McFarlane's TMNT figures are hitting Target shelves now. $24.99.
>>11581168
NECA 90s TMNT going up for order on Walmart's collector con 10-9. Nothing new except the packaging. If you missed the accessory set, then you may want this.
>>11581175
>>11581180
NYCC Exclusive Conductor Shredder will be on the NECA Store starting 10-9 as well.
Why are you reposting images you got off Instagram?
>>11581183I need a Mikey, so Im down if I find one in-store.
LingJiHun TMNT going all the fuck out for your money. If any of these make it to production that'll be awesome.
>>11581188My wallet screams.
>>11581188
>>11581187He is the only one that doesn't lose any value from only having a happy face since he's a goof even in battle scenes. Shame about the other 3 not having serious faces.
>>11581191
>>11581188Baxter is kinda crazy. Guess they're making him a white guy too.
>>11581184Ugly, ugly, very ugly.
>>11581196
>>11581199Honey you're looking in a mirror, stop that.
>>11581200
>>11581191I love father/son customized shock collars!
The Foot is pretty uninspired, but it's fine.
>>11581198Bug head looks fine
>>11581196Rocksteady's middrift, woof.
>>11581172These actually look pretty good. Might get Shredder and a couple foot ninjas.
>>11581221Check the last thread. Shredder is a manlet. Smaller than even the BST AXN one.
>>11581224That's ok. They'll probably look fine with Playmates figures.
>>11581253They don't
>>11581274Got pics or...?
>>11581253I'm not sure. He looks like he'll be skinnier than Playmates April. Maybe the anon that picked it up last thread will pipe up and let you know.
Is there a reason you baked on page 3 nowhere near image limit?
>>11581338Because WonFest is going on with lots of new reveals. And because it doesn't matter.
The TMNT/Godzilla toys are hitting Target. I got Leo last night.
>>11581253Which ones? I've got an old original Casey and Rocker Leo, but I only have MM Leo
>>11581224
Whats the best Shredder if I want the original cartoon design, but not necessarily has to be the original cartoon artstyle?
>>11581354Uh, probably the ultimate neca Toon Shredder? The only other thing with a close color scheme is maaaybe the Super7 Shredder repaint. And an exclusive playmates vintage figure repaint from another Shredder's Revenge pack.
>>11581356Thats kinda what i was thinking, but I was hoping there was an option that was a little less toony, to look good next to a masterverse skeletor and a gijoe classified Cobra commander
New 2012 Leo, his foot joint is completely stuck in place, this is my first neca figure. Ive tried heat and beating it with a hammer, won't budge, worried about breaking the joint too. I'm sure this happens often with Neca, are there any fixes to it?
>>11581397You mean those two? I think they look great together. Skeletor being slightly taller feels right to me. Hes a big ol buff dude next to a normal sized human. but I'd want Shredder to be more CC's height
>>11581349I like to mix and match as long as they look ok together. But I own most of the first wave of vintage, including 3 soft heads and a few from later waves and a lot of the 2012 collection.I actually like pairing the 2012 Turtles with the vintage villian mutants because they appear larger and more intimidating while most of the 2012 villians were scaled down to cut costs.Anyways, I'm reading that the Page Punchers are 5 inches tall so the Shredder would probably about the height of the 2012 playmates turtles.
>>11581396Reddit Reposter strikes out:https://www.reddit.com/r/NECATMNT/comments/1nvpfd1/neca_foot_completely_stuck/
>>11581184Any word on the price?
>>11581398Also a powerful interdimensional warlock if we're going by minicomic canon.
>>11581406Mety Toys
>>11581406>>11581409Damn, wish NECA would do stuff like this.
>>11581344So? You weren't even close to the image limit. Do you really need the attention that the front page of the catalog gives you?
>>11581427If you're not here to talk about toys you are welcome to leave.
>>11581427Have you tried crying about it?
>>11581431Ok, I'll talk about toys instead of pointing out that you are creating redundant threads like the Retrospammer does.Why is this Bebop design so shit? It doesn't even look like something Henson would have designed. It's ugly, and not in a good way.
>>11581442I feel like they went too cartoony with both of them.
>>11581442Yeah I agreed from the start these don’t look like Henson designs, but I’m also starting to see what anons were pointing out about how these wouldn’t even work as actual suits. I hope that these not being seen for a while means they’re still working on them.
