The Mic and Match figures for "Tales" have been shown and apparently are shipping out too. The Mutant Mayhem line itself seems to be getting marked down and pushed to outlet stores.
>>11023990*Mix
The big news is Playmates is rereleasing the Technodrome vehicle/playset!...Except not really. It's a new mold. And it's smaller than the original. Notice how the figures look cramped in the photos? That's why. Playmates dropping the ball right at the end.
Super7 glow in the dark Reactions
NECA's SDCC exclusives are currently being announced, you can bet there'll be a TMNT set.
>>11023994I was buying it to steal parts for my original but I doubt they're compatible now. So I don't need it.
>>11023994I can't tell if it's smaller, but it for sure is a new mold made to resemble the original at first glance. The vintage Technodrome wasn't that big in the first place.
>>11024037It's already been confirmed smaller.
Seeing more of the Walmart deluxe ToG figures around. Krang dried up fast though.
Examples of it being a new sculpt from last thread:>>11023321>>11023678>>11023680>>11023699>>11024038We wont know how size different it is or isn't until it's in hand next to an original. The proportions on some things are different in the sculpts, but we don't know how different. Certain things look to be design improvements to make the dome sturdier, by making it thicker, with better latches. Size wise it was always kinda small.
>>11024050It's two inches smaller all around. I get your whole thing is to be as obtuse as possible as everyone tells you how wronf you are, but this has already been discussed online. Playmates shrunk it down and no amount of dicksucking will change that.
>>11024056Where has it been said?
>>11024062This amazing website called Twitter. And also the measurements of the toy that were posted.
>>11024064Fuck off Alexjonesfag. We're not interested in your dangerous conspiracy theories.
>>11023994
Did bstaxn ever fix their shitty joints? Is the Mezco releases really the only decently articulated turtles?Not even the 3p ones seem to be able to cross their arms.
>>11024074No. They've only adjusted the scale for some figures.
>>11024074Why would you want them to cross arms?
>>11024074>Did bstaxn ever fix their shitty joints?Oh Heaven's no. They got uglier.
>>11024080>They got uglier.Wait, really?
>>11023990Worse than Rise
>>11024077Cool ninja action, or dynamic poses. >>11024080Fuck.
>>11024086The designs are pretty atrocious, if we're being honest. There's nothing about those toys that say they're TMNT. They're ridiculously generic and...boy they suck. How did it come to this? The voodoo doll things are weird too. Just don't have the same oomph as a pack in character.
>>11024071NTA but it's literally on the Amazon listing you retard. Original was around 15" tall.
>>11024088>dynamic posesNothing says dynamic like guarded, closed off body posture. :)
>>11024089nta but I actually like generic looking stuff.
>>11024106It looks like a glorified diorama base, anon.
>>11024106Hey CC, put your trip back on instead of being a coward samefag. And be less obvious. >mmm gimme those low effort attempts, yum yum!
>>11024092>says they have twitter proof>doesn't post itThat's not the twitter proof you promised. >Original was around 15" tall.With or without the Eye? Do you have a photo with a ruler? Or will this be like the twitter screenshots you promised me?
>>11024130>youDo you realize NTA means "not that anon" meaning that I'm explicitly not the person who told you to check twitter?
>>11024130nobody promised you shit
>>11024089>How did it come to this?It feels like society loves "cute & ugly" things more than cool things. E.T. and the Minions are still memorable to everybody
>>11024144Oh my God you are such a ridiculous idiot. This is why nobody wants you on this board.
>>11024144>which could account for a 13.5 and 15 inch size difference.No it wouldn't
>>11024154You could just post proof then
>>11024155Well how tall is the Eyespy Radar?
>>11024143You forgot to put your trip back on for this reply CC. Way to prove you were samefagging though!
>>11024163No it isn't
>>11024167Hi CC
>>11024172It's not me, but nothing I said would matter
>>11024176>It's not me
I'm not Crimson Commander, I just happen to respect him for bringing actual honest toy discussion to this board.
>>11024181Oh yeah, totally not him. Uh-huh. Sure. Yep. Suuuure.
Are anyone else's Neca movie Foot Soldiers unable to stand?
>>11024194Mine seem to be just fine. I have about ten of the original, four of the Soto.
>>11024209They really aren't, though.
>>11024209Ankle joints actually, yes, thank you. It's my first Neca so I was a bit concerned. Is it just that particular sculpt that has an issue?
>>11024214No, it's honestly not something that happens a lot with that figure.
>>11024223>anons have complained about both the original movie and SOTO foot soldiers.No, they haven't actually
>>11023988"What has science done?!"
>>11024243I like how you lied about an issue that didn't exist the whole time.
Will the next wave of villains (Rat King, Mutagen Man, Slash and the fourth one I can't remember) be sold individually too?
>>11023994kind of makes me wanna cancel it now.. the original was already too small; Basically gonna have to wait for hiya to make turtles actually in scale for this thing. Knowing amazon it will hit clearance anyway...
>>11023997better not be real exclusive-exclusivebut i would pay a stupid amount of money for a tmnt 2 splinter.
>>11024070aw man i have that! it was a lot of fun. and the tokka mode was... weirdly satisfying just as a toy?
>>11024152yupit's nothing new either, the entire era of "sonic the hedgehog is so popular, can we profit from that somehow?" was nothing but goofy, gross, ugly, cartoony fuckshits from western artists. and for some reason people still actually like some of them. the love for banjo and crash just.... baffles me. in what way are they different from bubsy or radical rex?
>>11024450Banjo and Crash had legitimately fun games.
>>11024457still. it's not as if that's intrinsic to the art. you could swap in any model and it'd play the same. the CHARACTERS shouldn't be popular. I was baffled by so many people wanting banjo in smash bros.
>>11024070Those were surprisingly great for the time. I loved all the little weapons.
>>11024481Makes more sense than Snake.
>>11024507agreed. that's a DIFFERENT baffling art trend: japanese artists trying their best to look like boring, dull western artthey never quite make it crummy enough, but 'boring' they achieve. and now instead of anime faces having big eyes with small, expressive pupils, it's small, narrow eyes with gigantic, eye-filling pupils, and I hate it. "Look at all the detail we put into the hair stranding!" I wanted hair that looked like it was sculpted out of candy, you mook.
