BIGF Toys showed off their second Turtle release, Raphael.

>>11575779>got rid of the cowabunga in the opWhy do you hate fun Necanon?
Heatboys Heat Fig 8 Ninja Turtles. In case you didn't have enough.
>>11575787
>>11575788
>>11575790
>>11575791
>>11575491He’s okay, not a must have. Limited posability. Looks cool and for half off I’d say pick him up.
How many companies have the TMNT toy license at this point? It's a bit much.
NECA's 2012 Foot Bot 2-pack has a listing up on Target, hasn't gone live yet.https://www.target.com/p/54572/-/A-94954504
>>11575491Genuinely, yes! It's a shockingly good figure with way more expressiveness than you'd expect. The moving mouth is fun, the eye stalk is really well articulated. Poses really well too. Worth it. Especially if you just want a freaky space alien.
>>11575800i forgot 2012 used those movie designs for the foot. that's kinda weird given everything else it did.
Officially announced today, the NECA Vacation toon Turtles 2-packs.
>>11575809
>>11575810
>>11575809>>11575810Who’s genuinely buying these? I can’t imagine many people would want these and for those that do there was already the 4 pack.
>>11575797Not to mention the amount of unlicensed third party TMNT stuff.Speaking of, it'd be nice if we could get an update on the Samurai Force figures. I hate only having three of the turtles.
>>11575812People that want them for photos or dioramas. People that didn't want to spend money on the SDCC set, completists. Etc. They're easy turtle variants, can't really blame them. Plus the alternate heads with different hats make for good swapping.
>>11575812cartoon line obsessives. when it's a show that great, that was very likely the highest moment of happiness in people's lives... they obsess in ways that have nothing to do with quality.
>>11575501Whatcha mean?The part going intoHis body is a full size joint. Top and bottom of the robot arm was modded to allow this bigger joint. So it's completely articulated and you can barely see the green part going into his torso. >>11575507All that shit? In his eye socket under the eye patch
>>11575826keen
>>11575784Awww, I want that little baby Raph.
better than the last few delay emails, i hope this means it actually ships soon, i am stoked for the playmates style video game figs
>>11575853I was tempted by those figures, but I already have the game and dlc.
>>11575887DLC was a bit disappointing. i was expecting at least one more new stage with a new boss. what's the point of going back through with all these new characters if I've done it all before?
Can we fun post now?
>>11575891kekwhere'd you get the dumpster prop?
>>11575853there were some leaked images of one of the figures posted to an earlier thread
>>11575889I got the DLC for Usagi, because he's my favorite. Other than liking a character, they have mechanics that play differently, though I think Mona Lisa is probably most unique, if only for one dash attack where she drops a potion on the spot she fled from. I don't think any others have a retreat attack like that.
>>11575904usagi fucking ruled in that, and he got me safely through the new modes, but.. it's just not enough. I think by the time Mona Lisa came out, I had just become completely bored of the game.
>>11575892It's part of the 2012 sewer lair set. It's actually attached to the top level.
>>11575891Go away.>>11575887I bought it cause I was curious about the figures and wanted the soundtrack to complete my full collection of the game soundtracks. Mine should be here by Wednesday or Thursday if tracking is to be believed.
>>11575906I have nostalgia playing the arcade game with my friends and the SNES version with family, so I still like playing it once in awhile.
>>11575911oh I mean me too.. I could easily be convinced to play some more if I had someone to play with. but only like twice more maybe.
>>11575812In case you haven't figured it out, many TMNT fans will buy anything. Star Wars fans are on the same level buying Glup Shitto that was in one shot of the cantina or Jabba's Palace for .2 of a second, but at least those freaky aliens are some of the more interesting designs in the movie. This is just Malibu Stacy with a new hat.The good news is that this isn't even the bottom of the barrel for Turtle variants they could potentially make.
>>11575914You act like this wouldn't be the best thing in existence.
>>11575914at least the cantina is a scene you could theoretically -finish-tmnt doesn't really have a group scene where you could get every figure..>that coloring errorMY TOE! MY TOE!
I just realized Comin' Out of Our Shells got toys before Next Mutation and I'm feeling really good about that snub.
>>11575933Can't wait for color error blue bandana Raph.
>>11575944Definitely an idea for a future SDCC Exclusive 4 pack. And people will buy it.
>>11575944They missed a huge opportunity not making the belts removable so you could do stuff like that
>>11575944Man this picture really just goes to show how fucked the scaling is with the NECA turtles
>>11575969It doesn't, especially since that pic isn't even true to how they look any other time in the show.