>>11581396Silicon lubricant (sometimes sold as treadmill lubricant) + heat and gentle but firm pressure. Make sure to move the joint in a natural angle to it's rotation. Get a nice thin hobby knife in between the edges of the joint if you think there may be some paint causing it to hold, just enough to make sure there is a gap between the part and the ankle.
>>11581442It's not shit, the fact that you're making this lost proves you're only wanting to troll and anything you say is completely invalid. It 100% looks like a Henson design.>>11581458You are a moron then, they can work as suits, easily. People like you are what limit actual creativity in the field.
>>11581481He doesn't own the figure, you're responding to a bot. You wasted your time making a post.
>>11581458>I agreed from the start these don’t look like Henson designsThen you were wrong from the start.
>>11581483Or he's the same guy as the reddit poster who doesn't want to follow the advice of the midwits who think epic bacon is still a hilarious non sequitur. Try being helpful instead of an asshole, for a change.
>>11581450Tokka and Rahzar are just as cartoony
>>11581486You are dumb as fuck if you believe an ounce of that. It's a troll.
>>11581492Those giant eyes really do betray the otherwise edgy body designs, kinda like Ray Jay's Zoanoid in the Guyver.
>>11581504Have to keep them marketable to the kids.
>>11581442I know where this Bebop will end up.
>>11581165remind me which splinter this is. i don't hate it, even if I don't think he should ever be this upright
>>11581701The head makes me think the 2014 Bay version.
Got my Limited Run set. I am very...whelmed. They're good, they're fine. I do like how bright they are. I kind of just wish this was part of a whole new sub line or something. Repaint the vintage figures up real nice and bright like this, I dunno.
>>11581822Paint is a bit messy here and there, stray marks, nothing damning. If they did Bebop, Rocksteady, Shredder, and a pack in Krang in toonier colors like this? I'd buy it.
>>11581823Still deciding on opening or not.
>>11581826I'm not sure the brief play value from the 90th iteration of these molds is worth it.
>>11581193plus his original figure had kind of a flawed face, the other three were more or less perfectthese other alt heads would have been good to have, at least yknow to use for certain scenes, but not for general display. I do want that campfire, though.
>>11581497You can't know that. I've found myself posting an identical toy post on a mentally deranged leftybot site like Reddit, but then posting the same thing on 4chan to get more sane yet brutal responses. Anyway, I'm in turtle fatigue. It's the same kind of thing where you hear Batman's origin story for the billionth time, but eke out a smirk anyway because it might have been done good. Again. I'm not sure what I can see from any producer fo Turtle figures from here on in that would make me go, "ooh!" and want to upgrade the figures I already have.
>>11581189hulkinhey what if they did a movie style Slash?>>11581191wait, are these actually licensed?
>>11581822meanwhile i appreciated being able to NOT use these colors in-game
>>11581895>Master, I need to tell->Did you get the giant rats? Oh, there they are. Splendid. Look at the EVIL in their eyes>I think.. Master, I believe those are opossums
>>11581895rahzar waiting for his master like a good boy
>>11581822None of the playmates reissues have interested me but I can't wait to get these. The colors remind me of the Mega Bloks classic turtles
>>11581881>wait, are these actually licensed?I think they might be? I'm so used to everything being third party or "legally distinct"
>>11581997everything that looks like this, at least.
>>11581826Probably better to leave them sealed and get a standard set to open if you really want to play with vintage turts.
>>11582555Neat.
>>11581482Oh my God NECAnon. Take some fucking pills. Remember how pedo you were about M3Gan? You’re seriously mentally ill. They look nothing like Henson designs. I’m a lifelong Henson fan. Bebop’s snout is way too short. You’re out of your very limited wheelhouse (which only consists of shilling).
>>11582623>no true Scotsman fallacy
>>11581482>>11581484>>11582623>Duh, Here's your goodboy rewards! Keep defending Mr. Randy for us!
>>11582623
>>11582671>>11582679kek
>>11582679Where did those little plastic pizzas and boxes come from?
>>11582708Zuru mini brands
>>11582716cool pic, kinda wish they came with something to hide the pegs
>>11582723Just didn't want to risk breaking anything.
>>11582607They look exactly like Henson designs, every one of your pathetic complaints (oh boo hoo his snout) is absolutely meaningless. You're making up bullshit reasons. You aren't a fan of anything, definitely not Henson and doubtful even TMNT.
