>>11558659Fuck off
>>11558660No
>>11558657>Rise flopped>the only way they get anything is Blecha>>11558659>good Renet figures never ever neither
>>11558670Sounds like you just have bad taste.
>>11558674No smiling head for Raph is strange
>>11558679Yeah 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.
>>11558681
>>11558682And 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.
>>11558684The 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.
>>11558679When does Raph ever smile?
>>11558681Were his pauldrons really that weird looking in the cartoon?
>>11558688The 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.
>>11558692He smiled a lot in the 2012 series
>>11558697And he glowered and yelled more.
>>11558696We shouldn’t have to buy add ons to have a full set of happy turtles.
>>11558681Shitter
>>11558700In this economy you do
>>11558703You'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.
>>11558728Who was the Chuck Norris type guy? The series had some interesting bad guys.
>>11558728Eh, I’ll wait for the second release.
>>11558728>>11558745Fuck off you stupid cunt.
>>11558732Bradford. He turned into Dogpound and then later Rahzer after a second mutation.>>11558750>takes obvious bait instead of responding to anon asking about 2012Same as it ever was.
>>11558670>>good Renet figures never ever neitherThe NFT one is perfect though.
>>11558824Is it this one or the other color that ended up at Ross?
>>11558659>>11558667MORE
>>11558668>>11558672>>11558674>>11558677It 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. >>11558681Although 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.
>>11558677What the fuck?
>>11558668>>11558674>>11558677These 3 have alright casual faces but Leo is just him meditating or in a coma before his voice mutated into Seth Green?>>11558672
>>11558824Hot
>>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.
>>11558871They were hoping to convey the effect from the cartoon where his eye is always slightly more vertical. But it just didn't work out.
>>11558657Well 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.>>11558871Yeah that's Donnie, what about it?
>>11558922It worked out just great actually. Weird how you think you know anything about 2012 now.
>>11559017 >>11559021NECA damage control bot in position
>>11559028Lame ass troll
Why won't NECA release "default" versions of the Archie turtles?
>>11559032Why are you asking like they aren't?
>>11559036Have they been announced?
who 2003 here?
>>11558836
>>11559032Is it stepping on the toes of the 80s stuff too closely?
>>11558668>>11558672>>11558674>>11558677These look kinda off. I'll still be buying Mikey for ice cream kitty but no reason to buy the others.>>11558681Am I misremembering or did Shredder look way cooler in the cartoon?
>>11559117What?
>>11559152Looks spot on to me
>>11558681The Krang is a nice touch.
>>11559152His armor was always kinda dumb in that one. He was just always in the shadows and dramatic angles and stuff.
>>11559030No, no, he's just a fan trying to defend his favorite company, that is, damage control, not a lame ass troll
>>11559186Wow, you're a troll and you're dumb as a bag of bricks.
>>11559186Why 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.
>>11559190No 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?
>>11559215The dump, where they belong.
>>11559217i'm a heterosexual man, i only collect 1:18
>>11559215Nerdzoic
>>11559220My comment wasn’t regarding the scale, those JoyToy figures just aren’t good.
>>11558649>tokka had a babywhat>there's tons of empty space inside the egggod these people were stupid. less ugly design than most of theirs, though>that's what it was like in the showit 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"
>>11559190the people teaching you about 'big corporations' are also not your friend
>>11559371I didn't imply they were. Fuck off. :)
>>11559373just makin sure dudelotta culty behavior going on on both sides.
>>11559380Fair enough, anon. I see your point.
>>11559380On both sides? Really? No.
>>11559380No 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.
>>11559408open your eyes, son
>>11559237What exactly is so bad about them?
How's the QC on Mutant Mayhem stuff? No, I'm serious.
>>11559602Mutant 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.
>>11559602There'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.
>>11558668Sadly no spinning 'chuks. Super 7 is the only domestic company I've seen that's included them.
>>11558728>>11558745They 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.
>>11559636and 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.
>>11559648If they're made of softer flexible plastic I use hot water to warm them up and pose them.
>>11559656that works okay. but then you're still kinda stuck in one pose and they still look a little stupid.
>>11558657Still no GizmoStill no CerebusStill no Bloodsucker
>>11559679>CerebusNever going to happen.
>>11558672>>11558681Anyone can remind me what's that gun?Im also surprised at Shredder having blades. I only remember his having extendable claws. Am I misremembering things?
>>11558667>April, that wasn't body cream, it was ooze!
Do the turtles kill people in the comics?Will they ever kill in movies/cartoons?Having ninja weapons and not killing with them is such a turn off.
>>11559679These designs are stupid
>>11558672>>11558674>>11558677>>11558668these are gonna bomb so hard. Zoomers barely have money and NECA fansIn a world where Gargoyles ended up bombing despite being one of the best lines NECA ever did, I can't see these doing more than maybe an April after this. the prime NECA audience has no fucking clue about cartoons past like 93.
