THE RIDE NEVER ENDS

>>11527010
Its a tmnt thread retard

>>11527010
Sir, this is a TMNT thread

>>11527010
Lol

>>11527012
>>11527013
>>11527026
Yeah, just it may get swept up in the incoming clean cycle by accident due to the op lmao, still its fucking absurd how one schizo can ruin an entire slow board

>>11527034
all it would take is for a janny to do their job

>>11527010
Just report it. This is actually insane.

>>11527107
I have multiple times just nothing happens still, fuck

Looks like it got taken care of finally.

>>11527156
Still a few left plus older frenchthreads, now he’s already ban evading and targeting the leftover threads

Forgive me if this has been discussed before, I haven’t been on here in a while. What’s going on with Super7’s stuff? Are they still doing vintage based turtles? And did their 2003 turtles ever come out?

>>11527359
>what's going on
playmates has fucked them, hard
>vintage based turtles
negatory, i'm afraid
>did the 2k3 ones come out
yes, but people are a bit disappointed. apparently the articulation is improved, but not improved enough for some people, and the plastic used feels very overly soft, to the point of being able to indent it with your fingernails. That, plus they aren't in scale with the old ones (basically almost the same height, but these turtles should be taller, at least for their proportions. Shredder is not out yet, to make comparisons with) and also that the accessories are disappointing.. also they kinda had a difficult job ahead of them adapting the 2k3 art style, but it feels like they didn't nail it to me.

>>11527378
oh and, for some reason, Mondo's vinyls seem to be allowed to use the vintage designs, so.. that's an onion in the ointment

Ima have to just get super rich and 3d print my own of the rest of the classic line.

We need more April toys.

>>11527401
Who is that supposed to be she’s pushing down?

>>11527406
I could have sworn that April had a rival reporter named June in the cartoon that was mentioned once or twice but never seen, however June is the name of her co-anchor at Channel 3 in the movie.

>>11527406
Lois Lane. see the mic logo?

>>11527397
>Mondo's vinyls seem to be allowed to use the vintage designs
We discussed this last thread, but the general consensus seems to be that either because they’re low numbered and only sold online or because Super7 was technically a direct competitor to Playmate’s vintage redesigned figures despite not being in the same scale, but oh well. I just wanted to complete the rocking turtles.

>>11527522
literally only one person said that and it was the first suggestion given. pretty far from 'general consensus'
especially because yeah, S7 is not in any way, shape, or form, a competitor to playmates' stuff. and only a moron would actually argue that. like i guarantee playmates didn't have to 'make that case'
they just said 'do what we say ching chong ping pong or no more figures for you' and viacom, being morons, listened.

>>11527533
>S7 is not in any way, shape, or form, a competitor to playmates' stuff
You'd think, but Playmates thought they were enough to throw as many wrenches into their gears as possible.

>>11527401
Yeah. release a second fifth turtle figure but give her her tits back

>>11527730
i think they were just pissed they werent getting a licensing fee. maybe Mondo IS paying them one.

>>11526998 (OP)
What are the next playmates toys figures that are supposed to be released? Is there any other figures for the mutant mayhem show planned? Hope they move away from that interchangeable limbs gimmick. That sucks so hard

>>11528343
>What are the next playmates toys figures that are supposed to be released?
Reissues, the Godzilla crossover, and Last Ronin stuff. The only new Mutant Mayhem thing is a water squirting van.

>>11528343
Mutant Mayhem turned into a big nothing for them. It's just not selling...it stopped selling after the movie hit and people were pretty meh on the whole thing.

>>11528343
At SDCC they showed some bling bad minis and something called "Shell Spinners", but that and a new vehicle is all MM is getting.

Gee, thanks NECA. That was a waste of $35....

>>11528625
Maybe be more careful and don’t break it off next time.

>>11528625
Gee thanks retard, you can see you opened it and pulled it off. Fuck's sake, try harder you shit for brains troll.

>>11528625
What a conveniently postioned photo.

>>11527098
He’s back at it

>>11528628
I just noticed it after clipping out the figure. I didn't notice it in store.

>>11528631
I wouldn't care if the piece was floating around in the package, I'd just glue it myself. It's not even broken, just missing the piece. I wouldn't care if the damn thing was actually in the box.

>>11528639
Boo hoo faggot.

>>11528643
You're a bad liar

>>11528650
Why are you so upset about my figure? It doesn't even affect you.

>>11528474
>At SDCC they showed some bling bad minis
Where can i find images of them? Is it just the turtles or are other mutants in it too (im hoping theres other mutants in their)

>>11528625
sorry anon, I hope they replace it for you

>>11528657
Unfortunately, I saw them at the Technodrone forums.

>>11528746
I got it from Target so I just have to return it. I don't have the receipt anymore either so I'm gonna have to hope I can return it just using my credit card. Luckily I posted about it here and was able to find the post I made to figure out when I bought it. So we'll see. I saw another one at a different Target so I may try to get it there if they still have it.

>>11528907
in my experience, target doesn't ask too many questions about returns.

>>11528907
>I don't have the receipt anymore either
So what? We're in the future now grandpa. They only need your card. That's all.

>>11528918
That's good to know. I don't do returns very often and the last time I did Target was like a decade ago probably.

>>11528914
Yeah I figured. Still, would've been happy to have the new one, but having it in handk it really isn't a huge upgrade from the first version which I already have. Still, it sucks, especially since it was an impulse purchase that I just randomly found at the store. As long as I can get my money back I'll be content, still, would've been nice if the piece just came off in the box so I could just glue it back on real quick. Pisses me off even more since it's such an easy fix.

>>11528941
i hear that..
it's annoying that we have to secondguess everything these days, I don't even fix things as I go anymore because another problem is so likely to pop up.. I was just about to glue my samurai leo's sandal back on when I destroyed his neck peg trying to get his alternate head on.. maybe getting the old one off, I forget. actually maybe i did glue the sandals first. point is, you can think you have one problem and then others show up, so you end up having to fuckin.. put each figure through its paces immediately before embracing it as yours.

You only have until August 17th to pre-order Pixel Dan's Toys of the TMNT vol 1: https://shop.thepower-con.com/collections/books/

He's self publishing it, so if you want it, here you go.

>>11529060
if I had more money...