>>11575976>>11575976>that pic isn't even true to how they look any other time in the show.Sure, buddy.
>>11575976
>>11575987Again, it doesn't. The figure line also relies on a relative scale. Not everything is going to match the constantly changing animation. You're not going to have a monstrously tall Chrome Dome, for instance.
>>11575988Yeah, their sizes changed even from that scene from what you posted before. You can cry about it all you want, but it's not going to change the fact that scale was never kept the same in that show.
>>11575990No, I'm just pointing out that your assertion that "that pic isn't even true to how they look any other time in the show" was complete horseshit.If you want to blame the fact that the show was poorly animated and the animators struggled with consistent scaling, then that is an accurate assessment. To claim that they NEVER scaled that way any other time in the show is an utter fabrication that is easily disproven with a 2 minute image search.
>>11575997>any other time in the show"It wasn't, your pics only cemented that fact. You're wrong, again.
>>11575954they've definitely all had their turn at being wrong
>>11575990>but it's not going to change the fact that scale was never kept the same in that show.Cool, but you’re deflecting. Show me a frame where the turtles are basically the same height as April, spoiler alert, you can’t. Sure, the cartoon scale was all over the place but it never once matched the scale of the NECA figures.
how many fucking times do you two need to have this same argument
>>11575989>You're not going to have a monstrously tall Chrome Dome, for instance.Not on a N*ca budget anyway.
>>11575997You're right. Googling images if them together I have yet to find one where they are the same height or taller.
>>11576011I've said my piece and proved that the Turtles were regularly scaled the way that Necanon claims they never were apart from that one time seen here>>11575944 and someone else is continuing the argument on my behalf.Of course, this argument would ever happen if Necanon accepted the 10 million screenshots that show that despite the scaling issues in the cartoon, the Turtles were almost always depicted as being much shorter than April, and the scale of the toon line is totally fucked and he should just shut his bitch mouth whenever someone mentions it and learn to accept reality.
>when you're having fun in the tmnt gen and someone says something slightly critical of neca
>>11575891kek that's amazing
Hey anons had a question - I don't own any turtles but was wanting to get one or two of the vintage ones in box just to put on my wall, the boxart is like nostalgia crack to me.Anyway, I see a couple of random 4 packs on Amazon (the four storage shell ones, and then slash/ratking/casey/mutagen). And then more expensive singles of just the storage shell versions.Will anything else be made? Has stuff sold out already? I was keen on a metalhead...
>>11576115oh forgot to mention, not in the US so can't buy from stores
>>11576115They've been releasing retro reissues for years, and lately have been releasing figures beyond the first wave. I think the latest reissues had Wyrm, Anthrax, Scale Tail and I forget the fourth. It's entirely possible they could eventually release Metalhead, but who knows for sure.Also, sometimes they release them with repros of the original packaging, but sometimes they give them generic TMNT retro packaging.
>>11575892Oh, but if you can find them, Hexbug Junkbots came with a pretty nice dumpster that scales just as well.
>>11576014The fuck is that even supposed to mean?
>>11576028Maybe you need to eat a dick and accept the fact that the line is going to scale differently than a fucking animated cartoon. It isn't fucked just because you want to be a whiny bitch about it all. And the turtles are still shorter than April in the figures, so shut up already.>>11576007They're still shorter than her. Whine more.
>>11576026Those screenshots actually match the NECA figures quite well.
>>11576199If you're blind and/or dumb.
>>11576197>the line is going to scale differently than a fucking animated cartoonSo it's out of scale.
>>11576243Why are you describing yourself?
>>11576259got him
>>11576259I don't think the screenshots match the figures. You're clearly mentally retarded and lack reading comprehension.
>>11576271I'm sorry you choose to act the way you do.
>>11576272I'm sorry that you have no choice but to act the way you do.
>>11576323I'm sorry you choose to be wrong about everything.
>>11576103oooh are those 3d printed? those are some nice boxes.
>>11576135wow surprisingly nice looking. playmates did still care once in a while back then
>>11576103>pizza hut>In new york cityWha?>There are 5 pizza huts in NYCBut>The original movie had dominos guy delivering the pizza.>But the promotion when the VHS was released was for pizza hut>All promotions about TMNT has been from Pizza Hut ever since.>My small city of just a bit over 100,000+ has 6 pizza huts compared to NYC 5 despite there are millions living there.
