Nick Figures in classic line

Hey, I been looking at the Nick figs and I can not help but feel disappointed by them, some what.

I mean the protos look great, painted weapons , skin tones etc. When I compare them to the Classic 80s turtles that have just come out, I do not get that wow factor with them. They feel very basic.

I was just wondering if you guys think we might get the Nick turtles in the classic line at some point in the future, with much more detail, ie pupils painted weapons, and better sculpts..... I know they have mentioned doing the 2003 turtles at some point.

I see older collectors willing to shell out a bit more, for better quality figures.

I think it would be nice to have larger Nick turtles figures in the classics line, with better detail. I would buy those too.

My guess is that we will see other turtle variants (2003, maybe comic turtles) before we see any classics line Nick Turtles.

So do you you know if there is information that we will be getting the 2003 cartoon turtles in the classics line (like maybe next year?)? Not to change the topic, but I would be interested in buying those too.

Lots of possibilities with the classics line.

My only complaint with the 1980s classics turtles is that the arms seem to be too spread our from the body. I might need to try to get them to move closer to the body, if the articulation allows it. I don't know, lol.

Edit: Also, I find a pattern between having stylized turtles figures with every cartoon. The 1980s original figures didn't match the cartoon and neither do the Nick figures. The 2003 turtles were close to matching the cartoon, but the bandanas were too short and I think the turtle build was too much like the 1980s, instead of the slimmer build.

There was a video where they first showed off the classic turtle figures, and the guy called tmnt fans "sewer heads"
He said in that vid that other version of the turtles could be on the cards if the 80s Classics sold well.

For me it's the other way around, it is the classic figures that lack the wow factor that is supposed to be there in a collectors line.

The nick figures are amazing, they only lack some detail paint to make that sweet sculpt pop.

Agreed. And a simple paint wash really fixed that problem.

Don't get me wrong, the classic figures are good, especially for playmates first attempt, but they aren't the super awesome figures I was hoping they'd be.