>>11529065
Shop pay does offer installment payments...

>>11529066
it's just.. for that price, I could buy a couple toys.
Once I have a real income, I'll want this, and then I won't be able to find it. or any time to read it.

>>11529060
Why is Pixel Dan doing this?

>>11529076
you mean why him specifically?

>>11529060
I'll just wait till someone posts it on here like his He-Man books.

>>11529081
Yes, I didn’t know he was super knowledgeable about TMNT toys. I don’t follow him super closely though.

>>11529082
That's a douchey thing to do

>>11528945
>>11528948
They're still doing these? My Walmart doesn't even have a TMNT section anymore.

>>11529094
Charging $70 for a bunch of photos that I can see on a wiki for free is a douchey thing to do.

>>11529142
it's more than that, and i'm sure publishing a book that thick is prohibitively expensive now. blame the publishers.
more like pube-lickers am I right. fuckin.. censoring old dahl and seuss books to add gender neutral language. they should die.

>>11529142
No, it's not. You're supporting someone that cares about the toys and makes an excellent visual guide, better than some shitty wiki. You're just an asshole.

>>11529094
>>11529145
Why do you care? Do you have some sort of stake in this?

>>11529145
>You're supporting someone that cares about the toys
I'm not supporting anyone that shilled for the Westover scumbags at Premium DNA.
Keep sucking e-celeb cock though.

>11529168
get a load of this absolute sociopath
thinks you have to have a stake in something to care. jesus christ. Get help.

>>11528945
>>11528948
Rise is still the only good TMNT line

>>11529171
Enjoy your overpriced book, anon. Will go great next to your Mondo RGB figures.

>>11529181
hey i'm the guy who can't afford it.

>>11529170
Yes, I'm sure you totally care about something like that. You really will find the stupidest thing to be contrarian about.

>>11529181
I guess a ball scratching basement dweller with no reason to live would think a passion project is "overpriced."

>>11529372
Anon, it’s a glorified picture book. Should be $40, MAYBE $50 max. $70 is just him charging that, because he knows he can and people will pay for it. He’s literally fleecing TMNT fans, so if that’s his passion project, it’s frankly a bad one. He’s not even willing to sign each book and looking at the examples of the pages on the site, it reads like AI. Where is the passion?

>>11529496
Holy shit, you are actually a dumbass. So fuck travel, finding intact examples of figures and vehicles, hours and hours of photography, and making the book look incredible. You're a horrible person.

>>11529513
lol you think he took the photos? No. The photographers have already been paid. And if this is such a “passion projects”, he didn’t have intact examples already? All I’m saying is Pixel Dan is charging out of his ass for this. I just think anons should be aware that it is grossly overpriced.

>all of this autism over a tmnt toy book
none of this matters

>>11529518
I mean that’s my thoughts exactly, all I said was that it was overpriced and was ready to move on, but then this guy has to start an argument over it for no reason.

>>11529517
You moron, he literally is the one that took the photos! He has video of him doing the setups and photography. Congrats! You just proved to everyone what a fucking moron you are. No wonder you have no idea what the value of work is!

>>11529520
It's not overpriced and you're a NEET that would be afraid to even do half of what Pixel Dan has done for these books.

>>11529517
>All I’m saying is Pixel Dan is charging out of his ass for this.
Sure I could see someone thinking this if all you buy are Preschool books.

>>11529548
Congrats, you got your aha moment. But like I said I don’t care about the book, so I didn’t even know that. It’s still overpriced, but if you want it so badly feel free to buy it.

>>11529344
>you're an asshole and a contrarian for not financially supporting a shitty e-celeb
You should grow up and stop forming these parasocial attachments to people you see on Youtube. It's fucking bizarre how you act like you know these faggots personally and need to convince us to give money to them. Go outside and meet some real people instead of pretending Hatter, Johnny Nostalgia, the faggots at Toy Anxiety, and Pixel Dan are your friends. Fuck, I'll still let you pretend Trevor and Blaine are your friends if you want, but don't try to shame me because I don't want to give money to e-beggars and shills. Like Dan doesn't get paid enough for shilling BBTS and through Patreon. It's not like his insight is any greater than any other fan of a toyline, so why the fuck should I care what he has to say. Hell, his MOTU book is already out of date less than a year after it was released because the mystery of the figure that is known as Wonderbread He-man was solved, and no thanks to this self proclaimed "toy historian."
And yes, I do care about that. Any time there was a Premium DNA thread on the board the last few years, I have tried to warn anons that if they really want to preorder their shit, to not buy directly from them and do it at a place that doesn't required a deposit because they are thieving scum.
Pixel Dan is a shameless piece of shit that was still promoting those cunts as recent as 2 years ago, long after it was known what they did. Fuck him, fuck his book, and fuck you for sucking his dick, you pathetic friendless faggot.

>>11529555
>if all you buy are Preschool books
Anon, it’s a glorified picture book for children’s toys… they literally had books like picrel in Elementary School that were the exact same format and a lot cheaper.

Hey look, a book of the exact same thing on Amazon for $39.99. Even covers more years, cowabunga!

>>11529576
Or hey, here’s one that even has a forward by Kevin Eastman! Radical! But Pixel Dan knows more, right?

>>11529576
Or hey, here’s one that even has a foreword by Kevin Eastman! Radical! But Pixel Dan knows more, right?

Do you guys just need to argue about any old thing?

This is a true passion project by an actual fan
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/139596288/tmnt-action-figure-encyclopedia-hardcover-and-soft/description

You want to tell me that this pixel Dan AI book isn’t overpriced when this guy was selling a book that’s essentially the exact same thing, except covering ALL TMNT collectibles from 1988-2017? And it was $45 for the hardcover? Give me a break.

>>11529591
That doesn't even show off everything as comprehensively as Dan's book. That's actually garbage and is not a passion project. That's a scam.

>>11529591
No carded shots, no variants, poor printing, no detailed information of the toy or vehicles. Lame.

>>11529569
>already out of date less than a year after it was released because the mystery of the figure that is known as Wonderbread He-man was solved
Oh you poor baby, you! You mean time keeps on going on even after a book is released? Oh no! That NEVER happens in the print world ever!

Only a psycho like you would think that's somehow a fault of the book or Dan's. Get a fucking life.

