This is on sale at Target at $45, and if you spend $50 in toys you get an extra $10 off. From the information I gathered, the paint job on this one is better than the regular release.
The turtles themselves use the exact same buck as the battle shell, but there's no way you can open the shell unless you unscrew the belts and remove the armor. Also Leo and Donnie without their armor have little plastic bits plugging up gaps.
After owning the 2012 basics and Battle Shell, Is it worth it?

>After owning the 2012 basics and Battle Shell, Is it worth it?
it's time to stop buying
That shiny fugitioid is kinda sexy though...
>>5241533
i thought chrome still flaked this day and age. i mean arent we getting a regular fugitoid at least?
>>5241548
>arent we getting a regular fugitoid at least?
We are.
Yeah, here's the regular one.
>>5241666
Walmart has Fugitoid in stock with store free pick up if anyone is interested.
>>5242476
Not no more.
>>5242534
Well that was fast. Mondo Gecko sold out earlier too. There's still Mozar in stock. Funny he has a pic of Zog instead. Zog doesn't even have a release date.
>>5242541
Oh shit, didn't now they were doing the triceratons already! I'll definitely be buying those...and Mondo...and the David Tennant robot. YAY!
>>5242541
Yeah I noticed that. I'm definitely getting Mondo when I find him. They also had Karai sold out.
I found my old mondo. I know good and well he won't be as detailed as the old one, but I'm excited because I love the new version of him.
My biggest complaint with the newest wave is that the triceratons don't have weapons.
You know what's nice about the main tmnt figure line? They're just toys. They're simple and decently priced.
I've been so used to Japanese imports and gunpla that I've taken basic fun for granted.
I'm glad the show is so popular to get us these.
"I'm Professor Honeycutt, Fugitoid."
Too bad the ship they're planning to release is just a one person vehicle with a weird repaint of Space Mikey sans armor.
I guess it makes a decent scout ship at least.
>>5242602
I kind of like the white front she'll.
>>5242605
>shell
Also, even though I expected it, the lack of paint on the space turtle's weapons suck. I wanted that back of packaging white and red/orange/purple/blue.
Are we getting Panda Kahn?
>>5242797
Not sure since he is owned by someone else. Same thing applies towards Usagi
>>5242797
>>5242810
Seen this floating around.
>>5242875
oh goodie, funko pops
>>5242879
Weird insult considering it looks nothing like a pop.
>>5242883
its sad when funko pop have better paint apps than playmates
>>5242890
Oh it's you. You're attempt at trolling methods never get old for you?
>>5240197
They brought back the fugitoid in this series? What plot line does this series follow.
>>5243049
Next season, the turtles and Honeycutt fight the triceratrons and Lord Dregg. They also encounter various aliens based off of old random characters from the 90s like Mona Lisa (now the same species as Newtralizer) and Armaggon.
Armaggon is now a Sharkticon. Too bad his figure will probably be super disappointing.
This is out.
Wonder why 2007 movie Leo was omitted, we have Fast Forward though...
>>5243055
Don't forget Wyrm. Also even though I'm not a big doctor who fan anymore I can appreciate David Tennant as fugitoid. It fits.
>>5243093
Weird part is that they have Next Mutation instead of the 07 movie (which was actually pretty good) also why 2 of the same 2003 toon version? I get one is fast forward, but it's not like the show wasnt part of the 2003 one.
Also I need a mikey set.
>>5243093
I think they said the 2007 Leo mold was damaged.
>>5242541
>that thing
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!
is this supposed to be a new Triceraton?!
hoooooleeee-fuck.
they actually outdid themselves in their shittiness. im actually surprised.
why oh god why
>>5243205
This is the crazy dying one found in the sewers without any of his gear. Based off one of the original issues.
Are they still making their huge characters at the same exact size as the turtles?
>>5243257
Yes.
>>5243231
>This is the crazy dying one found in the sewers without any of his gear. Based off one of the original issues
do you understand that this "muh backstory" description dont save that toy from the fact that its shitty?
>>5243293
Looks fine to me, really.
>>5243302
>shit articulation is okay
this is why /toy/ is so terrible these days
>>5243302
>Looks fine to me, really.
thats ok. Some people have lower standarts.
>>5243306
HEY THIS TYOY IS AWZUM! BETTER THAN YOUR 80-90S CRAP!!!
>>5243293
That's not what I'm saying. If you understood anything youd realize the look is accurate and also doesn't look like the other triceratons
>>5243306
>>shit articulation is okay
also i wasnt talking about articulation
that sculpt is terrible. its basically a typical shit from current TMNT line that you should avoid.
>>5243314
Nobody is making these arguments.
>>5243318
shame, you really convinced me into buying a childrens toy with sub par articulation and way below the standard collecting value for mature adults like myself :)
>>5243319
I'm trying to figure out who you're attempting to make fun of.
>>5243321
I'm trying to figure out why playmates keeps sending interns here :)
>>5243324
You okay there? Like you make fun fans of turtles then you make fun of people who hate on the fans all in one post.
>>5243093
not really a turtles fan myself; but I got to give much respect to such a sight.
>>5242602
almost makes me want to buy TMNT toys again.
I just buy tmnt figures I like or actually look decent. The basic and battle shell turtles offer a lot at the price point, Both have the most articulation and accessories.
Fugitoid is actually a step up from his past releases even if the only major thing they did was gave him and shoulder hinges.It's unfortunate they didn't give him an accessory of some sort.
>>5240197
Not really been into Turtles so much for this series, but this Fugitoid character has me interested. How many episodes are out at the moment? Is it worth watching the whole show so far or just the ones with the character in particular?
