Playmates TMNT at SDCC
 

Classics Shredder and Krang are bought on site.

I'm ecstatic about those new comic-based turtles! I've been hoping that Playmates would make figures of that incarnation of the turtles for quite some time.

I would be happy about the Classic Shredder and Krang, except that the first waves were such a hassle to find, and had such terrible QC issues (especially for $20 "collector" figures), that I've lost all interest in that line.

Also, I'm a little disappointed that the only Karai figure shown was the mutated serpent one. I haven't purchased many of the figures from the new animated series, but I was really hoping to get Karai, and the serpent version just doesn't appeal to me.

Ugh...Thank you and screw you Playmates for

A. Making all of these great figures! I'm super excited that classics Shredder is finally coming, Karai (in both forms no less!) is on the horizon along with Bebop and Rocksteady (who both look fantastic), and the Comic Version Turtles is a HUGE fan service, especially to those of us who missed out on the NECA line (which I did.) And as hard as it is for me to admit to it at times, I have a fetish for the playskool type figures (I used to RABIDLY collect Super Hero Squad...) and Halfshell Heroes looks AMAZING. I can't wait to mix these in with some of my SHS figures!

B. The pain my poor wallet feels at this moment. I now know the terror Splinter felt as he stared his serpent mutated daughter down the very first time...

Finally this Shredder! I needs it...I wants it.

Have the movie figures on the way from TRU and I have Bebop and Rocksteady waiting for a whooping. I love being a turtle...fan.

I like that they're also doing the classics pizza thrower. That thing was pretty sweet.

Looks like a great line up to me. ICE CREAM KITTY will be super exciting! I would like some more villain vehicles please!! Maybe stuff that would work with specific characters.

It might be the only one I pick up. I loved that thing back in the day.

I played the original Arcade game this week with my little boy. When Krang popped out in that bodysuit I immediately thought, "That thing looks utterly ridiculous...and I need a figure of it." Thank you Playmates!

Are they going to do any classic comic styled figures?

Uhm yes? They're doing the 4 turtles from the comic with the red bandanas.

They are indeed.