>>11582750Rocksteady looks Henson but that's cause they obviouly ripped that Dinosaur's guy. But come on, Bebop looks shitty and very un-Henson, looks more like a Michael Bay style design
>>11583172No, it looks like a proper Henson design from the 90s. That's a suit actor, not a CGI creation.
Bebop looks like the pig dude from the Power Rangers movie
>>11583288He does!
These figures are fucking fantastic. Very impressed with them.
>>11583288holy shit I think you've hit on somethingexcept even he had better head proportions
>>11583303they do look fun, if tiny-noggin'd.were they really like that in the show?
>>11583325that movie was so wonderfully goofy... it was making all new costumes, so it was like "hey instead of any of the characters from the show, let's make a new one up to round out the main 3 villains""like what?" "uhh... a pig. just a pig guy." "awesome, go for it. i'm gonna go learn what CGI means."
>>11583325The proportions on the Henson Bebop are fine, you're working hard to complain about something. They're going for different looks.
>>11583341what's your life like, anon? are you enjoying it?there's always help, even if you think you're just stuck in a pattern.
>>11581442I said years ago about a 'what if' movie series on here. Including the planned 4th film - Eastman had concept drawings.But I just don't believe that these could have been wearable Jim Henson created suits in the early 90s. I can't picture a normal person inside.They should have got Henson veterans to design them. No offence to the creator of these. But there are nuances that don't quite register as 'right'.The goofiness is right. But these are firmly in fantasy land. And not very 'what if' - like a long lost design. It must be a hugely difficult task to get this looking and feeling right. But they're not quite there IMO.
>>11583470Yeah I think they feel too whimsical, like they're characters from Labyrinth just wearing street clothes
>>11583470I wonder if/when NECA ever drops a Kirby figure from those sketches. If any company does it'd be them with their deep diving.I wouldn't put it past them to do the Hallmark Turtle though it might be too similar to the Raph as Shredder figure they got coming.
>>11583303They look pretty good visually. But what about articulation? Can you show how far legs bend straight forward and knees backward?
>>11583470>But I just don't believe that these could have been wearable Jim Henson created suits in the early 90s.That's a you problem.>I can't picture a normal person inside.Again, that's a you problem. You can see where a person would fit inside without any issue. >But there are nuances that don't quite register as 'right'You are also incorrect there. There's everything about them that look right. And they had input from the Henson shop.>But these are firmly in fantasy land.Nope.
>>11583472Hi, welcome to TMNT, this must be your first day.
>>11583572
>>11583574
>>11581442I think what makes the bebop look wrong is it takes more cues from the Micheal Bay Bebop than the 80s design and Henson style. You have the purple mutton chops, the pot belly, and the spikes on the shoulders, it looks like they tried to make a "what if Out of Shadows but in the 80s" and not "what if Henson Bebop in Secret of the Ooze".
>>11583599>it takes more cues from the Micheal Bay Bebop than the 80s design and Henson style.No it doesn't. Like, at all, it's hitting the late 80s/early 90s punk look. It looks like a Henson design.
>>11583617You're wrong, because you are missing the point. 80s/90s punk or not, it's hitting more similarities to the Bay Bebop than original Bebop in addition to not looking like Henson style.
>>11583626Wow, seeing them side by side it is obvious they took a lot from the out of shadows bebop.
>>11583626This is egregious.
>>11583626You're wrong. They were never going to take directly from the cartoon design! It's a movie-ized design, same as Shredder and the turtles. They change things, they make it more realistic. No, it does not look like the Bay design, and it looks 100% like a Henson design.
>>11583628They did not
>>11583626Bebop has had those design elements before Out of the Shadows nimrod. They're nothing new to the character.
>>11583639Shredder and the turtles take after the mirage comics designs you dense fuck fake fan.
>>11583646No shit tard, but they're still movei-ized and the turtles take from the cartoon with the bandanas.
>>11583644Not in the time when the secret of the ooze came out, but for sure before this suck ass neca design did.
>>11583648They "movieized" as you so retardedly word it the comic designs, not the cartoon designs you fucking cock gargling phony.
>>11583626IDW Bebop has chops too, you're freaking out about nothing.
>>11583652They movie-ized the comic designs mixing with the cartoon designs you loon. Shredder never had a cape in the fucking comic, the turtles never had colored bandanas, they never were obsessed pizza in the comic...you're the fake fan.
