Cowabunga!

>>11558670
Sounds like you just have bad taste.

>>11558674
No smiling head for Raph is strange

>>11558679
Yeah it’s weird that Mike and Donnie get smiling heads and Raph gets two angry heads and Leonardo gets an angry and closed eye head? Seriously, who’s going to display the figure with its eyes closed? Each figure should have one angry head and one happy head. End of story.

>>11558682
And this is why you aren't in charge of toy lines.

And this is kinda all the news at the moment. Weirdly JoyToy has been silent on new reveals (is tariff shit messing that up?).

The Playmates rerelease Sewer Lair is IN STOCK on Amazon right now and has been shipping out to folks.

>>11558684
The turtles smiled all the time in 2012. People either display their turtles in battle or doing goofy stuff and Raph and Leo can’t do that.

>>11558679
When does Raph ever smile?

>>11558681
Were his pauldrons really that weird looking in the cartoon?

>>11558688
The series is known for a wild array of expressions. If you think we aren't getting more heads very, very soon, you haven't been paying attention.

>>11558692
He smiled a lot in the 2012 series

>>11558697
And he glowered and yelled more.

>>11558696
We shouldn’t have to buy add ons to have a full set of happy turtles.

>>11558681
Shitter

>>11558700
In this economy you do

>>11558703
You'll get new expressions in the ultimate 4 pack that comes with all 4 turtles as they are now and 2 additional heads for each turtle. Can't wait for them to do April for this series.

>>11558728
Who was the Chuck Norris type guy? The series had some interesting bad guys.

>>11558728
Eh, I’ll wait for the second release.

>>11558728
>>11558745
Fuck off you stupid cunt.

>>11558732
Bradford. He turned into Dogpound and then later Rahzer after a second mutation.
>>11558750
>takes obvious bait instead of responding to anon asking about 2012
Same as it ever was.

>>11558670
>>good Renet figures never ever neither
The NFT one is perfect though.

>>11558824
Is it this one or the other color that ended up at Ross?

>>11558659
>>11558667

>>11558677
It appears to be a complete miss, these second faces raise the question of why they were created. Leo's face is still acceptable, but the others do not resemble themselves at all. The choice of emotions is peculiar, and Donnie's face appears comical. The accessories are not bad, but I am confident that articulation will be significantly more limited than old revoltech figures.
But the proportions are definitely closer to the source material.
>>11558681
Although the Shredder is definitely the best on the market will be, there is no more dynamic and detailed version of this particular version never will be.

>>11558677
What the fuck?

>>11558668
>>11558674
>>11558677
These 3 have alright casual faces but Leo is just him meditating or in a coma before his voice mutated into Seth Green?
>>11558672

>>11558824
Hot

>>11558824
>Blecha

The 2012 art style is so flat and simple that you might as well just go with Playmates over Neca and save a few bucks and have a more sturdy toy.

>>11558871
They were hoping to convey the effect from the cartoon where his eye is always slightly more vertical. But it just didn't work out.

>>11558657 (OP)
Well they're not as stiffly posed as the live action movie figures are at least.

>>11558850
>the others do not resemble themselves at all.
You are incredibly wrong. About everything, holy shit.

>>11558871
Yeah that's Donnie, what about it?

>>11558922
It worked out just great actually. Weird how you think you know anything about 2012 now.

>>11559017 >>11559021
NECA damage control bot in position

>>11559028
Lame ass troll

Why won't NECA release "default" versions of the Archie turtles?

>>11559032
Why are you asking like they aren't?

>>11559036
Have they been announced?

who 2003 here?

>>11559032
Is it stepping on the toes of the 80s stuff too closely?

>>11558668
>>11558672
>>11558674
>>11558677
These look kinda off. I'll still be buying Mikey for ice cream kitty but no reason to buy the others.
>>11558681
Am I misremembering or did Shredder look way cooler in the cartoon?

>>11559117
What?

>>11559152
Looks spot on to me

>>11558681
The Krang is a nice touch.

>>11559152
His armor was always kinda dumb in that one. He was just always in the shadows and dramatic angles and stuff.

>>11559030
No, no, he's just a fan trying to defend his favorite company, that is, damage control, not a lame ass troll

>>11559186
Wow, you're a troll and you're dumb as a bag of bricks.

>>11559186
Why do people do this? Big corporations like this, they are not your personal friend. They exist to make a profit and don't personally give a shit about you.

>>11559190
No sense of personal identity so they latch on to whatever is popular among a group of people. It's quite common.

where's the best place to get the Joytoy TMNT stuff?

>>11559215
The dump, where they belong.

>>11559217

>>11559220
My comment wasn’t regarding the scale, those JoyToy figures just aren’t good.

>>11558649
>tokka had a baby
what
>there's tons of empty space inside the egg
god these people were stupid. less ugly design than most of theirs, though
>that's what it was like in the show
it was? Huh. I guess I only briefly noticed long enough to go "hey, they used my idea for Don having a naginata and Mike having kusari-gama!" and then went "but they transform, which is.. extra impossible.. okay whatever"

>>11559190
the people teaching you about 'big corporations' are also not your friend

>>11559371
I didn't imply they were. Fuck off. :)

>>11559373
just makin sure dude
lotta culty behavior going on on both sides.

>>11559380
Fair enough, anon. I see your point.

>>11559380
On both sides? Really? No.

>>11559380
No there isn't. The people pointing out the evils of corporations aren't doing it because they have the power or some way to benefit from it. At least on here.

>>11559408
open your eyes, son

>>11559237
What exactly is so bad about them?

How's the QC on Mutant Mayhem stuff? No, I'm serious.

>>11559602
Mutant Mayhem? It's all fine. Typical Playmate's. I did have some loose joints on the Turtles when I first gor them on release, but nothing too awful I guess.

>>11559602
There's been reports of the Splinter consistantly having one leg a few mm shorter than the other and I had a Rapheal hand pop off but that's an easy enough fix with some sticky tack.

>>11558668
Sadly no spinning 'chuks. Super 7 is the only domestic company I've seen that's included them.

>>11558728
>>11558745
They literally have a 3D model to base their sculpt off of and compare it mesh-over-mesh with the original, so if they fuck her up there's no excuse.

What 2012 bad guys do you think we'll see next? Rocksteady and Bebop seem like a given.

>>11559636
and even then only their final entry.
I do like the spinning chuks if you're gonna include anything that makes them floppy like a chain..
otherwise I want them on bendy wires (really only works for movie Mike, which is weird because chains are hard to draw, yet ONLY drawn Mikeys have them. well and CG) so I can display them in mid-swing via bending..
solid one piece plastic ones are RIGHT. OUT. they must be flexy and not just spring back into a straight line.

>>11559648
If they're made of softer flexible plastic I use hot water to warm them up and pose them.

>>11559656
that works okay. but then you're still kinda stuck in one pose and they still look a little stupid.

>>11558657 (OP)
Still no Gizmo
Still no Cerebus
Still no Bloodsucker

>>11559679
>Cerebus
Never going to happen.
