Joytoy keeping their line going with three new reveals! Krang's Android Body, Tokka, and Slash. Seems a given we'll see a Rahzar, Casey Jones, and who knows what else at this point.

Looks like we are getting some kind of Turtle Lair playset re-release from Playmates. Likely a very scaled down version like the Technodrome redo. IF it's scaled down, that will be really bad for trying to fit figures in the lair itself...
>>11302373The Mutant Module too.
Remaster Shredder, Rocksteady, and...another Raph? These looks pretty bad, but at least they aren't covered in pock marks.
>>11302373I'm now curious about fitting the JoyToy Turtles into the rerelease Technodrome.
>>11302384I'm assuming the Raph is their attempt at Last Ronin Raphael? The armor looks similar enough, but everything is dumbed down.
>>11302390
>>11302373can't wait for someone to argue about it not being downsized and there being no proof despite literal proof being posted on the Amazon listing
>>11302596
So the toon and movie lines seem to be winding down, but do we really need this much Last Ronin stuff?
>>11302390Sure, maybe, but with a vintage toy aesthetic.
>>11302356Are they only focusing on evil turtles now?
>>11302598Well, it's the new big popular TMNT thing and may have a movie coming, so...yeah. Makes sense. I imagine it will only ramp up.
Eagerly awaiting this bad boy(s) being made available. I've heard the 25th?
>>11302373>>11302374joytoy collectors eating good
>>11302339seriously that is a comically weird face.and i seriously hate mid-thigh swivels. just put the swivel ON the hip joint.
>>11302384>>11302392The elbow articulation is worse than the turtles... man, I really want to like this line but playmates gonna playmates every time
>>11302359they're pretty creative, maybe super7 should take this tack and just make original cool guystheyll have to get the old designers back>>11302373yeah it was already not that big>>11302374kek, another thing that needs to be bigger, not smaller.
>>11302384>black menpou>single joint elbows>only one hand can hold weaponsit is to laugh>>11302577that wasn't proof. we got proof eventually.
>>11302794NTA but the Amazon page literally had the height measurement
>>11302686>it's the new big popular TMNT thingIs it actually popular or is it just being heavily pushed? I never see anybody actually talk about it despite how much merch and spinoffs and shit keep getting pumped out.
>>11302794to be fair the vintage figure could only hold weapons in one hand too. It sucks but that is the least of my problems with it
>>11302839i think it's popular with normies.i had no idea it was new. it really feels like something from like 2009
>>11302384I recognize that torso
>>11302781imagine him trying to use that weapon, the hook side tangles in his cape, he finally frees it and then he's like "hold still for a second while I saw off your arm">>11302782are those a little smaller?
>>11302836who had a reliable measurement of the original? it was all approximated.anyway that's all over now.>>11302853ohh yeahhh. man, shit was so weird back then.>>11302857SHRED ARMSTRONG!
Has anyone seen re-issue Tokka and Rahzar anywhere?>>11302384>>11302390>>11302392Well, Shredder and Rocky look good at least. Weird how there's only three, usually its four figures a wave.
>>11302390why are we allowing china to touch american property again?
>>11302891Because...its always been China?
>>11302893send em right to hell. no touchy our property until they learn to respect basic laws
>>11302894Nah, they have too many disposable factory workers.
>>11302390>the entire point of the remastered line is to do the super7 "vintage but super poseable" gimmick>toss in a last ronin raph for no discernable reason>give him the most articulation to bootI just want some fucking consistency man. atleast rocksteady looks good, shredder could be better.
>>11302859yeah, they are maybe about an inch smaller? though the villains may be bigger, not sure, havent gotten them yet
>>11302928is that Raph part of the remastered line? Because his articulation scheme seems very similar to their shitty Last Ronin.
>>11302943As far as we know, yes.
>>11302384Do people really want original toy Shredder but with more articulation? People actually liked weird shirtless Shredder?
>>11302948I do...
