*Ninjinister* · 11-13-2008, 01:02 AM

Totally painting Cyber Shredder and Foot to look like they do on the show.

But why so flippin' late? Damn you Playmates.

I'm gonna point my finger once again at Gary, omgz 2009 is our shellibration let's wait to release everything then and let the market go dry with nothing new out for months, no dvds, no new shirts, no toys! Man it's gonna be great when everything floods in all at once in 2009.

Yeah, it's a real mistake to literally wait until 2009 for everything to even start (and I'm not convinced there's even going to be a flood of stuff then). And it sounds like they're waiting until May, the technical actual anniversary date, to even start doing anything worthwhile. Everything should be getting into swing right now, but instead they're just letting everything die and no one's gonna care about Ninja Turtles by the time they finally want people to. But they can't write enough press releases already patting themselves on their backs.

I just want The Forever War and Mirage at Comic-Con and I'll be happy.

They wait this long and can't even get the colors right? The hell Playmates?! I mean, their not even remotly right. The colors make them look like more damn extreme sport variants. That said, I do like the remolds done. I'd like to see better pics before I judge the Shedder and Foot. Why does that build-a-figure-you-already-own-in-better-colors take up half the page? I may get Leo for a custom, but I don't think I'm getting any others. If their not going to make the effort to make them look right, I'm not going to make the effort to buy them.

No wonder Wal-Mart's dropping <_<

EDIT: Btw, it doesn't help that TMNT shares it's anniversary with Transformers (also their 25th), who have already done more than TMNT's companies have shown or even hinted at.

Yep, my thoughts exactly.

*tOkKa* · 11-13-2008, 03:45 AM

-->> ..wish those damm TMNTs were translucent ..

*Raph's Girl* · 11-13-2008, 05:26 AM

Well looks like Im gonna be getting me the Cyber Shredder for sure.

Cyber Mikey looks majorly demented and kinda evil.

Leo looks like he belongs in the Star Wars Universe in an X-Wing Fighter.
Don and Raph looks like they're just coming out of the X Games or something.

So all in all...I'll probably just end up getting Cyber Shredder. Im just pissed that Splinter is a fraking build-a-figure. :/

*Drtooth* · 11-13-2008, 08:52 AM

The Cyber Turtles are complete trash... but Cyber Shredder actually looking approximately like the one on the show? That really impresses me. They set the bar that low.

But, seriously... what the shell is cyber about those turtles? They don't look a damn thing even close to the series. They look like they're about to play football for the Palo Alto Metallics or something....

Lil G · 11-13-2008, 10:37 AM

they went stupid on the cyber turtles and splinter... but i would probably get the cyber foot and the cyber shredder. or maybe ill get all of them just for the splinter.

*Ninjinister* · 11-13-2008, 10:39 AM

I'm left wondering if the Mini-Mutants Shredder and Foot will still be translucent versions of movie Shredder and Foot Tech Ninja, or will be closer to these versions....

11-13-2008, 11:53 AM

They arn't exact by any means, but I'm excited! I'll pick them all up. I love going to the store and having new figures on the shelves. The build a splinter is actually a cool idea, in my opinion.

**Jester** · 11-13-2008, 02:37 PM

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words...so...

You know,

After getting this new show, I think I'm all Turtle-d Out of Turtle Merchandise anyway. My last Turtle Figure was Hamato Yoshi...I wanted to get all the Mystic Foot, but didn't even see them on the shelves...so I just stopped trying to 'collect them all'..

I'll support any new movies and future TV shows...not to mention video games if they are good. But as of now, I'm done buying the more basic turtle merchandise such as toys unless it's something REALLY cool that NECA puts out.

Once you realize that the person running things is an idiot (Re:Gary), why bother supporting that? From all I gathered, he's one of the laziest executives going when it comes to creating new ideas and actually promoting the brand..A Slightly more dedicated Swamp Gas salesman

. Does anyone actually KNOW how he became Mirage CEO anyway? Was he a relative of someone in Peter Lairds family, and Peter just went 'OK, no one else is applying for the job, you've got it!' Anyone can travel the country/world and go to meetings. It takes REAL HARD WORK and Brains to get creative...and until Gary does that, Mirage is better off with someone else.

Wow...Those are the S!!!!!tiest pieces of crap that have ever been pooped out of Playmates yet. Sorry for the language, but did Playmates even TRY to get creative with these things?

Peter Laird, if THIS doesn't convince you that Playmates is a BAD thing for the Turtles, nothing will. Forget about Past History and loyalty,......Think about the future of the brand.

*Ninjinister* · 11-13-2008, 02:48 PM

Addendum: Totally repainting every one of those Turtles as well.

Is it just me, or does Playmates have a fetish for getting Shredder's colours wrong?

IamtheKnight · 11-13-2008, 02:51 PM

OMG! why are they still using those movie figures?! The turtles look awful! I might just get Cyber Shredder and Cyber Foot and repaint them because they are the only ones that look cool enough to buy. God! what is up with you playmates. when are you gona wake up and smell the coffee?

**Jester** · 11-13-2008, 02:55 PM

Yeah, I like the Cyber Shredder and Foot (especially the Foot Soldier). Heck, even Cyber Splinter is kinda growing on me....but the guys....look....like...GARBAGE!

Do they seriously think kids will cry to their mommies to buy THOSE!!!

*Ninjinister* · 11-13-2008, 03:30 PM

Considering a kid I saw at a Toys R' Us wanted a proper BttS Raph instead of Alien Hunter Raph (but wanted AH Raph more than Iron Man), I'd say chances are low, Jest.
