Hm! That's neat......

Where will the Super Impulse World’s Smallest MOTU and G.I. A Real American Hero toys be sold at? The World’s Smallest TMNT figures are one huge disappointment. I wish the World’s Smallest TMNT figures were smaller reproductions of the 1988 figures.

I mean - symmetry vs asymmetry in attractiveness is nearly a ubiquitous aspect of life. Seriously, we are we finding fault with this conversation?

On another note, I don't even know what Super Impulse is. Gonna have to google-fu.....

Yeah. It's only permitted when we're being inclusive.

But back to the topic and the toys we actually care about - Splinter, April and even Baxter are weak. Krangs body is ok, but again, not amazing.

It's great we have FW represented finally, but it sure as hell feels like a lot of it is being rushed.

I look over at the stuff coming out of Kotubukakki, and it's face melting.



Any company that can make Leatherface sexy, needs to take a shot at April.

Me too! I've wanted that figure since 1987!

Some of them (a single Joe and some Transformers) are listed on Amazon.

You’re not bothered that it looks very little like FW Splinter? Like from 80 feet away, if you squint, maybe...

Which brick and mortar stores carry them?

The face changes are nice but I wouldn't skip this figure if these changes were not made. I would be nice if they made her taller and with a bigger chest size but all of that would be an expensive retooling and just delay the figure. My assumption since it's so close to being release what we see is what is coming to market.

We are normally on the same page, but I honestly think the Splinter and Baxter look terrific! I feel like they were pulled right out of the cartoon.

I can't see anything wrong with the Baxter at all, and if I'm was going to try to understand why you didn't like the Splinter the only thing I can think of is that maybe the soft goods clothing on him has that slightly goofy fit you get tend to get on soft goods with toys?

I dunno man. I think those two are amazing while the April is legit problem.

Like I said above.... and I love how he's smaller and his legs are sort of hunched in!

A lot of people are addicts, man. They get to the store and their little 25 to 40 year old hearts are beating and their brain has that dopamine release when they find that green and yellow box. But when that happens, pause for a minute and realize that you don't actually need (nor sometimes actually want) all of the **** theses companies pimp.

That April figure is honestly not good for this particular line. Just walk from it. NECA is going to double dip to take more of your money at some point anyway and later on they might release a better April.

But my sound advice of course is never as powerful as a toy in front of a figure collector when we have that "well.... hmmm... I'll just pick it up" mentality.

Just convo.

Well I'm not even a collector these days - I only have a few figures - but even I can say that if I saw one of these two-packs at Target, there's a good chance I'd instantly buy it. And I've never had a strong enough desire/wallet to order them online. Not exactly the same thing, but I can relate to the pleasure of finding something in the store.

Yup. And I think we all can....

These are collector's toys, they are not cheap. If they are not perfect we should not buy them. Keep your money in your wallet and they will know they need to work better. And I'm sure they CAN do better.

BOOM! That's true.... these guys are making boutique toys at boutique prices so the buyer needs to moderate their buying accordingly.

Even April is not buying it.
