Premium DNA Battletoads Wave 1 Update

Wheeljack · 04-11-2021, 03:51 PM

I honestly gave up hope of ever seeing more of these, but here are new images of the first wave of Premium DNA's Battletoads figures.

Zitz:

Porka Pig:

Rat Skeleton:

General Vermin:

They're quite impressive. I mean, they're not Figma or Hot Toys levels of quality, but they look promising.

It's a shame that with Megalopolis' legal troubles we may never see these arrive, but there's always hope they will see the light of day.

I guess these will be at bbts as well. Premium DNA seems to be full steam ahead. I need product in my hands though before I commit to anything else. Mad balls look great but if they have issues in hand that will sour me. The expectation on mad balls is high, so I expect them to deliver. They know their future hinges on them.

Are these new images? They just look like the main image from the reveals a couple weeks ago without the background...

TheBlueMarvel · 04-11-2021, 04:30 PM

Why does General Vermin have more articulation than the rest? Are the extra 2 points butterfly joints?

I hope they come through in the end.

Where?

TheBlueMarvel · 04-13-2021, 05:07 AM

Here, but with the correction of: Why does Zitz have two fewer points of articulation?

Thank you so much for sharing this one!! ^^

Also, is the General Vermin figure wearing the "Battletoads punching me in the groin." expression?

The head with the wide eye and skewed mouth is indeed the "punch me in the groin" expression

How do they scale with ultimate tmnt, my plan is to have them all on the shelf together.

SpasticPlastic · 04-13-2021, 08:24 PM

First thing I thought was, "Why are his legs shaped so weird?". Then I realized that he has spots that are kind of blending in with the background. Derp.

The Toads themselves stand 6 inches, the biggest figure in this wave so far being General Vermin at 12 inches.

Kinda like certain species of real toads when you think about it.

Premium DNA Tweeted yesterday that they fixed the eyes on Zitz.

Awesome!! ^^ So, any hints as to who the even bigger figure is?

ghostbogey · 04-19-2021, 02:41 AM

We can only...
See if DNA delivers....
I hope so....
The figs are sweet...

AWCramer · 04-19-2021, 04:03 PM

Final reveal!

Wheeljack · 04-19-2021, 04:17 PM

They all look amazing!! ^^ A little trivia about General Slaughter in the Battletoads arcade game; His mooing sound effect was recycled for the character Rabid Rudolph in stage 2.

Are those prices in USD? (I'm Canadian)

Also, this is embarassing, but I registered for Wholesale, but I didn't know it was meant for retailers. Is there a way I can get rid of my Wholesale account?

It is USD.
Pop them an email I'm sure they can sort it out

Done.

Aww, that means at least $60 CAD for one of the Toads. Hopefully they'll still be available for the Holiday season.

Did you get sorted out dude?

BBTS has the Battletoads on preorder now!
As with Shocker toys before Premium DNA... at least when BBTS gets them in stock, we'll get them in hand.
I still kick myself for cancelling the BBTS Shocker Toys Dick Tracy and Tick figures. At least I have the Strangers in Paradise Katchoo from GoHastings.
I ordered the Madballs Horn Head to see what Premium DNA's quality is in hand. I didn't grew up on Barnyard Commandos, I like Horn Head best since he fits in as a more generic monster not wearing special clothes.

I've been wanting Battletoads

action figures for a few decades now.
Funny how this stuff goes now we finally have all 4 TMNT Punk Frogs from NECA, Battletoads show up!

If it makes you feel any better, Shocker's Dick Tracy was garbage, Mezco has one coming out that should be pretty great, even if it is 80+ dollars haha

Really cool looking figures that I dont have any nostalgia for,thankfully lol. Cause these are expensive!
