I'd say chong on he kraang, and rat king shredder. Chong I think will join the kraangy mutants like snake weed and spiderbytez. And rat king could be recruited by shredhead

Anyone else remember that list thing that said when each figure comes out? Can someone repost that?

Maybe Cockroach Terminator will be considered good? Or they'll wait till the Triceratrons show up and put them with those.

Usually they start appearing a few weeks early so you might be able to find them soon. But it really depends on the store and their timing of when they order a case of the figures.

Leatherhead/Snakeweed/Baxter are officially called "wave 4" (their little name cards at Toy Fair showed it)

I should prepare my body for Snakeweed, Leatherhead and Rat King. All must want.

That's the best way to release figures. At least in a line that moves fairly well. A few figures at a time. Easy on the wallet (when multiple members of the family collect the same thing) and they become fairly easy to find after a few weeks.

The factions are very confusing... They almost need a faction that says "Criminals of New York" or something like that for Spiderbytes, Snakeweed, and Cockroach Terminator.

Shredder #2 is s must for me

*miru* · 03-30-2013, 09:27 AM

My guess on factions:

Chong= Kraang

Spiderbytez= Kraang

Rat King= Kraang

Karai= Foot

Newtralizer= Good

Krang= Kraang

Well I for one am glad they are doing the team labels again. Not only does it help remind fans who's a character is on, but it even helps those who don't watch the show know. Also they are gonna have to be accurate to the show with the alliances we don't want the repeat of the past with Wyrm being labeled good, but he's evil in the commercial and same with Wingnut and Screwloose being evil in the show, but are good in toy form. Mutagen Man also had a slight similar problem being called a bad guy on toy form, but turns good in the show.

*Ninjinister* · 03-30-2013, 04:28 PM

And then Rat King and Muckman/Joe Eyeball had no symbol on their portraits but were always being thrown in arbitrary sides on the lineups....

Don't get me wrong, I love the factions! They make it like a "Who's side are YOU on" kinda deal.

*DVD* · 03-30-2013, 05:24 PM

on the good vs evil thing.. I was deciding.. keep these 2012 figures in packs, or open up.... Well I decided to go with a few on display opened up. The vehicles are too cool to leave in the boxes. The stealth bike in particular. a lil flimsy perhaps, but very nice.
Back to labels. maybe a simple 'Good Guys' and 'Bad Guys" tag would work. Even tho it is accepted that a shell is heroes (or goodies) and the foot logo is for vilains (or baddies).
Either way, keep bringing out the figures, as im loving this line.

In case people who wondered about Leatherhead's articulation, this image I found has finally confirmed that Leatherhead has ball hinged legs at the hips so his articulation is a total of 10 points instead of 8. However, that sadly doesn't change the fact that his low amount of articulation is only twice the amount of Kraang's 5 points which is sadly not that impressive, but it is nice that he does have more than any other Leatherhead figure.

*Donatello19* · 03-31-2013, 07:14 PM

How does he have 10 points? I'm counting 8...Look, he has articulation in his:

2 arms
2 Wrists
2 Legs
1 Head
1 Tail

That equals 8, not sure where you're getting 10 from.

Luigiperps · 03-31-2013, 07:16 PM

Some count the arm as two, swivel and a hinge.

ShredderX633 · 03-31-2013, 07:52 PM

Leatherhead has 2 joints in both shoulders, 2 joints in each hip, head swivel and tail swivel. The main reason both should be considered seperate joints is mainly because in the vintage line, some characters like Scale Tail and even some main ones decided to not have the same joints in their arms and/or legs. So Scale tail for instance has a swivel forearm on one arm, but the other is just three snakes coming out of his body so he only had a shoulder joint or how Razor Fist from the 2003 series decided not to have a leg swivel in one of them for his pinching gimmick. Statistically since some figures choose not to have joints in their arms or legs, they should technically be considered separate joints. Also, I've seen very close shots of his wrists and they sadly look molded and static so there doesn't seem to be any wrist movement, but hopefully there is because it would be very sad to see him being that close to being as bad as the Kraang on an articulated point of view.

*DVD* · 03-31-2013, 11:07 PM

In context of the 2012 figures etc.
I got the gigantic playset last Friday. Cost as much again for postage!!
Unfortunately, I found when I was building it today, that there are loads of parts missing.
The sticker sheets and instruction sheet, missing. No shredder dummy or waste can trap (from the top). There was even the floor for the computer lab missing.
And, all of the card backdrops are missing.
This is a disaster.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 04-01-2013, 12:07 AM

Leatherhead, Baxter, Rat King, Snakeweed and Cockroach Terminator are all musts for me

*DVD* · 04-01-2013, 02:03 AM

I've tried on line, without much luck.
Could someone please photograph the assembly instructions and parts list, so that I can clearly identify which parts of my set are missing, then I can prepare a mre accurate request for replacement parts. Any help, much appreciated.

BOT, more so. I'm looking forward to all of the new figures, and although not my favorite character, I still think Snakeweed is going to be crazy cool (quote I literally just heard from Mikey!)

*Donatello19* · 04-01-2013, 06:38 AM

I went into my Walmart yesterday and was VERY surprised to see Snakeweed and Baxter Stockman on the shelves! No Leatherhead though...It was at night time so they just finished putting them on the shelf, and there were two Baxters and 2 Snakeweeds, so I guess the rest of the case is just turtles. Be on the look out for these guys! Took a few awesome pics:
