Sweet. I'll be damned if those figs don't bring back sweet sweet memories of days long forgotten.

malignant · 09-30-2003, 09:07 PM

yeah..those look cool. Specially the turtle ones..they look wicked...

shredder though?..heh...midget shredder...

TMNTGal · 09-30-2003, 09:21 PM

They should have created completely new designs instead of slightly changing the originals. They look almost exactally like the old line of Mutatin'. They're still very cool though.

**Machias Banshee** · 09-30-2003, 09:57 PM

*blinks* Did Shredder get shrunk?

*VaughnMichael* · 09-30-2003, 10:53 PM

well I know I will still get them all
but this does make a me a bit dissapointed in playmates
taking the easy way out once again...
I agree with tmntgal I realy wish they would have used new sculpts...
these are the exact same toys from the 90's
the turtles do look better
shredder looks terrable...I loved the old mutain' shredder *hugs him*
and wow ok I have to adit I like this new robotic foot soldier allot more then the old one...that new head is awsome hmm if that even is a foot soldier
thatd be nice if they put some robots into the show also...would freak the tmnt out if they cut one of them and they blew up lmao
over all not bad but not good either...
I so cant wait for the official proto pics this week
I'd just die if it was baxter or some one we've all been waiting for!!

i think that shredder is a fluke, because the other one looks normal and tall. i think the picture just got messed up. i dont think anything is wrong with the figures. man ill get everyone of these. this is so awsum

*VaughnMichael* · 10-01-2003, 12:08 AM

nothing is realy wrong with them
there just a dissapointment
because I allready own them
from the first time playmates brought them out but being a hardcore tmnt figure collector I wil have to own them so I'm not bitching to much ^_~
still say the foot soldier is the best but would still like to see how there gonna explain that one lol

I just know they are going to go too far with the toys again.

*Skeletoncrew* · 10-01-2003, 01:04 AM

Hee hee! Fun stuff! Personally I really want to see a regular Saki figure as well as a Baxter figure.

**Barkworm** · 10-01-2003, 02:02 AM

That Shredder looks... absolutely...disgusting...

*mikey0* · 10-01-2003, 07:54 AM

Brings back a lot of sweet memories.

Dinny · 10-01-2003, 10:17 AM

The Foot Ninja is almost exactly the same as the old 1, besides, colour...and...posture...
And Shredder looks like a short, fat dwarf

Shellfox · 10-01-2003, 10:47 AM

Well I give them points for altering the shredder and Foot toys but they need to add something to the Turtles, atleast new accerories cause those look like the weapons that have come with the other Turtles toys, they could at least give us the Mutating weapons that went with them

E-money · 10-01-2003, 11:08 AM

What is this crap? Are they serious? Well, time for history to repeat it's self!?!?!

Not only are they using the same damn parts of the old figures but this is just a damn waist of money. They probably think all of the TMNT collectors are gonna buy this knowing they will buy anything. These wont be worth squat. I'm dissapointed actually. I'm having enough trouble in college with no job affording these figures and now I gotta dish out money for something that I already bought full price 10 years ago. Now, I know what your thinking....don't buy these....however, I am trying to get everything from Playmates that I can from TMNT this time.....unlike last.....bah...

I really like the foot ninja/ foot scientist figure but that's about it.....

*Jephael* · 10-01-2003, 11:38 AM

I might get Mutatin' Leo and Raph from this line since I only have Mutatin' Mike and Don from the original toy line.

Aaron · 10-01-2003, 12:01 PM

I don't really care about the Turtles but I will DEFINETLY get Shredder and the Foot Soldier.

YEAH, I was like "Waitaminute...did that say "Mutating TMNT figures!?". I never had the original Mutatin' Foot Soldier, so I'll totally buy 1 or 5 of this one (especially since it can probably stand up better then the new Foot Soldier figure).

That's exactly what I thought when I saw him.

::nods:: Yeah, but they did alter the molds, so that's got to count for something right? I mean, in the case of the Foot Soldier, they kinda had to change it cause I don't think the foot soldiers are robots in the new show. Although the toy in the picture does appear to still have robotic designs on him, so maybe they are robots?

Out of the old Mutatin' figures, I only own Rocksteady, Bebop, Splinter, Mikey & Don. I don't own the others either because I could never find them, or because they came out when I stopped buying TMNT toys (the last new, normal figure I ever got was Halfcourt, which was in the last quasi-normal wave of figures).

So will I be buying these new ones? Yes & No. I'll buy the Shredder & multiples of the Foot Soldier (I loves me huge amounts of troop figures

), but probably only get Leo & Raph of the mutation ones.

::nods:: I looked at the old mutatin' Foot Soldier on the tmnt website & the new is basically the exact same thing, except this one doesn't have the turtle-shell guards on it's wrists ( I don't think).

Hee-hee, I remember those.

Say, didn't Raph's sai's mutate into forks or something?

I think it's already repeating itself, what with TMNT being back on TV & in the toy stores again.

I'm a TMNT collector & I don't buy everything they make. I've yet to buy those Sports Gear turtles, & my latest TMNT figure purchase was on friday & it was Casey Jones.

Hey, no one is twisting your arm duder, you don't have to buy anything you don't want to- it is a free country after all. If you already own all of these mutating TMNT figures then don't waste your money. But people like myself, who for some reason or another, missed out on them in the original toyline, we'll be buying them.

::nods:: Hey, that's understandable dude. I remember a bunch of figures I never got to get back in the old line & I'm still kicking myself for it. But, since these figures are kinda like resculpted-re-releases of the orignal mutatin' TMNT figures you can probably go without them as you already own them. Remember, you control your buying, not Playmates. They can't control your mind (at least I don't think they can...) so you buy whatever you like. If anything though, I'd buy the new mutatin' Foot Soldier as you can never have enough foot soldiers to beat up on, plus this one can change his head & that's pretty cool.

Oh, is that what the head is from? So, the scientists are the foot soldiers too?? Curse you playmates and your trickery!

Best day of my life. And yes, I have a sad sad life

I've wanted my original Mutatin' figs back ever since they got tossed, and now i get 'new' ones ^_^.
