Wal-Mart was blowing Mutant Mayhem toys out for CHEAP. Basic figures were as low as $4 around here.

The head dropping MM Turtles are hitting Targets and the newest wave of mix and match. It all kind of blends together on the pegs.

>>11443963
i appreciate that they respect our intelligence enough to just lay out the props like "here, this is what we're selling" but additional images of this stuff assembled and in use would be appreciated.. the smaller stands with the individual surfboards, the big wave with what I can only assume is one they can all use together...

>>11443971
i worry sometimes about kids growing up in this bitch of a time, but at least they'll have something resembling fun to play with.

oh hey, they did head-droppin again.

>>11443971
I just found Ray Fillet at my local WM, but it wasn't on sale. I already grabbed all the $4 ones and the $8 2packs a while ago. They have stocked any of the newer retro movie and sports figs though.

>>11443958 (OP)
>We all hated Rise
>Mutant Mayhem isn't any better
>More Neca-nostalgia variants
Being a TMNT fan feels like suffering these

>>11444321
on one hand, yeah. a depressed Peter Laird sold a beloved, homebrewed franchise to the devil and it has sucked ever since
on the other hand, the neca movie line, neca toon line, super7 classic toy line... okay, two of those are clearly winding down, but.. look at the licensed and unlicensed thirdparty weird stuff. turtles are getting ATTENTION
not 'someone 3d printed up replacement weapons' attention, but attention
>>11444336
this is supposed to be Shadow or whoever?

so what were the purpose of the soft heads on the old TMNT figs? wasn't that significantly more expensive to make part of the figure in a different material from the rest? For no real benefit I can think of.

>>11444336
The figure's been out, it looks great. What's the point of this post?

new joy toys if you're into that thing

Well they're all hot. Yeah, I may have to get these. If I can. Fucking who knows anymore with tariff shit.

>>11444560
Well yeah, these are hands-down the best TMNT figures out right now. Sorry NECA, Playmates, etc. (and I’m an avid collector of all the other lines).

>>11444560
>>11444561
>>11444565
Meh, too pricey and shitty scale. Sticking with NECA.
>>11444584
>they’re all hot
You have a weird definition of hot.
>>11444597
>these are hands-down the best TMNT figures out right now
You’d be wrong then.

>>11444602
Objectively speaking, for the price and what you get included with each figure makes them a higher value for your money. Additionally, the pace that they’re releasing new characters is a much higher turnaround than most of the major companies handling this license at the moment. But, sure - tell me how I’m wrong.

>>11444608
>30-40 a figure
>tiny, shitty scale nobody uses anymore
>weird designs that aren’t always faithful to the source material
Yeah, no. I’d rather spend my money on a NECA figure that is around the same price and comes with just as many accessories and is a much bigger size that scales with much more stuff. Even if I was into 1/18, Star Wars TVC is like $16.99. They’re inflating their prices for no reason.

>sticking with N*ca

>>11444597
>these are hands-down the best TMNT figures out right now.
No, they aren't

>>11444617

Trump is a big one.

>>11444597
>1/18
Dead Scale

>>11444624
Very much an alive and thriving scale.

>>11444608
Objectively speaking, they're better attempts at TMNT than what Super7 was doing copying Playmates. But that's really it. Claiming they're the best is absurd. They're nice for the scale. That's all.

>>11444608
>is a much higher turnaround than most of the major companies handling this license at the moment
Who? Super7 is dead, Playmates doesn't even try and shits out a load now and then that nobody cares about. Neca is still dumping out more and more than anyone else. Joytoy is still playing catch up.

>>11444635
>Playmates doesn't even try
They don't need to when they shaped so many childhoods and made the most definitive toys of the 80s that everyone still loves to this day.

>>11444637
This. The vintage figures will continue to live on in our hearts forever. NECA, super7, and now JoyToy are nothing compared to those vintage originals.

>>11444642
Fuck off Retrospammer, you aren't clever.

I’ve been collecting TMNT for decades at this point, and I don’t get the same feeling opening up the regular TMNT stuff as I do the JoyToy figures. To each their own.

>>11444653
Okay? You basically said this already. >>11444597
Seems like you’re just trying to stir shit up.

>>11444560
>>11444561
>>11444565
Hell yeah I’m all in on this line

>>11444565
I want Dirtbag to burp in my face and make me sniff his armpits.

>>11444560
I don’t exactly like rahzar having mange but I guess there is no other character they can reuse the body for otherwise?

>>11444656
But enough about NECA.

>>11444727
No Necanon, I am talking joytoy. I’m out of neca now because they’re doing comic shit and tertiary characters I don’t want. This is the new hotness for me.

>>11444735
>they’re doing comic shit and tertiary characters I don’t want
Characters people have been asking for for years? Yeah, okay. Sounds like you’re just not a real fan.

>>11444735
You sound like a pussy bitch, no lie.

>>11444746
>>11444775
pipe down Necanon

>>11444788
Thanks for adding nothing to the thread just so you could shitpost.

>>11444795
Speak for yourself Necanon. I said I had no interest in a toy and you chose to take it personally.

>>11444797
Funny how you think everyone is "necanon" just because you get your panties in a twist.

>>11444807
You have an extremely distinct posting style whether or not you realize it. I suggest you take a step back and look at how you act if you actually want to be anonymous.

>>11444818
Okay Necanon, if you say so.

>>11444336
Where's her neck(a)?

>>11444827
Neck budget went to April, sorry.

>>11444823
I'm just sitting here laughing at your meltdown.

>>11444832
Same Necanon, same.