>>11583653Oh, so Henson would use design elements from over a decade in the future? Retard!
>>11583660They're design elements from the 90s! Get your head out of your ass.
>>11583641They clearly did.
>>11583662Oh? Show me those 90s IDW comics. Retard!
>>11583663They clearly did not
>>11583668Your eyes fail you and your brain lacks the ability to comprehend, but just looking at them side by side it would be apparent to even individuals with the baseline of cognitive functions.
>>11583672They're not new elements to the character. You're reaching just to bitch.
>>11583599>>11583626Yeah, I see it now. It's basically Baybop Jr.
>>11583673They're post 90s bebop design elements that wouldn't have existed in the SotO movie. Retard!
>>11583674It is not.
>>11583678It is.
>>11583653IDW Bebop sucks too. You're not helping your cause.
>>11583675No one ever said these were for SoTO. Stop talking already.
>>11583682IDW Bebop and Rocksteady are great, so you're just showing what shit taste you have.
>>11583683Once again showing your ignorance of the fandom. SotO was the movie that they wanted Bebop and Rocksteady in but got veto'd and did Tokka and Rahzar instead. Stay in your lane fake fan.
>>11583684Look in the mirror to see who has the shot taste.
>>11583689Keep showing how uninformed you are, these are NOT meant to be SOTO inspired or for that movie. It has nothing to do with the history of the movie itself.
>>11583626They would have been better off using the Laird concept sketches and adding Henson Creature elements to those.
>>11583694Oh, well then I guess that's why they don't look like Henson style. Thanks for verifying that.
>>11583697Except they do look like the Henson style, so you're just talking bullshit.
>>11583697Guys, guys, it's ok! They were never meant to look like something from Henson.!
>>11583695That wouldn't make any sense at all.
>>11583698See >>11583694They aren't meant to look like the designs from the movie that Henson worked on designs for, and that is why they don't look like designs Henson would have done for the movie.
>>11583700They are meant to look like Henson designs, which is what they look like. They're NOT meant to be for SOTO, there is a difference.
>>11583701>movie about mutant monster animals>has to make senseOk dumbfuck.
>>11583704See >>11583694SotO and the first movie are the movies Henson was involved with, these are not meant to be designed after that, therefore they succeed in not looking like designs Henson did for the 90s movies.
>>11583707Do you not know how to read? They're not SOTO figures. They ARE Henson designs, they're meant to be if they were in the first movie.
>>11583703This is autism
>>11583709See >>11583703 and >>11583646The first movie was bases on the first run of the mirage comic and the only movie where Bebop and Rocksteady were suggested was SotO which these are not based on, which means they aren't based on a Henson design, and that is why they don't look like Henson style designs.
>>11583709This is mental retardation.
>>11583709Why would Henson designs for the first movie take inspiration from OOTS and the IDW comics? That makes no sense.
>>11583714That's why these are What If figures, because they're being put into the FIRST movie, not SOTO. You really do have a learning disability. They are Henson designs, always have been and always will be.
>>11583718Exactly!
>>11583714Except they do look like Henson designs. So your whole argument is moot.
>>11583719>it's for what if they were put into a story that they were never going to be a part of>not what if they were put into the movie that they wanted to include them inYou're a real genius, aren't you? Retard!
>>11583718They aren't.
>>11583723See >>11583694They aren't supposed to look like henson designs.
>>11583725No, that would be you, since you don't seem to understand What If figures! Same thing with the yellow jumpsuit April they're doing.
>>11583727See >>11583626
>>11583727>They aren't goodFtfy
>>11583730Seen it, you're wrong and let the Bay movies live rent free.
>>11583732>They are goodFtfy
>>11583694You really shot your own argument in the foot here.
>>11583734>They are good at not looking like something Henson would makeFtfy
>>11583735Not really. Posting AI slop art doesn't change that.
>>11583626they thought we wouldn't notice
>>11583737>They are good but look exactly like something Henson would makeFtfy again
>>11583733It's not based on the Bay movies, or Henson designs, it's based on IDW.See >>11583653
>>11583738The Neca figures look like they were designed with AI slop so it's fitting.
>>11583743No it's not, it's based on Henson designs.
>>11583733I actually like OOTS, so your burn is as spicy as Nando's Lemon and Herb seasoning.The fact that multiple anons have said that the Bebop design sucks seems to be living in your head rent free though.