>>11529600
>Only a psycho like you would think that's somehow a fault of the book or Dan's.
"Look at me! I'm a toy historian that charges money for information that can be gleaned from any toy forum! I don't need to do actual research, because I know retards that give me money on Patreon to find my toy collection will buy my book anyway."

>>11529611
And yet you learn nothing! You just troll around 4chan and act like a dumbass. Dan does research, you don't.

>>11529600
>Only a psycho like you would think that's somehow a fault of the book or Dan's.
"Look at me! I'm a toy historian that charges money for information that can be gleaned from any toy forum! I don't need to do actual research, because I know retards that give me money on Patreon to fund my toy collection will buy my book anyway.

Let's agree to disagree and stop talking about this book. I don't care. No one cares. This doesn't matter. Off topic.

>>11529597
>No carded shots, no variants, poor printing, no detailed information of the toy or vehicles. Lame.
It literally has all those, I guess you didn’t click the link. Need to do more research next time.

>>11529616
It’s a book about TMNT toys, of course it’s on topic.

>>11529615
>>11529614

>>11529614
>Dan does research
Keep telling yourself that to justify being a paypig to e-celebs. How many Flip-or figures did you buy before you fell out of love with Hatter?

>>11529619
It literally has none of that and none of it as good and clear as the book Dan's done. You're making excuses for poorer attempts because you want to be a contrarian.

Wave 8 of the Super7 Ultimates line is on the BBTS Daily Deals today for $103.50. Easily one of their best waves, if not some of the best TMNT toys ever.

>>11529557
>you got your aha moment
Is that what knowing what you're talking about is called? I guess you wouldn't know that then.

>>11529626
Qrd?

>>11529646
Someone in this thread that has a habit of latching onto e-celebs was very adamant about promoting Mad Hatter's Flip-or Kickstarter in this thread despite the fact that it didn't fit in with TMNT at all. That same anon now claims that Hatter isn't a real fan of TMNT, probably because he made a joke about the sheer ineptitude of a certain company one too many times.

>>11529651
That didn't happen at all... You're lying to spin your own little bullshit world to feed to people.

>>11529651
Wow, you’re talking out of your ass yet again.

>>11529651
The only reason flippor got brought up in a TMNT thread, ever, was because NECA included a gag about it in one of their TMNT displays. So you are making shit up wholecloth. That Kickstarter had its own threads, and you were there bitching about them then too. You are very easily spotted, and that should tell everyone how much of a knob you are that you're still grinding your teeth about someone making toys. Seek help.

>>11529675
What was the gag?

>>11529679
A box labelled "Flipp-Or" being stolen by movie Foot

Where's the best place to order the Joytoy figures given how Aliexpress is probably going to be fucked by the tariffs?

>>11529702
Honestly I can’t in good conscience recommend those JoyToy figures to anyone. They are far from worth the cost.

>>11529702
Nerdzoic is a great store to buy from

>>11529675
>The only reason flippor got brought up in a TMNT thread, ever, was because NECA included a gag about it in one of their TMNT displays
Weird. Nothing about a NECA gag here.

>That Kickstarter had its own threads, and you were there bitching about them then too.
I said it was fucking ugly and not my thing, but I wished him luck.

Hey, in case anyone cared, I was able to return Shredder to Target without mg receipt. And I even lucked out in that they had another one, with his bracer, in the NECA section. So everything worked out at least.

>>11529796
Cool, glad you resolved your made up story in your head.

>>11529798
I ask again, why do you even care so much?

>>11529372
Do you.. not scratch your balls when they itch? What do you have a servant or something who does that?

>>11529801
Why do you even care so much to come on here and make up a whole story about how the piece was missing for a figure YOU broke?

>>11529803
What would I possibly have to gain from making this up? I even said if the piece was just broken off in the package I'd reglue it. Stop taking this so weirdly personal.

>>11529814
>What would I possibly have to gain from making this up?
You tell me, you’re the one constantly trolling this general.

>>11529821
You have issues bud. I hope you're able to work out whatever demons you have.

>>11529875
Interesting that you’re the one making entire stories up, yet I’m the one with issues. Cool, got it.

>>11529723
Weird, none of your bullshit you made up is there. Guess you ARE a retard.

>>11529520
there's definitely at least two of us real people in here among the one or more fakers

>>11529879
I ask again, what do I have to gain about lying abou this? And, why do you even care?

>>11529723
>some dummy posts something in the wrong thread by mistake
>retard gets so mad that he's still bringing it up now because can't stop seething
What a healthy level of autism. I'm sure the parents you burden every day of with your miserable life are so proud!

Tatsu might finally be getting shipped out to Canadian stores, DJCollectibles just announced he should be arriving in 2 weeks. Took long enough.

>>11529520
>people shouldn't be paid for their hard work
Cool dude

>>11529894
It took the normal amount of time though? Do you not understand how toy distribution works?

>>11529900
Tatsu has been available in the US for almost a full year. The delays in releasing it here have been the longest in the line yet, typically everything has been available within a month of the US release.

>>11529894
>Canaduh
Found the issue

>>11529894
>>11529901
His initial release was a lower production run than normal. Then there was the larger production run to account for all the demand in the US. There was a third run before it hit international markets. That’s why there was a delay, nothing took “long enough”. You are in the minority of collectors.

>>11529910
>lower production run than normal.
Actually the run wasn't that low, it was just in so high of demand that Walmart saw that and ordered more. But yes on the rest.

>>11529572
I remember one time the guy my mom was dating had a lil kid and Mom was being a good potential stepmom and reading to him, but the book they'd managed to get from the library was basically an advertisement for Batman Beyond, explaining the premise.

>>11529628
indeed. i'm feeling a little dumb for pulling the trigger on some of these when they were like, 35 or 45 for big ones. they were gonna keep getting cheaper!

>>11529910
>>11529912
How the hell would you know this unless you were a NECA employee or insider?

>>11529894
glad you're finally getting him. I still don't love the likeness, but it's close and he's a good figure.
figures of people with epicanthic folds have always kinda confused the figure sculptors. look at how hard it is to get a good looking Picard figure

>>11529900
Costumes Australian webstore had it in stock late last year and has long since sold out. The amount of time Canadians had to wait was definitely not normal.