>>11302384The cape is the most dynamic thing about that figure
>>11302948yeah, the only thing i didnt like about the original shredder was the eyebrow situation
>>11302948I'm the first to admit it's pure nostalgia.
>>11302980Same. As someone who got these toys for Christmas when I was 4, they hit that sweet spot in ways nothing else does.
>>11302981that said, rocksteady is the only one so far that looks even close.not to suck super7's dick but they really had the right thing going for a while, and hopefully will again.
>>11302339god i fucking hate that human face so muchwhat kind of retard thought this was a good idea?!
>>11302994in fairness the original is ugly too, we're just used to itthis is a very different and unwelcome kind of ugly.
>>11302994I don't mind the face, its those thigh cuts. Fuck they look bad on such an otherwise clean sculpt.
>>11303055right?super7 might suck at a lot of things, but they understand how to put the rotation joint at the hip connection. Neca does it too. like the main thigh that connects to the hip socket... is a thin piece that continues into a sleeve which then becomes the actual thigh you see
>>11302392>wristguards aren't black and green>no black camo on pantswow, playmates isn't even trying are they
>>11303074well given that the original and even super7 left the bullets unpainted, changing the entire bracelet to silver isn't that bad
>>11302384>>11302392Feels like they're stealing from Super7 with these.
>>11303171or ratherwhy isn't playmates attacking them toohell, they're chinese. playmates is taiwan, they should have triple the grudge.
>>11303173uhthose are playmates dude
>>11303175>squintswell now i'm even more confused. why didn't anyone correct me earlier when I said it was chinese? and since when is playmates doing ones that look like this? they already DID their reworked old toy shredder, didn't they?
>>11303176No, they made some new Shredders, but this is the first time they reworked the 88 original.
>>11303178i gotta say, as bad as these look, they are lightyears ahead of anything playmates has made in decades.
>>11303181I know, its nice to see Playmates step up their game.
>>11303181er wait that's not fair, 2007 line was good. but since then...
>>11302781He's being found at Walmart now
>>11303243archie shredder is super underrated. I loved his color scheme. I dunno where they came up with it, but it really works for him.i wonder why these softgoods never try to stitch some pleats in to represent cloth wrinkling, at least around the neck
>>11303243>all that cell shadinggross
>>11303355imagine how bitchin it would look in vac-metal
>>11303355That's not cel shading, it's matching the comic book colors.
>>11303243Oh shit, thanks
>>11303355Think it looks good, like inking brush strokes and comic coloring
Looks like we have an "Unmentionables" Mirage box set coming.
>>11304111
>>11304111... April's underwears?
Finally got around to opening up Shredder's Throne. It's neat. I could almost visualize this sitting atop a pit where they drop the turtles in. Have some rickety gates open to reveal Tokka and Rahzar that way, like a garbage dump gladiator fight. Definitely need to figure out how I'm going to display this though, as it's a bit deeper than I thought it'd be for some reason. I like that the metal scrap layers with how you plug the sections into the base. It kind of makes me think of a peacock tail display.
>>11304258oh hey, yours is sitting just fine. well alright, nice job. the kwan dao is a nice touch.Deeper? you mean like your shelf is too shallow? also I feel like I would actually buy tokka and rahzar's cages...
>>11304276To be fair, I do have him sitting further forward on the seat. Like he's making his threats and leaning forward to be intimidating. But there's plenty of room to have him further back, like he's brooding in the chair. And yeah, the shelf where I've got SOTO stuff currently, but this may end up elsewhere. I want to have a foot or two and maybe my second Tatsu standing near it. Maybe. Hadn't thought about it fully.
>>11304287my SOTO area has a little cheap table i found to work as Perry's lab, because he has too many beakers and shit not to display them all. There's not a ton of room after that, so Keno is basically just scooting up near Tokka and Rahzar like the fuckin Cerritos about to turn around and leave.
>>11302373Just got the reissue Technodrome. It's not as bad as a feared. Though to be fair I got it for half price. At $80, I 'd be disappointed.
>>11304388yeah 40 bucks sounds right
