They demand 20$ more for basic painting regular release toys should have.

Indeed.

I get this is more inline with the newer live action movies, but these bother me on a visual level, big time.

Turtles will survive this. No, it's not to my liking, but that's fine. I'm a 40yr old man. If a six year old loves it and wants toys, then it's serving it's purpose. I'll stick to my graphic novels and the 90's movie, and Out of the Shadows movie (which I like more than Secret of the ooze).

The CGI show looked ugly, but the toys looked better. Especially first release turtles which actually had organic look to them and looked nothing like that ugly 90's video games 3D with elephant toes.

Speaking of the new cartoon, I was so looking forward to that and being excited for classic animation again, only to be disappointed by that hipster garbage.

That's really unfair comparison. Animated had respect to it's source materiel and toys actually looked like the character designs. I thought of getting Mikey and Leo because they look like girls/new Venus in the cartoon design, lol. But of course, Playmates can't sculpt elongated characters to save their life, I mean look at the God awful Paladins from Voltron they made, yikes. I am not gonna buy anything from this toyline and terrible cartoon, I hope it fails hard.

I wouldn't be so sure about turtles surviving this, unless they quickly make new better series afterwards.

Between this and Thundercats Roar, collectors can be assured a few years of break from all the 80s nostalgia.

Tumblr/Hipsters hijack and ruin everything.

Eventually even TMNT will receive a backlash like Disney's Star Wars.....they will push the wrong things for the wrong reasons and then the fandom will be split then quit.

Amen for that!

The only person that's liked these designs is Pixel Dan, but he likes anything Playmates sends him.

The owner of Super 7 even called him out on it, during a NYCC interview when he kept calling him "my friend"

I'd love to see that interview with Super 7. lol.

As I like to call him Pixel Shill Dan. Him and Shartimus Prime are the biggest toy "reviewers" shills that get free toys and accesses to all conventions for being sell outs. So far, Retroblasting is probably the most honest toy reviewers I've seen, despite not reviewing many modern toys. Gaming Beaver and Matthew Brando also comes to mind.
