New Turtle Wave

Donatelloz · 03-03-2003, 09:55 PM

Are their any turtles in the next Wave of toys. Ive only seen Hun, April, the Foot Mobile thing, and Casey.
Also Is the shell cell, Sewer Den, the Mike and the Raph role playing sets coming out with the second wave as well? I think the second wave is coming out in the summer right?

Also anyone seen the pics for the new sewer den? Is it just me or does it look nothing like the one in the new toon.

I think there was something about "X-treme Sport" turtles. No ones seen actual shots of the figs yet, just concept art.

The Shell Cell, Sewer Den, and Mike & Raph things are supposed to come out in wave 2.

I think i'll be getting the Shell Cell and Sewer, Casey, Hun, April, and MAYBE the extreme sports raph (he has roller blades and i roller blade a lot.... so yeah.)

I can't find a link to the artwork for the extreme sports TMNT but I do know that Wave 2 is only Casey, April and Hun. The Sports TMNT will come out in October (Wave 3) along with a Nanotech Monster (from ep. 5) and a Foot Tech Ninja (these first appear in ep.7).

I really hope they drop the extreme sports line, or atleast change it. They look like rehashed late 80's trash. What would be cool is if they had Baxter Stockman w/mousers, Oroku Saki, Hamato Yoshi, elite foot soldiers, and Purple Dragon members instead. But no, Playmates has to come up with this crap. Oh well.

Did any of you guys see the itemup for auction on eBay? It was Leo, Don, and Shredder all in on box together. I think it was mentioned on mikeystmnt message boards. But id think itd be cool if they did that with the purple dragons. Make lke 6 different ones and put 3 in a box like that. Thatd be cool.

Donatello02 · 03-04-2003, 06:04 PM

Where are those available?

Peter mentions the box sets in his new blast from the past

As for the extreme sports TMNT, I'd prefer more new characters but look at the facts; heroes sell more, that's why Batman has so many versions in his line and why Mattel make more of He-Man than any other character in the line. Plus look at it this way, if the pattern continues next year we'll get 16 figures, 8 of which will be 2 different versions of the TMNT whilst the other 8 will be brand new characters from the show.

It's also likely that as the show becomes more popular we'll get more figures per year so, whilst this means we'll get more TMNT variations, we'll also be getting more new characters.

BJs????? WTF, we don't have a frigging BJs! No fair. If someone can pick me up one mint box of the Shredder/Leo/Don, and two (one mint the other doesn't have to be) boxes of Mikey/Foot/Raph I will gladly pay them the expenses. Please!