>>11583742>They are good samples that look exactly like something Henson would make in his toilet after eating indian and mexican food all dayFtfy
>>11583749See >>11583694They are not designed after henson's style.
>>11583752Oooh he's gonna need some ointment for that burn.
>>11583752>multiple anonsYou're adorable, I'm sorry you think there's multiple anyone agreeing with you. Trolls samefagging isn't anything.
>>11583754>They are Henson designed Bebop and Rocksteady that he would be proud of having helped createFtfy
>>11583763No, you made it worse. Now it's just incoherent nonsense.
>>11583764No, that'd be your post.
>>11583626Lol they literally just moved his ears down and called it a day. Lazy ass N*CA fucks.
>>11583768You literally need to get your eyes checked.
>>11583767Talking to yourself again?
>>11583706Wrong again, child.
>>11583773>I take my mutant movies made to sell toys to children very seriously, I am a mature adultOk fucktard.
>>11583770You figuratively need to take the stick out of your ass. Or maybe literally. I don't know what your lifestyle choices are.
Has anon tried saying it does look like henson and then a lame attempt at an insult? I bet that would convince people.
>>11583759>I'm sorry you think there's multiple anyone agreeing with youAfter seeing comments from multiple people on forums where samefagging isn't a thing, there is a consensus that the Bebop design is awful and looks nothing like what HCS would have designed. But across every toy forum I've seen them discussed, I've only ever seen one pathetic loser actually try to defend this garbage, so I'm willing to bet that the samefagging you claim is happening is either imagined or a coping mechanism.
>>11583793There is zero consensus. The Bebop design is not awful and does look like what HCS would've designed. I'm sorry you apparently decide to hang around the most miserable toy sites on the internet. Nevermind the fact that people bitch about literally anything.
>>11583796>He said miserably as he posted on /toy/
>>11583793>the internet doesn't like somethingNews at 11
>>11583799You sound so old grandpa.
We all agree they're bad, but which is worse? NotHCS Bebop or Rubber [terrible conductor] Shredder?
>>11583803They're not bad, at all. Quit trying to stir up shit.
>>11583803At least bebop can be used as an ugly bastard character. The shredder has no place in any collection. Wouldn't buy either tho until they hit Ross and Ollie's.
>>11583812Typical troll response
>>11583796>I'm sorry you apparently decide to hang around the most miserable toy sites on the internetBeing able to voice your honest opinion about a toy is the opposite of miserable.Hell, I can go into almost any thread on this board and say I think something looks shit and know I won't be attacked by a company sycophant for voicing my opinion. You are so miserable that whenever someone says they don't like something that NECA made, you take it personally. Despite your attempts to make this thread the most miserable place on the internet, there are anons here that can tolerate differing opinions.
>still no joytoy newsI've heard rumors of a van but I would have thought another wave would be up by now, hopefully they're not done, I at least hoped to get a Baxter and some alternate heads for the turtles
>>11583803Shredder is fine. It looks like the source material. It might be digging at the bottom of the barrel for ideas, but that's to be expected when the line has made nearly every cool character into a figure and needs to resort to obscure Glup Shittos like Creepy Eddie. Honestly, I almost want Shredder. It probably helps that I'm a sperg that likes trains.Bebop is an eyesore. It needs to be banished to prototype hell.
>>11583803>>11583812Your parents must have really hated you for you to grow up acting like this.
>>11583820Shit taste on full display here.
>>11583821>>11583822Are you going to troll everyone all weekend because people not liking a half assed Bebop hurts your feelings?
>>11583823It's weird how you've chosen to get mad over something like this.
>>11583803They are both equally bad in different ways.
>>11583838But they aren't bad at all, so that statement doesn't make much sense.
>>11583803Bebop is definitely worse. I'm genuinely interested in movie style B&R so it's disappointing to see how awkward they turned out. Conductor Shredder isn't a figure I ever wanted, I have no intention of getting it so I don't really know or care if it's badly done.
>>11583859It's not awkward at all, however, so there's nothing about it that would make it worse than anything else.
>>11583859Yeah, the shredder is a totally who cares situation.
>>11583830Talking to yourself again?
>>11583879People that actually buy toys, so not you apparently
>>11583886Post collection.
>>11583886Not sure why I should care if I never had any intention of getting that figureLike if they make a figure of Shredder's mom and it turns out crappy I wouldn't care either because I don't want a figure of Shredder's mom
TMNT x Godzilla figures better go online soonNo luck in two target stores I've been top
>>11583982Mine did, but they sold out before I could get anything more than Leo. I love how goofy he is.
