I doubt we'll see anything more from Bandai. I'm guessing they're done with the turtles. I was hoping that the line would lead to at least April considering they do great looking female figures.

Bandai sucks! I wish I would have never bought those figures since they showed Shredder and had so much potential but just left us all hanging.

I still love the figuarts turtles. They are lot more fun to pose than NECA turtles of that scale, and have a wider range of expressions. Happy to keep both in my collection. Different but both great.

Aww man, Mitchroney is my favorite of the Archie artists.
Super bummed not to be at SDCC now!

I agree, a few days ago I got both my sets out at the the same time, I was posing them and generally messing around with them. I came to the conclusion, that the NECAs were great, but the Figuarts were WAY better. I find the NECAs turtles legs were actually awkard as hell to get a good pose out of.

I am going to get the new SDCC 17 set, and like Lil Karai said, I am happy to have both in my collection.

Haha, I still don't know what to think of the leg joints. On the negative, when one leg moves, the other just about always does too, and the torso tends to topple over an the weirdest times. On the positive side, it does allow for some cool Matrix-like limbo moves.

Baxter has came and went. Hope anyone who wanted him got him!

I know they are, but I'm so dang tired of companies producing the four turtles and then moving on. I appreciate NECA investing the tooling dollars to make new figures and finding unique ways around the licensing issues to make sure fans can get them. Bandai floated Shredder out there and just left us all hanging.

On that I'd like to point out that judging from the pics Traag and Granitor share forearms, hands, and possibly lower bodies. Just pointing it out

hahaha i got a laugh out of that too

Pat always seems so awkward and slimy haha It's great to hear we are getting figures for the new 2018 series.

So no word on the classic TMNT Minimates?? Obviously no Shredder SH Figuarts as others have mentioned. Mega Construx looks dead too. It will be interesting to see who acquires a license for the next character designs.

beardcore84 · 07-22-2017, 10:42 AM

Looks like we are getting 8-Bit TMNT Funko Pops.

Yeah, in reading that I had a vision in my head of the NES TMNT from either the first game and the NES arcade game. Not really sure how I feel about "pixel" versions of the Funko Pops.