>>11444836
You gonna be okay? You seem to be taking things pretty hard.

>>11444842
I am doing just fine, though I feel this has run its course. Go ahead and get the last word now like you always need to.

>>11444635
>Neca is still dumping out
Yes. Dumping out is the correct term when I comes to Neca.

>around the same price and comes with just as many accessories

lol okay

>>11444885
But look at all the accessories this comes with for the low low price of $50

>>11444845
You seem like you need someone to talk to. You're acting all erratic.

>>11444892
It's three figures, what are you crying about?

>>11444885
I don’t know why you guys need to have a constant brand war. These are cool, that’s enough for me.

>>11444892
Ok, you've proven you don't understand how toys cost out, especially among multiple lines and countries.

>>11444560
>slit eyes
.. interesting choice.. I don't really think it works, and the entire eye region is just kinda.. wrong
>patchy fur
that's always a risky way to go.... i'm not sure that works here.

>>11444561
well that really works. but if they're allowed to do that, surely super7 would be allowed
>>11444566
yeahhh it's crazy they pack this much detail into something you could swallow.
>>11444597
that's certainly.. A way to make nekode.. very interesting armor.. i thought we just got a new Slash from these guys? he was more Shreddery-lookin

>>11444892
remind me, who were those lil.. oh were those Dr. Brainulo's bots or whatever?

>>11444917
>surely super7 would be allowed
These aren't legally/technically sold in the US. Super7 conflicts with Playmates, JoyToy is getting away from that by not soliciting these stateside.

Not their fault people can get them through other means.

>>11444919
Domeoids.

>>11444933
tmnt products not officially sold in the US. bizarre.

>domeoids
yes that was it, thank you.

is this true what i'm reading, Slash originated in the Archie comics?

>>11445171
no

>>11445264
yeah that didn't make sense. He was, like many characters, a simultaneous add to the toyline and cartoon, right.. even if one took a while to come out

>>11445171
The figure came out in 1990, the same year as Slash: The Evil Turtle from Dimension X, and the Archie comic featuring him came out in 91.

>>11445333
okay so I was right and this toy reviewer was wrong. at least that's sorted.

>>11444565
Would be fucking hilarious and AMOG when and if superchad Joy Toy delivers what NECANT wont: a tempestra

seeing amazing tmnt figs but they're 1:18 reminds me of the Sealab robot body discussion
>But why so short?
>That's as tall as they come!!

>>11445602
You moron, they've already teased they have Tempestra coming. They showed her Arcade cabinet already.

>>11445861
Mind showing us?

>>11446000
Trevor's been teasing her coming every time it gets asked about.

>>11446015
I would love some scale arcade machines from them

So how do you all feel about IDW getting the Street Sharks license and the obvious cross over between them and the turtles happening?

It isn't happening. Shut up already.

Why do we need it to happen? All these crossovers are getting stale.

>>11446214
To prove the Sharks and Turtles can co-exist.

Found this huge boi at Gamestop yesterday. It was already marked down 20%

>>11446200
Fuck off

You seem upset.

>>11446403
and what human beings want is for casual people to stop getting what they want
this includes the casual people who are sick of the pressure

>>11446193
Hopefully it doesn't happen, because your posts about it have been absolutely fucking annoying. It's not related, nobody wants it. Go away. You tried to do this in the MOTU thread too.

do you think anon is dumb enough to not realize he's hurting "his cause" ?
he 100% wants you to hate that. or just to be angry.

It's modern IDW, so expect it to pander to faggots, trannies and other minorities.

See my answer to the first half of your question.

>>11446667
>I don't visit fagland
You are in the TMNT thread. The franchise has more canonically gay characters than MOTU thanks to the IDW run of comics.

>>11446783
>IDW
>canon

>>11446788
Even if we ignore the latter part of the IDW run that was written by a tranny furry, the fandom is still full of gay furries.

>>11446761
Well of course, Turtles by '93 weren't popular since Movie 3 failed, Sharks popped in, did three seasons of a cartoon and a toyline, handed the torch to Extreme Dinosaurs (who sculptor worked on that lizard shogun playmates guy), then left the scene, and then Saban 'revived' the turtles.

>>11446736
sure let's ignore the fact that the sewer playset from playmates was going to be gutted and used for parts for a proposed street sharks playset

>>11446839
Yeah, lets. Because Street Sharks is a bomb.

>>11446839
it was already pretty cramped for the turts.. imagining the bulky street sharks figures in there is ... come on

>>11446944
They kept the periscope fire hydrant feature. Wich is something that didn't exist in Street Sharks.

>>11446985
no but it does fit their whole deal. it's street-related, it's water-related..
>those orange peel turts
they dont look that bad, aside from the fucked up colors.. i just love the playmates designs so much. really wish Yan-Ting Playmates would get visited by three ghosts, and learn the true meaning of not being an asshole, and let super7 resume.. and personally call four horsemen to pre-pay them

>>11447005

Honestly, the remastered TMNT do so many other things right you stop noticing the skin after awhile.

>>11447729
aside from the swiveling feet, of course

>>11447729
>Honestly, the remastered TMNT do so many other things right you stop noticing the skin after awhile.
Until you touch them or open your eyes, and then you notice how shit they still are.

>>11447729
i was pretty happy with them until i realized their belts will melt the paint off their weapons...
doesn't matter for leo and raph since their blades are unpainted but they ate right through don and mike's
i need to find alternate weapons for them now or to just strip the paint from all 4

>>11447960
already? i hear about these things being years down the line

>>11447970
yeah happens pretty fast unfortunately, only took a couple days for it to happen to mine

>>11447975
incredible.. playmates has done it again.
Pretty sure you can file legit product complaints when something like this happens. if it's stripping paint, imagine what else it's doing?

