To the best of my knowledge to what we've been told, I haven't heard anything about the classics being online exclusives. They should be everywhere. I'm guessing they'd be sold right alongside the mainline, the same way Bandai did the 6" and 4" thundercats.

It's different for every store, and every company. And they're rarely on time. I remember working at walmart, I'd be waiting for days, sometimes weeks for a new mod to drop. And with my manager, I'd get in trouble for it, too.

Main/kid line. No Classics Shredder has been announced (Yet).

Has anybody seen the classic figures? Or just the new school ones? Also would like to find a pic of the large turtles.

D00MTR0N · 07-09-2012, 09:01 PM

the way distribution has been I am not holding my breath on seeing these anytime soon.

I know what the classics look like, but some arker mentioned that there's $25 large turtles for sale, and I just want to know if they're identical to their smaller counterparts just larger in scale, or even less articulation and or different sculpt ? but thanks for posting a pic, drool lol.

I really want those classic figures! So bummed I missed out when Figure of the Day had them up for retail last Friday. Oh well, I'll be on the look out! b_d

behindthemask · 07-09-2012, 09:42 PM

these are the figures I was talking about, they're 10-12'' I believe and have sounds, from what I can tell they're similiar in style, but the headsculpts are differnet and they have pupils painted and some weapons are painted while say the ring on Donatello's strap isn't painted, and not sure about the spring type arms.... hmmm

and just to keep the love going

Looks sick!!

Badass!

Crazy Jetty · 07-09-2012, 10:01 PM

Those large turtles look really bad compaired to their standard counterparts. Aside from heads and accessories, they're all the same mold, and have next to no articulation.
Looks like neck, shoulders, wrists, and hips and that's it. And looks like whatever action gimmick that spring does will limit the shoulder artic exclusively to the gimmick.

They look like a slightly nicer rotocast version compaired to normal rotocast, with a sound function ie probably 4-5 sayings. I'm wondering if the spring hinge withing the shoulder is synced to a button or switch on the back and move, or just limited articulation.

got the team together

ended up giving the nunchucks some chains, did some paint touch ups, and gave donny the bo staff from the NECA donny.

here's how i did it.
cut the plastic chains off leaving that nub, used a dremel with a small drill bit to get a hole in it, then drilled diagonally a bit from both ends to get a sorta V or U shape to better accept the rings. got this chain with jewels from Michael's and used the circular links from the jewel section and attached those to the nunchuck nubs then took a 5 link chain and attached it all together.

not perfect but got the job done and now i can put the nunchucks in the holsters without worrying about stressed plastic.

Robogeek28 · 07-10-2012, 03:06 AM

No one in my area has these guys yet. *sigh*

I was hoping my TRU would get them in before my $10 off a $50 purchase coupon expires but I'm starting to think that's not gonna be happening, ah well.

ersico · 07-10-2012, 04:32 AM

without starting a new thread, if anyone is willling to mule the sdcc shadow leo (tmnt) please let me know

chibluedemon · 07-10-2012, 04:37 AM

hey new to the forum, just want to let everyone know that bigbadtoystore is out of preorders for the 4 pack of retro figs. I think I got the last order. Hopefully my order gets filled. The figs look awesome

MegaPrime33 · 07-10-2012, 05:37 AM

These pictures are slowly changing my mind on these figures. It will be tough to decide.

I'm not sure if those are really the giant sized figures. I think they are just slightly bigger deluxe figures. Toysrus' comicon ad shows that they have 10 inch exclusive figures with weapon storage shells like the classic line. You can see it on the bottom right of ersico's last post.

Black Dynomite · 07-10-2012, 06:29 AM

That's dope. Ihad the same thought. What did you use? Sorry, I'm a customizing noob.

087-06-0494 for the Nick Figures.

I managed to pick up the 4 turtles, April and Shredder. Haven't opened them yet but they look great. Wasn't exactly a piece of cake to get them pulled from the back, but glad to have them nonetheless.

Not any time soon, but I'll get the Shellraiser Van for sure, and maybe even the playset. However, I might get the Ninja Stealth Bike when I see it, I really like the design a lot.

D00MTR0N · 07-10-2012, 06:52 AM

does shredder have that scar on his one eye like in the proto pics?

I don't see anything. What pic are you referring to?

Side note: Shredder's sword is too small for him to hold securely. Give him the sword from Leo's weapon sprue. Works better with him.