>>11583599I'm all for the mutton chops, but yeahhhh. the rest.. eh.. I mean I love spiked shoulders, but this is just spiked -trapezius area-Bebop needs his turtle shell pauldrons, IMO. you can put spikes on them if you want, make them alligator snapping turtle shells, or hell just make them koopa shells, but this just isn't balanced.still, the biggest problem is the head shape and ear placement. Bebop should not have a ton of head north of his ears, nor south of his mouth. he has a weak little pig chin, not this big diaper of a chin.>>11583626you know what though, the double tusks thing should be kept. because that's A) how you tell a boar from a sow, and B) how they sharpen their tusks, each set sharpens the other set. females just have smaller ones without that pairing.
>>11583695say now.. that'd be a pretty fun take.man that spiked knife was just always destined to be used, wasn't it
>>11583738this is AI? that's kind of impressive, that it was able to translate those designs so well from barely any information, and successfully turn them 45 degrees. it even preserved the height difference between the two (the reverse of the old show and toys)
>>11584138Get with the times shut-in
>>11583981Was Shredder's mom really in the show? I don't remember that at all.
>>11584187Yeah she came to visit the Technodrome and from what I remember she was a retired supervillain and was basically nagging Shredder about not doing it right
>>11584187>>11584213Yephttps://turtlepedia.fandom.com/wiki/Miyoko_SakiAlso continuing the tradition of the show staff not understanding that Saki is supposed to be Shredder's first name.
>>11584215they did get it right for his brother, I want to say. Who was called Oroku... Ken, or something like that.wait let me check the wiki since you just linked itah no, he was Kazuo Saki, and he was only called Oroku Kazuo in the Japanese dub. sploops.
>>11584215>>11584235weird that they apparently got it right with his ancestor Oroku Sansho
>>11584270THAT was it, thank you. I knew there was just one time they got it right.in fairness, given how americanized they are, and how many generations it's been, it's totally reasonable that this could have changed since Sansho's day. What was amazing to me was finding out that Hamato Yoshi and Oroku Saki/Nagi aren't exactly real names (Yamato Hoshi would have been. Though there's definitely people NICKNAMED Yoshi, and Saki and Nagi are real names but they're for girls. i believe I have that right)But in fairness, anime makes up new names based on word-kludges, all the time. and gives normal names new kanji.
>>11584282>and Saki and Nagi are real names but they're for girlsDid the Turtles ever shittalk him for having a girls name?
>>11584282>anime makes up new names based on word-kludgesMy personal favorite example is Backyard Bottomslash from Death Note
>>11584286Ha, yeah. and I love when they do that. I used to kinda have that ability built inBut I guess I meant even within japanese they do that.
Saw someone’s very impressive Bebop cosplay on Reddit and it made me think of the recent Bebop costume discussion here.https://www.reddit.com/r/TMNT/s/97z91Ci9CZ
>>11584379
>>11584380
>>11584381
>>11583576Can't wait for these. Hope the tariff bullshit doesn't fuck me.
>>11584379shit, that's a costume? fuckin hell yeah.
>>11584379>>11584380>>11584381>>11584383This is pretty fucking cool
>>11584383this is actually fascinating to look at, given the earlier discussion of how to fit a man into a very unusual body shape..I think it's safe to assume those hands don't articulate? They look like they're permanently in an action figure grip, which is fine... I would love to know how this looks while it walks, though. . and whether it's a pain in the guy's neck, because I would think his head's gotta be tilted forward.hmm yeah i'm looking down the reddit, he says hands are static, and he sees through the mouth, so, hmm.. the shoulder height >>11584381 here ...
>>11584398OH. he posted a gif. https://files.catbox.moe/0wqrhi.gif (it's too big to attach)okay this is interesting, unless he was just being jaunty on purpose, I think the thighs are very restricted by the belly here, hence having to kinda hop around. he can't really use his knees much.
>>11584400Yeah seems less like a full on costume and more like a wearable propStill neat to see though
>>11584401just so!It does make you wonder what limits could be circumvented in the case of an actual full-budget movie prop. Laird's idea for a TMNT reboot movie was to go back to Henson, but allow for CGI eye blinks and mouth movement cleanups, impossible stunts, junk like that. Under some circumstances, I suppose "cgi thigh-movement-fudging" would be acceptable in the name of more interesting movements. And maybe if the shoulders couldn't line up with the actor's shoulders, you could still have close-up shots of the arms with nothing inside (or just mechanisms), being puppeted.