>>11447960
Oh fuck seriously? Are they rubbery belts or something?

>>11447981
some kind of soft plastic, im not sure if it is reacting to the paint or they're just not top coated

>>11447995
i feel like coatings dont seem to be much of a thing at factories, otherwise chrome wouldn't flake off

>>11448027
awwww this works

>>11444642
Well that and Playmates will continue reissuing them every other year until the Earth crashes into the Sun.

>>11444642
i mean super7 are..

Total necanoob here. Just wondering what versions of neca turtles I should grab to be these hooded henchmen for the two scoops of evil Leo as shown in the pic.

>>11444560
Where should I be buying these joy toy figures? I really want some foot soldiers

>>11448309
are these not figures they make? those heads aren't accessories included in something?
because below the neck they appear to be normal toon figures.

>>11448309
I personally wouldn’t recommend grabbing any NECA turtles, they used to be the best for TMNT stuff but they’ve been slipping for a while now. Joy Toy is currently making the best TMNT stuff.

>>11448314
The masked head comes with this two
Scooos of evil Leo that I like. I just couldn't tell which versions of
Turtle bodies they show in that picture. Just " toon" I'm guessing?

>>11448323
yeah I'm not a huge expert here but those are either the original or the shinier ones that came with the disguises

>>11446015

HAHAHAH this "tease" has been rotting for years now and its just as credible as the Trumptards "4dc-hess" logic. Aside from this "tease" there is absolutely ZERO evidence they intend on releasing tempestra anytime soon. Sorry bro.

Fuck, there's more evidence they will release Tiffany (Berns girlfriend) or Shredders mom since they have shown 3d renders of them at least.

>>11448337
Wow, nice mental breakdown bud.

>>11448317
You don't want to listen to this guy, first off.

>>11448324
The Disguise Pack got dulled down on subsequent releases.

>>11448309
The "Pizza Club" Turtles are what you want to get for those.

>>11443962
did they really just use the same pizza twice in one set?

>>11448859
It's pizza. Who fucking cares?

>>11448860
woulda been nice to have 3 different pizzas

>>11448866
Then buy any of the other toys that have pizza.

>>11448879
sure, but it seems like a missed opportunity. or maybe it's just a factory error

>>11448898
It's neither of those things. It's an SDCC exclusive of a set of costumes from the cartoon that you don't need to have unless you want it. The pizza being the same is a huge nothing.

They gonna do IDW based figures?

>>11448662
ahhh see this guy has the good info. told you we had experts in here.

>>11448985
Ooh, anyone covering the 2012 series? I wanna get an 'evolution of Mona Lisa'

>>11448859
I’m more bothered by the fact that we get 3 pizzas and only 2 pizza boxes… cmon NECA…

>>11448990
>I wanna get an 'evolution of Mona Lisa'
in what format? you mean to say you want to have every figure of her and MAKE an evolution-of lineup yourself?

>>11449003
it's just papercraft, isn't it? we could make our own for incredibly cheap, but we also shouldn't have to.

>>11448990
>anyone covering the 2012 series?
NECA is.

Think we’ll ever see figures of the Shredder Revenge game? The Mona Lisa design is adorable. I like her proportions there better than the Mona Neca already released of her for the toon.

>>11449061
Wow, these look awful.

>11449070

>>11449055
I made a bunch of Weird Pizza boxes for my disguised Michalangelo, I think this was the final version of the template I used. I ran some card paper through the printer both ways to print the brown interior.

>>11449083
You're actually pathetic. Jesus, fucking troll.

>>11449083
I also had a template for a papercraft icecream, anchovie, and pickle pizza but it didn't come out as nice as I had hoped. Cheap inkjets do not have great colouring.

>>11449089
The hell is your problem?

>>11449099
You know exactly what you're doing, ass.

>>11449083
Yeah this is stupid. You people's obsession with trolling about someone that works at neca is insane.

>>11449062
I doubt we'll get any figures specifically modeled after the in-game designs, but I wouldn't object to Neca using that as an opportunity to make toon Karai and Super Shredder

>>11448901
>a set of costumes from the cartoon
What episode?

>>11449129
They're each from a different episode

>>11449149
What episodes then?

>>11449062
I must agree with you that SR had a few unique versions of characters that I'd like to see get a toy. especially if it helped revive super7 a little
>>11449083
oh I love it. I would think two layers would make it more stiff so it wouldn't matter if you had to do a second one for the interior, but.. you're printing on card paper, so that helps.
>>11449099
yeahh papercraft pizza is never gonna be good enough. But it's good for boxes and signs.

>>11449089
>>11449109
>>11449113
Am I missing something? Just looks like a normal pizza box to me

>>11449209
just a fucked up guy we have here, ignore him

>>11449209
the necabot spazzes out from time to time

>>11449209
The Shredder image is a troll image that loser posts over and over. He thinks he's being clever by including it there.

>>11449178
>yeahh papercraft pizza is never gonna be good enough. But it's good for boxes and signs.
The size and everything was fine, I think it was just the colouring. There was a little template guide I had read that has you roll the crust from the bottom over to the top to give it some texture but the pizza itself could be thicker. Looks OK sitting by itself but it doesn't replace something like the pizza slices that came with the movie turtles.

>>11449235
>roll the crust from the bottom over to the top
okay that is clever and it would help a lot...
It looks good from a distance, I'll give it that.

>>11449222
What’s the full shredder image?

