I spotted the new wave at my Wal-Mart today. I saw both Triceraton figures, a Silver Sentry, a Fugitoid and a Guardian. Also present were two of the Space Hoppin' figs. I didn't pick any up, yet, though. If they'd had an Utrom, though, I'd have snatched it right up. Anyone else found them yet?

BTW, I am located in Southern Oregon, and until now I always seemed to be the last one to find some figures.

edit: Antrax saw them too.

The last thing I saw here was the Space Hoppin' Turtles... so Massachusettes will get them... ehh... bout the turn of the next century... maybe I can actually afford them by then!

[Splinter]

As far as I know, the following figures have not been released:

Shredder Clone w/ 4 Arms
Shredder Clone w/ Claws
Dr. Malignus
Utrom
Leo vs. T-Rex

They should hopefully be shipping in the next wave.

Maybe they are just splitting the wave into two boxes like last wave?

Shredder Clone w/ 4 Arms was released, I didn't see the others you mentioned though.

I'm not much of a reviewer, I'll give it a shot in a bit.

I found the remnents of the wave at Target in Madison, WI today. I bought Silver Sentry and Triceraton Soldier.

I am so getting Fugitoid! Squee!

[Antrax]

Four Arm Shredder
Articulation-peg joints: neck, each elbow, waist, and hips
Each arm slightly differs direction of it's joint. The bottom ones rotate keeping it's mostly straight pose. The upper ones have more of a pounding action. The hips are posed to move forward much like Casey's as opposed to the Tech Ninja.

Sculpt-I prefer figures that at least resemble its cartoon likeness. As far as I remember, this is as close as Playmates likes to make them. The arms lack singular movement and are attached too far from its body. There are 4 screws and a button on its back, which really bugs me. At least the action button is not as big as most others. Other than that, the figure fit's nicely with the rest of them.

Action Feature-Its action feature is triggered by a small button on its back. When pressed, it's upper arms (only when positioned forward) move into a bear hug position. They move from about 2.25 to 1 inch apart. It doesn't work well for it's lower arms. Since the arms are attached together to make the feature work, it loses a lot of regular movement.

Paint-Except for the gauntlets that are unpainted in certain places where it's skin and the metal meet, the paint is perfect.

Accessories-The figure comes with four swords as accessories. They have black grips and the rest glows in the dark. He does not look half bad holding them and at least he didn't get a projectile of some sort.

From 1-10, 9 being my current favorite. I give this one a 7.

Guardian Ninja
Articulation-peg joints: neck, biceps, waist, and hips. ball jointed shoulders
This is the only figure in this wave(so far) with ball jointed shoulders. That would be great except his coat restricts most of its movement unless you move his coat far above his shoulders that look bad in most angles. The hips are posed to move forward much like Casey's.

Sculpt-When I first saw him, I could tell he was way too small. He is as tall as Armorized Shredder(without his helmet) and has a much smaller head.

Paint-There is not much to paint on this figure and it was not done properly. Some of the squares on his wrists aren't colored completely. There is extra paint around the chain of the Utrom emblem. There are unpainted edges on is glasses and of his facial hair. I would have preferred paint on his arms to look like his coat(as it was before) but instead it is the color of his shirt.

Accessories-The figure comes with a removable plastic(similar to Turtle Titan’s) coat and a spear as tall as he is. The spear looks similar to the one used by one of the gladiators from space. The blade glows in the dark. The only weapon I wanted was a sword that is the only weapon I remember him using. Hopefully I can find one to replace it.

I give this one a 6 mainly for it's small size and it's missing his sword.

Silver Sentry
Articulation-peg joints: neck, shoulders, waist, and hips
I fail to see a reason that most of these figures don't have ball joint shoulders. Also wrists, not much of a change but moving wrists would make a huge difference. The hips are triangular, much like the Tech Ninja. I'm not a fan of these kinds of hips but I like the fact that when standing, he can keep his legs straight instead of one in front of the other.

Sculpt-This is a great sculpt. His size and super hero look fits nicely next to the Turtle Titan. The lack of action feature and "artistic rights" applied is very welcome.

Paint-I can't see a flaw in paint on the figure. It doesn't need much anyway.

Accessories-The figure comes with a glow in the dark staff and shield. I'm not sure what to think of these weapons. It's a matter of opinion, I'm keeping them in my box full of projectiles etc. I would have preferred a mechanical bug, hopefully included with the Dr.

I give this one an 8. Just for the sculpt, this is a great figure. Ball jointed shoulders and moving wrists as well as a bug would have made it a 10.

Fugitoid
Articulation-peg joints: neck, wrists and hips. The shoulders are similar to the joints used in the 88' turtles legs. The arms and legs are made of soft bendable plastic which allows great movement but easily returns to its regular position. One of the fingers on each hand has some sort of joint. It keeps it from opening to far. It is probably ment to make his gear fit better and it helps him hold weapons like the Guardian's spear.

Sculpt-looks just like the fugitoid. No action feature or accessory modifications to ruin the sculpt.

Paint-The only paint on this is the eyes and mouth. The paint is very close to the edges all around. Even the accessory seems perfectly painted.

Accessories-The figure comes with some sort of backpack. The pack clips on to his torso without any dents to help it fit. It holds on very well and some pressure is needed to remove it. The machine gun looking attachment as a ball inside that his fingers are used to grip it. The other attachment uses something something similar except it has a wire across the center so two fingers fit under and one above. The wire connects a spring loaded jaw similar to the Mouser's.

I give this one a 9. Ball Jointed shoulders/hips would have made this figure perfect.

Triceraton Warrior
Articulation-peg joints: neck, shoulders, hips and tail.

Sculpt-This figure is huge. It has much better muscle defenition than most of these figures. The horns are made of a harder plastic so it doesn't bend easily. The tail was detached to fit in the package better and I found it hard to attach it(running it under hot water would maki it easy but make sure no one is taking a shower).

Paint-Can't find any paint slips.

Accessories-The figure comes with a big missle launcher. It attaches to his right shoulder only when his arm is extended. The eyepiece is removable and looks great either way. There is a small button near the base of the launcher that shoots a missle. The helmet is removable and stays on very well. It looks like paint on one clear plastic piece.

I give this one a 9. Again, ball jointed shoulders and wrists would have made this figure perfect.

General Mozar
Articulation-peg joints: neck, shoulders, right wrist, hips and tail.

Sculpt-This figure is huge. He is as big as Hun and doesn't have any action features or the screw holes. His tail was also detached. It was a lot easier to get it atached that the Triceraton Warrior.

Paint-There are a few places where the paint could have been applied better. The paint on the belt and thigh strap rubs off easily.

Accessories-The figure comes with a gun projectile. He holds it from the back handle. He can also use the front one but it looks kind of weird. There is a small button near the "trigger" that shoots a missle. The helmet is removable and stays on very well. It is smaller than the Triceraton Warrior's and the holes for the horns are further appart so they can't use each other's helmet without bending the horns.

I give this one a 9. Again, ball jointed shoulders and wrists would have made this figure perfect.

Dammit! The new wave is out and I'm stuck here in Asia. I'm on vacation here until the 6th of August so no new toys for me until then!
