That Baxter gives me a good idea for a regular human version using the robot suit headsculpt. I just wonder how big the figure will be.

Baxter needs to be in the same wave as the tur-fly-tle Mikey as Mikey needs to be with his nemesis and hopefully Maggot boy (Raph with glider pack) will be there as well.

i mean the articulation on baxter is acceptable. i mean
what do you expect? marvel legends articulation?
even with lack of paint, this has alot of effort and
sculpt put in this. i can see love put on the figure.
i'll be concern if it dont come with that candy bar
in the final product. as for the movie toys, it looks
lack luster i'll admit, but half of this fandom is
gonna buy the product anyway. kids'll get into
this too. i mean, with hasbro's transformers 4 toys

what with the price range of mainline, being 14-25-and-40, parent'll buy the cheapest. which right now, tmnt is pretty f'n cheap. and when they're affordable, psh. do i really need to explain? i mean for god sakes, marvel legends, and 6inch starwars figures are 20 bucks each. their 3inch figures are 9-to-10 $. the only thing that sells might be those cheap 4 articulated spiderman figures, and those barely sell.

TMNT is a line that sells. i still see pegs with hardly any toys from playmates ninja turtles. now how well the movie toys sell remains to be seen. i'll buy myself a set. to support playmates.

but seriously, saying RIP playmates? thats...a douche bag way to say.

concidering how they try hard to keep the toys on a affordable price.

i agree what do some people aspect a 100$ bill for a 8 bill toy bo way

Yet they fail and completely miss the mark on the Classics line.

This. Why don't you just accept Playmates is a TOY company? They don't really look at the adult fans, but at the children who are fans of Ninja Turtles. And when they do a collection for adults (Classic Collection) you guys still aren't satisfied! Why don't you guys just give it a break. Man, this is like the Sonic fandom sometimes.

Why does Fly Baxter have a big lump of flesh on his head? I was wondering this in the cartoon too. I doubt that it'll look that good. Its odd that the prototypes look better and are actually more accurate than the final release figues.

I think the sculpts are fine, I mean you can't really mess that up (I know April was different and the first wave turtles) but the painting is just unforgivable. I don't expect collector quality detail but just general matching of the characters on screen goes a long way. Being a toy company isn't a good excuse. I think Hasbro's Transformers look great.

As far as the Classics line goes I understand people's complaints. They're collector figures. The accuracy should be priority number 1. Something the Bebop, Rocksteady and Movie figues weren't given, even though I still love Bebop and Rocksteady.

That's not flesh, it's his afro.

Oh silly me. Well it does look weird. They should have made it look more like hair.

July/August is the Rahzar wave.

[cidman911]

The prices for Bebop & Rocksteady Classics Collection have kind of jumped.

Everyone wants $40 for either one. I remember when they were $50 shipped for both.

That's a heck of a while to wait, since the Casey wave came out in January

[Donatello19]

Where did you hear July/August? If that's true, it's pretty stupid considering the movie toys will come out around the same time.

[Metalwolf]

I thought it was supposed to come out in early to mid May. Hopefully I'm still right...

[Candy Kappa]

My local toys r us seems completely useless, as the website states it is supposed to have the Stealth Tech turtles and Shredder 2 in-stock, but rummaging through the shelves, all I find is the Ooze Tossers and a couple of Leatherheads, Baxters and Snakeweeds.

I even ordered a Shredder 2 for well over 3 weeks ago, and still nothing.

They really over stocked with those crummy Ooze tossers as they fill. It's of the shelves while wave 1 have a few pegs and the other non Ooze figures newer then wave 1 is just lays in a couple of bins. Clever...

[Zulithe]

I have not seen ooze turtles on shelves in a long time. I'm not sure I've seen a stealth turtle in a while either. There might be a few at my TRU... but if so they are way at the back and I must keep skipping them when I fan through the pegs. So, probably not many.

I see tons of Storage Shells though. TONS. I still find it amusing that they are still shipping both wave 1 turtles and storage shells in the same cases... I wonder when they plan on changing that? When the LARP turtles release, will they drop storage shells from cases? Hmm.

Anyway Candy you probably mentioned this but you are not in the USA right (was it Norway)? Cause USA Amazon has all of the figures you are looking for between 8.88 and 12 USD each. I guess we are spoiled in that way. I wonder if it costs much to just import them? I import figures all the time (usually from japan :p but sometimes china!)

[Candy Kappa]

yeah, I live in Norway. I have on Amazon found a Shredder 2 with an okay shipping price, ie double the price in total, but. I was hoping to avoid extra cost since they are officially in Toys r Us` stock.

With the speed we're moving in getting the waves, I guess the Storage Shells won't hit until spring 2015

I wonder if Playmates is doing a packaging change? Maybe that's whats taking so long.