>>11024450Well, they all made out better than Sonic. Japs really can't design good characters.
>>11024524I mean, yeah, nuSonic looks fucking awful. but it's the same thing, they rejected the cool original Sonic that enthralled the whole world, and replaced him with some loose ghetto-ass graffiti art style. Something much more western styled.it annoys me because Rockman got a brand new (ugly) 3d model seemingly based entirely on his NES sprite, without any attention paid to the original in-game fullbody art of him in like, menus.... but Sonic couldn't be limited to his classic look?
>>11024105is it that your preferred tmnt toy can't cross their arms? crossed arms can be dynamic by the literary definition, or crossing the arms over one another in an "attitude" like pose, or a defensive pose. really, it is using it as a measure of articulation. if you can help me find one, other than the needlessly expensice mezco ones, I could post some reference pictures?
>>11024533i think that unless the top of the plastron is pulled in quite hard (as in some turtles, but looking nothing like cool pecs as the turtles usually do), it would be tremendously difficult for the arms to be able to move inwardbut you should be able to move both arms forward, bend the elbows, and then rotate so the arms fold in front of them.. I'm pretty sure most of them can do that.
>>11024533The Revoltech Kaiyodo ones can probably do that.
>>11024542the 2012 tmnt have a narrow upper plastron (to make them look softer and wimpier and less cool and violent) so that is plausible.
>>11023988>>11023992i really want to see people mix and match parts from the past modular turtles series. Hell now that i think about it you could even have fun with some of the omni-glitch ben 10 parts.
>>11024542Aren't those very expensive nowadays?
>>11024554Fuck right off, what a completely ridiculous and stupid thing to say. No, none of that will happen.
>>11024599Put one in a pose like that for us, necanon.
>>11024599You can either have a good sculpt, or good articulation. Not both. Neca chose sculpt.
>>11024611in fairness, satisfying sitting has never been a thing in action figures.
>>11024611You are wrong and have never touched those figures before. Clearly.
>>11024616Neca and several other companies does both all of the time. So saying something that blatantly false is just weird on your part.
>>11024636Yeah look at a 15 year old figure....ehat the fuck is wrong with you?
>>11024610What's that, necanon? You don't HAVE any Neca TMNT action figures? You're just a shill?
>>11024651Where's yours? Oh you're just a loser troll?
>>11024656I honestly think the sculpt won't allow it, not because of any joint issues.
>>11024656Dude, get the Revoltechs.
>>11024656Why would you buy the Mezco garbage merch attempts? At least get the originals. Those merch abominations are horrid.99% of toys can't cross their arms. That's why swap out arms are a thing. Figuarts does it all the time dumbass.
>>11024663>Dude, get the Revoltechs.Yeah dude, get the heavily bootlegged revos. What a great idea, fishing in an ocean of bootlegs.
>>11024667Haha, yeh. Revoltech bootlegs are possibly the worst ones you could get. You just look at them wrong and they fall apart.
>>11024664Yeeep.
>>11024669Oh look, a troll post
>>11024636yeah it's just kinda how it isKeno can juuuust barely ride his scooter. Maybe if I warmed his joints up more. but I like it anyway.
>>11024669DAMMIT, I MISSED IT!
>>11024677You're a fucking moron, wow.>>11024681The Super7 figures are going to suck.
>>11024681Those aren't 2k3. They're bootlegs at best.
>>11024705Officially bootlegged
>>11024681Wait, are they really 2003? No wonder they looked so awkward. I avoided those like the plague.
>>11024715Hey Alexjonesfag, neca isn't part of that. But nice try fucktard.
>>11024726More of your conspiracy theories? No thanks Alexjonesfag.
So any hope that Amazon'll post the Technodrome again?
>>11024801Has it sold out already? I was just looking at the pics and remembering just how awesome it would be to have a technodrome as a kid. Looks kinda cool.
>>11024834Gone for now but if that many retards fell for it they'll pump more out.
>>11024633im the original anon asking about crossed arms. can the neca figures do it or not? also to anyone who has it, how is the more recent neca comic slash? I haven't bought a neca figure since their capcom avp line.
>>11024801yes, in fact knowing amazon they will open orders again the day they are in stock, start shipping them to people who order then and then cancel half the orders they took as preorders
>>11025011this is from another thread, but let me show you somethingsee this? This Magmatron fella here, what he's doing with his arms? That's about the most you can expect from any normal action figure. You could swap to the open hands to help it out, but the forearms are not going to mesh together to make a convincing arm-fold, you will have to just squint and accept it. Or you can have them dance the go ninja go ninja go
>>11025011Slash is a great figure. Nice and bulky.
>>11025016that guy is just hugging himself. there are normal action figures, which I assume means "no imports," that can do more, and cost less.
>>11025398anon asked, this is what i'm saying. closest you can get to crossed arms. closest almost anyone could unless you cherrypick exceptions.
>>11025486And I think a lot of the time, it's the torso that prevents it.
>>11025587agreed, that's why i was sayin. you gotta have narrow pecs for that to be possible. even if you have a butterfly joint in the shoulder, it can't make the biceps clip into the chest.
>>11025108which one?
Local Wal-Mart had Loyal Subjects IDW Mikey and Donnie on clearance for 15, picked up Mikey. Decent little figure for the price I think. For some reason I thought the black sickles were another set of Nunchaku like how they do it with the TMNT Ultimates
>>11024110Thats kinda what a play set is isnt it?
>>11027755The faces look so fucking awful though, it such a shitty style, both in figure form and in the art. IDW turtles turned to shit real quick.
>>11027755Are the joints still not sculpted well?
>>11027840IDK, I didn't think the figure was that bad looking, but I can understand where you're coming from. Certainly a lot better looking than the generic as fuck 87 era turtles Loyal Subjects has.I liked the IDW comic, but it has it's problems (namely the excess mini-series), but I plan to stop getting the Paperback versions of the Ultimate collections when it hits issue 100
>>11027755What's with the dot on the face if there's no mouth articulation?