>>11560101Is the Gargoyles line canceled?
>>11560119Always has been.
>>11560101You are so incredibly stupid. 2012 is one of the most well loved iterations. People have wanted good 2012 figures forever. Also they already have Splinter and Slash shown and coming, this line has legs.
>>115601322003 is a loved iteration as well and you kept shitting on it, but anyways, the point is that a majority of the people buying these figures to begin with are older people who may have never even seen 2012. Younger people who actually have seen and like 2012 aren’t as likely to buy figures.
>>115601382k3 is not well loved. There's a reason nobody talks about it or even why companies license it unless it's their last resort.>majority of the people buying these figures to begin with are older people who may have never even seen 2012. That is incorrect and a very stupid thing to say. They're the ones championing these figures.>Younger people who actually have seen and like 2012 aren’t as likely to buy figures.Wrong again. If they're collectors theyll want to pick them up. The ten different TMNT lines all have someone supporting them. That's why they're still going strong.
>>11560152>2k3 is not well loved. There's a reason nobody talks about itOh good lord, I can’t imagine being this wrong.
>>11560155You don't have to imagine, cause you are wrong
So why did you say that nobody wants Elmo because he’s a newer, not classic Sesame Street character, but everyone wants 2012 TMNT? Because Elmo sure is a lot more popular than 2012 TMNT.
>>11560166You're babbling again.
>>11560170I’m really not, you went on and on about how collectors don’t want Elmo and he wouldn’t sell. Elmo’s first appearance was in 1980 and you kept insisting nobody wants him because he’s not one of the classic characters. But you think all these collectors want to buy 2012 TMNT figures? Nope, sorry. The majority of these sales are to casual fans who remember seeing episodes of the 1987 toon as a kid and maybe owned a few of the toys. Then they saw the live action movie. They never saw 2003 or 2012. But guess what? They sure as hell know who Elmo is.
>>11560132>2012 is one of the most well loved iterationsYeah right after 2003. But it's kinda fair. There no way you can beat straight-up Mirage adaptations with ugly 3d and "monster of the week" storytelling.I honestly feel sorry for 2012fags. They stuck with worse show as their prime childhood tmnt's take. Same with Rise or MM fags. Dunno if those are even exists though.
>>11560174Sorry, Elmo sucks. Move on with your sad life.
>>11560132Yeah it's well loved as a show you can watch streaming. Not necessarily supported as far as more expensive merch goes. The playmates stuff did well, but will zoomers fork out 200+ for all five of these?
>>11560195We know you hate Elmo, but you’re not addressing my point.
>>11560091extendable claws are blades, what do you mean?
>>11560152>If they're collectors theyll want to pick them up. The ten different TMNT lines all have someone supporting them.Yes, much much older fans Who don't really watch new cartoons.Do you think it's 2012 fans buying the furry Archie characters?
>>11560236>Do you think it's 2012 fans buying the furry Archie characters?Yes.
>>11560091Gun's a grapple gun I think.
>>11560095pretty sure they did it all the time in the comics, yeahthe thing is, in the original comic, at the very beginning, it was basically pure parody.. grittiness as a joke.. but if you actually want the story to feel organic as it continues, they can really only kill -murderers.- otherwise they're kinda bad guys who are just less bad than the guys they fight.
>>11560119I hope not.>>11560155it's almost like he's trolling, and it's your fault for continually replying to him
>>11560276oh wow, did they actually address how a grapple gun would need a compressed gas cartridge for propellant?
>>11560326Nobody is trolling except shits like you
>>11560334You’re saying 2003 isn’t loved when it is absolutely untrue and you know that. That is trolling.
>>11560369No, that is stating a fact.
so I'm relatively new to /toy/, ony like 6 years, but has it always been this fucking autistically hostile?
>>11560431It's 4chan, yes.
>>11560435aint like this on /co/ or /mlp/ just sayin
>>11560451/v/ and /ic/ are hostile, but it's not 'tism hostile.
>>11560431Very briefly at the start it was good. But that period was shorter than the /co/ is love days, which are long, long over. The shit head attitude propagated by /b/ and /pol/ has overwhelmed the site.
>>11560463>/pol/yeah those fuckers have been ruining shit ever since they realized anyone will just buy any narrative they give, even if it blatantly contradicts the previous paradigm of which political side believes in which thing.>/b/havent been there in a coon's age, but I don't recall it ever having a culture. it was just old internet shitposting for fun. There's no way to RUIN a /b/ thread.
