It doesn't look that great to me. I wish they would have gone with one of the more humanoid version's of the character. Oh well, at least Usagi is looking cool.

Well, there's a lot of figures I wanted of Baxter. That thing certainly wasn't one of them though. But I'll still buy it, maybe even more than one so I can do customs with the Utrom body. That headsculpt for Baxter is awful though, this is the first time I think Playmates really missed on the new line(though the Splinter head wasn't that great either).

TMNTGal · 04-14-2004, 01:31 AM

Absolutely hideous!

Even though I'm a completist, I'll be skipping this thing. Looks like I'll have to make a custom instead.

*Roseangelo* · 04-14-2004, 07:05 AM

eeh... yeah, I'll be skipping this, too.

I woulda bought labcoat Baxter, though. And they think people wouldn't want that. :p

*Taloniss* · 04-14-2004, 07:27 AM

EWW. I'll pass.

Skabbz · 04-14-2004, 07:35 AM

that thing looks stupid

bufo · 04-14-2004, 08:30 AM

That sucks, I hope this is a joke...that is truly ugly

OA · 04-14-2004, 08:37 AM

wow...that is really, really horrible! I mean, what were they thinking. Talk about toon inaccurate....they could have made so many cool versions of stockman...what a miss by Playmates...

Shadow the hedgehog · 04-14-2004, 08:43 AM

That figure isnt worth my cash...

coryroo24 · 04-14-2004, 08:51 AM

hopefully a lot of things change with this figure

*Chris* · 04-14-2004, 09:29 AM

Ok that looks REALLY BAD, but here's the good news:

From Playmates:
Here is the latest on Stockman Spider Robot and on Usagi...
Stockman will be revised for sure and Usagi could be, but I think he is well on his way.

And here's the link where that came from:

Hopefully he'll look a LOT more like one of his TV versions before he's released, but hopes for a human version seem to be for nothing as I can't see playmates revising him that much

bufo · 04-14-2004, 09:55 AM

The Usagi one is still in his early stages, but he already looks like just what I want

*BigApple3AM* · 04-14-2004, 10:15 AM

I think the Baxter figure looks fine. Sure it's not the human baxter which I would much have preferred, but at least we're getting baxter. Like someone said we can take his head off and put it on an utrom body or something.

Usagi is looking great! The only problem I see with him is his pose. The pose makes it look like he won't have much articulation like the Casey Jones figure for example.

E-money · 04-14-2004, 10:24 AM

I don't know what is worse, paying $5.50 for this crappy junk figure of Baxter or $100 for a large crappy mold of ultamate turtles?!?!?! Downhill already Playmates? Last time it took 10 years for your Turtle series to hit the toilet.

darthsmozers · 04-14-2004, 03:43 PM

its for children, people, children!

Y2Bogus · 04-14-2004, 05:01 PM

I've seen worse toys and bought them.

*Zachatello00* · 04-14-2004, 09:41 PM

I think it's cool. Took me awhile, just like the Utrom Shredder idea. It'll grow on ya.

Playmates bashers, take it somewhere else. We've gotten great toys from these guys for the last sixteen years.

*Spitfire* · 04-14-2004, 10:47 PM

Im a fan of the show bent on collecting but Im not buying that....its just to retarded

I'm sorry, but I have to WORK to get my things now. $5.50 is just under an hour of work for me, and I'm not going to waste my money on a figure that, IMHO, looks beyond bad.

And since I want this line to be GREAT, I'm going to say when I think they're messing it up. I would also think, that they'd realize that if a die-hard collecter like TMNT Gal is going to pass on this that they got it wrong. Hopefully they'll fix it, otherwise they're arn't getting my cash for this one.

The only think that I'd like about it, is if you can reattach his arms and things. Sorta make your own figure. But even then, the figure needs a make over, big time, before I'm gonna even think about getting it.

milweskee · 04-15-2004, 01:28 AM

Wow, I haven't been here in a while. All this new stuff. I'm astounded by that Baxter Stockman figure. Playmates has to know better than that. I don't even think children are stupid enough to buy something like that.