>>11027848It’s a freckle broh
>>11027845It has it's problems, but it's infinitely better looking than the Krang's Android Body that Loyal Subjects also put out. And I say this as someone who likes the figure. Always wanted a Krang's Android Body figure since reading Matt's (of Dinosaur Dracula) old X-Entertainment article about it as a teen
>>11027847I have the bigass Krang from that line and I'm actually pretty happy with it. You can take the Krang out of the robot but they still left sculpted tentacles on the controls though. :/
>>11027857Same, see >>11027856My only complaint is that Krang just kind of sits on the little oval peg and really can't be snapped onto it
>>11027856Now put Mikey in that pose.
>>11027755>silver rope... what
>>11027856DinoDrac is a wonderful remnant of the old internet and I enjoy it daily.RIP i-Mockery.>>11027857that is so dumb, I wonder what their mindset is
>>11027988I think it's supposed to be a chain? IDK, the chained sickles that Mikey also came with look a hundred percent better
>>11027989>that is so dumb, I wonder what their mindset isTo be fair, though, I don't think anyone would do that because he doesn't have his chair thing. There's a separate walker Krang for that.
>>11027997it sure aint sculpted as a chain..>>11028000it doesn't matter if there's nothing for a removable pilot to do, Zoids LONG since stopped making fun little diorama things for the pilots, with different vehicles they could sit in when they're not inside their zoids, and little micro army-men foot-plated guys for other scenes. but I still like being able to pull the pilots out, and not leave his arms being plugged into controls.
>>11028005I see your point. That being said, I think I'd still take it over the others out there.
>>11028008fair!
Mondo's Mondo is up for pre-orser on their store. $105, exclusive to them (wonder if that's how they're keeping Playmates off their ass?).
>>11028123
>>11028124Mikey is up too, $90
>>11028125
>>11028123it's so weird to me that rotocast shit is so expensive. isn't it designed for cheapness? historical rotocast toys were dirt cheap.
>>11028130These are "boutique" toys etc etc etc. So they can upcharge.
>>11028177Stop spreading your bullshit conspiracies Alexjonesfag
How is 5poa so friggin' expensive?
>>11028209they're sofubi, rotocast figures of the old godzilla stylethe thing is, those were popularized due to them being so cheap that you could collect a ton of them, and they were distinctive because they would do like, sparkly clear godzilla, neon blue godzilla, a bunch of random variants that were fun to collect. it was kind of a Crazy Bonez situation.
>>11023994The original is 15 inches in height, the new release is roughly 13.5 inches. So for some odd reason Playmates felt that they needed to shave off 1.5 inches
>>11028232What are the figures, 5 inches?
>>11028232I'm honestly surprised they didn't crowdfund this instead of making a weird scaled down bootleg of the original. It's not even an "origins" type deal it's just them making a weird ass scaled down of the original. I wonder if this means they'd do the secret sewer lair but smaller (I'd make the tiny little tv cables just molded on). The sewer lair being scaled down would suffer though because the lower floor is very small as is.
>>11028232i don't buy that we can be sure of the measurements of either.
>>11028235old TMNTs are 4.5 inches
>>11028285The measurements have already been proven to be true.
>>11028289have they though?isn't the eye on top adjustable?
anyway we have pics of the new one with rereleased figures inside, so it shouldn't be hard at all to recreate those pictures with the originals, and judge accordingly.
>>11028294>isn't the eye on top adjustable?No. It was removable as a usable "boulder" weapon. But you can see in photos that the whole playset has been scaed down.
>>11028326please show comparison photos, it shouldn't be too difficult.
>>11028336Why is this a hill you want to fight for? All of these re-releases of the original Playmates lines are not 1:1 accurate. Are you going to open and play with the Technodome? Do you have any of the "retro" Playmate toys to display inside? Or are you here to just argue on /toy/?
>>11028336
I mean, I know there's zero chance they still have the actual old mold but wouldn't it have been easier to just get a vintage Technodrome and make a new mold based off it than it would be to just apparently build a brand new one that's very similar but not identical?
>>11028396oh it's not, I think it's super possible you are right. but I find it unlikely. it seems weird they would so painstakingly recreate the old mold, improving it by removing visible screws, and then scale it down so the various scaled parts of it no longer fit the figures.But in situations like this, where it's an issue of flat-out math, I think it's always best to have solid visible proof with like, rulers and shit (or just showing each one compared to the old figures, which should be doable). Just to avoid any confusion.>>11028507Okay let's see... well the purple ridgy parts look a lot flatter in the new one, so that's definitely a change.. that little krang-peg, it looks like Krang fits fine in the new one, and so it stands to reason that the PEG at least is not any smaller.The best hint we have here is comparing Bebop to Space Raph, but I'm not sure how definitive we can get with that. Bebop appears closer to the camera, though both are definitely within the center section.I'll say this, raph appears to fit through the front door on the old one, and bebop doesn't look like he could do the same in the new one..it could be smaller.. hang on, can someone post the previous... oh they're in this thread, hang on>>11023994>>11024037welllll... it looks like the cage is about the same size in the new one, leo still fits inside, and Traag and Rocksteady look about Leo's height from where they're standing.>>11024092this one is a bit weird because it's measuring from the corner of an isometrically tilted image. Taken literally, this would make it even smaller than that
>>11028509they almost definitely did base the new mold on the old one, unless you mean disassemble one and make molds of its pieces in order to recreate the bold, that is, the bootlegging process. which we know they have done on the retro figures, leaving seams where there were no seams before...
I wish they'd stock some new stuff in stores already. A lot of locations near me either had people take the concept art turtles from the backroom or they haven't came in yet. Were they intending to have these for collector con?Mutant Mayhem basics are being clearanced. All the reissue stuff is just stuff from last year + mutatin Bebop and Rocksteady.Walmart is a wasteland as always.
>>11028545Toy collecting is no longer done in stores, but with bots and through 6+ month long preorders. It's depressing.
