I've bought the Slash and Android Body Krang. Both are very good. The joints are nowhere near as bad as some have stated. The plastic doesn't feel cheap or breakable like some other brands.

Personally I would love to see an idw style krang and Leatherhead.

They are starting to become more confident doing larger style figures, so maybe!

Pixel Dan remarked that the joints/joint cuts are definitely improving as per the SDCC IDW set.

I have the Tokka, Rahzar and Super Shredder and can attest that the figures are built way better (and, I have the foot soldiers with the crappy/flimsy joints). They don't have the nasty joint cuts like my arcade Krang's Android body, which looks good when not flexing.

Rahzar and Super Shredder's waist swivel is a bit loose but not problematic. Tokka's beak looks ridiculous if you open it all the way, but why would someone open it so wide...

They're also on amazon. Was hoping to get the 19.99 price, might not be able to with these.

Disbarring any random price discounts, it looks as if $21.99 is the new default price.

I gave up on the idea of finding GIT Slash and April (orange accents) on Target or their website (as they rudely/crudely canceled my pre-orders), so I went ahead and ordered vanilla Slash and vanilla April from Amazon. They were $21.99.

Also, the non-arcade, non-SDCC Tokka and Rahzar are available at BBTS for $21.99.

I'll probably end up with them anyway because I do otherwise like the sculpting and scale, but bloody hell this is gross.



(Taken from Pixel Dan's video -- I didn't watch the whole thing because I despise him as a reviewer. If for him this constitutes an *improvement* over the 'toon Turtles' joints...)

Mad Hatter Reviews also did a segment on the IDW turtles. For whatever reason, he didn't seem much bothered by it. He even praised them for having a level of articulation that is uncommon for these figures, but he implicated the articulation/sculpt sacrifice somewhere

I don't have these figures yet as I ordered them from EE and they are known for shipping delays.

I hope Arcade Tokka and Rahzar are gonna be easier to get a hold of soon, I don't wanna pay $100ish for the two of them. You can preorder glowing Super Shredder but not these two on most sites which is weiiiird

The arcade color variants are popping in and out of stock on

https://theloyalsubjects.com/collect...023-collection

I was able to order them and they arrived after about a week, the shipping is kinda harsh but better than paying scalper pricing.

Ordered the amazon version... I totally don't need this since I have the NECA but it looks good quality for the price.

Well, I certainly lucked out at Walmart today! Found these in on clearance for a steal! A little bit of army-building multi-colored Foot Soldiers for a really good price!

As I've said before, as much as I don't like the way the turtles look in the cartoon line for this brand (or how they don't scale with the human characters), I actually do really like all the human characters (yes, I know this version of the Foot Clan is robots), so I definitely couldn't pass this up! Plus, these actually scale perfectly with Playmates Turtles.

I've seen these with that yellow tag at Wal-Mart as well, but so far it's been that yellow tag-thing that Wal-Mart does where they tag it but don't change the price.

But congrats on that pickup - for 20 bucks I'd grab another Foot Soldier variety pack of 4! That's a great deal on an army builder

I was able to grab 2 packs (as it's all they had), so 8 Foot Soldiers in total (for a total of $40 plus tax). Seems like a fair amount to fight the brothers.