>>11449255
It doesn't matter

Is it true S7's 2k3 figures are made of some sort of deteriorating rubber?

>>11449449
The belts and knee-pads are that super soft, squishy rubber that can dry out and crack pretty easily. The torsos also have a very thin rubber overlay that seems like it damages easily (scuffing mostly). Neither feel like lasting materials. You've seen the Toybiz Morbius figure with the melted rubber face? Yeah.

I honestly worry about how these figures will last if stored away.

>>11449485
>You've seen the Toybiz Morbius figure with the melted rubber face?
I have not but I kinda want to

>>11449615
So the figure had a rubber face with a "biting" mechanism action feature. You'd push the lever and he'd "open his mouth" which was achieved with a little lever inside the head that would stretch the rubber. Worked fine at the time. But that really super squishy rubber does not hold up over time, and it begins to melt and discolor. Which has turned nearly all of this Morbius figure into a completely trashed mess.

>>11449623

>>11449625
This looks like my splooge

>>11449623
>>11449625
alright alright who hit him with holy water
Mr. Fantastic? I was not expecting.. okay.

>>11449449
its soft plastic
it may age like shit, nobody knows, but its not rubber

>>11449623
>>11449625
Holy shit these are wretched lol

>>11449929
i wasnt sure what to expect, but.. not that.
plastic is a funny thing. I bought this real old Zoid kit where the little rubber caps that hold the parts on were super old and hard (and gold, so that doesn't help matters) and while I was able to re-soften them using a mixture of alcohol and wintergreen oil, I talked myself out of letting the caps DRY first, and by putting them on wet, they just left a sticky gummy mess all over the pegs on the inside (and oozed themselves back off the pegs)

I’m having so much fun with the newest Super7 2003 turtles. Great figures.

>>11450777
I'm sorry you have such low standards

>>11450777
i must say their articulation has impressed me
but making them a smaller size, when they should really be a little bigger.. yeah no. I get what they were doing, but no. and it means their Shredder will also not be in scale, and that was the one I was planning to get maybe.

>>11450867
>their articulation has impressed me
The bare minimum impressed you?

>>11450867
They seem to be the same size as the turtles from the Playmates copies, I'm not sure how this means they won't be in scale with the Shredder unless they make him the same height as the turtles themselves.

>>11450781
>>11450869
Why do you get this triggered over people liking toys?

>>11450967
necanon hates anyone talking about non-neca turtles, just ignore him, he melts down about the joytoy line too

>>11450982
I am convinced he is Randy. He very much reminds me of Bobby Vala

I like the mexican bootleg tmnt figs and weird ones like Turly Gang

Got my 2K3 figures, but they're pretty meh. They're weird. They're very on model, but they have barely any sculpting beyond shapes, and just don't look that fun.. There was a time I wanted them to take this articulation scheme and apply it to the vintage inspired turtles, but my interest in the line has dwindled down to nil, and it seems pretty unlikely that S7 will continue it on much further.

>>11451016
>it seems pretty unlikely that S7 will continue it on much further.
Tell me about it. During the peak period they had a new wave up for preorder every 3 months, now they're so scared over a wave failing that they're actually waiting until people have something before going $1200 in figures deep

>>11450869

>>11450963
huh the review I saw showed they were a little shorter.
Well they're at least smaller in the head, and clearly these guys are meant to be taller than the old toyverse versions of the characters. Idunno maybe it'll be fine. I'll wait for reviews (and a massive discount) before I buy their 2k3 shredder
>>11451008
those are hilarious

>>11451028
The Shredder looks bigger than Casey in the render, so assuming S7 isn't just lying in these he should be at least a head bigger than them. Unless Casey is a manlet.

>>11451022
I can see them maybe having another wave or two in the pipe depending on what was done before they laid off the guy who did these. Anything after that is a lost cause.

>>11451053
I don't think that's happening honestly. Not with the state Super7's in. The line's good and dead. Even Brian's little "open letter" was talking about going back to doing simpler things. Ultimates just cost them money and caused them problems.

Hell 2K3 wasn't even their idea. It was a peace offering idea from Nickelodeon to shut Playmates up.

>>11450869
If butterfly joints are bare minimum, why are NECA too lazy to give us bare minimum?

>>11451049
casey already looks too small compared to splinter, I think... I mean one's a little closer but not that much closer. and the foot soldier is closer still, and Splinter seems to dwarf him. Iunno..
I never liked 2k3 splinter's look though. Like it's part of the way there, but the dinosaur feet and wide pink nose never did it for me. if I was doing an animated Splinter, I'd just draw the movie version.

>>11451062
if only that had just kept them afloat long enough for playmates to take a fuckin hike
how are the super7 uh 5poas, those little whatsemcalled guys? because if they can do those, they should just get the master tmnt license and put out the cheapo stuff for kids.

>>11451062
>Ultimates just cost them money and caused them problems.
For the most part thats definitely true. But tmnt and thundercats sold pretty well by the same token, otherwise they never would have gone as deep as they did. No idea about the 2k3 sales though, they may have been borderline enough to not risk continuing, its definitely not as popular as the vintage stuff.

>>11451091
>its definitely not as popular as the vintage stuff
Nah, I disagree. I think the 2003 stuff sold fairly well than the obscure vintage stuff we started getting.

>>11451074
there is 0 chance of playmates giving up the master license for retail toys and S7 is not equipped to do it anyway; they can't even get a single wave of collector toys out on time without delays, nickelodeon would fucking bury them for missing a deadline on kids toys to coincide with media.