>>11031016i meangoing out into the world, wasting time and risking my life on the road, not exactly something I think I miss. It's not as if I was getting dates while out there, or making work connections. Just robotically going to task, finishing it, going home, and trying to work out how economical the venture was and keep from dying. Ordering online is more fun, and having the boxes arrive on your doorstep is pretty tits. The real change is not even so much that part, as it is... finding out about the toys 6-12 months ahead of when they actually appear, even longer if you're waiting for them to be discounted enough to afford.
>>11031064I dunno man, I used to enjoy going out to stores with my friends and finding something new or being caught unawares of a new line fresh on the pegs. It was like a little adventure.
>>11031066Sounds like a little kino play day as Robo Don't Know would put it.
>>11031068Fuck off. You're supposed to be banned
>>11031066>with my friendsI feel like you've discovered the key missing part here. I also miss doing stuff online with friends, but that's not a thing anymore. And for once, it's not just me. Nobody I talk to has friends. Can't do it. They betray you.
Mutant Mayhem is on clearance now it seems.
>>11031110>wildly popularSaid with sarcasm I pray
>>11031107imagine all the labor costs that went into revising the price that many times. Unlike an online store where you just change a number, and can even set it up to do so automatically for you when it's been long enough without a sale, some employee had to print out those little price cards, slide them into the riggity racks, then print out stickers and slap them on when that didn't work. and meanwhile you have to pay for his health insurance, no matter how much the prices get jacked up.>JP '93so tempting, they came so close to evoking the guy I had as a kid. but they just couldn't resist giving him those big goofy oversized feet. you ever heard of foot-stands?
>>11031107I hate this series so much. Didn't buy a single thing.
>>11031411man i have not-bought-a-thing from series i -liked-this is like, i hold active disdain for them. I want to somehow buy negative amounts.... man when is super7 metalhead michaelangelo coming out.. i've got some nostalgia for that ol boy.
So is the basic wave with carded April, costume turtles with their reg weapons, and I forget cancelled in favor for mix and match shit or delayed? Funny thing is 2012 never did mix and match April or Karai.
Oh lawd they comin
>>11032276Oh lawd they look horrible. Like wow those are bad. Super7 has a hard time matching styles it seems.
>>11032276not bad likenesses. Mike needs work, but i'm sure he'll have an alternate portrait.
>>11032276Unreal. Neca baby called it. Welcome back, super7
>>11032288Sorry, what did Alexjonesfag call? The thing Super7 said they were doing for a year now? Go fuck yourself.
>>11032288necababy is muad’dib
>>11032292He's a white supremacist and an autist
>>11032295I’m actually curious, can an autistic Chinese male be a white supremacist?
>>11032302Man, have you seen the state of things lately? Plenty of people are brainwashed.
>>11032276
>>11032276>the classic tmnt ultimates dropped below $30 at one pointI;ll wait these ones out. 2003 wasnt my thing since I was more into DBZ and WoW at the time. I;m happy with my playmates reissues for now. They better not fuckup bare midrift April with a fucked up face paint like classics.
>>11032335>implying they'll even get to April
>>11031411nta but some are actually pretty fun in action figure form. The Leatherhead has way more articulation than it needs. Rocksteady is still a garbage design though, right.
>>11032348The mutants are all kind of terrible abominations and not in a good, toyetic way.
>>11032335i wonder if i'll get casey purely because he's just the best looking caseyit's not as if he can jive with the others on my shelf.. it's recreatiosn of the old toys i'm collecting. I could squeeze someone else in there, a thundercats guy or some monster, one of the he-man ones maybe, if it fits.. but I can't just have 'toy casey and that one really cool 2k3 casey'
>>11032335>I'll wait these ones outThey won't be making excess
>>11032276I hate superfaggot7 too but these heads look great.
>>11032373>but these heads look great.Not really though?
>>11032378Ah yes, the mindless cocksucker that owns zero Super7 toys.
>>11032290your gaslighting won't work here, Necababy called this before there was any talk from Super7
>>11032392You're full of shit and you always have been, every time you bring up that racist.
>>11032276These look ok but I don’t think I’m willing to drop $220 on them.
>>11032409You lying faggot. That just proves how full of shit you are.
>>11032276Oh boy I can't wait for another price hike for 4 figures that will probably be reusing parts from the first line and paintslop everywhere. These need to look fucking INCREDIBLE or Brian needs to get his shit together and bring these back down to a reasonable price, especially since this entire wave is AT MOST 2 unique heads per turtle and 2 unique belts.
>>11032409it's summer>>11032414you mean two unique belts across the group? did Don not have a shoulder strap in 2003? did Leo not have two? man I never noticed.
>>11032418that's the solsticethe solstice is the -middle-it's the point where the days stop getting longer and start getting shorter. if anything it's the end of summer (But it's not. it's the middle)i swear you people would start the southern hemisphere at 23 degrees north latitude.
>>11032418The temperature out disagrees with you. You were wrong.
>>11032416Don's strap and will probably just be doubled for Leo. Hell they chince out as often as possible so they might just do a single strap for each. I also just found out that Wave 10 is finally supposed to be shipping this month, but not a goddamn word about it from Super7 or anybody else for that matter. This company really managed to kill all hype and interest in their turtle lines.
>>11032414Brian's already been put in the corner. He's admitted he's been "overruled" on things now. These are supposed to have double joints, the problem is Super7 is struggling with single joints, so there's very little hope of this working.
>>11032430Oh god these will be the testbeds for the new joints won't they. I've never really watch 2003 so maybe this is my sign to finally step away from the Super7 lines.
>>11032432No, they aren't. It's one of the many trolls we have on the board. Literally a bunch of idiots try to spam a claim even though it's the most generic bullshit possible.Like saying the sky will have clouds tomorrow. Or in three days there will be wind out. It's exactly like those psychics on TV. Fraudulent.
>>11032433It's so up in the air, it's crazy. What's worse is the wait times on these figures. There was a normal waiting period for preorders, and then there's shit like the missing wave 7.
>>11032424They have an updates page.
>>11032453>the wave nobody wants comes out first
>>11032453I know, that's how I found out Wave 10 was shipping this month. But you would think if it were actually happening Super7 would sent out a newsletter or something.
>>11032424naw man I checked, leo had one strap, don had zero. i can't believe i forgot that. that was my favorite tmnt. after the movies i guess.