>>11584402Keep in mind this is an amateur build, without the same kind of budget to do fully functioning suits.
>>11584571yeah hence... literally everything I saidI'm not sure how my post would make any sense without that fact as a given.like I'd have to be retarded to say "makes you wonder what limits could be circumvented in the case of an actual full-budget movie prop" and not understand this isn't one.You basically just watched me comment on a video of a fish biting someone saying "man what if it was a shark" and then you said "Keep in mind that isn't a shark, it's only a fish"

>>11584866Literally not what you said.
>>11584974I quoted myself almost verbatim though?did paraphrasing "it does make you wonder" to "makes you wonder" throw you off that hard?
On a related note, I found this show very good: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Henson's_Creature_Shop_ChallengeIt's got that 2010s Master Chef reality show bullshit, but it was still worthwhile imo because I love seeing people build and troubleshoot these awesome things.
>>11585146I remember this, did they ever say why it never got a second season?
>>11585146YES. I bring that sucker up periodically as the only good reality show (Maybe there was one other, I have a vague memory)The people involved in it were amazing, when they had the Men in Black guy and he was giving them tips (after it was too late), that was awesome. That show realllly made me want to get into fabricating stuff, but the fact that you had to have a CONTEST to get a job tells me.. yeah there's no demand. it's a huge investment of money for something nobody wants to pay for.>>11585149what would you offer as a prize? they can't afford to hire another person..
>>11585152>what would you offer as a prize? they can't afford to hire another person..Probably just a monetary prize like other competition shows. Face Off never offered a job with an effects studio as a prize.
>>11585162yeah I guess. that's a lot less fun though. and what are you meant to do with the money, make some puppets for just yourself? cosplay whatever?oh man how cool is that KamuiCosplay chick. Love that lady.but yeah I'd watch another go of that show, assuming they didn't 2020s it up too hard. if Brian Henson's still up for it.. god, it's so weird how few of the original muppet guys are around. but I've seen a lot of behind the scenes stuff with the new people, and aside from soibean levels being off the charts, they do really understand the craft and they care.
Found the new toon 2packs today. I feel blessed to have Granny Bebop and Baby Rocksteady. Quite possibly the silliest thing in the collection now. Also yay for the $20 off whatever it was thing Target had going.
>>11585327i remembern't the context of these outfits..man, can you just imagine an alternate universe where pokemon focused more on the characters, and instead of a million pokemon figurines, there were action figures of everyone in the anime including every alternate costume Musashi and Kojiro wore?
I've only seen Michelangelo and Leonardo in these 9ish inches shell storage figures: are they releasing the other two?
>>11585545do you mean reissues? because the originals are from 2012 and they did do all four
>>11585327This like 4 sexual fetishes at once.
Rage Toys revealRaph still no where to be found.Jennika being yellow isn't a surprise, but the fact that the second girl turtle is purple instead of light blue (tv show venus) or white (comic venus) was a surprise. They look good otherwise.
>>11586370eyy she kinda cute tho
>>11586370Those look really nasty.
>>11586370it kinda went too far into the weird lookin territory then it somehow poked back through into cute
>>11586370I can skip these entirely. The faces are actually awful. They're like retarded goldfish looking.
>>11585578>>11585545I just got this one and Leo recently and haven't seen the other two. Guess I'm super late ?
>>11585892>furry>ABDL>tranny>GILFIs that it? I had trouble getting to 4 because I was counting diaper-fur as one fetish, but realised I should separate them.
>>11586767Does increasing your age count as age play? That'd be 5.
Saw someone’s customized 2012 Leonardo and wow, it improves the figure a lot and fixes all my issues I have with the NECA release. Left is before, right is after.https://www.reddit.com/r/NECATMNT/s/uTEYSjReyr>This figure is really amazing. The articulation is a bit wacky, but after upgrades it's a lot better. >The right bicep swivel on mine tore apart, so I had to use the screw method to replace it, turns out it felt a lot better and more study than before, so I also did it on the left arm. >The modifications I did are>Repainted mask+eyes >Trimmed the sides of front shell and repainted>Trimmed out more torso articulation at the joint>Replaced the hinge in the right sword holding hand with a ball joint, for vertical movement>Wired posable bandana in the back>I also separated the front shell from the left side completely, and the bottom, to allow more movement>The last image is a good example of before and after, especially for the shell. If you want to see more of this figure, and my work, follow me on Instagram Seething_customs. I'll modify the other turtles when I get them
>>11587287Examples of the improved movement after modification
>>11587291
>>11587295
>>11587287The NECA release was perfect before some retard started messing with it.