>>11576633Product placement is a hell of a drugAt the very least the second movie fixed the issue and had a local place as their go-to pizza fix
>>11576647>Product placement is a hell of a drugIt works on me too, I'm pretty sure I'm brainwashed to consumerism and franchise loyalty.
>>11576633it kinda makes sensenew york is a place where people are out and about, and need food immediatelypizza hut is gonna be more popular in a town where most people are at home, they drove all day for work, they just wanna relax and have food deliverednew york you grab a pie off the corner, it's hot, it's good. You're on your way somewhere, you just grab a single slice, save yourself some dough. who needs pizza hut?
>>11576660We're all sucked into it. How many of us are buying iterations of the turtles that we're not even familiar with purely because it's the turtles?
>>11576660i'm brainwashed to buy the one that tastes the best and costs the leastpizza hut used to be amazing but they have fallen, hard, and are by far the most expensive compared to domino's and papa john's
>>11576667I've never been too picky about pizza so a Little Caesar's hot n ready is good enough for me
>>11576670ah yeah and then there's that. for people with no taste, it's cheap, it is food. All the niches are filled.
the differences between pizza restaurants are utterly minor so I've never understood how hard people will fight for their pizza snobberylike this isn't fine cuisine it's dough with sauce and cheese
>>11576665>save yourself some doughHeh>>11576666I did not like Micheal's Bay's TMNT movies (2nd one was better out of the two) the fact I even wanted to watch the 2nd movie BECAUSE IT WAS TMNT is proof of my franchise loyalty. I finally was able to break away from some of it when Rise/Mutant Mayhem was happening. >>11576667>>11576670I'm white trash so Pizza Hut and Little Ceasar's is acceptable answers.
>>11576675You have never had different pizza places then in your life and I used to work at Pizza Hut and a Papa Johns when I was younger. Those are very very different tasting pizzas.
>>11576675>I've never understood how hard people will fight for their pizza snobberySir you are on a toy board where people are snobbish all the fucking time.
>>11576675that's like saying all sandwiches are the same because they're all breadthere's a dozen subtly different ways to cook the dough alone.>>11576676That was by total accident actually. I was just tryin to sound new york and I busted out my literally a century ago newyorkese from old movies.>>11576678indeed, and what's more, because papa john came over FROM pizza hut (did a lil don bluth action there), those two taste the MOST similar of any chains. and still, very different
>>11576675Like I get it but at the same time the vitriol is weird. Like people can't just say "I don't really like X pizza" they have to go "X PIZZA IS LITERALLY EXCREMENT FROM A DISEASED DONKEY IF YOU EAT IT YOU MUST LOVE EATING SHIT YOU AND YOUR WHOLE FAMILY SHOULD DIE FOR EATING IT" and I don't see this with any other type of food. Something about pizza makes people straight up tribal like they're sports trams.
you know what, i've been getting banned for off topic a lot recently on other boards. I realize /toy/ has no moderation, but
>>11576685>>11576715>>11576716If you can't tell between a pizza hut pizza and their competitors, there's something legit wrong with your brain.
>>11576718You spoke a little too soon >>11576720Those comments got deleted.
Supposedly this is real, which is pretty neat. I think we've seen like, ideas or pre-production sketches for things that were going to be in the movie right? But not actual toy sketches if it was even planned that far ahead.. Wonder if anything got kept to today.
>>11576723that's what I meant. i baleeted
>>11576731>Contrasting light sourcesbonzeryeah we have seen preproduction sketches which.. there's no way anything in the movie would have looked like them.. but they were also really shitty concepts, so
>>11576720Huh? My post wasn't about not being able to tell the difference, it was about the weird vitriol people have regarding pizza.
McFarlane's IDW stuff is hitting Target
>>11576876Turtles look awful. Shredder looks like it might be okay though.
>>11576876Todd can never just be normal, no, he's gotta give Shredder ball and socket wrists like that'll do anything. Eesh.
>>11576877Are they supposed to look attractive to you?
>>11576907Are they supposed to look bad?
>>11576919>>11576920I wish Playmates would fucking stop with the fucking forward hinge leg joints. God damn. We're in 2025, ball joints exist you fucks.
>>11576919>>11576920>>11576921it's not any dumber than the kinda shit that actually happened in the show sometimes. but I feel like Leo should have been a darker, more cartoon green, since the others are a lot further from their normal, and godzilla is nearly black.
>>11576925If Donnie is JJ, Shredder better be Mecha Godzilla or even Gigan. April Mothra would also be neat.
>>11575914Dicke Titten intensifies https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MxGyKXikQiE
>>11576519Zulu mini brands. They make some nice props, but they are blind box.