>11032432>11032440stop using 'they' for a defined person. it's only for a theoretical person. as in "Whoever necababy is, they might be an insider"grammar matters.>>11032453man, I guess I'm not even going to bother with this entire wave. Unless they redesigned karai last minute.
>>11032458>I know, that's how I found out Wave 10 was shipping this month.>>11032424>but not a goddamn word about it from Super7Wat
>>11032460It's not a defined person, it's a shitty troll, and you're one of the shitstirrers that keeps it going. THEY can suck a dick.
>>11032453>a third wave shows up before wave 7what the fuck went so wrong with this wave??
>>11032463Shut the fuck up.
>>11032462As in Super7 makes no effort to announce it to people who have ordered or signed up for newsletters, they leave it to the customer to check it themselves. They have 0 sense of how to keep people in the know. >>11032466Guaranteed the big monkey cost them more than they anticipated and have probably been retooling it until it's half it's advertised size. Hell I'd expect them to cancel it outright.
>>11032471They have an updates page. It works, that's how the anon found out wave 10 was shipping.
>>11032474I am that anon. I'm complaining that I have to go look up the status of preorders when every other company does the basic courtesy of an email blast when things are shipping. Hell NECA sends regular updates on expected shipping dates every other month when you have items on active preorder, and they're a bunch of New Jersey jackholes that can barely drag their knuckles across a keyboard.
>>11032480They haven't shipped yet, so why would you get an e-mail? It says end of June on the update page.
>>11032483Yeah fuck simple customer service for people routinely dropping $300 on 4 toys that cost less than $10 each to make.
>>11032496He has never once been right. You keep pushing that total lie and make excuses for VAGUE bullshit. You are a gullible moron. You are the kind of dolt that scammers go after.
>>11032514>constantly falls for bait and responds to every troll post in TMNT and NECA general>calls others gullibleNext you will tell me that you were only pretending to be retarded.
>>11032561Summer vacation started in May. Checkmate bitch.
>>11032567Oh hey there Mr. troll, what's that? You're projecting again? How silly of you.
>>11032561nnno. the astronomical middle of summer is when the day-length change direction. Summer is when your hemisphere is pointed toward the sun. so the middle of that period is the middle of summer.spring would be ridiculously long if it lasted until late june. Spring is a very brief, often absent phenomenon during which the plants recover from winter. Just as fall is a brief period during which the plants die and the weather is finally comfortable for like a week.
>>11032578Damn fella that Irma got me acting up. They should use these models for some figures.
>>11032881Fuck off Coomer.
>>11032889Coomers are a cornerstone of the figure world. April's fat tits could fund an entire new wave of figures by themselves.
>>11032897It's a kid's franchise. Go back to your containment thread.
>>11032897He's just offended that you would find a human female attractive. He wouldn't have said anything if you said you wanted to get knotted by Dogpound.
>>11032906I can appreciate the female form without being a degenerate piece of shit.
>>11032906What does that have to do with you being a coomer brained retard? Seek help you incel loser.
>>11032906The unhinged threatening behavior and violent tendencies certainly makes more sense now that neca anon’s true nature as a depraved chub chasing furry has come to light.
>>11032954You seem to be projecting your true self onto random anons again
>>11031107It's kind of bad enough that the Walmart near my house only carries the Mutant Mayhem toys now since they remodeled. Almost none of the retro toys are sold there anymoreThey do have some of the NECA figs over in the video games department, but that's it
>>11033085Mutant Mayhem must actually be selling.
>>11033088It's not, not like it was before the movie came out. After everyone saw what we were dealing with...pegwarm city.
>>11033088To this day I still see mulatto children pleading with their moms to buy them mutant mayhem toys, it’s actually quite popular with the afro american community.
>>11033118Black people like it and you're racist.
>>11033131>>11033133How to spot bullshit from 50 miles away...
>>11033142It appeals to their culture, anon. You can't see that because you do not share it.
I honestly am confused why the mix and match took over the entire TMNT Tales line.MM Ray never even got a figure too.Also the reissue line has piss poor distribution it took me 6 months to help my friend get a hold of the 2003 turtle reissues.
>>11033833retail is dying. why they won't just sell online is beyond me.
>>11033833Fuck off with your porn images you freak.
>>11033833I'm not big on AI art, but that is pretty creative.>>11033969>not recognising an April O'Neil/Yoko Littner mashup parodying a scene from Invincible.>thinks it's pornYou might want to stop your constant cooming if you think everything is porn.
>>11033978NTA but it's pretty degenerate. Why are you even defending AI slop anyway? Did you make it?
>>11033982>degenerateAI might be crap, but you are a plebeian and you need to watch Gurren Lagann right now so that your life isn't completely devoid of culture.>>11033983>Hunka chunka SEAmonkaJapanese soldiers gangraped your grandmother, and all you can do to avenge her is shitpost on an anime board and make a bootleg Sky Garry.
>>11033991Anime is just as degenerate, if not moreso than porn.
>>11033969No, they are a beloved feature of this general and a guy with a worse hairline than randy who confessed to wanting to fuck an animal’s bellybutton shouldn’t call anyone degenerate.
>>11033994>complains about anime on an anime websiteYou can always seek updoots on Plebbit instead.>>11033996Joshua Moon is a degenerate that jerks off to shota and guro. Opinion disregarded.
>>11034005The other shit got removed, enjoy your ban spammer.
>>11034104No it didn’t. No they didn’t. No I won’t.
>>11033996isn't he a pedo though
>>11033978looks like CG to me.
>>11034497Did that young splinter figure ever see release?
>>11034555No, it hasn't come out yet. And if MM stuff keeps selling poorly, it may not ever.
>>11034583we can only hopeend shitty baby tmnt, end playmatescall up laird and apologize.
>>11034497So are the MM figures that were planned still happening for Tales? Playmates has piss poor communications compared to Mattel or Hasbro.Was the MM playset also flimsy feeling like the MM party wagon?
>>11032466It's on the water!
>>11034889there's always waves on the water. that's how water works!