>>11529936
>I still don't love the likeness, but it's close
You’re still going on about this? The likeness is perfect, it’s as close as it’s going to get.

>>11529939
it's not perfect, but it's very close, particularly around the mouth.
I see a lot of custom made ones that were put out before the official figure came out, and none of them were perfect either, but they at least understood how to sculpt asian eyelids

>>11529957
Dude that likeness is spot on. It's actually bizarre how much you keep harping on the sculpt. You keep making up things that aren't there.

>>11529957
>how to sculpt asian eyelids
You're an idiot. Jesus.

>almost exactly one minute apart
gosh

>>11529934
...Trevor fucking talks about it in one of the SDCC vids that year. You're an insane person. Information is out there, you only have to listen. I know that's hard for you.

>>11529880
What? That post shows the faggot shilling Flip-or in the TMNT general had nothing to do with NECA posting some gag. Try to keep up.
>>1152989
Anons usually delete if they post in the wrong thread, or at least apologise for posting in the wrong thread if they are newfags that can't figure out how to do it. That just shows how shamelessly he was promoting it. Also we wouldn't even be having this discussion if some faggot didn't start crying because anons didn't want to overpay for some shitty book written by a literal YouTube shill.
I'm happy to "burden" my parents. Do yours even talk to you?

/toy/ is real slow today

Don't know if I should get Joytoy Groundchuck and Dirtbag or Rahzar and Tokka before the tariffs possibly fuck up places to get them. GC and DB look more unique but the latter two are more iconic even though Tokka is just a Slash retool with similar accessories.

>>11530631
I got them. They're a little futzy because of the amount of rubber bits and overlays on them. They don't feel as fun as Bebop and Rocksteady. Still, yeah, figured I'd get them now than worry about the tariff bs.

Is Joytoy Casey Jones any good? Heard his feet are difficult to swap out.

Since I now have a spare Irma head, thinking about making a swimsuit version. Any recommendations on the body?

>>11530706
Forgot the pic.

>>11530665
I didn't have any problem swapping his feet, though I could see how it might be an issue, the peg is really tiny.
>>11530654
I got them yesterday, they're all good, but yeah, groundchuck is not as fun as I'd like because he has an overlay on his torso ontop of another overlay and a necklace on top of all that. Its a bit janky. He was one of my top 5 as a kid so I'm a little disappointed to find him not as solid as the triceratons or bebop and rocksteady, but I still like him more than the turtles or the human figures in the line.

>>11530631
they started raising their prices and blaming it on tariffs the moment they were -proposed-
there's no "oh i'll get in ahead of them" they pricegouged and they will never ungouge.

>>11530706
I was looking into this recently, and I feel like it's pretty hard to find bodies in that scale. I'm pretty sure the cavegirls from super7 thundercats are too big? But ie helps that Irma's really short, so you MIGHT be able to get away with a taller-woman 1/12 body.. with shorter legs.. oh that's rough.

Weird to me that they reveal this when NECA JUST showed off theirs at SDCC, not to mention their base Garfield figures aren’t even out yet. Strange business decision. NECA looks far superior than… this anyways, so it’s like a piss in the wind.

>>11530919
these will probably be interchangable with their own garfield though so thats cool, good way to get more face plates and hands

>>11530913
I was thinking about the trick or treaters that they've been releasing recently, but is there a girl one?

>>11530919
>Weird to me that they reveal this when NECA JUST showed off theirs at SDCC,
Do you really think they managed to whip up a prototype and solicit preorders in under a month? They obviously had it in development at the same time as the NECA one.
>not to mention their base Garfield figures aren’t even out yet. Strange business decision.
Yes. Companies should never put anything up for preorder until the previous figure has been released. It should take 4-8 years to complete a 4 man team like the TMNT or Ghostbusters.

>It should take 4-8 years to complete a 4 man team like the TMNT or Ghostbusters.
You joke, but that’s how long it’s gonna take for the Mondo ones to all come out

>>11530946
hm help me out, not familiar
also lemme see if there's a customs thread open yet
ohh there is >>11528298

>>11530969
>>11530686
these guys.

>>11530983
ohhh. yeah i don't think so. and a kid wouldn't have the right figure for Irma anyway. she's a curvy short jewess.

Any word on the Rage Toys turtle girls?

>>11531111
Canceled hopefully.

>>11531111
They've been strangely quiet. I worry the tariff shit might have shook things up.

>>11531131
That was my worry too, but it's also been 8 months since the prototypes were shown off and there's been no new images or anything else about them posted anywhere since.

>>11531111
Was Rage Toys the "legally distinct" seperate company from Fury Toys? Because Fury Toys only just released their Wukong which was due out late last year, so they are probably behind schedule on everything else too. I don't think there has been any sign of their Bebop yet either, of that was the same company.

>>11531163
Ohhh I get it. rage. fury. heh that's pretty goos.

our queen put up a good vidya on some bootleg shells

>>11532642
Does she have.. striped eyelashes? That might be the most visually distracting thing since facial piercings.

Probably best place to ask, but I'm looking for a nice Usagi Yojimbo toy, are there any good ones that I can get reliably?
I'm aware NECA made 3 or so (+Space Usagi) based on his older 80s design with the buckteeth lol, but are there any of his more modern design?
I also see there's a Chibi Usagi plushie on Stan's website, but it's out of stock. Is that it or does it sometimes come back in stock?

>>11532836
What counts as the modern look for you? There is this Usagi coming out soon as well as Stan style TMNT.

>>11532836
aw that is a cute as fuck plush.
>>11532838
i so want this.. it even reminds me of the old toy somewhat.

>>11532838
awwwwwshiet this looks great, had no idea this got announced. What does the other one you mention look like + when's it coming out?

Some of the TMNT collection.

Mondo Slash vinyl. Goes up...soon.

>>11533202
dude that is a sick corner. i love how you are mix and matching across lines but keeping a very solid vibe across it all, it works really well and maintains a little more of the tmnt grittiness (i usually go for the super colorful and wild aspect). that is super cool

>>11533304
he looks really cool but I think I'm not buying any others of these except splinter, they're just too big

>>11533486
agreed, the mixture of lines only draws the eye and makes you analyze more closely. it doesn't clash or feel 'wrong' at all. That's not easy to do.
>>11533497
how big are they? vinyls can't get THAT big, right? they'd bend under their weight
>>11533304
man I always loved how he has his own versions of the turtles' weapons.. even if the razor-wire nunchaku have NEVER been bendable in any way.