>>11576938*zuruDang auto correct.
>>11576925okay, the shoutout to the old cartoon is pretty funny.. but I hope we don't actually get a Godzooky.
>>11576919>>11576920>>11576921I can't fucking wait for theseI guess that means they should be popping up soon?
>>11576939tempting! Real products add to the verisimilitude. assuming they're roughly a good scale for the figures you wanna use em for.. might be a bit small for like, the movie figs
Keep splinter on this shelf or removeHim? Whatcha guys think
>>11576971I think he looks cool there. If you removed him would you replace him with anyone?
>>11576953The sizes vary heavily. Some are 1/6, some 1/18, with some inbetween or even smaller scale depending on the item. But they do have a wide range of themes now.
>>11576985are the blind paks at least per scale?
any news on possible reissue?
>>11576007No 1/4 scale toon April :(
>>11576996you really think they'd consider that worthy of a reissue?It was always extremely niche. Guy looks like if Dick Smothers had his hair done by Doug Henning while Gallagher watched on in approval (but then bitched about not getting to be a voice in the movie)
>>11576007Maybe this will helpIn the cartoon, the turtles were 5 ft tall and april was 5'8'In the archie comics, the turtles were 5'8" and over time they drew april as 6'.This was clearly off model as in the start she was just the same as the show.
>>11576988No, not really.
>>11577017i thought the archie comics were pretty much copied from the cartoon, i didn't notice the height bonus. also damn, six-foot april? statuesque.>>11577020well that would surely make them more popular.
>>11576876Oh i work at Target, hopefully we get them soon. Has anyone bought them yet to compare their scale?
>>11576911Well they're mutant turtles...so no.
>>11577058I, too, am curious about this. I need a good shredder figure. I only have original vintage and v2 2012 Shredder with V1 arms swapped on.
>>11577063I'll probably get the Shredder myself and see how he scales with my Loyal Subjects
>>11577077I regret not getting Rat King on clearance. I also wanna see a side by side of the normal and glow in the dark versions
>>11577030The wrestling turtles show how different the archie turtles would look as figures, but this pic here really shows it well (sorry for tiny pic)I feel like this event is also gonna be awesome for displays and this would be a great time for these turtles. just a shame you have to get the wrestling pack for black Raph
>>11576996Yes, the repaint that was shown off is going up on Kevin's website later this year. That's the plan anyway.
>>11575891Nice
>>11576996I'd assume, it'd be like past CC exclusives like movie April and Keno with scooter. A basic release will just randomly be stocked at Walmart.
>>11576976Nah I just really freaking love these turtles. Have you guys noticed on the back of the 4 pack it shows different heads/ turtles compared to the single packs ?
>>11576026bold of you to assume it's the turtles changing size and not april
>>11577428You assume I'm making such distinctions, when in reality I'm only concerned with comparing their relative size to eachother.
>>11576919>>11576920>>11576921This feels like they just wanna copy Mattel on how they handle MotU with crossovers, they even tease wave 2 in art here >>11576925 just like motu origins does.
>>11577449You're not
My anniversary set arrived! Take that Spirit of Splinter Scalpers!
>>11577087oh wow, the Archie comics changed a LOT over time. I remember when they basically looked like the style guide turtles.
Love Leo holding the bow and arrow. Also that you can swap heads around because they are all the same skin tone.
>>11577682
>>11577682>>11577684definitely one of the better action figure bows. those often suck dickstill waiting on my movie 2 splinter, guys.
>>11577077I like the more solemn Oroku head but the eye paint on mine is fucky.He looks great for the most part, feels solid, but the Loyal Subjects ins in articulation.Getting his swords in his hands was hard for both but for this one these hands just straight up aren't made for these swords. And why two?The alt feet are a neat idea but kinda fucking pointless with knees that can't even hit 90I'd rather have had some claw less hands. An option to remove some of the armor.IDW is the most I've ever cared about Saki himself, and I kinda want an armored down figure even more than Shreddered up. Especially with a big ol brown cloak for some of the later stuff
>>11577905definitely looks good.. not sure what the pauldrons are attached to, but this is a solid design.
>>11577905Oof, yeah, I think I'm going to skip that one. That looks worse than I thought.
>>11577914You can see the armband under the closer pauldron, presumably that is what is meant to keep them on his arm
>>11578005that's it? I feel like that would not keep it upright.
>>11577702I struggled to have him keep his left arm straight, the pressure of the bow kept pulling it back towards the other arm. Shoulder joints aren't the strongest. Not entirely sure how to make the big circle joint in the shoulder hold better.
