Yeah, I definitely saw this coming, and the fact that these are just Page Punchers are troubling....because that means there will be far more detailed and comic accurate TMNT coming via Mcfarlane's more premium lines...

But somewhere I have to draw the line, can barely keep up with S7 and NECA...

Curious if this means 5 inch scale or 5 inch turtles.

Guess Loyal Subject lost the license.

This actually makes me more curious now - as to what I.P. McFarlane is going to scramble to pick up now that DC is going back to Mattel.

They also announced the return of Mortal Kombat - new wave seems to be inspired by MKII.

Does Loyal Subjects have rights to certain scale? That kinda sucks as they have been the primary supplier of IDW-style TMNT....unless McFarlane takes over.

The problem is that McFarlane's typical liberties with design don't really fit into what I like. I like "reference material", for the most part. The only McFarlane toy line I've ever been drawn into was Wave 1 of Spawn back in '92 or whatever it was, and I did bite on a small collection of his current DC stuff.

The thing he does get right are the offerings. The "artists designs" and the "storyline designs". But it's the fact that he offers them, not the fact that they ever truly look the part. And his previous decades of "posable statue toys" never made sense to me. At all. Even the articulation resulted in weird arm and leg cuts because his "toys" never looked good when you posed them outside of the native stance. All-in-all it's actually a ridiculous "toy company" until recently.

Damn, these don't look bad so far. With so many turtle figures I don't think I'll be getting anything unless they impress me a lot.

Looking forward to a proper IDW Shredder figure. Hopefully it’s 6/7” scale

At this point there's so much stuff out there that I'm just going to stick with what adheres as closely to "reference material" as possible. It's the easiest way to reset your brain and cut through the noise out there.

God I hope these are actually 5" scale now so they could at least fit with the Playmates turtles unlike the Loyal Subjects line.

Technically those Turtles would be IDW.