>>11034865Fuck off AI spammer
>>11035070Isn't Chara Studio from a porn game? I don't think it's AI
>>11035070oh ok, but ai janai
>>11035575Fuck off spammer
>>11023988Is there a place to see news on Loyal Subjects TMNT upcoming releases?
>>11035755Not really. Most places ignore it.
>>11035783>it is very popularIt actually isn't
>>11035755
the most frustrating thing about cheapo chinese sites claiming to have tmnt figs for cheap is knowing if they were real, people would be flipping them on ebay and making a huge profit.
>>11035817
>>11035776>>11035783Thanks, I'll check out toyark then!
Anyone know how to fix this? if I try to screw it down the part that's supposed to be hinged is too low. Not sure if the plastic distorted over time or 90s playmates stupidity.
>>11036105
>>11036105>>11036106can't speak to this toy, but I can tell you in general if you're screwing something back together and part of it doesn't line up, you might have to unscrew another part to give yourself the slack to line up both holes again, and screw each one in partway at first
>>11035851They are real, they're just factory rejects
>>11036248oh so they've got defects? they're not just stolen from the line.
>>11036304technically it can't be both. If something's defective, it's garbage, and it's first come first serve for scavengers. the crime wouldn't be theft, but selling unauthorized not-for-retail material fraudulently.
test
>>11036714test
>>11036714>>11036859Quit ban evading
Skip the Super7 Super Cyborg Krang unless it goes on sale. The plastic overall used for the body feels like really cheap, low-grade shit that doesn't warrant a $90 pricetag. No flex to it when you have to flex the front panel a bit to get it on. Slightly open seams on the limbs. Feels like the antenna will snap off in storage if I'm not careful.
>>11036105The thing is poorly designed. I've hassled with it myself when a side pops off or even just closing it.
>>11037041i did NOT notice that wolf raph is digitigrade. that's actually offbrand for the universal wolfman, isn't it? on top of that, it's not.. done very well..
>>11037062oh i didn't know that! kinda crazy since they didn't even give him a snout, something comparatively easier to put on with makeup.well, radical. I'm sure it looked better than Torgo.
Last Ronin flashback Mikey came in today from Amazon and he looks incredible.
>>11037076>I'm sure it looked better than Torgo.Hahaha, oh easily. Basically it was Lon Chaney walking on tippy toes in furry booties.
>>11036105Yeah, I would do what the other anon suggested. Try unscrewing, realign, then screw it all back.
>>11037195there's nothing wrong with that, honestly it's weird more suit-acted creatures don't do that.

>>11037694Good time to be buying TMNT toys. Or legally not TMNT toys.
Any news on a classic color battle damaged Mirage Shredder?
>>11037695It turned out really good!
>>11037694cool tusks. like the opening jaw
>>11037691very 'monster' proportions. it works for him, like you'd fight him in a videogame, but once he's wearing pants and shoes,>>11037694the proportions start to look too weird. like the torso's too long, the legs are too stubby, and the arms barely reach his belt. he'd have trouble wiping. You never wanna go full achondroplasia.. if you're gonna have a 'street sharks' torso-to-leg ratio, you gotta have big gigantic beefy arms to make up for it. even a gorilla doesn't have quite THAT much torso.
>>11035575>>11036859I like april images you post, dont let the gay anons stop you.
>>11038277More reason to get him banned then
>>11037187cool slimer anon
>>11024092Looks like the original was 13.5 without the Eyespy Radar. Guess you were the retard all along.
>>11038640hang on, doesn't this support that anon's statement.this argument's been going on for ages so i'm kinda lost. it's so hard to measure something spherical. you'd have to open it up, I think, and measure along the middle
>>11038643The measurements show the original was not 15 inches(appears to be closer to 14.5) like the anon falsely claimed, and that without the Eyespy Radar, it's pretty close to the measurement given for the reissue.
>>11038651but isn't that ruler hovering a solid 4-5 inches away from the top, minimum? and the angle is slightly overhead. i suck at perspective but I think to be accurate you really would want to open it up and measure it from its middle.and anyway 14.5 is still more than 13.5.... but i'm wondering now just how much of it is approximated.
Wasn't the argument that the reissue is smaller? Isn't this still true?
>>11038651That anon said "around 15 inches" and I think 14.5 counts as around 15 inches
>>11038661i'm forgetting now where 15 inches came from, was it the original packaging or some description
>>11038663No clue, just that the guy he's replying to said the original was around 15 inches. That pic with the 13.5 inch height on the new one isn't some estimation either, it's a picture straight from the Amazon listing.
>>11038658The argument was that we don't know that it's smaller, and we didn't know what size the original even really was, and that the exclusion of the Eyespy Radar could account for the size discrepancy. All we knew for a fact was that it was a new sculpt with some proportion differences. Anon said it was true for a fact that it was smaller and called anyone who wanted to wait and compare it to the original, a retard and rushed to shit up the thread. Now we have measurements on the original, which isn't even 15 inches.
>>11038669i still say this measurement needs to be redone, with the technodrome open, and the tape measure placed as close as possible to the eyestalk (or if it has to go down to the 'drome's floor, then do that then measure the height of the floor and add them together)
>>11038669But it's still larger than the 13.5 inches of the new one, so he's right.
>It's around 15 inches>OH YEAH WELL IT'S ACTUALLY 14.7323211 INCHES SO YOU'RE WRONGwhat the fuck are we even doing here
>>11038685i like that you are actually accurate instead of just making up some shit.
Is this CC posting without a trip again?
>>11038663It was an arbitrarily made the claim people have made about it's size, but nobody has ever posted photos of measurements until now.https://thetoycollectorsguide.com/2023/11/15/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-technodrome-playmates-1990/From the link: "At just 15″ from top to bottom">>11038661Oh, are we moving goalposts after all those deleted posts above?Here's this faggot here, who is likely the same anon saying that it couldn't possibly be less than 15: >>11024155>>11038665> isn't some estimation eitherIt's a not a ruler next to an in an person sample either, which was the argument on if the measurements account for the radar or not and how big the original was. You're being deceptive and disingenuous.
>>11038675Except that it's not the 15 inches he claimed.