>>11578031huh, i wouldn't have thought that'd be much of an issue.. the string is just like, a string you'd pull out of one of your socks, right?
>>11577905The Shredder head sculpt is GREAT and blows the LS out of the water, but the cape is hot fucking garbage. The way you have to double it over on the neck is bad and it's so thin. IDW shredder did the "over one shoulder" look a lot and the Hasbro Green Ranger figure could do it, since it was designed so you could cover both.This fuckers cape can't do even ONE because it's so thin and not meant to cover over shoulders, if you turn it enough to cover one, he looks like a matador with a "one shoulder only" kinda look, no back coverage, and it doesn't drape well enough anyways.Tldr I'd say it's apples and oranges with the Loyal Subjects. Looks better, less articulated. But to an extent that it's almost an equal trade off. Just depends on your priority.I'll check the scale when I get home but I kinda feel like he's actually gonna be perfect.If that's the case, I'll get at least one foot (we didn't have any available) and loof forward to them hitting other humans Loyal Subjects didn't get to.Give me Casey, pleeeease
I haven't forgotten about this, I've just been busy and I kinda picked a rough one to start with. he's tricky to get quite right, I have to be in the right monstery mindset.. and I wish I had the original in my hand. I mean I do have it in the.. garage somewhere..
>>11578120it looks like a hockey jersey
>>11577914The bicepOk I got home and was not expecting this..The Mcfarlane is shorter and actually scales WORSE. What the actual fuck, this was the main thing that had my interest with this line.I do like the figure better, but Idunno if I can swap out the Shredder on my display if he's actually going to lose "inches"
>>11578127they both look way, way out of scale with a turtle. the turtles are not tall. even a shorter japanese man is , well he's not going to be that thin. he'd be stockier looking. I guess.anyway, alright einstein, what connects the pauldron to the armband? and what keeps the band from slipping?
>>11578130I agree, at least LS did make an attempt. I dont have (nor currently want) the Leo or Donnie that Mcfarlane did to compare. I'd maybe consider their Jennika, depending on how she turns out.>anyway, alright einstein, what connects the pauldron to the armband? and what keeps the band from slipping?Oh i never said it was connected to the armband, the armband is just sculped as part of the bicepThe pauldrons are pegged into the bicep. it works very well. should has plenty of clearance
>>11578145oh you thought I was talking about the toy, I can totally see that now. No no, I was criticizing the design. since in most regards, it's fucking awesome.. I mean particularly this one, since the taller one has the silver go way further up the forearms, and that's feminine as hell especially combined with the bare shoulders.
>>11578127Cool. It'll probably look good with the 2012 turtles.
>>11578271No it won't, what the fuck is wrong with you?
>>11578388Yes it will. Nothing is wrong with me.
>>11578127Oh that looks dreadful. McFarlane's cheese cloth capes came over from DC Multiverse huh? The paint is nasty looking too. And $25 for that small a figure? Get the fuck out.
Neca turtles bebop and rock steady any news on these figures?
>>11578536I don't know Reddit Reposter, have you checked the thread you took your entire post from?https://www.reddit.com/r/NECA/comments/1ntyk9q/neca_turtles_bebop_and_rock_steady_any_news_on/
>>11578546>caring where photos come from enough to look them up just so you can complain about it>ISHYGDDT
>>11578559>needing a bot to give you content because you're too much a retard to use your brain and do it yourself>ISHYGDDT
>>11578560>You waiting for the next Neca release
>>11578536Personally I kinda hope they took these back to the drawing board. Something just looks off about them, they dont look like Henson suits.
>>11578574Rocksteady looks the part. He has the same design cues as Richfield from Dinosaurs.Bebop is a nightmare fuel monstrosity that needs to be destroyed so that it never sees the light of day.
>>11578574They look exactly like Henson suits, so you are wrong about that.>>11578576Nope. Bebop, again looks the part and you only proved what shit taste you have. Thank God you'll never design anything.
>>11578577I wasn't talking to you, pig fucker. You only like it because it was designed by a NECA employee, so you can't be the arbitrator of taste in this matter.
>>11578580It's a solid design that captures the look and feel of 90s practical suits. Sorry you're such a miserable child you can't see that.
>>11575779IDK what to expect at this point!
>>11578576It actually looks too much like BP. I was about to make the same comparison, but that I don't like it because it basically looks like they copied his face onto a Rocksteady body.Meanwhile Bebop just looks like Necanon.>>11578580Heh, "pig fucker". Classic.
