake* · 01-24-2014, 07:36 PM

Hey Discogod, how big was the playmates display?

tmntgoldcoin · 01-24-2014, 08:09 PM

Can't wait for these. Just hope their better than the 4 new figures. Casey looks cool, but the squirrelnoid and mutagen man I'll pass on.

Universal_Adam · 01-24-2014, 09:37 PM

I can't wait to see a new Bebop and Rocksteady! Thanks for the info!

Like Nick sized, or larger? But the major reason I signed up was to specifically ask you if you saw the '90 Henson Classic figures? How were they in your opinion, and do you have any pics?

The '90 Movie Classics weren't on display, as they're a retailer exclusive - no point showing stuff that's not widely available!

The new movie stuff is the same scale as the Nick figures, and should fit in, in theory - it's much more detailed and "realistic" looking, so there might be a stylistic clash.

The main TMNT room was about 12' x 16', packed full of stuff. The movie stuff was off to the side in a smaller room, about 4' x 6'. The whole booth was split into "rooms", with TMNT easily having the biggest area.

In fact, I'd estimate that maybe 25% of all the exhibitors there had something TMNT-related on display. It's going to be a great year for TMNT collectors, I don't think we'll have seen so much merchandise since the peak of the original cartoon!

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 01-25-2014, 04:38 AM

All sounds great, thanks for the info

*snake* · 01-25-2014, 08:20 AM

Thanks! Playmates always seems to have big booths every year.

Basaka · 01-25-2014, 08:27 AM

Awesome info, thanks for the report. I'm excited for the new Nick figures and curious to see the movie toys. Nick Slash is coming! That made my day.

PhatRam32 · 01-25-2014, 08:38 AM

No word on a Karai figure? Kind of surprised she has not been mentioned.
