Honestly people also underrated how much fatigue TMNT has surrounding it's media. There was a lot of it throughout the past decade, perhaps too much of it, and it long since started and has been fading away recently. Hopefully they give it a couple years before attempting a relaunch with a new cartoon or movie and just let the vintage fans take the franchise around for a spin for a little while to keep it warm.

I know some have to show, but this is way way too much and kinda lazy. What else does Playmates have to offer?

I know it's not a popular opinion, but like I think Mattel and Hasbro have shown it's wise of Playmates to not double down on a vintage line. Best to let NECA and Super7 take the risks with similar investments if their own rather than use up your own time and resources on a gamble.