>>11560494>it was just old internet shitposting for funI wish that culture was still there. /b/ is almost nothing but porn and gooning threads, and one retard spamming the board with Andy Sixx shiteating threads these days. Occasionally some major real world news story will spillover onto /b/, but it's not random. It's almost as predictable as that one tard on this board that always replies to obvious bait as though that will stop the shitposter's from baiting him. Despite the saying /b/ was never good, it used to be so much better than it is now.
>>11560531aw man. sorry to hear it.. figures, old people don't have the patience for /b/ anymore, so it's all little retards.
>>11559189It sounded original. Hmm. Then you're, um, the head from a set of figure that will never be inserted into a teloid. Bite me.
>>11559190Don't care, sorryJust expressing my opinion here.And don't worry, I won't buy it, except for the Shredder, it will be a perfect match for my Revoltech 2012 turtles set.
>>11560652That’s a shame, the Revoltech figures are outdated messes.
>>11559681Someday I'll get a good Cerebus figure
Got Joytoy Slash in today. Really nice.
>>11561473Like the regular turtles, only real complaint is I wish they had more expressions. Everything else is 10/10.
>>11561474So many accessories is amazing. Joytoy really puts other figure makers to shame these days.
>>11561476
>>11561477
>>11561479Also did he ever use a giant cleaver like this? I mostly remember him using dual katana/scimitar style swords.
>>11561473>>11561474>>11561476>>11561477>>11561479>>11561480Oof and how much did you pay for this?
>>11561474Sloppy mess
>>11561474cannot deny this is awesome. wish it wasnt tiny and chiny.
>>11561539You may need to get your eyes checked then.
>>11561539>tiny and chiny.You know what they say about those asians...
>>11561546dont be a turd, that thing looks awesome.if you don't like it, give specifics. how would you do it differently?I will say there's a weird scalloped part of the shell at the ab crunch that i'm not into (And a turtle shouldn't have one)
>>11561548they can FLY!
>>11561485Was around $40 with tax and shipping. Nit bad at all.
>>11561559Looks like a cheap dollar store toy and the paint is sloppy at best.
>>11561567I mean...not entirely wrong
>>11561567You sound like you're desperate for attention and clearly shitposting because you have a very, very tiny dick.
>>11561576Sounds like you’re projecting again.
>>11561576He Chinee?
>>11561583Again, you're trying way too hard anon. You're an obvious shitposting retard.
>>11561572i need to get to the fuckin dollar store
Keno's never coming back in stock is he
>>11562214This one? https://www.walmart.com/ip/NECA-Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-2-TMNT-Secret-Of-The-Ooze-Roy-s-Pizza-Box-Bundle-SDCC-2023/5258318044The one that's in stock? And has been?
>>11562221it's literally showing out of stock
>>11562221Says out of stock to me
>>11562229>>11562230It's in stock here, you must live in a shithole.
>>11562221???
>>11562233It's a national website, why would it be showing in stock in one place but not in others?
>>11562234Sucks to be you I guess, that's weird.
Figured it out, it tells you it's in stock if you're signed out, but once you sign in it's showing out of stock
>>11562247>but once you sign in it's showing out of stockThat's not true, as I'm signed in here >>11562240
I'm seeing it out of stock too
>>11562240anon, I don't know how to tell you thiswalmart lets me do this all the time for out of stock itemsthen you just get an alert days later "oh sorry, it's out of stock"or sometimes just on the way to checkout.
>>11562221Showing in stock for me. Just ordered, thanks!
>>11562255It let me add it to the cart, but once in the cart it's telling me it's unavailable
>>11562264It goes all the way to checkout for me. It's definitely there.
>>11562268>>11562264both of these have happened to me before, sometimes it says it right away, sometimes it waits a few days.. one time I actually legitimately got the thing, I couldn't believe it. but only once.
I saw on this weeks rewind that Robo agreed that the expressions were lacking on the 2012 turtles and they really needed a third head each. Glad to see it’s not just me.
>>11562331Well hey, how about you fix the economy so shit isn't so expensive to produce and we can have all the accessories we want, fucker.
>>11562332i mean it's pretty easyrewind everything back to how it was back when everything worked. prices, paychecks, executive behavior, shareholder power, policies... bam. As an added bonus, the money in our accounts would now be worth way more. that's just a lil bonus as a thankyou for sitting through this nonsense.
>>11562332Or you know, don’t make a closed eyes sculpt one of only two expressions for a character. Fucking baffling.
>>11562365it works for some characters... leo certainly meditates a lot.. but that should have been a third head in a new pack.
>>11562365It's not baffling at all, it's something Leo is known for. Cry more, bitch.
>>11562374Known for, maybe, but it should definitely not be one of only two option. His only other head is him pissed off so he doesn’t even have a good head for anything outside of battle or meditating.
>>11562383Which is all people would be displaying him doing anyway.