>>11451091
I want this to be true, but on the other paw, I got all of them at huge discounts, so.. basically even if it sold well, that price just shows they don't have the scale yet to really compete
>>11451101
Viacom can take it away anytime they want.
>S7 is not equipped
that is 110% true. sigh. also their QC kinda blows. but that's why I was asking about the.. what are they called. yknow the smaller simpler bodied ones. Are those also late, with bad QC?

>>11451243
>yknow the smaller simpler bodied ones
The 5poa ones done like vintage Star Wars figures?
ReAction.
Can't help you further than that because I don't buy them.

>>11451299
yeah those.
I don't know anyone who does, but if those are... for what they are, reliable and churned out regularly, then they COULD do what Playmates did.

>>11451008
Am I not turly enough for the Turly Gang?

>>11451016
>They're very on model, but they have barely any sculpting beyond shapes, and just don't look that fun
Honestly that's a good description. They're blocks of nothing, really. Nothing makes them stand out.

>>11451591
would have definitely been better to do 'playmates styled 2003' but I guess they were thinking "might as well pivot completely" and also "dark horse is expensive"

I had a vivid dream last night that Super7 was rereleasing the party wagon but it came with 4 unique molds of the turtles that would only be available with the wagon, and they wanted $800 for it. Was this prophetic?

>>11451984
considering you can still buy the party wagon for less than retail that seems extremely unlikely

>>11449178
I think it’s the slight chibification making Mona a little thicker that has me wanting a figure of her.

>>11451985
You underestimate Brian's lust for money. They'll probably take all the unsold wagons and repackage them with the new figures. Not even new packaging, they'll just buy back all the dirty scuffed units rotting in stores at half of what they sold them to the stores for just so the stores can get their shelf space back for something people actually want to buy.

>>11452073
i can see that, I like how tiny her torso is in those sprites

>>11448934
We already have them, but someone in the previous thread said Loyal Subjects lost the license and I have no confirmation of whether or not that's true. There were some pretty big empty spots in the IDW line like Foot ninjas and April O'Neil, and the foot ninjas were supposed to come out sometime this year, but I have not heard anything about when and where we might see them, and if they did lose the license then the answer is likely never. I hope that's not the cast because I've been collecting the line, but who knows with the toy industry these days.

>>11454275
>and I have no confirmation of whether or not that's true.
It was confirmed a while back when McFarlane announced they had the license. Loyal Subjects is 100% out. Nothing else is coming.

>>11454275
>>11454286
I believe you are referring to McFarlane's Page Punchers line of IDW turtles. The way licensing works with Page Punchers is somewhat different from a typical action figure because they are smaller and have less articulation than a typical McFarlane figure, and they're sold and marketed as a collectible that comes with a comic. It's very unlikely that the very specific licensing deals that McFarlane works out to create TMNT Page Punchers is a result of Loyal Subjects losing their license to make fully articulated figures based on the full range of characters from the comic.

The Page Punchers line will most likely be for just the 4 turtles with each one coming with a comic story that highlights them as a character. Page Punchers is as much a way to backdoor sneak comics into more mainstream retailers that normally wouldn't carry them as it is a value added feature for the toy itself, which in turn the comic publisher can use to get more people interested in the comic.

Last anyone has heard from Loyal Subjects regarding TMNT they'd announced a signigicant number of new figures that will require unique toolings, however since they don't have the same kind of publicity as bigger manufacturers it's unlikely we will see pre-release renders of their figures, which means we'll find out if they still have anything new in production from toy fairs and SDCC. If they show up at SDCC with no Ninja Turtles products at all then that could be a bad sign, but there are a number of other reasons why that could be the case that have nothing to do with the license, especially if they are supply chain related.

>>11454700
How out of date are you? Jesus. The McFarlane figures are 6 inch figures, they showed off Bebop, Rocksteady, and Shredder at a recent show but didn't allow photography.

Loyal Subjects is done with the license, they do not have TMNT anymore. They are out.

>>11454275
>>11454700
Y'all are so behind the times:
https://youtu.be/rUI6c6hPaKo?t=149

Loyal Subjects no longer has TMNT, and BST AXN is dead.

>>11454879
huh. i guess high articulation at small sizes is still kinda hard to sell

>>11443958 (OP)
>No Cerebus figure
>No Gizmo figure
yikes

>>11456383
i miss chrome
why can't someone bring it back and just put a fucking coating on it so the parts don't scratch
if you absolutely can't on the joints, mold them in silver, paint over them in very metallic paint, and then coat THOSE for their protection
it cannot be this hard.

>>11456613
It's not so much about it being hard (though it is, it's a bit of a production nightmare), it's also about cost.

>>11456615
then someone invent a CHEAPER way. criminy, this never used to be a problem. you just tech at things until they work, like star trek

>>11454275
>>11454700
>>11454715
>>11454879
If it's any consolation to the people who were collecting the Loyal Subjects IDW turtles line, it sounds like the McFarlane figures might be the same scale, meaning you won't necessarily have to re-buy the characters you already own if you want to pick up where the BST AXN line left off. It's not a lot but it's not nothing, either.

For example, the turtles in BST AXN are about 5" and Shredder and the Foot Elite ninja are 6" tall, similar in size to Marvel Legends and GI Joe Classified. From what we've heard the McFarlane turtles will be somewhere around 5" too, which would hopefully mean they'll be about the same size as BST AXN.

I'm on the fence about the Hot Toys figures; They look good (Not a fan of the turtles having stuff nailed into their shells especially Mike's street sign. Looks painful as shell) but that much money for tiny figures isn't really a must-buy.

