TMNT Classics Collection Wave 3

I'm not too mad about the "hiatus". It's not like Shredder and Krang would be quality products or easy to find.

...or in scale

Yeah, I'm with you. They looked cool, & assuming the paint was alright I'd have bought them, but the scale irked me a lot. Now that we've got this stellar light-up 12 inch Krang, I'll just get that. Taking a loss with regards to Shredder, but I'd rather have one insanely dope Krang than a mediocre Krang & Shredder, personally.

That krang looks amazing. Too bad about the price, but it's justified IMO.

regarding the classics line here is what Playmates Told Pixel Dan

I did. Unfortunately, it's done for the time being. They did not go into production on Shredder and Krang, and said it doesn't look good for those two ever coming out. They are going to reissue the Turtles, Bebop, and Rocksteady one more time and them that's it.

They said the only real hope at this point is around when the second movie comes out. They said at that point, they may be able to bring the line back, but they still weren't positive.

[turtlefanforever]

so much hurt. But that's cool they are re-issuing the old ones

[Jester]

I wonder if the re-release will be wider. I wonder if part of the reason the line didn't preform is because they were only in comic shops and TRUs. Release to Walmart, and they'd probably do better.

[Candy Kappa]

I'm not shocked Playmates once again is responsible for hindering a 6 inch Shredder figure.

[Huzzah]

Limiting the line to select stores is what killed it. A full release to Wal-Mart and Target would do wonders, those stores are 10 minutes from me. The nearest TrU to me is over an hour away and I'm not keen to pay exaggerated prices online for something I wasn't 100 percent down for. That being said I actually made the drive in search of Bebop and Rocksteady, to no avail.

They are not even out in the UK or the rest of the EU yet.....

Must be lucky for once, because they are peg warming here in Canada. Almost every Walmart I go into has them. Both wave 1 and 2. I would pick up a third set if they dropped the price.

Bebop and Rocksteady are pretty easily available in my city too (at TRU and Target only, I think) and I was able to get them for 25% off a while back.

Haven't seen a single 1990 movie figure, though.

I have been looking for the movie figures every time I go to Walmart no luck either. Seen them in Winnipeg at Comics Of America for $60+ each. Left them there too.

The toys r us here seems to have a bunch of bebop and rocksteady. Before Christmas I was looking to get the cartoon turtles since I never got them. I had resisted for a long time then my kids wanted me to get a Donatello that toys r us had on clearance (it was damaged packaging so it was half off)which I got the same time the turtle power DVD came out. So then of course I had to get the others. I got raph and Leo easy but Mike I had to wait till they got more stock in January. I would have preferred the movie ones but as mentioned, they never saw release in Canada. Playmates distribution partner in Canada, spin master, is pretty bad for getting this stuff imported.

They better be on hiatus and not cancelled. I need that Shredder and Krang. I would also like to see an April in the future.

I'd be fine if they didn't do the shredder. I just need that Krang!

I won't. Shredder is my favorite bad guy and I'm not just talking about within the Turtle's universe. I mean he is my favorite bad guy period.
