I hate to knock these figures, but I think the price just ruins them for me. All 4 would cost you $250 at cheapest. Plus, we've got so many choices for the turtles already. Playmates has done the 4 turtles to death. The only other figure is Shredder, and he has no release date set. Personally I'll wait and see what NECA releases. They released 12 TMNT figures in 2016, so odds are good that more are coming. However, I will buy any side character that SH releases; Casey Jones, Krang, Splinter, April, etc.
My advice to SH is to release Shredder ASAP! Having already released 2 different Shredders, NECA may beat them to it.

The articulation points don't bother me. I'd rather them be there and be super articulated than be more clean looking and not as articulated.

as for the price.. That's just the way it is with these types of figures. At this point that shouldn't really be a big surprise from figuarts. If playmates were charging that amount for one of their turtles, then yes, it's an issue.

The packaging? I couldn't really care less about packaging. If it's good, cool. If it's not good, oh well, I won't be displaying the packaging, I'll be displaying the figures.

I don't see a huge problem with the belts. The swords are supposed to be like this I believe..



The only real complaint I have is that I wish the green was darker. Otherwise I don't have too many complaints.

Sure, I think they should have a couple more accessories, but to be honest, that's not a huge deal to me. I think it would've made the price more acceptable to people, but oh well.

One of my favorite things about these are the hands. I'm so glad they don't have articulated fingers. Those playmates articulated fingers are a neat idea, but I'm not that big of a fan of them.

Anyways, hopefully the rest of them come out soon. I can't wait for them.

I hope shredder goes up for preorder soon. I also hope we get a proper bebop, rocksteady, and krang (with his android body). I think the playmates bebop and rocksteady can be decent placeholders, but I hope these sell well and we'll see more.