>>11456903
>Hot Toys
Fuck I meant Joytoy

>>11456903
They're fun little figures, but yeah the price is kind of a stickler for "collecting them all." And if we're being honest, the Turtles themselves are the weakest of the line now.

I'd say pick one you'd really like to have, just to try it out. You don't have to collect the line.

>>11456383
>still no Bloodsucker figure
Sad !

>>11456903
They are great figures, a bit expensive for their size but they articulate better than most 1/12 tmnt, are really well painted and come with a bunch of stuff. Personally I'd get Bebop or Krang first as I think they are the best ones, if either of those don't make you want to jump in and buy a bunch more the line isn't for you.

>>11457098
Isn't Wyrm basically an INO version of Bloodsucker?

>>11457306
Yeah basically Rick Veitch won't let them use Bloodsucker or reprint his stories so they just made Wyrm
I forget why Rich was mad about TMNT though.

IDW keeps hinting at the Sharks meeting the Turtles. Maybe the Sharktist was onto something.

>>11457648
>Necanon admitting he was wrong
Well that’s a first.

>Street Sharks show up to help fight Armaggon

>>11457652
>retard thinks everyone is one person
Sadly you are always wrong and always a dumbass.

Any chances of Joytoy doing vehicles?
If they do then this is a must-get line.

>>11457992
Zero. Those kinds of companies don't really bother with vehicles.

>>11458008
>Those kinds of companies don't really bother with vehicles.
You should do a quick google search for how many vehicles Joytoy has made for Warhammer 40k so that you never say anything that embarrassing ever again.

>>11458018
Oh I'm sorry pissbaby, donyou really think that's the same as the fucking TMNT license? Fuck no it isn't. Retard.

>>11458019
Sorry, you didn't mention anything about the license. Only "those kinds of companies don't really bother with vehicles" because you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

>>11458018
You should stop being a dumbass. The TMNT line doesn't have cost-effective vehicles outside of...what? Cheapskates? They're not making a van, and if they did it'd cost who knows how many hundreds of dollars. And that's before trying to figure the cost of importing something that size.

>>11458028
>cost-effective vehicles
So, from "those kinds of companies don't make vehicles" to "muh TMNT license" to "but the vehicle needs to be cost effective like the cheapskate" in three posts.
Just shut the fuck up and stop moving the goalposts before you embarrass yourself further.
Joytoy are making fucking tanks for 40k. A Turtle Van would be totally within their capabilities.
>And that's before trying to figure the cost of importing something that size.
They are releasing a 21 inch tall Imperial Knight Paladin for $700 and it is getting imported. You seriously don't know shit.
https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/300237?o=4

You should stick to talking about NECA, because it's pretty clear you don't know shit when it comes to other companies.

>>11458044
You're talking to different people you freak retard.

>$700 and it is getting imported.
Ain't nobody paying that for anything TMNT related you fucking moron.

>>11458044
>$700
>SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARY DOOS
Oh no no no no!

>>11458044
I'll drop $40-$50 on the figures, but you gotta be goddamn out of your mind if you think I'm spending that much on a vehicle.

>>11458061
>>11458062
It's okay when China does it

>>11458055
>You're talking to different people you freak retard
No, I'm talking to one retard. It's pretty obvious.
>Ain't nobody paying that for anything TMNT related
You're kidding right? Tards actually did pay full price for the $500 Super7 van. Turtle tards will pay $300 for 3 walls, a floor, some Re-ment furniture and a sheet of foamcore.
Which is besides the point, because I was using it as an example that disproves that importing something the size of a 1/18 Turtle Van would be unfeasible. >>11458061
>>11458062
It's more like a giant figure, like Galactus or the Sentinel Haslabs. It is totally overpriced, but 40k fans are used to getting their wallets raped by Games Workshop. It's still cheaper than trying to build a 2000 point AdMech army.

>>11458068
>Tards actually did pay full price for the $500 Super7 van.
No they didn't, they waited for it to drop in price...which is exactly what it did. And places STILL can't get rid of the thing. You're making justifications for bullshit. It's not happening.

>>11458068
Not interested in $700 plus tariffs, thanks.

>>11458070
I saw a few people posting theirs in various forums and a one or two comparing it to the UA van the week it came out. It might have only been a dozen or so in total, but a dozen is more than the "nobody" you are lying about.
Did the majority wait til it went on clearance? I would fucking hope so with Super7's track record.
>It's not happening.
Because you say so, and you'll keep moving the goalposts to justify your reasoning every time you are proven wrong? Ok.

>>11458076
Sorry we aren't all Chinese boot lickers like you. It's not happening because something like TMNT doesn't support that shit, not when it comes to imports. Show us your $700 preorder bitch tits.

>>11458078
>Sorry we aren't all Chinese boot lickers
You literally are. You just use balding Americans and Heebs as middlemen for the money you give the Chinese. I bet you've got more Chinese shit that you worship in your house than you've had hot meals.
>Show us your $700 preorder bitch tits.
Did I say I ordered that thing? Sorry that you can't read properly, retard. So I'll reiterate: I used that as an example that something the size of a 1/18 Turtle Van wasn't impossible to import.
Sorry that you need to get aggressive as a coping mechanism because all of your arguments were blown out like your asshole.

>>11458076
>but a dozen
So literally nobody

I like the part where he ignores that the TMNT license strictly prevents them from selling them over in the states so that makes getting the figures harder in general. Let alone some ridiculously overpriced $800 turtle van that he thinks everyone will want. Sad.

