Got my foot tech ninja today....

I finally fund a foot tech ninja today(no nanobot tho), and he is now my favorite figure from this line. A lot better than my previous two favorite Casey, and Shredder.

I'll try to get a review up later today. (after the Pats, and Sox games )

Question... Is it exactly as the promo pics show it to be? As in, does it have the 'standard' leg articulation, or does it make use of the 'ball-joints' used in the first line?

My only concern is that the upcoming figures will essentially be statues...

That's really discouraging...

I mean, the upcoming figures really do look nice... And that's great, but I like to pose them around and generally enjoy them. The first wave was quite good for that, but it seems like Playmates is cheaping out and putting out 'bare-bones' figures instead.

I couldn't really get behind the old Hasbro Batman figures for precisely that reason. Leg goes up, arm goes up, head turns. Bored now.

Ahh well.

IMO, the best part of this figure is the fact that he's slightly clear, to give the "invisible" effect....

It is one of the best figures, but I hate how his legs are positioned.

Dunno if anyone besides me has the Nanotech Monster, but he's got these removeable parts that are kinda cool.

I remember reading they were supposed to have 32 points of articulation.

Sounds cool that they added a clear effect to the tech.

Just found the Foot Tech Ninja today also. Oddly enough, not one Nanotech monster. I can see where ball jointing would have been difficult on this figure, with the shoulder armor. But it's still a damn nice figure. And I was happy to see it still had more then the basic articulation. What with the elbow and wrist joints.

The worst figure by far is Hun, just thank the toy gods not all of them will be that static!

Oh FYI, saw the Nano, no foot tech, didn't pick him up.

I cannot get hun to stand for the life of me!! Him and Teela are usually laying down somewhere next to the rest of their set. -_-

My Hun actually fell and took out the Foot Clan single handedly the other day -_- I came home and saw the foot clan all on the ground. I was about ready to blame Casey Jones for it, but he was still standing! (Er.. Maybe he DID take them out.. yeah...)

Seriously, you can get Teela To stand??
