lol this is a big boost for my bat collection too

Thanks fro the pictures!

The articulation looks pretty good for the price point. That was my biggest concern.

Wonder if this is a limited series or if they plan to take this to several waves?
Would love penguin and a henchman, then two packs of inmates and their mutate form. Harley Quinn and hyena Quinn, Joker and Cobra Joker, mr freeze & freeze bear, and scare crow and crow form.

Those are pretty cool looking. I can't justify $50 for them, but they do look cool. Well except Donatello. He looks too skinny to me.

$25 a premium figure seems to be the "going rate" for most brand lines. Donatello seems to be channeling a bit of the "new bible" version of the character. He's so nerdy, he's thinner, socially awkward, and derpy looking.

Kinda like Raph is now an angry bully who is 'roided out.

There is an easy way to pass on them, and a hard way. The easy way to pass on them is to only get them if you find them in store.

If you are willing to order online, then you have the next 4 months or so to save up to pay off the order, so it's actually REALLY hard to pass, because these are flippin' amazing as both Batman AND TMNT figures.

Yup unfortunately thats true. I alwsys try to get them at the cheapest retail prices Walmart Marvel Legends at 16.73 or 18.87. Or Walgreens Dragon Stars 19.99 vrs 25 everywhere else.

I ordered the bundle, but I’ll probably get a 2nd shredder set, just to make a Bane/Supershredder hybrid.

I get that, but I just can't justify that much on them.

[juggernaut209]

These look great. I loved the movie and want at least some of these, but I don’t know if I will grab everything. I would have killed for this Shredder figure a few years ago, when there were no well articulated “collector” focused Shredders available. Since 2016 we’ve gotten video game, cartoon, and Mirage NECA Shredders, with a 1990 movie version on the way, and now this figure from DCC.

No prob. To each their own. For me, these are a better value for $25 a figure than the Marvel Legends two packs. I can’t believe Hasbro gets away with no accessories or nearly none.

I’d gladly pay $2 more a figure for a bunch of effects or weapons over a figure and a stupid build-a-figure part.

This shredder looks more like Turtles in Time shredder than the Neca version.

First review I've found for Mikey.

Gamestop cancelled my pre-order. Tried to re-order, coz it's still listed on the site, won't go through. Wonder if these got cancelled due to a lack of orders?

The 2 packs aren't canceled. I've already received a shipping notice for the Batman and Robin 2 packs and should have them on Wednesday.

But I'm not seeing any of my preorders on my account. I had the remaining TMNT sets and the new Star Wars game on preorder so it seems to be a problem with GameStop's system. I sent an email to GS customer service last Friday so hopefully I'll hear from them tomorrow.

How much are these?

I ordered the 5 pack. Reordered. Hopefully these stay put, or I will join the armies of discontent.

Thanks. Think I'll see how much the Turtles by themselves go for before I commit to any purchases. Other than maybe Batman not really interested in the DC characters.