>>11533501
The mondo vinyls are about 8-9 inches tall, but they have great big oversized cardbacks as well. They come in a giant ass box.

>>11533202
This looks great. I have a smaller fire-escape staircase shelf set up, but this is next level.

>>11533501
mondos are in that collection pic above slash, on the left. they are not that huge but they're certainly big enough I can't dedicate the space to a whole bunch of them

Why is TMNT always refered to as ann 80s IP when most of the merchandise, toys, cartoon episodes, games, and movies came out in the 90s?
Wasn't 1999 pretty much the only year of the decade without anything Ninja Turtles related?

>>11533304
The mondo vinyl stuff is actually sick, but their figures… oof. The 1/6 stuff has a ton of flaws and the recent RGB figures prove those flaws carried over into their 1/12 stuff as well.

>>11533589
The cartoon started in 87 and the toyline in 88. The NES and arcade games were both 89. Turtle Power probably peaked in 1990 with the movie and the last really great year of the toyline, and after that was just the fire slowly burning out. You still had the occasional gem in the 90s like the Turtles in Time game and the Gatekeeper Rocksteady figure, but for every one of those, you had 20+ shitty episodes of the cartoon and a bunch of Turtles variants as Star Trek characters or whatever.

>>11533593
They don't though, and if there is ever a major issue they replace it. And nothing "carried over" to the Ghostbusters figures. You're talking clueless shit.

>>11533589

99 had the Image comic. 2000 had zip, and 2001 was the start of Volume 4.

>>11533559
that's pretty fuckin big. damn.
>>11533588
Ohhh those, yeah those are gigantic. especially since the turtles themselves seem to be roughly the same size as other characters.

>>11533589
the late 80s and early 90s are really their own separate thing, 100% distinct from the early 80s and late 90s. Anyone who lived through the culture or analyzed it must admit this.

it's the era that started with the discovery and labeling of sarcasm, and ended when all the men cut their hair all faggy and short

Reminder these three should be going up for preorder today.

>>11534324
Going up around 2EST

>>11533304
Slash is up for order now. $110, edition of 1000.

you think we'll eventually get an eastman and laird figure in mirage style, like Kirby?

>>11534564
I doubt Laird would give his likeness rights and while obviously Eastman would since we got the trashman figure, it’d be weird to get 1 without the other.

>>11533674
I think TMNT was still going pretty strong right up until Power Rangers came out, but that might just be me talking as a kid born in '85. Those born earlier in the 80s might well have seen TMNT already becoming kinda old by then.

you have to hand it to playmates, they DID try to adapt. we got all kinds of anime-ass chrome-armor cyber-this samurai-that turtles. I actually bought one of the Supermutants just because i'm like "hey, this guy isn't a tiny-legged fat piece of shit like the other turtle figures now look to me, a sophisticated ten year old."

>>11534682
For me personally, there wasn't nearly as much after 91 that comes close to the first 3-4 years. There were still a few cool mutants in 91, but they gradually dwindled it down to nothing but (mostly) mediocre variants of the main cast. Not that they were all bad. I still think Gatekeeper Rocksteady is one of the best figures in the entire line, and some of the sub-lines like Supermutants and Cyber Samurai were interesting. But for every one of those, you get a dozen pieces of shit like April the Ravishing Reporter and the Bodacious Birthday Turtles.
Even with the cartoon, the quality of the writing diminished as the seasons progressed. Yeah, it was Power Rangers in 93 that was the death knell for TMNT, but the toon had dropped off so badly by that point that I wasn't even aware of the Red Sky seasons until I was an adult. Sure, I was a teen by that point, but I'd still watch my VHS tapes of the first season and Attack of the Killer Pizzas occasionally at that age.

>>11534682
Batman:TAS, XMen, and other superhero cartoons killed TMNT's spot as being #1 with kids.

After they came out, toy shelves were dominated by superhero characters.

Power Rangers came out later and was sort of an oddball. While PRs were popular, all the wannabes and clones failed to gain any popularity. Whereas superhero had hits like Batman:TAS, XMEn:TAS, Superman:TAS, The Tick, Spiderman:TAS, Darkwing Duck, Spawn, Powerpuff Girls, ... and was Batman Beyond 90s?

>>11534848
Nah, Power Rangers was the clear heir to the TMNT throne.

>>11534848
Oh, and they knew who their competitor was, hence trying shift over to being more superhero-y.

First these and then the cartoon trying to ape Batman:TAS's dark look.

>>11534854
You clearly don't remember the toy aisles in the 90s and how hard everyone wanted to have their own superhero cartoon.

Even GI Joe wanted to reimagine itself as a superhero series, because superheroes were what kids wanted most.

Power Rangers was popular, but it was not like TMNT, He-Man, Batman, GI Joe, or Xmen, which dominated everything else when they were ontop of their game. The amount of shit made for these series was insane, so it's hard to say that Power Rangers touched that throne.

>>11534848
oh yeah BTAS and x-men can't be discounted. for me, x-men and power rangers were coterminous. I still remember that WILD night when they both aired in the evening with new, world-changing episodes. Kicked my ass right in the teeth, AND i got to watch with my parents and show them what i'm into.
>Beyond
I believe it came out in 1999/2000. they had an election 2000 joke where Terry doesn't remember who was president back then, because it hadn't happened yet while they were writing it.

>>11534855
I kinda said that already but yeah
>>11534861
which is why Toy Story pisses me off so hard. They could have actually evoked the 90s toy landscape, but no. they went playskool as fuck. I get that you wanted the leader to be an old 50s cowboy doll, I'm cool with that. but the rest? MIX IT UP a little. don't have nothing but lame shit. make the dinosaur actually cool lookin. every kid when Toy Story came out had a bunch of badass jurassic park dinos that looked so much better. this is supposed to be a normal kid in the 90s, not a toddler.