>>11038685It matters when someone's trying to claim there's a gigantic difference in size and shitting up the place for trolling purposes, because it's not their precious Neca baby shit.
>>11038692The official listing has the new one at 13.5. The old one is close to 15 inches. Not sure what goalposts you think are being moved here.
>>11038694i still think that, while that photo is appreciated, it is simply not trustworthy as it is. not that he's dishonest, but that rulers and perspective are both dishonest.the best thing you could do is use a wall or something, put a perfectly balanced flat thing on top of it, then make a mark on the wall and measure that.
>>11038694It's around 15 inches, though. Isn't that what he said?
>>11038701>.The old one is close to 15 inches.With the Eyespy Radar. Without, it's... wait for it... keep waiting....... 13.5 inches. Which was the argument.>>11038704But it's not 15 and never was.
>>11038710But the new one is 13.5 with the eye
>>11038277I'm some how not banned yet...>>11038658>>11038701What we know for sure is the technodrome they're releasing IS a new mold and clearly scaled down as there is some obvious difference in size and details.
>>11038818if the size is really obvious, then post the same (obviously rereleases of the same mold are okay) toys in the same positions, and show usor don't, I'm not your dad.
>>11038830there's already been some comparisons. all we can do now is wait for someone to get one in hand.
>>11038691Yes
>>11038710The photo literally shows it's 15".
>>11023994Meh it's not going to scale to the figures no matter what. They should just dig out those Mini Mutants molds & include them, which are probably still too big for scale but they work better.>>11024130>>11024157Now now, if you're shitposting you can't give Jin Saotome his handjob, how will he give you nudes of the underage girls he rapes if you don't earn them?
>>11038969You need to get some therapy in your life. Coming up with all these delusional fantasies isn't healthy.
>>11037687>>11037688>doing a two pack with Hunchback Leo when Gilman Leo is clearly superior
Mecha Donatello possibly finally entering final steps of production.
They're up
>>11039239Did they forget to colour Mike and Raph different shades of green?
>>11039239Why do they look so...squat and dumpy? Those kinda suck.
>>11039247They're supposed to be based on the actual show's proportions.
>>11039247Yeah something seems off. The sculpt is fine but it looks so FLAT. The poseability is probably improved over previous waves but I'm not sure the look of the 03 cartoon is going to help here. I'll sleep on pulling the trigger on this wave, unless some localish retailers are also promising the special preorder heads.
>>11039239>those ape armsDo they not know how to do double joints?
>>11039239>>11039264These look like good by Super 7 standards (not saying much), but they definitely look more squat and thick than the cartoon's designs looked. Their weird attempt at double jointed elbows looks odd, and from the pics on the site, doesn't give any more range than a single joint elbow since the elbow pad band comes across the center of the joint.
>>11039239>ALL four turtles in the first wave instead of having to spread them out over 2 to 3 years.>Show accurate thicc proportionsAlright what's the catch? The release date?
>>11039303>Show accurate thicc proportionsNo, they fucked the proportions up it seems.
>>11039303Well they don't come out until February 2025 at the earliest, and it's 4 nearly identical figures still at FIFTY FIVE US dollars a piece. They have fewer accessories than previous releases. So a couple of catches.
>>11039303The catch is that these will be delayed multiple times and when you do get them, they'll have flaws like paint errors, plastic being off-color from the protos, or joints that don't work well. Come on, it's Super7. You know the drill.
>>11039300Yeah, you can tell that they aren't going to move very well. This feels like their attempt at a "balance" of giving people the double joints, but not knowing how to give them proper range of motion.
Thank you blessed brian for doing the brothers in one wave and proving necanon wrong, as we knew you would
>>11039411You making up more stories in your head, psycho?
>>11039239Are these the first pinless turtles?
>>11038967minimutants would be slightly too small for the technodrome's exterior, but the interior seemed to go on for miles and miles so yeah hard to say
>>11039239not into the lip definition but eh i guess they did fine. looks like we're back in show-accurate world where thundercats left off, not trying to fit the previous tmnt ultimates in style>>11039242they were always pretty close in color>>11039247they did seem to have longer legs in the show...
>>11039411Well, this isn't good for other characters. Guess it's only going to be the bros. And no April, Shreddar, Splinter or Casey.
>>11039454Yeah, Super7 won't be around by 2026, so this seems like a fool's errand.
>>11039239>2K3 is my fave TMNT showFuuuuuug these look tempting.
>>11039264>>11039239They all have moobs instead for more square pecks and I think that's what's throwing me off.
>>11039454more to the point, they're sticking hard to the toon aesthetic, so they won't fit with anything else.definitely the wrong move, super7. people are gonna wait for neca to do it probably.>>11039495basically a lot of things about these designs were meant to be 4kids-budget-friendly, not .. functional in 3d. it took them a season or two to get the heads looking right, and this does not. tmnt should not have lips.
>>11039411Can the zoomer Turtle fans who love 2K3 afford toys this expensive?
>>11039454They basically said in interviews they are doing it this way because they don’t have confidence in 2003 to move huge numbers; if these don’t do great at least they put out all the turtles; if they do well they will start the next couple waves with the other major characters, if those do well enough they’ll try their hand at the tertiary ones. Honestly it’s a breath of fresh air from how they normally try to drag a line out normally and considering they want to alternate waves of this and the playmates style ones it’s probably a good idea since otherwise we’d be waiting 3 years just for the 4 turtles.
>>11039524Don't worry, Super7 partners with microloan companies to ensure everyone can remain in debt forever.
>>11039239I can't imagine the kind of sap that would order these at full price, direct from Super7.
>>11039546I'll try to actually watch 03 and see if it's worth buying into this wave but I doubt it. I remember that cringe opening theme and it just makes me feel ill.
>>11039411>>11039541Well I'll buy as many various Shredder's armors as they pump out. And Hun probably. April, Karai and Renet are pretty much guaranteed to be fuck-ups just by them being human characters and girls at top of that. We all know about burger toymakers and their incapability to make cute females faces to save their own lives.Other than that. Splinter, Casey, Baxter, Bishop and Leatherhead. That's basically all characters which are matters. So the entire series can be contained in 2-3 waves.