>>11458082
>So literally nobody
No, literally a dozen. Is the counting what you struggle with, or is understanding the definitions of words the hard part?
>>11458086
>so that makes getting the figures harder in general
It's not like we have half a dozen threads dedicated to toylines people order from Japan all the time...which get the occasional retard that needs to buy from BBTS because they are too retarded to figure out how to use a Japanese site. But I guess ordering from 5kToys or Gundamit is sooooo hard that it requires you to use more brainpower than you actually have.
>some ridiculously overpriced $800 turtle van
I get it, you're poor. Luckily the 40k tank is $180, which is the vehicle that is the closest equivalent to the size of a Turtle Van. Once again, because you seem to be actually brain-dead, I was using the $700 Knight as an example that it isn't impossible to import large expensive items, because people around the world import toys from other countries all the time.
Do you think England has a retailer that will stock the Mythic Legions dragon? Fuck no. But I guess the concept of not being able to buy something from Walmart confuses and infuriates you.
I mean, it wouldn't be impossible for people that actually work to import a Joytoy Turtle Van. For neet faggots that sit at their computer all day babysitting a TMNT thread, it certainly would be almost impossible.

>>11458081
>Did I say I ordered that thing?
So even you wouldn't support it? That's suspicious.

>>11458107
>literally a dozen
So literally none. No wonder Super7 is going under. Couldn't even get a baker's dozen together.

>>11458117
Only if you are paranoid. Now if they made a fucking huge Carnifex, I'd throw my money at it.
>>11458125
>So literally none
No, literally a dozen. Even elementary school kids know that 12 does not equal zero.

Anyways… I just got JoyToy Casey and the Triceratons in a couple of days ago. Here’s Casey’s accessory loadout.

>>11458137
Watch out. You'll be called a Chinese bootlicker for buying that.

>>11458125
Yeah, he's just mad because nobody bought the thing. There's a reason places were discounting it so heavily.

>>11458125
I only saw a dozen people post their sewer lair.
Does that mean NECA sold literally none?

>>11458157
You should get out more, there's been more than that posted.

>>11458107
Kind of odd how angry you're getting. I guess you can't defend the price? Hm.

>>11458139
Why are you harassing people like that?

>>11458164
See >>11458068
>It is totally overpriced
Sorry you thought I was trying to defend the price, but you either imagined it because you are delusional, or made it up to cope because your last two brain cells still can't grasp what an example is.

>>11458137
The riot gear wasn’t necessary but cool to have, I guess.

>>11458166
And he's still attacking people

>>11458193
I felt like the accessories looked cartoonishly large from the promos but they’re not as bad in-hand.

>>11458076
Bro you don't seem to understand what "moving goalposts" is. You also don't seem to understand how licensing or collecting works either. Why are you here exactly?

>>11458044
I'd buy a joytoy turtle van. In fact I'm probably going to buy one of these tanks for my tmnt villains if they release a chaos marines one.

>>11458209
No you're not.

>>11458212
I don't think you get to control my purchases. And don't reply to me again necanon.

>>11458214
You should probably stop with your delusional talk, especially since you don't know who you're talking to, ever, it seems.

>>11458218
I don't know why you get so upset at being called necanon when you shill so hard for them. Is it upsetting to you that anyone with a functioning brain can see your posting style from a mile away?

>>11458222
Mmn, try again Boobie.

>>11458209
>replying to yourself

>>11458193
Not sure about this look, but the skates work. Rollerblades would have been more fitting.
>>11458201
Yeah, the accessories look fine. Maybe a smidge too big. Otherwise he looks good.

>>11458203
Isn't it when an anon tries to claim that companies like Joytoy don't do vehicles, and then when proven wrong jumps to "but the TMNT license" as an excuse, and then jumps to "but TMNT doesn't have any cost effective vehicles except the Cheapskates" only to be shown that Joytoy wouldn't need to limit themselves? If you were here for toys, you'd have replied to the anon posting his Joytoy Casey, but instead you are assblasted and samefagging like a crazy person after being proven wrong.

>>11458230
Believe it or not there are more than 2 posters here, despite necanon making up half the posts in the thread.

>>11458231
>as an excuse
How is it an excuse when the license is literally restricted? Do you just enjoy saying stupid things all the time? You also keep attributing several posts to one poster, it's actually stunning that you're that dense. You haven't even proven anything wrong. You seem to think Warhammer is the same thing as TMNT.

>>11458231
Says the assblasted pedo that wants people to buy $700 Chinese knock offs.

>officially licensed products are knock-offs
wait till he finds out his neca turtles are made by the chinese too

>>11458234
We can tell it's you

>>11458242
Who is we? You and the voices in your head?

>>11458236
>license
It restricts them from selling in the US. And it's for 1/18 scale.
And that's all we actually know about Joytoy's license. So saying they can't make a Turtle Van because of the license is a load of shit that you've made up.
>You also keep attributing several posts to one poster
It's funny that you think we don't recognise your infantile insults. But I guess I'm supposed to believe that there were three seperate individuals that were absolutely adamant that Joytoy can NEVER EVER make a Turtle Van, and all of them are posting first thing in the morning right after you jump online to spend your day as Gatekeeper of the Thread.
>>11458239
Actually deranged. For the third time, I was using the Knight as an example. I don't care if you buy it or not. Go spend $700 on the two NECA sewer dioramas and build up your foamcore portfolio. I don't give a fuck.

>>11458250
No, they can't make a Turtle Van because it'd cost too much and nobody is going to try to import that piece of shit. You're making things up again. You don't seem to actually understand anything.

>>11458250
That's how we know you're the one samefagging.