>>11534848
MMPR only came out about a year after B:TAS and X-Men:TAS, and absolutely eclipsed them both in ratings and toy sales in that first year. Neither capeshit shows ever reached the ratings of TMNT, which MMPR did within it's first season. Demand for the Zords that Christmas was borderline insane, and comparable to the Tickle Me Elmo craze a few years later.
I'm not blowing smoke up it's ass because I'm a fan either. B:TAS was my favourite show at the time, and I still hold it in higher regard than most shows from the last 30 years. But to pretend it was as embraced by kids as much as TMNT and MMPR is laughable.
>>11534855
>Oh, and they knew who their competitor was
Yeah. That's why The Next Mutation happened when their attempts to go slightly more grown up with the Red Sky seasons didn't grab the kids attention. Because Power Rangers was still dominating with Turbo and whatever else came after MMPR. Which was never as popular as those first 3 seasons of MMPR, but still more popular than Superman:TAS and The Tick.

>>11534861
Nah. Power Rangers, dude. You had to be there.

>>11534870
>But to pretend it was as embraced by kids as much as TMNT and MMPR is laughable.
Not pretending.
There's a reason why EVERYONE wanted to make superhero shit and have their own series, whereas Power Rangers got like two clones and they enver attempted anything thereafter.

And like i said, toy shelves were absolutely dominated by Batman and Xmen...

And i won't deny that Power Rangers had a tickle me elmo surge during the holidays, but that's exactly what that is, a brief moment where it shined and then kinda petered for the rest of the year.

And another thing is Power Rangers was kinda limited in that it was mainly younger kids that liked it. Superheroes (and TMNT) were more universal, so you had teens and adults buying them too and directly led to the collector toy market for action figures.

>>11534880
Go Go Power Rangers! Mighty Morphin Power Rangeeeeeeeeeeers!

>>11534870
in retrospect, my parents did a great job buying me zords. aside from Tigerzord and the carriers not named Pyramidas, I got the whole damn thing for the first.. four generations.
>>11534880
it's the difference between an explosion and a long, slow burn.

>>11534880
Power Rangers made over $1Billion in sales in 1994 alone.
I still remember my auntie frantically trying to find a Dragonzord for my younger cousin for Christmas that year. Find me articles that show Batman completely selling out at toy stores across the country while Power Rangers was airing.
https://www.nytimes.com/1994/12/05/us/with-power-rangers-scarce-a-frenzied-search-by-parents.html
Even this article says that sales of Batman figures was boosted by Power Rangers popularity, but PR was still outselling all other action figure lines.
https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-12-04-mn-4627-story.html

>>11534895
kids don't have that competition mindset. they have a 'whoa, two cakes' mindset. it doesn't matter which was bigger, they absolutely 'embraced' both. Not to mention, those kids probably already grew up on reruns of 60s Batman, so they had a link.

>>11534880
Even in 1993 during the first year of MMPR, Bandai issued a statement apologising for not being able to meet demand. It wasn't just a holiday surge, considering that it lasted from 93-95 when the original incarnation ended.

>>11534907
it's amazing how nothing has changed, and everyone still sucks at guessing demand. they either laughably underproduce things everyone obviously wants and bought previously, or overproduce garbage nobody wanted in the first place which has never existed before

that is an interesting graphic. It looks to have been drawn directly over a screencap. Among other things, the 'merch' graphics all had the coins on the chests, and the boot creases seem like perfect. on the other hand I remembern't the spandex pants ever being loose like that at the bottom.

>>11534893
>it's the difference between an explosion and a long, slow burn.
Maybe, but B:TAS and XMEn came out first and their influence was felt industry wide for ye- deca-... their influence still hasn't ended.

>>11534895
Like i said, i won't deny that Power Rangers had that surge, but it was a blip compared to the long standing rule of TMNT. It's very hard to compare that shit when it had no lasting effect. PR was an oddball series.
And it's hard for me to find age old articles and i doubt my wizard magazine even has the ratings for Power Rangers, so i wouldn't be able to compare them.

Also, i forgot to mention that the the B:TAS inspired TMNT seasons kept them running for years.
Next Mutation failed hard and i don't actually remember it finishing its single season because it kept changing its timeslot.
Nevermind TMNT's was reacting to superheroes first, and not Power Rangers. NM seems more like they're grasping at straws after having lost its relevancy and its way cheaper to do live action shit than another cartoon

>>11534907
A low expectation series not having enough supplies for its first year? Not shocking stores didn't order shit for some unknown series that many other networks passed on. There's a reason why your articles are from 1994 and not 1993... or 1995.
It's not surprising that Power Rangers lost steam by 1995, where little kid movies based on 50 year tired properties did better.

>>11534937
>And it's hard for me to find age old articles and i doubt my wizard magazine even has the ratings for Power Rangers
You don't need to. There are plenty of articles that state that TMNT was the best selling toy of 1990 and Power Rangers was the best selling toy of 1994. And Batman, X-Men, and all the capeshit you listed never came close to those sales numbers. Batman didn't even hit those highs during the Batmania of 89.
>Nevermind TMNT's was reacting to superheroes first, and not Power Rangers
Really? It was reacting to the thing that came out a full year before Power Rangers first? I can't imagine why it didn't react to Power Rangers first. Those goddamn temporal limitations!

>>11534937
>Next Mutation failed hard
Yeah, the addition of Venus the female Turtle and it's more comedic tone really alienated existing fans.
Still, considering that after the cartoon was axed despite being reworked to be closer in tone to the Batman animated series, and the rights were given to Saban (the same company that made both MMPR and the X-Men cartoon) there must be a reason that Saban chose to make their version of TMNT more like MMPR than their X-Men series. I wonder what that reason would be? Would you like to guess?

>>11534949
>Really?
Yes, really.
Go look at my post >>11534848 where I'm responding to some guy who says that TMNT was going pretty strongg until Power Rangers.
In actuality, it was B:TAS and XMen that dethroned TMNT, hence TMNT reacting to superheroes becoming the new big thing.

>There are plenty of articles that state that TMNT
The thing about news media is that they're there to give you a few factoids to entertain you. It' mostly there to sensationalize and if it's not "newsworthy", it becomes much harder to find info about that sort of shit. You need to subscribe to a trade magazine or industry reports like TRST/NPD to get any real info. In 1990, they wrote about TMNT because it got its first movie.

