That's probably the best thing Playmates can do right now. There's no point in releasing more variants when nothing's happening really, they have already ruined the license enough. We'll have tons more of figures with the new Nick series.

I hope things change at Playmates until then, but I certainly have no hope in them anymore.

This could be a great moment for NECA to finally come out with series 2.

Well, Nickelodeon has yet to even meet with Playmates, so I'm sure they'll put things on hold till atleast Nick figures out what they want to do.

Newton Gimmick · 01-28-2010, 05:42 PM

Why bother making the line exclusive to TRU and then not giving TRU anything to sell?

They should keep shipping the old figures to TRU.

Oh well. Hopefully Nick will save us all soon.

*Samhain* · 01-28-2010, 05:49 PM

Yeah dang I did want those Movie star Tmnt. O well. We have much to look foward too, I hope.

andrewdsz · 01-28-2010, 06:49 PM

At least they released 25th wave 3 figures( o well no casey) in Jan. 2010.

So technically they did release something at 2010.

And for serious collectors sideshow got 4 statues for ya folks to suck.

HissCommander · 01-28-2010, 07:14 PM

Makes sense now why we did away with TMNT at my TRU. I checked the system again today and the figures were updated as "Remove Space" which means no more are coming in. What a bummer, i was hoping i would be able to army build some foot soldiers.

andrewdsz · 01-28-2010, 09:15 PM

JESUS the 25th figures are officially out of stock on toysrus.com and nobody ever seem them in store shelf till now. They dont even have tmnt section anymore.

So that shredder becomes super-rare-omfg item in couple days.

**Jester** · 01-28-2010, 09:24 PM

Am I alone in hoping that Viacom/Nick finds a new toy making partner?

Actually, many of us think the same. The sad part is, there's already a deal between Viacom/Nick and Playmates.

Shrek is cool, but turtles are much cooler. I already have some great 6" Shrek action figures made by another toy company when Shrek 3 was a new movie. Playmates Toys seems to be a very strange toy company that doesn't care much about their fans.

I think Mattel or Hasbro should make the TMNT figures in the future, but it won't happen.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 01-29-2010, 11:20 AM

Well, that'll give all of you who want to a chance to get your vintage collections up to speed.

*Whitewolf89* · 02-01-2010, 01:10 PM

Okay, I don't know if THIS is where this goes, but IF it isn't, would one fo the Mods please move it to the right place later? (I kinda figure that it is, due to the fact that it's about TMNT toys in general.)

Anyway, I g just got THIS in my inbox from Toy News International, via one of their e-mail updates:

"Playmates Puts Star Trek & TMNT On Hiatus For 2010 & Announces Shrek Forever":

"For those of you who have been asking about the current status for Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Star Trek lines, we have learned that both will be going on a hiatus for 2010. What 2011 or beyond will bring, we don't know, but with a new Star Trek movie definitely in the works from Paramount in July 2012, we imagine Playmates will have something on hand to debut with that.

As for what Playmates has in store for 2010, they will be doing a new line of Michael Jackson Collectible Memorabilia and a newly announced "Shrek Forever After" line."

So there you have it. NO new TMNT toys for THIS year. Drat them.

*Samhain* · 02-01-2010, 01:30 PM

Michael Jackson Collectible Memorabilia ? Ugh. Oh well. The Tmnt rights need to go to someone else anyways. Same old crap.
