"new" Playmates Shredder's Revenge figures from LRG

mikey see · 10-03-2024, 09:46 PM

Limited Run Games is at it again, re-(re)-releasing Shredder's Revenge and including some exclusive Playmates figures with the collector's edition. I can't remember if it was the base game or the special edition that came with a Toon-like Shredder, but they've done this before and I believe the figure was a bit fugly when it was released. Still... all four figures with repaints to match the game is kind of tempting. The Shredder bundle was $125 if I recall correctly and this one is $125 with all four brothers.

Any suckers, I mean takers? Honestly... I'm considering it.

I have the original release and so far haven't bought any DLC or the deluxe edition in any form. Saw this this morning and ordered it. If the figures are $15 each and the 3 CD soundtrack is $30 and the rest including the game make up the other $35 it's not a bad package. So I said, what the hell!

I think I'm going to be right there with you. It would be the third time I've bought this game (I did buy the special edition with the Casey and Usagi DLC) but the game is kind of a masterpiece - there's so much fan service and it's all just extremely well done. I don't have much faith that the figures will come out looking very good but they're still exclusive figures. "New" Playmates figures is a soft spot for me... looking at the Target Toilet Taxi currently sitting on my desk as I type this.

I feel you, 5th time for me. But i'm a sucker for these boys so i need every version of their games i can get, so it's already pre-ordered.

While I'd have liked to add the Shredder from the prior Collector's Edition release to my collection, that package was just too pricey for what it was. All I was interested (besides the expanded game content) in there was the one figure, so it was an easy pass. This one, they got me.

I never got the first collectors edition, so might just try for this one

I totally get where you're coming from! Those repainted figures do look pretty sweet, especially since they match the game's vibe. I remember when I picked up some collectible figures from other game releases, and even if the initial quality wasn't great, having them on display was totally worth it. If you’re a big TMNT fan like me, this set could be a fun addition to your collection, especially since it’s a limited edition.
