Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows Figures at WonderCon

I'm sure these are just protos, or at least I hope so, because the paint jobs on all of them are incredibly lackluster and dull. The molds look really good though.

The paintjobs on prototypes are usually better, these are the final production figures. Playmates in particular loves to show promotional images with fully painted figures and cheap out on the actual releases.

I have seen all of the figures at a local TRU but they would not let me buy them. Someone put them out by mistake. Street date is April 10th. Anyway, this is standard Playmates. Shitty paint jobs and poor articulation. The 12" Bebop and Rocksteady were particularly dull, almost "faded". What I'm really pissed about is that they make the Krang android body the same size at the turtles. Again, typical Playmates....no scale consideration. I've just about had it with Playmates. Cheap SOB's.

Is... is that the whole Technodrome playset?

It's so... tiny. I dunno, I might just have nostalgia for the original Technodrome clouding my judgment. XD

Holy sh*t, these look awful.

That boring black Shredder also looks like a shrimp compared to the Turtles. It has gotten ridiculous that all the various versions of the turtles from Playmates, and a multitude of other companies, and no one has produced a decent Shredder. Especially since NECA (who was making first appearance comic figures) and Playmates (who were making classic cartoon figures) each showed off a Shredder prototype that never came out. An either Shredder would have been the best version ever made.

I also saw the entire line and all accesories at TRU in wilmington , nc last night. Me and my son grabbed few an dthey old me they couldnt be sold till the 10th, i asked for a manager and told him its YOUR fault they FULLY stocked them not mine he agreed and we bought basic leo, raphael, shredder, bebop and a talking rocksteady. They are fun, my son loves em. The cool thing is this time talking figures are in scale with basics, not quite as articutaled but pretty good and painted better like painted eyes and weapons. Made our easter much better to get these guys early!!!

I agree, what's the point of having so many turtles if they don't have anyone to fight with?! I'm already satisfied with my first edition nick turtles(the ones who doesn't look like the cheap 3D animation) and my neca Michelangelo from the comics. I heard in NYTF there is a good chance will see Shredder and Krang from s.h.figuarts. I bet they will be very accurate, however far more expensive and fragile then the unreleased playmates ones:/. I would also like to see an adult collector version of Casey Jones, April Oneil and the triceratops from the 2003 TMNT. I notice the new movie figures have more articulation then the regular nick series, almost like the turtles! So, at least you get something insted of having neither paint nor articulation.I think those figures are nice, but it's unlikely I will buy one. The Technodrome is a big time let down, it look like silly stand for krang. I wish the nick line release giant impressive Technodrome like the awesome secret sewer lair playset.

These do look bad. I even saw the 12" bebop at Walmart and they didn't even paint his eyes. Just facial hair. Terrible

I have seen zero sightings of OotS figures. In fact, the coloring and easy reader books I saw today were the first merch I've ever seen for this movie.
