These don't look bad at all, but I'll forever be a broken record when it comes to not liking full durag Raphael regardless of its lineage in the Mirage comics.

Just bought a Ninja Shouts Michelangelo figure for my son on Ebay and the new backpack from Five Below. He's 5 and has been practically begging for these toys since he saw the trailer. I'm going to put the figure in the backpack as a surprise! Despite my own hesitations, I'm very excited for his first major turtle experience! At the least, it's going to be fun for him and that's what matters to me. (By the way, his name is Angelo )

Those battle packs are pretty cool - that is honestly how Playmates should sell TMNT figures at this point. They are never going to be high quality so just go for some decent articulation and value.

That's great! Five years old is a great time to become a Turtles fan. Enjoying his toys in use and running around the house karate fighting invisible ninjas. I think it's awesome, man!

Those battle packs are definitely where it's at.

Thanks man! Yea, and it's also cool to see because to him the "old turtles" are my 2003 turtles The 80's turtles are like The Flintstones to him. So this Mutant Mayhem line coming out is sweet to us because he finally has his version of the turtles.

I hope we get to see whatever Playmates is making for SDCC soon. Also would love to see promo shots of the rest of the first wave, Superfly looks so sick!

I still think they look pretty fun. The paint on Rocksteady's horns is pretty terrible though, and while I don't have a problem with the design necessarily that head/neck certainly makes for a pretty impossible action figure.

Happy to see that the turtles look less neon in these photos.

I'll reserve full judgement until I see them in store and can get a better look at them

It'd be nice if someone gets the license or eventually we get something that's stylized more like the movie designs. It's such a cool design to only get these releases. And I think they look pretty good for kids toys so Playmates did well. But I'd love to see a more accurate movie look with more paint apps for collectos.
