Considering how off the headsculpts are and how they aren't even the right colors... I gota wonder what Turtles you're remembering.

I don't get it. I'm not going to buy into this if aren't going to do more classics from the Comic line. I'm still waiting for Shredder and Krang.

Interesting. Not bad looking, but not anything spectacular either. Though definitely a bit surprising considering I thought Playmates had given up on trying anything collector oriented.
The additional heads and accesories are a nice, and somewhat surprising, addition. That said, the randome coloration of the Turtles themselves is... off-putting. The packaging is another surprise. Almost seems like they might actually be trying to improve. I mean, they really aren't, but it's a good half-assed attempt to look like it.

The comic coloring, the lack of movie skin texturing, lack of overall paint and the not so great head sculpts are going to keep me from buying these. I'll go with NECA 1/4 scale for my movie turtles fix.

They're not awful.
Depending on price, I may pick these guys up.

I like them! So far. If the scaling is right, the articulation is good, and the final paint apps are good, I may just get these and skip out on the s.h. figuarts line.

yeah, i think i'm done with playmates turtles. i'm more curious to see what neca does, and i'm more excited for the figuarts cartoon turtles. the extra accessories are a nice touch, but having their classic iterations, i don't have much interest in these. i much rather have seen them release shredder and krang.

Such wasted potential. I wish a company like Neca or Diamond were producing TMNT figures in this scale. The characters deserve better.

Already bought the first releases, the extra accessories are cool but not enough.

These figures are all wrong. They come with their signature weapons, when in the movie, outside of Donnie, the other turtles used everything and anything BUT their weapons.
It's not going to ruin my day or anything, but seeing these announced kinda pisses me off, especially when they left Shredder and Krang high and dry, as well as other important characters such as Casey, April, the Foot Soldiers, and Splinter. Once Human Karai releases, I'm done with Playmates TMNT in all forms. |

I really hope NECA shows them up good with whatever they've got in the works. Show Playmate's that they need to improve their game or give up.

I swore off Playmates for good. These are appealing due to accessories.
I do worry that these were rushed out to combat NECA and Figuarts who are making GOOD figures. I hope this does not deter NECA from making the 7" X-Mas TMNT. It feels this might be the NECA Comic TURTLES FIASCO ALL OVER AGAIN! Playmates are awful....AWFUL!!!! |

I am 90's follower of Ninja Turtles, still today I am impatiently waiting for TMNT 2 Movie because I have the respect for my Teenage Turtles. From Out of the Shadows I bought some movie Outfit's from "Sky-Seller online store" to wear for my first show.
