*Raph's Girl* · 04-26-2005, 10:06 AM

Howdy folks,

schedule, so here it is as it stands today (bear in mind that things often
change):

* Currently scheduled for June release:

1) Gen
http://www.ninjaturtles.com/toys/2005/gen/gen.html

2) Feudal Shredder

4) Stealth FX Weapons (no pix available)

5) Combat Warriors (I'm not sure what these are, I assume TMNT
variants)

6) Combat Cruisers (The packaging at Toy Fair had the figs in the box
with the bike, but perhaps they'll be sold separately - see above. Time
will tell)

And if the images don't show up at first just hit refresh.

What the heck is up with those Mystic Fury turtles??? Raph looks totally freaky looking!! He's missing a tooth in the exact same spot Mikey's missing one in the comics!!! And Mike's sticking his toungue out!! And he's missing a bottom tooth!!

Jed · 04-26-2005, 10:30 AM

Great, release dates!

Of course living in Ireland I won't see most of them for at least a year if at all. I will have a lot to buy when I'm in America for August/September though!

I wonder why Gen was pushed back from January to June, maybe they decided to take out the "fall apart" action feature (here's hoping). I would have thought Karai would be out sooner too. Minnetonka Mutant?? Any more info on this?? I never heard of this contest

Nice to have release dates though, this'll make a few people happy

I'm gonna update the Complete New Line Checklist with this info, I'll give you and Dan the credit Raph's Girl

OA · 04-26-2005, 05:29 PM

cool..so the hunting begins in June...perfect timing for me since im currently in the process of buying a house...and dont have the extra $$ rite now to spend on TMNT...

*cowabunga14* · 04-26-2005, 06:10 PM

Well that's really rad that we got some release date info. I'll probbably be goin' to Wal-Mart a lot durin' the summer.

Triceraton · 04-26-2005, 08:19 PM

What happened to General Blanque & Hamato Yoshi?

And also, why are there only 4 new figures on that list? We usually get 4 or more new figures in every wave, and now we only get a total of 4 out of 3 waves of product?

Jed · 04-27-2005, 03:45 AM

That list might not be a full one, we'll just have to wait closer to June/July to see what carded images go up on the official site. I would hope that Blanque and Yoshi would be in the same wave as Karai.

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 04-27-2005, 08:46 AM

With Karai Shredder released in September it makes think that Karai will have her own Shredder armor in season 4 of the new show. Intersesting.......

TheShowstoppa · 04-27-2005, 03:22 PM

DAMMIT!!!!! *STABS DAN IN THE EYE!!!!* Where the hell is my Hoverboardin Leo figure?!?! I don't give a flying *edited* about these, I just want a damn Leo that's tall and has kick ass articulation!

Shark · 04-27-2005, 09:02 PM

Too bad thats links don't work, but I'll take your word for it :p

And is it that stupid Karai Shredder, or an actual Karai?

Jed · 04-28-2005, 04:06 AM

It's the "stupid Karai Shredder", lol

clockstomper · 05-04-2005, 07:44 PM

I'm disapointed in Playmates...they make that stupid Butterfly Swords figure, yet we don't get figures of Bishop, regular Karai, any of the real robot Baxter versions or any of the "Same as it Never Was" Turtles? Come on...

It seems Playmates wants to pretend Season 3 never happened and just jump into "Mutants and Monsters".

Leonardo19 · 05-04-2005, 07:56 PM

I love all the current TMNT toys. This schedule is fine by me and I cant wait to get them all. I may be wrong but in order to get figures we want it the future we gotta keep the current toys selling.

If they did, I'm willing to bet anything they would give that same goofy ass stupid grin they put on all the turtle toys so far...which will force me not to buy them.

jestergoblin · 05-05-2005, 10:46 AM

Because the first Leo in this wave clearly has a "goofy ass stupid grin"

Leonardo as portrayed by Mel Gibson

I am sure they'll make a Bishop figure. He is becoming a major part in the story and probably the main villain. As for Karai, I am upset about the new figure, since she is not in her usual outfit. Her face too is crappy. I am guessing she will wear a shredder suit in season 4, so this new figure will fit more into the show. If she does not, then Playmates is surely screwing us with these figures. To me, the first figure shown of Karai had a more show-accurate look. Tell me why they changed it.