>>11458252
>they can't make a Turtle Van because it'd cost too much
So they can make one. Just because NECA were too cheap to make an Ultimate scale Bruce doesn't mean other companies can't make expensive toys.
>and nobody is going to try to import that piece of shit.
Good thing it's not made for burgers, and China's population is at least twice the size of America. I know they say it's 1.5b, but that's as believable as anything you say.
>>11458253
I'm not the anon that said I would buy a Joytoy Turtle Van. I'm just buying the ones I like, and since I didn't buy the Turtles, I'm not getting the van. But keep being so sure about shit that you have no clue about, like how "those kinds of companies don't really bother with vehicles."

>>11458267
Weird that you keep crying about neca when nobody's even talking about that. It's almost like all you're here to do is troll and shitpost. Cause you're certainly not defending a point very well.

Triceraton Infantryman loadout

How are those Mirage colored bandanas turtles from Aliexpress and Wal-Mart? Is the paint fucky?

>>11458343
Mine just shipped, looking forward to these 3 and Casey.

Fuck it I'm going to buy the Joytoy turtles and if I like them, get the others (Thinking of Shredder, Bebop, Rocksteady, and Slash).
I mean they don't even take up much space anyway.

>>11458356
It's true, you can chuck 'em in a drawer and forget about them pretty easily at that size.

>>11458390
Good thing the Street Sharks line is dead already so that'll never happen.

>>11458393
I remember hearing the rubber skin on the new line was already deteriorating, was that true or just someone hamhanding them?

>>11458406
Not deteriorating so much as already cracking around the edges of the mouth from use. It was a badly implemented feature. Honestly they should've just left out the action feature and gone full Origins style. I was looking forward to them, too.

>>11458044
you 100% knew what he meant
>>11458070
i actually kinda wish i'd waited and gotten the super7 van, now that it's so tremendously discounted, but I still stand by my UA van and it has better guns. plus I'm gonna mod it and really improve it.

>>11458193
yeah it's off-brand but who knows, maybe Casey would get into some real heavy shit and have no choice. the skates add just enough levity that it still somewhat fits despite not being a hockey mask and sports equipment
I think I'd have mine with the normal casey outfit and gear, but keep the hammer and the greaves.

Some nice heft to this one. I noticed there’s metal hip joints for what I’m assuming is extra stability. Krang Android had this too - impressive for the scale.

>>11458231
rollerblades would indeed be more fitting. And they certainly existed at the time (they were brand new even), but I feel like a guy Casey's age in the late 80s early 90s would think of them as kids stuff, and stick with his good oldfashioned skates. Hell, when he was a kid, skates still had keys sometimes. to just fit to your existing shoes.

>>11458454
that face has a good Henson-y look to it. But I'm confused as to why he has one stub horn which has a ring around it which then features another horn... if you were gonna replace your horn, wouldn't you ... place it on the stub of the old one? or is this to leave room for it to grow back

>>11458393

It better not be before I get Slobster and Killamari.

>>11458616
horns do regrow on most animals that have them so that's probably why

>>11458650
Hmmm I've looked it up just to make sure, but the assumption is that reptile horns are bone, same as chameleons, and certainly in the fossils they look like bone... when a bone horn breaks, it's not coming back. there's no deer-antler-velvet regrowin situation, because that process is rapid and makes very lightweight horns that are meant to break and regrow

>>11458645
I mean, yeah, the line's dead. They cancelled wave 3.

>>11458664

Source?

>>11458667
NTA, but no official announcement. Not even an "inside source" rumor like with Neca's Gargoyles line. Just the wave 3&4 prototypes stuck in vaporware status with no word of a release. I hope they end up as MC exclusives at minimum, but if they don't show them at SDCC again this year, I'm guessing it's over.

>>11458790
I heard its just that Mattel is going through a rough patch right now. Had to close like, six factories, the tariff stuff...I wouldn't be surprised if waves 3 and 4 were just held up.

>>11458667
Mattel removed them from future release schedules.

>>11458790
so disappointed not to get Coldstone, but it looked like they didn't take advantage of the hinge in the show model to give him hinged wings, so

>>11458799
He'll still be coming out. Just as an exclusive wave.

I don't think they were ever on any official future release schedule. The sign at SDCC where they were displayed said Fall 2024, but that was for wave 2 which was released in October.

hope you're right, but it'll be a sad finale..
i really need to get into 3d printing and shit, because I just cannot rely on companies to make the toys I want anymore. the Gargoyles line was an admirable attempt, but with such easily-fixed flaws.

>>11458805
Correct.

>>11458805
And Mattel has moved away from the line entirely

>>11458826
Maybe. Seems weird to announce a new comic and nothing else.

>>11458826
Please post the press release stating that they are moving away from the line.

>>11458831
The comic is completely separate from the toyline. The toys didn't sell well, so the toys die off.

Ripster and Jab sold out so quickly everywhere that many missed out on them because they thought they would be around for a while like MOTU Origins first wave was. The only way you'll get them is from flippers (including the only Jab currently on BBTS for $10 over retail), and it's been like that since late last year.
Streex sold out in most places too. Slammu and Piranoid have sold ok, but not as well as the other 3. Slash was the only one that really bombed, but even he is getting harder to find. Of course, now Piranoid and Slammu will rot everywhere because nobody wants to buy them if they can't get the other 3 MCs.

I found wave 2 at burlingtons a few months ago for $13 each. Sucks they have released any news for wave 4, I just need Slobster, Killamari and Moby Lick and I'd be happy. The Ripteel and Rox would be cool, but I could do without.