>>11039620the opening theme is the absolute weakpoint of the showand what's sad is, they kept having contests to write a new one, because they knew it was garbageand every single time, the worst one by far won.
>>11039669Yep, sounds like the 00s
>>11039672i remember thinking at the time that comics and popular music could not possibly get any worsehow naive i was
>>11039620Oh you're going to loooooove all the "what the shell???" jokes. Cause get it? Instead of "Hell" y'see!
>>11039411No free shipping huh
>>11039708nah dude that's actually cool. they had exactly the right amount of attitude for the TMNT..except mikey. Mikey is a fucking fratboy and you need to just make your peace with him being the executive-mandated worst character.
>>11039239Fat legs
>>11039726
>>11039726i don't think they're fat, i think they're short
>>11039732they really did kind of miss the mark. what made these turtles so refreshing, after decades of stumpy-legged old cartoon turtle toys, was this sorta thing
all I can think is that they were KIND OF going for a retro toy look, since the old toys had the kinda chibi proportions to make them easier to toy I guessBut they also had more interesting sculpting than just the cartoon angles.
>>11039732Wow, yeah, those have more of a "superhero" physique. The super7 figures are almost tubular or fat in comparison.
>>11039743it was definitely their intention to be more classically cool at first, and to get as much badass violence in as 4kids would allowwhich was a lot more at first than later on.>>11039737splinter is just cursed in every toyline, this one obliterated his sideburns like fucking Don Mattingly.
>>11039620A reminder to skip Fast Forward and Back To The Sewers. Just end at the Ninja Tribunal season.Also Turtles Forever is..........complicated. If you loved the 1987 show than do NOT watch it.
>>11039773ninja tribunal is a harsh way to end the show though, it's not greatfast forward is babyshit but at least back to the sewers was trying.. even if.. it kinda failedjust skim all three, then enjoy Turtles Forever.
>>11039546I won't pretend these are worth it but S7 stuff is not going to be getting good discounts anymore. If you want these I suggest you just bite the bullet because we can already see retailers have cut back heavily with whats going on with the thundercats figures right now; wilykit/wilykat sold out pretty much everywhere as soon as they started shipping out, S7 is pretty much going back to actually being made-to-order.
>>11039833I bet that bites them in the ass...People aren't interested in these figures for full price. They aren't doing a good job of making them feel worth it.
>>11039833i got zak and scumbug discounted, the tough wait is gonna be wingnut because he's not worth even half of his original price.
>>11039773Oh no Michelangelo turned the car on before Don was able to finish it so it turned into an ass-ugly 3D model
>>11039802Didn't TF constantly shit on the 1987 show?
>>11039855Yeah, it wasn't good at all and missed the point.
>>11039855no. shut up>>11039857fuck youanyway it clearly wasn't the 1987 show. Everything about it, the setting, the continuity, the voices, the fact that they called it the party wagon, it's clearly in the -toy commercial- universe.
>>11039861Cope
literally in the process of coping with something, caught coping, told to cope. Makes no sense. why do the young people say that so much? of course I'm coping. Anything you do in response to unhappiness is coping with it.
oh and the last episode of Back to the Sewer is worth watching. they clearly cared about the show even after all those years of getting fucked
>TFW we could've gotten 100% show-accurate 2K3 toys if NECA didn't have their heads up their asses.
Playmates reissuing more vehicles unannounced. It might also include a new Donatello.
>>11039914well the box art doesn't have its colors messed up... interesting
>>11039914Fuck off Crimson Samefag
>>11039743>almost tubular or fat in comparison.Super7 gave the turtles moobs
>>11039930in fairness, the art style was all over the place. while sometimes the plastrons were heavily simplified and flat,
>>11039961other times, they had pec definition and stuck out more than the other plates.
>>11039411>>11039546Don't know what you did, but I got mine with free shipping. And yeah I went with Super 7 because of the additional heads, looking forward to getting them in February.
>>11039967what are the additional heads?
>>11039971oh I didn't see they were in the images posted earlieryeah the alt heads look way better. i foresee a lot of broken neck pegs if the alt heads are not put on by default..
>>11039411>paying shipping and handling for anything in 2024 Skill Issue
>>11039978Lol owned

>>11040024
>>11040028>NEW FIGURE
>>11040024>GAZE INTO MY PLUNGERS OF THE FUTURE!
>>11040032wow they actually modified the box art.. but with the correct colors... sort of.
>>11040032This was such a fun vehicle, I remember it and the sewer cycle very well but to get a new figure on top? Playmates finner kill it this year
>>11040032>>11040028I'm surprised theyopted for this and not the Cheapskate.
>>11040074or the turtlecycle. i really dug that. I would give super7 a significant sum for their version of it.
I always wanted to see Playmates just remold Mutatin Tokka as Slash since he was originally a remold from Slash anyways.
>>11040092a mutatin' slash makes a weird amount of sense yeah
the irony is they'd have to change his hands and feet back, the parts that regular-tokka did and didn't have remolds for in the budget, respectively.
>>11040032Is the head mold new? The helmet, glasses and scowl made me think of Make My Day Leo, but it's not exact.
>>11040074Playmates is pants on head retarded, let's be honest.
Bopsteady is up on Target's website for preorder.
WOOOOO!!!
>>11040458Fucking awesome.
>>11040458Can't believe I'm saying this, but I like the Playmates ones more. (Yes, I know they're based on a different image.)
>>11040458I like that I can see the paint slop and paint bubbles even in the promo pic. Gives me high confidence when even the promotional figure is bad.
>>11040470Then you are a bad person
>>11040486Yeah it's so great when you have to make things up based on a blurry image. I guess being miserable is the only thing keeping you going, huh?
>>11040486>microscopic blemish>figure is now badThis is autism.
>>11040488>you have to make things up based on a blurry image.Here, I circled the noticeable paint slop locations for you.
>>11040501Your autism is ruining your life
>>11040501Wow man, good job finding artifacts on a blurry image and then claiming they're something they're not.
>>11040515I'm not the one about to down a bottle of pills because someone pointed out paint QC
>>11040524You're apparently about to down a bottle of pills because you wasted your time circling things that don't exist. How sad.