>>11578576I just kinda hate the cat eye glasses they chose for him. Makes him look like a 2nd grade teacher with a weight problem.
>>11578617It doesn't, it fits the style of the time and isn't just a recreation of the cartoon shades.
>>11578621Nah, if they wanted to fit the style of the time they would have given him those big 90s visor shades like Max in Goofy Movie.
>>11578597It might look too much like Richfield, but at least it looks like it came out of the Henson Workshop. Bebop looks like a first draft attempt by someone that has never seen a Henson design or Bebop and only had Bebop vaguely described to them.>>11578626I remember when pic related was everywhere.
>>11578634Bebop looks like it came from the Henson workshop too. You're a buffoon if you can't see that. Honestly it says more about you not knowing about the vast variety of creatures they did than anything.
>>11578637show us the one Henson Workshop design that looks remotely like the Neca's weak attempt.
>>11578637Stop trying to pick a fight with everyone that has an issue with that Bebop design. Your insults aren't going to magically make the design any less shit.
>>11578641Pick anything they had a hand in. They were experts at creature design and thst Bebop fits right in. It's as smart a movie-ized 90s design gets.
>>11578641It's clearly using Pigs in Space as a reference.
>>11578647No it's not. You are incorrect.
NECA NYCC Exclusive Conductor Shredder.
>>11578657
>>11578657>>11578658Genuinely why? Who asked for this?
>>11578655You're not even a fan of Henson's work, clearly.
>>11578649>Stop getting madYou are picking a fight with everyone that doesn't like the design. Nobody is mad except for you. You are fuming because people criticized a NECA design. You are a mentally ill corpo zealot.
>>11578659I dunno, people that like the cartoon and buy the cartoon line? Why are you upset over an exclusive?
>>11578661Henson took shits in the morning that would be better than this Bebop design, but you wouldn't eat that up because it isn't from Randy.
Is the Arcade April still coming?
>>11578672I'm glad it bothers you so very much that the design is that good.
>>11578666I dunno, why are you posting pictures from instagram?
>>11578659You'd rather it be a first time character? Con exclusives should be variants that you don't *need* to have but wouldn't mind having.
>>11578686>but wouldn't mind having.And this is where it fails.
>>11578690Are you even going to try to put logic into your shitpost or what?
>>11578696Nta but it’s a dumb shredder variant from a forgettable later season episode.
>>11578700So a perfect exclusive. Glad that's settled.
>>11578673I completely forgot about this
>>11578701No, because it’s not something I, nor I would think most people, ever wanted.The variant itself doesn’t even make sense without a train. What is he conducting?
>>11578701Perfect for the one mentally retarded person who doesn't think it's a crap idea.
>>11578657>>11578658Guess we'll have to wait til Haulathon for Miami Vice Saki to go with all the vacation themed releases.
>>11578714>>11578715This is some low tier trolling. I pity you.
>>11578597>It actually looks too much like BP. I was about to make the same comparison, but that I don't like it because it basically looks like they copied his face onto a Rocksteady body.Yeah, I think that's the problem for me. You can immediately see Richfield there and it's hard to unsee. I can't imagine any other voice coming out of that face except Sherman Hemsley.
>>11578673>Where is the wolf predator???the_elder_tusk asking the real questions here.
>>11578713What was Judith’s response?
>>11578896She's been loving the figures.
>>11578574Just so.>>11578576Rocksteady is almost right. i love his shoulder armor... the eyes might be a bit.. much.. and his mouth a little too cute, but my only real gripe is A) random wristwatch and single elbow pad kinda not having any cohesion and B) does not feel to me like there could be a real person in the suit due to the leg proportions.Bebop is just sad. nothing about it is right. I like the spiked pauldrons, but he needs his turtle shells in addition to those.. and it's one thing 'haha he's a fat pig' but bebop's supposed to look strong and imposing, not have a big mascot head floating on little arms. He, at least, could roughly be a guy in a suit, if they let out the hips a little. You'd think they could have come up with a better solution for "But his glasses don't go over his ears!" than that.. howbout make the cranium lower.
>>11578641in fairness there are some muppets who look like that, but muppets and creature shop are meant to be separate.>>11578658did he actually put his bandana OVER his kabuto in the episode? god that show got goofy.
>>11578942>does not feel to me like there could be a real person in the suit due to the leg proportions.We've been over that before, you don't understand how suits work if you think that.Everything about Bebop is right. No, Bebop is not supposed to look strong and imposing. You haven't been paying attention to all the designs over time. How about you stop coming up with dumb complaints?
