I see what you did there. But I will admit the thought had crossed my mind as well.
Well, they do look a little like Tunnel Rat from G.I.Joe ARAH. Does that count?

Which is why I could never get into the original Playmates line too much. I just couldn't stomach all those ridiculous variants. And it's the reason I won't be getting the Ooze or "Splinter Cell" versions now. But I will say the Universal Monsters versions from back in the day were pretty funny.
Btw, I hope Mondo Gecko gets a Classic figure. Next to the 4 turtles, he's my favorite character. EDIT: You guys keep mentioning the Rat King, but I can't seem to find a picture of him. Wait a minute. Wtf, he's that blindfolded undertaker? Oh well... Last edited by Optimus Neeson; 01-22-2013 at 02:36 PM.. |

Yes, that's Rat King. In the character descriptions at some con or another, he was explained as having been designed as how a malnourished dude living underground would actually look.

Cell- a quasi independent group or division. Like a terrorist cell, or special/covert ops cell.
Word play from the popular game Splinter Cell, which everyone's been calling the "Special ops" dressed turtles. Not biological cell that contains DNA.

wait... how did that end up on page two, when there was still only one when I replied?
Sorry, didn't realize you were joking. Didn't read like that, at least not to me.

To me it looks like the new Shredder has a second head and not a removable helmet; it looks like the eyes are sculpted onto the helmet. At least that is what I can tell from the kinda ca-ca pic. Also, it looks like he has more articulation, or at least the hip joints are different from the first release. I really hope they add more articulation to the Shredder, the lack of it on the first release held me back from buying the figure (as well as all the other non-Turtles).

I certainly agree it could have used more articulation (knees would have been nice. Maybe a thigh swivel too). But the first version is still good for static, ominous poses like having the Turtles look up at the top of a building where they see Shred-head glaring down at them, surrounded by Dogpound, Fishface and an army of Foot Soldiers....

These look amazing, and I must have all of them in multiple copies!

So I am excited about all the villains. TMNT is looking like it will be having a good year.

No, TMB Preacher isn't blind and corpse-y. But he is old and withered, which resembles the toy more so than the design sketches. It could just be me, though.

I'd have to go back and check him out. It's been years since I've played that. I do remember the events of that games' endings pretty vividly though.

Peaugh has a review of the Pizza Box Playset:
Twisted Metal Black. And IMHO, the best iteration of the Twisted Metal video game series. They were basically doing Death Race long before Jason Statham got yet another action franchise.

Anyway, back to Turtles, I'm actually kind of disappointed that those baby Turtles are in 2-packs likely for regular figure price when the previous baby Turtles pack was all 4 for the price of one. Then again that was 10 years ago and it was only like $6 (sigh) Collecting is getting so bleeding expensive.

I wouldn't say it's his franchise since he's not even in the second or third films. Plus it's a reboot/remake; the original came out in the 70's. But you're right, Black is the best one, and I really was hoping they'd take the same angle for the PS3 game; according to my brother (a bigger TM fan than myself), it was utterly disappointing.
And that's not to say I don't like his movies. Most of the ones I've seen with him in it have been quite entertaining. Quote:

I have seriously considered buying Tech Deck skateboards for my turtles. They are the perfect scale, but the problem is that I know I will probably never display them with their boards, and I want to repaint the undersides with super 80s radical motifs, but I don't have the right kind of creativity to come up with believable 80s campiness.
What say ye? They're super inexpensive. I can get like 4 for $6. |

Well... graphitti style was big in the eighties. Could always get an airbrush and write things like "Gnarley" "Radical" and "Chet" (That was a big call out to someone in the archie comics... "Chet" was always spraypainted on a wall in backgrounds)

Just look at all the 80s nuttiness here: http://www.skateboardingmagazine.com...s-skateboards/ I think that page is a fantastic reference. It will help a lot. Last edited by Optimus Neeson; 01-26-2013 at 06:45 PM.. |

Just look for some 80's looking graffiti on Google, and then shrink it down to the size you need, cut it out with a razor blade or exacto knife, and use it as a stencile to spraypaint over. Simple, easy, no creativity needed.

Chet was just a big running gag in the franchise, altogether. For example, it's the name of the boy who bought the turtles as pets. Chet is also (a) name of an important character in the IDW comic, currently. The Mirage guys said at some point that they kept sticking the name randomly into the series because they just liked the name.