So Power Rangers got a lot of reports in 1994 because their kids started having a lot of trouble getting toys for the holiday and because it became a rule for the media to report on whatever the NEW HOT THING IS to sell more toys. Otherwise, toys get ignored for the rest of the year. And no one reports on #2 or #3 HOT THING

I'm sure you're linking to shit you found on wiki, and since they're fans, they're not really going to report on how sales dropped in 1995, because negative news is negative. Or did the media not even remember PR existed in 1995? Who knows, because it's hard research this stuff if you're not a college student with free access to dozens of databases.

Probably the only good news article i've found https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-atlanta-constitution/132060719/ since it actually gives some context and comparisons.

>>11534937
yeah I think we can say like
there's a spectrum of how quickly something got huge and how long it lasted
cape shit never had 'manias' but it's been enduring for decades
tmnt had a mania, but even after it, it's still endured
power rangers' mania ended and that was basically the end of its relevance, though it did keep going til very recently, and it had far fewer years-off than TMNT did

let's be super real though. TMNT and power rangers ARE capeshit. just one is capeshit parody, and the other is like a six-generations-deep telephone game of what superheroes are, by japanese filmmakers specializing in live action stunts on the cheap.

I just got back from seeing the anniversary run of TMNT. I was pleasantly surprised at how many people were there to see it! Not only that but people were still enjoying the movie and laughing at the jokes (of course the "claustrophobic" joke got the biggest laugh).

Really makes me appreciate the movie toy line we got, too.

>>11536596
The line is like 15 figures, plus a vehicle, in. It's been nothing but a moneymaker for them.

>>11536598
We’re really calling that shitty motorcycle a vehicle? It was a pack in accessory, I’ll give them credit for not just using John Connor’s like they did for movie Casey, but a real vehicle is something like the Turtle Van. Which they couldn’t even do that right since they got the roof wrong.

>>11536606
Oh look at that, straight to trolling! I accept your concession.

Isn't it convenient how whole vehicles are reduced to being a "pack in" when a troll is mad about something? Huh.

>>11536624
When you’re using said vehicle as an example of the success of a line, absolutely. This wasn’t some haslab level of vehicle, just a motorcycle included with a figure. Has no actual bearing on the actual success of the line.

>>11536627
Except it does. A line doing well means they put the tooling into a whole new vehicle.

>>11536598
Actually the line is almost 30 figures at this point. Plus vehicle, plus accessory set, plus upcoming street scene repaint.

>>11536613

>>11534564
There was a rumor going around that a set was coming with them. I suspect it still is, but as with many things, it probably got moved around.

Got a good deal on eBay for the NECA Turtle Van and it arrived today… honestly it’s very disappointing. Came out of the box broken. Easy enough fix with glue but still. The plastic is super thin, and seems brittle. The doors are on single hinges that can barely hold up the doors weight. Looks great, but very poor design and just waiting to break. Would not recommend, just get the Super7 one.

>>11538036
that's what i heard about the doors.
Seeing the front seat taken out reminds me of how the UA van really needs seats in back before i'll be fully content with it.

>>11538036
This is obvious bait. NECAtard will still reply to it and feed the trolls, giving you a reason to continue trolling his fucking retarded existence.
I will delete this post because if he sees it he won't reply to you, so this way if it happens, the archive can show that I predicted it like Nostradamus. Feel free to screencap it just to remind him that he is as predictable as the sunrise.

>>11538036
it was their first attempt at something larger in the tmnt line to be fair, cool concept but could have used a little more time in the oven

>>11538096
there's also just inherent difficulties in selling a larger item like that. I bet they could have gotten the costs down a LOT if it came completely unassembled and flatpacked into a smaller box. but then you'd have to deal with making sure the connection points are solid and that nobody can be put in the wrong way and a bunch of other shit.

>>11538036
Oh fuck you, not even your photo, first off nothing there is broken. The plastic is not at all brittle, you'd have to be doing some retard fits to do any damage to it. It is NOT poorly designed either you retard nutjob. Fuck off shilling the Super7 shit.

>>11538041
There's nothing wrong with the doors. He's regurgitating trolling points and you're buying into it.

Have you ever considered not replying to obvious bait, or does your mental disability prevent you from resisting that compulsion?

No, you're a troll because you have done nothing but troll the thread. And the fact that you think anyone should just let your BS posts go unchallenged is hilarious. You will always be labeled a troll.

No, I haven't trolled the thread. I'm pointing out that you can't stop feeding the trolls, which only encourages them. And even if I was a troll, you are still replying to me while accusing me of being a troll, which proves that you can't stop replying to trolls.

Meh, just like the rest of their figures.

>>11538512
they need to shut down
they needed to be shut down already, due to fraud, anticompetitive behavior, massive international law violation, and.. yknow, literally making bioweapons
but now they need to be shut down because the money is being taken away. except in 3 years they'll surely get twice as much. that's how they planned it.

now let's stop talking about it, nobody should have been buying their TMNT from there anyway. the only thing that could get me to is if they started making the toys Super7 wasn't allowed to.

>>11538677
It's ok. Small. Nothing amazing, especially compared to some others in the line.

>>11538733
Nah, Uncle Ali helped me get all of my NECA collection both early and cheaper. Sad to see them go.

>>11538748
You really are an idiot

>>11538748
unfortunately, I think for that kind of thing, those tend to be bootlegs, rather than stolen, which is what you'd... i mean, "want" is the wrong word, but... prefer?

>>11529802
Can't scratch what isn't there.

>>11538976
so.. the insult "ball-scratching" just means you hate men

>>11538985
No, just that the particular anon using the term has no balls.

>>11538993
anon I'm not sure you're following me here..
see anon was insulted by being called a ball-scratching basement-dweller
and I'm like, you're supposed to scratch them. that's not an insult. If anything, a guy who has itches and refuses to scratch them would be the gross guy worthy of mockery. because like, all his dead skin would just build up.

>>11539001
It means you're a lazy idiot. Which you have proven.

>>11539001
And I'm saying that he has no balls to itch so the concept of ball scratching is genuinely alien to him.