>>11578673i was just thinking about movie 2 splinter again, and by extension the possibility of paige turco april.. i forgot about this.
>11578944prove me wrong, anon. overlay a human silhouette over it.not giving you a (you) for the obvious trollage though.
>>11578942>not having any cohesionI see you've never seen a TMNT design before in your life. I hope you never look at the Vintage toy line.
>>11578946You're joking right? The whole point of suit acting and practical suits like this is changing up the human frame. And there's tons of tricks to get around it too. You should, you know, look at behind the scenes footage from movies. Educate yourself.
>>11578948well that's just it, anon.. it does indeed look like something random from like 1993, when they'd lost the plot. not haphazard but badass like the early ones, and certainly not like the movies where we had symmetry and plausibility to outfits. Tokka and Rahzar were perfect. Matched sets of pads.>>11578950I am very educated on it, this doesn't look possible to me. Standing still, sure, but not walking. Because the human knee would be midway up rocksteady's thigh.It's much easier to EMBIGGEN limbs than try to hide (like, stilts exist for longer legs, digitigrade legs, etc), and there's also zero reason to give him such small legs, he never has before.I don't think these designers kept that in mind at all, since they weren't really the creature shop designers (right?). just trying to mimic them. In fact they might have _wanted_ to deliberately ignore that since this won't be made into a real suit.
>>11578955>I am very educated on itYou absolutely are not. And yes, walking. There's shit called movie magic that allows these designs to happen. >he never has beforeAlso not true.
>>11578957please elaborate on the movie magic required to make this suit work. I would love to be proven wrongthe best I can think is that the actor would have his forearms in rocksteady's shoulders, which would severely limit what he could do, but WOULD allow the suit to be like 8 feet tall which might be just what they want.funny, these have been making me think of the Guyver movie, and those suits. Real good work there, even if that movie was kinda what the fuck.
>>11578955>also zero reason to give him such small legs, he never has before.Fake fan. It's a common design.
>>11578559kek
>>11578962the fuck version is that? it's... interesting looking. I kinda like how their extremities aren't purely human, though bebop has rhino hooves instead of pig.... the teeth are cool, but why does Rocksteady have an S on his hand?
>>11579029>but why does Rocksteady have an S on his hand?I think that's supposed to be a vein?
>>11579029IDW
>>11579036weird, it crosses right over his tendons.. i see some weird ones on his forearm too, though, so that must be it.. very odd art. I don't know WHAT is going on with his chin. but it's gnarly and a half.>>11579040fascinating. so that's a guest artist cover, then? I always hate when comics do that, it's confusing and misleading.
The re-release 90s Turtles with accessory pack accessories are going up for Wal-Mart's collector con 10-9.
>>11579091
>>11579094
>>11579094son of a bitch i might actually buy the leo for the firepit...
>>11579091>>11579094>>11579095Why do they not come with alternate heads?
>>11579099It’s the same campfire from part 2 jason
>>11579127Why would they?
>>11578944>>11578948You're wrong.
>>11579091Reposting stolen photos again?
>>11579154You're wrong and a fool
>>11579091FUCK.well I aint payin again.
>>11578657Any word on the cost?
>>11579172You're wrong and a fool and a homosexual.
>>11579214Is there even anything new? i have the OG sdcc VHS, the gamestop singles and both accessory packs amd the raph casey 2 pack. The campfire and marshmallows is the only thing I don't have since I didn't bother with the loot crate or the 5 pack anniversary set.
>>11579150Because they’re “ultimate” figures and yet don’t come with the other set of heads that already exist? Not very ultimate to me. How is a new collector supposed to get the more serious original heads now?
>>11579290I'm sorry you don't seem to understand how pricing works and the fact that costs have gone up and tariffs and the world is shit now. You can't have everything in one package.
>>11579283No, these are specifically just for people that missed the accessory pack. That's all. Unless you're a package collector, in which case the packaging is new.
>>11579283if you have the accessory packs, then yeah the main new thing would be the campfire stuff. and even if you do have spirit of splinter, as I do, that's a BLUE campfire. so now you could do the entire scene, swapping it out for when Splinter shows up. If these go on extreme clearance, i might buy just Mike and use the body as custom fodder (maybe make tied-up raph) because he was the one that needed the new head the most. but that campfire with leo.. you know, I should finally just learn how to wire up LEDs. because i'm a good enough sculptor to make a campfire, easy. there's plenty of materials, silicone comes to mind, that you can kinda sculpt into a transparent fire.