>>5244500
Season 4 just started, but fugitoid didn't show up until the last minute or so of the season 3 finale.
The whole show is worth watching. Though when they're out at April's cabin it kind of drags.
Check it out.
>>5244729
Yep. Fugitoid isn't out in his carded form, but the turtles, dregg, and mozar are out.
I've only seen the turtles at target and the other two at Wal-Mart.
>>5244743
Oh but it seems some people on Ebay have the carded figure, I guess they were just the lucky few that got it from wherever. I'll look into the show though.
>>5244795
Yeah you'll see that. It'll be in stores soon.
>>5244743
Wal-Mart had it in stock online briefly, just keep an eye out. The hard thing about TMNT figures is almost everything is packed one per case and so many turtle figures thrown in assortments. To make matters harder some stores have too many mutations mix and match figures eating up space as well.
>>5245764
I wish the mutations like wasn't the majority of the action figures. If they had knee and elbow articulation it would be different because some of them look better in that form.
"My very own clone!"
>>5245989
The only good thing I can say about mix and match mutations is you can figures of certain off scale characters taller. So Slash, Rocksteady, Bebop, and maybe Rahzar and Dogpound benefit from this. They all had pretty iffy articulation to begin with. Wish they did Leatherhead and Newtralizer too for the heck of it.
But yeah Hero Mashers and the Mix Match Power Rangers figures cost about the same, gives you knee and elbow articulation and are bigger, so not sure what Playmates was thinking when they made this sub line.
>>5249225
Honestly, this thing looks like what 90% of my first semester Maya students make for their robot project. If the designer took more than 30 minutes to whip that up, they should feel ashamed.
>>5249239
I like the simplicity of the design, it's very retro.

>>5249275
When we go through UV mapping, the first semester students struggle because it can be a difficult process with lots of aspects that they can flub over. So... no, it's a completely different type of thing.
>>5249295
Maybe make a better joke? I'll give you 30 minutes to whip one up.
>>5243093
MY COCK GONE BLAASSSTTT
>>5243314
I saw this figure once and never again.
>>5243093
Does anyone know yet if they're fully poseable figures?
>>5257772
They're just re-releases.
>>5257780
Yes, but did they glue the figures' joints?
>>5243063
>mfw they get licensing to use streetshark molds
>mfw i have no face
>>5243164
i have a few thoughts on that:
-2k7 series toys were much taller than any of these, it would have stood out heavily in the lineup (and caused packaging to be even larger)
-popularity (collector wise) - movie star leo is fairly expensive and part of the original toyline technically, same as 2k3 + FF. Though I think the 2k7 movie basic figures are fairly expensive as well
anyway, huge tmnt fan/collector here, I'm actually kind of happy to say I'm skipping on this thing. I will always have an urge to get it because I want a complete collection one day, but I already own everything in this package except the new movie figure (I have completely ignored all new movie merch)
i dont have the space, and the money saved is welcome for other things, so...eh
>>5257795
That would be too much work for Playmates.
>>5259423
Oh no. A store patron broke a toy. Completely the fault of playmates.
>>5257795
No. Idiot.
>>5243314
Pixel Dan is a fuckin retard.
>>5259773
Mute his videos. He's a sellout and way too perky, but he at least shows what needs to be shown and uses a good camera to show. His reviews are well done if you can ignore His personality.
>>5259764
It's not dumb to think that. The pic clearly shows that Playmates has done it before. With half of the set's figures available separately, there's no need to have them all jointed.
It might even be cheaper to produce the figures as single, immobile pieces.
Not exactly toy-related, but what are everyone's opinions on the show? I lost track in the tail-end of season 2 and am wondering if it's worth picking it up again.
>>5260038
It got good again.
End of Season 3 has one main spot that's an annoyance(Casey's reaction), but Season 4's off to a fucking great start
>>5259813
They did it with a limited exclusive release.
>>5259804
Nah. Just have common sense.
>>5260038
Christ I havnt seen that pic in years , Want a Newer pic?
So i'm slowly collecting the new line of turtles to replace my old, fairly beaten up 2003 set. I have a few questions if someone wouldnt mind helping me out here.
1. I read on amazon that there are releases in this line that have better paint jobs than others, like Casey Jones with a brown painted bat rather than white. Is this true, and if so where can I find them?
2. Is the Leatherhead a statue or is is more posable than its package made it seem?
3. Is Slash rare and in scale to the other figures? I haven't seen one yet.
4. Are there figures that work better as the Mutation brand than the standard counterpart?
5. Are there any toys with huge qc issues that I should avoid?
Thanks alot to anyone who helps me learn here.
>>5260596
1. Never heard that before
2. Not a statue but it's very basic
3. He may be hard to find now, but he's cool. Not to scale.
4. Probably the bigger ones like tiger claw and such because they're larger figures
5. The battle shell turtles have some issues with lower legs being given to the wrong turtle. My Raph had two left biceps but I was able to fix it.
>>5260697
Hey thanks anon, cleared alot up for me
>>5260596
1. nope just white
2. very basic articulation no elbow or knee joints.
3. Slash is floating around where I am, consider the Mutations one instead if you want better scaling and don't mind katoki proportions.
4. Slash, Tigerclaw, Rocksteady, and Bebop
5. nothing too rampant I'm aware of, but playmates has multiple factories so parts swapping the two figures of the same character may not work
I originally thought about leaving my white 2012 Fugitoid figure at work, but he's just so damn fun and charming I've been just taking him home and back the past week.