>>11539193
well that makes even less sense. also i'm not the guy you said it to.
>>11539379
so you're saying he used it as an insult purely due to his balllessness, leading to unfamiliarity and then the clumsy, nonsensical insult.
Okay I'm with you now. But I still feel like even the ballfree must understand the concept of scratching. I don't have a twat but I wouldn't use 'twat-scratching' as an insult because of course you have to scratch it sometimes.

>>11539630
You are actually a massive fucking git.

I’m not sure I can support NECA anymore after seeing some stuff posted in the NECA thread last night. Guess I’ll just get into the JoyToy stuff.

>>11540293
Even if the prices are likely to get fucked due to tariffs?

>>11540296
I’m not in the US so thankfully that doesn’t apply

>>11540293
Oh fuck off you slimeball troll. You're such a massive faggot.

>>11540293
Obvious troll is obvious

>>11540293
I've just been sticking to the base 2012 TMNT set and the vintage stuff myself. The only exemption I made was the Usagi set because the Stan Sakai style.

>>11540359
You're responding to a troll.

>>11538036
Why are you stealing images and posts from years old Reddit posts?

>>11541382
Why are you replying to a three day old shitpost that is obviously bait?

>>11541427
Why are you white knighting a troll?

>>11541612
Telling retards not to feed trolls isn't white knighting trolls, retard.
Would you tell me I'm white knighting a snapping turtle if I told your dumb ass not to stick your hand in the snapping turtle's mouth?

>>11541819
You are such a fumbling retard. Quit sticking up for those wrecking the board.

$33 for the Super7 Gorilla in the bbts daily deal. That's a great deal for the big boy.

>>11541830
Better, indeed. Terrible toy though. They really sold it on just being huge and not being able to use the accessories.

>>11541830
Now that the dust has settled, why did they go through this much trouble to do an off-brand Sergeant Gorilla? And make it way bulkier than the comic Guerilla or SG were?

>>11540293
Neca is a trash company and you should never give them money or buy any toys from them.
We also should ban any neca discussions in /tmnt/ threads. Same with playmates. Both are making disgustingly bad toys for poor people who can't afford any decent ninja turtle figure.

>>11541987
It's assumed this was being designed around the time Playmates stopped allowing them to use the old toy designs, so as their own little "Fuck you" to Playmates they found a gorilla character in the franchise they could do with whatever they wanted. I think they underestimated the cost of making him that big which probably caused all those delays, which turned their epic "fuck you" into a running joke that's killed the line.

>>11541994
You're having a crazy fit again. Get help.

>>11541997
That's certainly when the line started going sideways for me. Waves 8 and 9 come out before wave 7 and the company can't even be arsed to make some kind of explanation or excuse.

>>11541987
There is no comic Guerilla.

>>11541997
Is that why their Radioactive Man is fat?

>>11542071
I've never seen their Simpsons stuff

Well fuck. My Target Ultimate Shredder went from preordered, to backordered, to cancelled. Ended up just getting one off ebay alongside Claw Shredder to finish off my Shredder Clones and give Krang his heterosexual lifepartner Saki.

Also have Stupid Sexy Mirage Shredder coming from BBTS alongside Nendo Gold Ship.

>>11541830
I got the wave with Slash and Scratch, plus two of the $30 Mousers to bring it to 15 of the little guys. Here's hoping Rat King or his wave entirely gets discounted.

Was the wave with Leatherhead and Ray hit the hardest by the shitty S7 loose hips? I know people say it was a problem from wave 1, but my Turtles at least seemed fine...

>>11542135
>S7 loose hips
Yawn. You’re still doing this? That absolutely was never a thing and you know it.

>11542140

There's a reason he didn't sell and is 60% off the original price

>>11542140
You're still a very dumb troll

>>11542135
I think the worst figure for the hips is krang easily, he's so floppy

if anybody wants this beast, bbts is probably not gonna have this sale again. I wish I'd waited a little longer, but I got mine with coupons so whatever.
>>11541830
oh nvm you said it already.

Super 7s I don't have but would buy for under $25:
Neutrino
Rocker Leo
Rappin Mikey
Rat King
Damaged Foot Soldier

Everything getting clearanced I already bought at full price like a dope.

>>11541853
I'm really only unsatisfied with the weapon-holding ability and the slightly bad eye printing vs the original render
>>11541987
good question, but I have to admit, he looks neat on the shelf (once I repainted him). got him knucklewalking..

>>11542067
there is no non-comic guerrilla.

wait, do you mean there's no Neca Guerrilla -toy-? because yeah there isn't. What anon meant is that this toy is bulkier than the -character- as depicted in the comic. not that it's bigger than the neca toy, if one existed.

>>11542135
it was so sweet hearing James Avery, in his last years, being interviewed about Shredder and saying he imagines he and Krang have just retired to Florida.
two mouser packs
they are cute little guys. I ended up giving the battle damaged ones (was it one or two?) to a neighbor kid.
>discounted rat king
yeah let's hope. that's a SOLID good figure. and you can buy more rats from him on amazon for cheap.
>loose hips
leatherhead has a little trouble, but it's mostly due to his body to leg ratio. ray's hips seemed okay. I do suggest having some polyurethane on hand to tighten them up
>>11542171
yet he got you to reply.

>>11542195
i actually kind of enjoyed price-hunting for these, waiting for them to go down. it's so sad they're over now.. I really want someone else to pick up the slack.
I too would be semi okay with damaged foot soldier, but I wish they at least fixed his weapon sizes.

>>11542203
Yet you're still a faggot

>>11542240
i apologize for bothering you, anon.

There's a really great short up on NECA's instagram and Facebook with the 2012 turtles. They're saying they're out in September...and the Target Fall Geek Out starts this Friday and continues through to October.

Probably a good bet the four 2012 Turtles are hitting then.

New fold out Turtle Lair by Playmates.

Price is $40

>>11543403
pretty generous definition of 'trunk' and the typical off scale, but otherwise neat idea. if I was a kid and didn't care, i'd want my dad to grab me one of those for like 15 bucks.

>>11543403
>>11543404
>>11543405
Actually pretty neat, plus the roof doesn’t sag

>>11543414
kek. good luck, guys

wait does it come with two figures?

>>11543418
Obviously

>>11543414
Fuck off, nobody cares

>>11543416
Kys already.

>>11543422
oh then that's an okay price.

>>11543403
Wow, cardboard crap. Try a little less Playmates.