>>11579298these are specifically just to screw over people that missed the accessory pack, especially if they recently bought the new spirit of splinter 5-pack*damn i had to fix a lot of that for you.
>>11579298Why not just rerelease the accessory pack then…?
>>11579303They don't screw anyone over, you're an actual nutter.
>>11579306Because this reaches a wider market? And Wal-Mart wants product on the shelves. They know the TMNT stuff is lucrative. They keep asking for more product, this seems like a no-brainer.
>>11579307>They don't screw anyone overNta but for people who didn’t have any movie turtles and got the splinter 5 pack now have to buy the 4 turtles again just to get the accessory pack stuff. Instead of just being able to get the accessory pack. Seems screwed over to me.
>>11579306honestly the only reason I can think is that they genuinely hate us.or, OR, they wanna see if they can trick us into buying them all one more time, THEN they rerelease the accessory pack in a year.businesses didn't used to be like this, but everyone and their mother started accusing them of it. Which is exactly how ghetto culture started. You accuse people of shit, they turn into it.>Captcha: 24THhuh.. eerie.
>>11579311And what were you going to do with the extra heads? Just stuff them in a drawer? Sell the bodies off. There's tons of customizers or people that already have the accessory pack that might need extra bodies. Nobody is getting screwed.
>>11579314i'd rather have extra heads than extra bodies, at least i can swap them out for different scenes>sell the bodies offoh yeah that's so easy! anon!! you're a genius! I'll just sell something everyone has one if not two redundant copies of now. it'll go for a mint!... you know i joke, but I got 100 bucks back for the turtles from the Spirit of Splinter pack. That means splinter was still pretty expensive, but not that bad.
>>11579313>honestly the only reason I can think is that they genuinely hate us.You are a fucking psycho. Seriously?
>>11579316>that's so easy!It quite literally is. Same with selling off BAF pieces you don't want, same with selling off a figure in a 2-pack you don't want, whatever the case may be.
>>11579320well then cool, i'll consider iti need to do more customizing anyway. but neca movie figures seem kinda... like, the plastic is really flexible, I can't imagine apoxie would stick to it solidly. and you have to push really hard to get the joints to move because of the give in the parts.
>>11579313>or, OR, they wanna see if they can trick us into buying them all one more time, THEN they rerelease the accessory pack in a year.That is exactly what they will do.
>>11579372When they'd probably make more money and create goodwill just including everything and charging a little more per figure.
>>11579306If they make it easy for you then previous collectors will piss and shit their pants.
>>11578576>>11578597>>11578750It probably started out as a B.P. Richfield figure that got cancelled and retooled.
>>11579385good?if there's two people you need to stop worrying about the feelings of, because they are in conflict with the feelings of the entire rest of your customerbase, it's scalpers and people who want the thing they bought to stay rare and special, instead of wishing as many people as possible had the same toy they had.now, fanatical completionists? yes. Be kind to them. make every product available as long as possible, and don't make anything exclusive to something hard to do like a lootbox or a blind bag or a convention exclusive, without releasing it normally a few years down the line.
>>11579393that would be interesting, but I don't think so for a couple reasonsfirstly: is Neca doing a Dinosaurs line?secondly, BP's shoulders are much higher, his eyes are much closer together, and so are his nostrils. Plus it seems unlikely they would ever, EVER sculpt him with his mouth mostly closed like this.. given how one of his best features are his prominent teeth.I think they basically just had the team look at some beloved Creature Shop stuff, and slap together some features.. Bebop weirdly seems to be pulling from like. Mac and Me? which wasn't Henson...
>>11579494>is Neca doing a Dinosaurs line?They were. Earl and Baby came out about two years ago, but all we've gotten since then are two more Earl variants. It's probably dead now because it's continuation was dependent on those first two figures selling well, and we haven't seen a single new prototype at any con in the last two years. It might not be dead, but I'm certainly not holding my breath.
>>11579494I seriously can't tell what they're getting Bebop from. It just doesn't look like a Henson design to me.
>>11579497it definitely has a muppety quality, but muppets and creature shop are super separate. one is /co/, one is /tv/the part weirding me out most is that he's so fucking pale. Bebop's never been like, straight-up caucasian / domestic pig colored. he's always brownish like a wild boar.
>>11579497You haven't seen any Henson designs then, because it absolutely does.
>>11579550I've seen all the Henson designs and it doesn't look like any of them.
>>11579561Bro you are full of shit then.
>>11579500>he's always brownish like a wild boar.Also not true
>>11579587It is true.