>>11587287Some bored dork started cutting at the figure, made barely any real changes and posted about it? I always knew customers were autistic, but geez
>>11587287>>11587291>>11587295>>11587296Side by side I can kinda see the changes made, it looks fine. But I would not have been able to tell it was customized on it's own except for the wired bandana; that's actually a pretty sweet change to make.
>>11587479yeah something tells me you have to actually handle this to really feel the improvements
>>11587287>Seething_customsthe irony kek
>>11584887When in the fuck are these going up for sale, damn
>>11587291They didn't do anything
>>11586370Yep skipping both of them. Animu eyes are kinda gross. Also female turtles was always bad idea storywise. Shoud make Ninjara and Alopex instead of this.Still waiting for Raph. And maybe Shredder and Slash from this dude.
>>11587584what the fuck anime have you been watching if you think that's from that? if anything they're pixar eyes, except they're not blue.
>>11586370Who?
>>11586370Jennika and Lita?
>>11587456It's better than being the bored dork that is seething at someone for modifying a toy slightly.
Every Shredder figure in existence. Enjoy.No to playmates of course because of poor toy quality. Also no 1990 movie version because he's just bad cosplayer in funny clothes.
Second batch. My favorite is 2003 armor and most of chinks offerings.
>>11587685this looks like pokemon evolution
>>11587659Why are you talking about yourself?
>>11587584What about mona lisa?
>>11587831lizard
>>11587832Yeah salamander.
>>11587834wait was she a salamander? not a lizard?come to think of it, the way she's drawn... hm. i'm having flashbacks now to when I tried to make battletoads OCs who were newts and frogs
>>11587838oh okay, cartoon version was a salamander but they never really showed or explained because she was GONNA be a turtle til kevin and peter said no fuckin wayTOY version was a lizard. man I wish super7 would use this as their basis for one. the original toy needed a lot of work.
>>11587844I wish her og action figure gets the ultimates treatment, like how slash, baxter and mondo gecko did.
>>11587857so you liked it as-is? that's fair I guess, but I think it was a lil uggo, particularly compared to how cute she was on the show, and I think this original toy sketch is better.
She’s beautiful
>>11587899You sound unhinged. Maybe get off the internet for a bit.
>>11587903Talking to yourself again?
Every playmates shredder because >>11587684 is a fag.
>>11587907
>>11587908
>>11587909
>>11587907Nobody gives any shits about playmates but nice work anyway.
>>11586412>>11587584>Yep skipping both of them. Animu eyes are kinda gross>>11586422>The faces are actually awfulI mean the anime eyes aren't everyone's taste, but consider that rage toys has consistently put out a "found the copyright line" bonus accessory set with an alternate head or two, I fully expect these girls to get a unhelmeted, masked head in there somewhere. Assuming they do another pair of girls for shits and giggles, l'm guessing Venus (light blue or white) and Mona (pink)? I like the yufffie ninja star, but what other weird weapons could they get though? Maybe... Hook swords? Some other weird thing.
>>11588472forgot to mention, like, jennika comes with her bow here >>11586370so I assume her claws (along with alt head) are surely in the accessory pack.
>>11587584>Shoud make AlopexI mean if you can get past the missing blue facepaint thing and the mutant town casual clothes, Lado toys already did a solid Alopex. Unless the exposed feet are part of it too? I don't know if that's part of it for you. She's also coming out with an alternate armoured body, so that might get closer to the ninja suit if you didn't like the civilian clothes.
>>11588496you understand there are other differences, right?
>>11588496Other than being the same species that doesn't look anything like Alopex
Joytoy Metalhead
>>11588984Pretty neato
Joytoy Crocker
>>11588987Can't help but notice how light these two figures are on accessories compared to past figures. Taco troubles I'm assuming.
>>11588987>>11588988>doesn't look like vintage toy>doesn't look like cartoon>doesn't look like 2K3>looks like third party toy insteadWell that's a choice.
