Total shame they chose to discontinue the Classics line. I like the Nick show but the figures don't do much for me. THough I will say this is a cool gimmick.

This would have been the perfect time to hvae done a comic book Shredder and April to go with the turtles.

Dude I'm right there with ya. I was so hoping we might get a b&w Mirage Shredder. Would of brought a tear to me eye ;)

Instead we get what looks like a clearance figure. Even the old versions weren't popular. It's sad that Playmates abandoned there classics line. With this crappy SDCC exclusive, I think the remaining TMNT fans wanting classics should abandon Playmates. Playmates Toys make kids toys, period. They're perfect for kids, but they don't want collector business, so let's just forget about them. Plenty of child friendly websites can promote them but I personally don't care if I hear about them anymore. We build our hopes up and we get garbage like this. Playmates should strongly consider sub licensing TMNT to NECA.

On the plus side, this makes me want that First Gokin Shredder even more.

Didn't they make black and white versions the past couple of years? I wonder why they would switch to this...
