TMNT 2012 Figures Starting To Hit Retail

Robogeek28 · 07-22-2012, 12:55 PM

I'm kicking around the idea of buying a Kraang figure to use as Krang. The only thing preventing me right now is that underarticulated exoskeleton of his.

I still wish Shredder and the foot soldiers had more artic as well.

Can the brain come out of the Kraang body?

That's the only question that's got me waiting.

NoodleChow · 07-22-2012, 01:14 PM

yup, watched a review on it. removable and it's hollow from the bottom and is made from a squishy rubbery type of plastic.

if the foot had swivel hinged knees and elbows, i'd have bought a few for sure. as is, gonna wait for a sale or something and add in those joints.

I curse you Playmates for being difficult but I love you for getting these things right.

Yeah it's a pain in the arse, I had the whole range pre-ordered with BBTS for Scarlett's christmas presents this year as the UK won't get them till next year (If we see them at all lol) but they cancelled orders before launch.

Surely Canada should get them pretty soon,

I'm not sure. Guess it depends on if the TV is airing here and I'm not sure about that. I canceled cable a few months ago.

He pops out, and he immediately joined my 4 inch shelf of bad guys, minus his robot body, of course.

Does anyone know if playmates will be releasing more 6" Retro/Classic TMNT characters? I preordered the 4 Turtles but would really love more characters, would be cool for them to release 4 characters in each wave but would only care for like 4 waves.

WAVE 2:
a) Splinter
b) Shredder
c) April
d) Foot Soldier with Mouser (Army Builders Dream)

WAVE 3:
a) Casey Jones
b) Bebop
c) Rocksteady
d) Usagi Yojimbo

WAVE 4:
a) Krang in Android
b) ????? <-----------WHO WOULD YOU PUT HERE?
c) Rat King
d) Baxter Stockman

LUCKYDUBE · 07-22-2012, 08:04 PM

Venus de Milo Should have never been made into a character!

Lol Pizza face is one of the weirdest characters ever created. The dude who dreamed him up had to be on meth.

LXL_Guy · 07-22-2012, 10:07 PM

Horrible...one of the TRUs I hit today had none of the turtles. Guess I'll have to wait on them still.

trebleshot · 07-23-2012, 08:51 AM

Found Raph over the weekend and hopefully I will eventually get all four and their van. But it's nice to at least have my favorite Turtle even if I don't get the rest.

DarkestKnight · 07-23-2012, 09:37 AM

Been going on a bit of a mad Turtle buying spree, I picked up the all the individual figures (along with a second foot soldier), the Stealth Bike, and the Shellraiser. Haven't had the time to sit there and open them though.

Let us know what you think of the bike when you open it. I'm on the fence.

Snowflakian · 07-23-2012, 02:02 PM

I really want a Karai and Venus in the new line. Well as long as they have as much articulation as the turtles.

Speaking of which. TRU here completely sold out. I went back to pick up Leo, Raph, and Mikey today finally and they were barren except for vehicles. Had them check nearby stores and the only stores that still had them were out in the boonies over an hour away. In this heat(102F)? Hell no! I'll just wait until shipping day. xD

evilanimation · 07-23-2012, 03:16 PM

I have an extra set including Shredder, April, Krang & Splinter, these are going back to target since i got them cheaper online from TRU.com

Screamer52488 · 07-23-2012, 07:14 PM

My TRU has also been sold out for 2 weeks but they tell me they have 2100 figures on order so keep checking back on truck day (Wed). Here's to hoping its this week.

Shin Densetsu · 07-23-2012, 09:08 PM

I would love to see Wingnut and SHOGUN LEO make it to the Classics line! I hope the Classics line has long legs and that the 5" line does well. These are fun toys, but I hope Playmates realizes that for kids, once they realize that the villains and side crew aren't as articulated as the turtles, they will probably not buy them. I had the same mentality when I was a kid.

Pros From Dover · 07-24-2012, 10:20 AM

DAMNIT!

These things FINALLY hit my TRU and they are picked clean before I can get there.

I was trying to get these things by Friday to give to my wife for our wedding anniversary.

Screw you TRU.

They're all $11-$12 each on Amazon with free super saver shipping (or Prime if you're a member) on orders over $25, so you can probably get them before Friday if you order today.

Any finds here in Chicago?

bball831 · 07-24-2012, 04:35 PM

go to TRU. Tell them you want to order the figures and have them shipped to your house. They will ship them for free if you order at TRU from the customer service desk. I did that and got mine in three business days for $35.96, all 4 turtles.
