Elite Guard

Savanti Romero · 11-29-2003, 10:20 PM

This is the first new TMNT figure I am not pleased with. He can't move, and seems to big. He looks good, but he just doesn't have the play value, like the new Armor Turtles.

The Elite from the Next Mutation figures was the opposite to me. He didn't look as good as this one, but he moved really well. In my opinion they should have kept the look, but added some joints (like the joints the Armor Turtles have).

Meh, I don't really care if he has play value or not....Just as long as he looks show accurate, which he doeas, IMO, he's fine with me.

I would have liked a little more detail to the figure and ball jointed shoulders.

But all the upcoming figures seem to be this way.
With arms only able to move up and down.

body too tall, hands to small, hat dont fit, action features suck ****.

(every thing else good)

*PizzaPower* · 11-30-2003, 11:38 AM

kj6754 · 11-30-2003, 11:56 AM

its a cool figure. i don't care about playing with it. i just display my figures. although putting your figures in different poses is fun too(marvel legends

)

*PizzaPower* · 11-30-2003, 11:58 AM

elit foot ninja is not the best they have made but it still kicks shell.

MTN889 · 11-30-2003, 11:58 AM

GOT DAM i want it im waiting for the best day of the year: XMANS!

*PizzaPower* · 11-30-2003, 11:58 AM

yup so do I.

*VaughnMichael* · 11-30-2003, 02:05 PM

my thoughts on it....well I peronaly like the next mutation figure more it's more like the original City At war pics and style if you ask me then the new one....but the new ones ok I just keep reminding myself that these new toys wont have much detail because they are mased off of cartoons and not comic book or detailed drawings.....the only thing thats kinda bad on this new one in my opinion is the arms are way to long it just looks funny.....because well just think about it it's arms are bent on the toy if they wernt he'd be all ape like with nuckle draging action lol....
but it is still more apealing to me then the Foot Gunner toy....he's just to dull looking....

I think, even if you don't play with your toys, they need to have play value so the target group (kids) will want more and more money will be spent on the TMNT.

And this one does. Hence the action feature. Kids nowadays don't really care about how well a figure moves as long as it has a cool action feature. Kids like that stuff.

Savanti Romero · 12-02-2003, 04:29 PM

Not I. When I was a kid I played with figures that could move the most. One of my favorites I had was the Mutating Mike. He bent in many places and was very smooth. Not that I noticed this then, but I now realize that had to have been the reason since I rarly mutated him to the baby. Other toys with no joints I would get as presents, open them, and probably never play with. I love the Next Mutation Elites movement, even if he's got a little shirt.

Straight-Edge · 12-03-2003, 07:09 AM

Savanti,

Tat's exactly why cqb said "kids today". You are not a "kid today", you're older. What you liked as a kid is *not* what a kid today would like, or so goes cqb's theory.

Personally, I do think the arms are kinda long, but I'm still getting four of them.

*cqb101* · 12-03-2003, 07:34 AM

Does anybody have any good opened pics of the elite guard from TNM?

And the only thing I dislike about the new one is his chimpanzee arms.

I know I'm not a kid anymore (well I sorta am) I'm only 17, so the days I played with the toys wasn't that long ago. Besides that I do have a little brother. He is in the toy playing stage and he loves those cheap fake GIO Joes for no other reason except their incredible movement. They look stupid, but they can move in all the joints. He also loves the new Armor Turtle Figures, which move well also.

I do have photos of an opened Elite Foot from TNM but I can't host them to post!

I can e-mail them to you if you want.
