Then why can't another company make them? If Playmates wants to do just kids geared stuff, so be it! I won't buy any of it. If there done with collectors then some other company should be able to make figures. I'm sick of Playmates toys company running the TMNT world. They didn't create the turtles! These master toy licenses are a joke anymore IMO Companies like this just crap all over us, they obviously don't care about collectors.

I don't want to completely discredit them. I really liked the 80s cartoon classics. First time I've looked forward to a Playmates toy in a couple decades.
They just seem stupid for going on "Hiatus". Playmates(surprisingly)did a good job on these sculpts, even the Shredder and Krang. While not in 6" scale, it was still nice to have 6" classic TMNT.
