Image era(technically started as a mirage book but shifted to Image), from the Bodycount miniseries Kevin eastman wrote with Simon Bisley that was basically a Heavy Metal TMNT story. Image ran with it and had Casey keep the mask(and gave Raph his old mask after his face got wrecked), and while the stories aren't canon to Mirage, it became a somewhat popular visual

Given how they're on sale on Amazon right now, should I bite the bullet and get all four of the S7 2K3 turtles?

>>11613321
I've seen people get them for as low as $27, which is a much better price with how little you get with them. So, yes, if you can get them cheap, they're worth that at least.

>>11613321
How deep of a discount? Sub $40 per turtle?

>>11613327
$160 together

>>11613329
It's not a bad price, if you really dig them then it's probably worth it.

>>11613338
Don't they have issues like fucky joints and painting?

>>11613346
The joints and intended paint apps on my set were fine, there's a clearance issue where their arms folded down can press into the should socet and cause some plastic rubbing.

Any chances of NECA doing Red Sky stuff? I'm getting S7's 2K3 stuff tomorrow and I'll get into NECA's 2K12 once we get versions who's alternate heads don't suck so I may as well balance with the 1987 versions but I want ones who won't cause some sort of "lol the 1987 show was silly and the turtles were complete goofballs who wouldn't shut up are we right?" shit.

>>11613321
They are in my opinion the best Super 7 figures yet, when it comes to articulation and feel.
40 dollars each still seems a little high if you don't specifically have affinity for those versions though.

>>11613556
>>11613558
Meh, just feel it would look awkward if I end up displaying them with other versions due to their "bright" expressions and colors.

>>11613584
oh you just wanna keep your serious and gritty figures separate. that's fair. shelf organization is important.
>>11613579
if they were a head or two taller than the regular S7 turtles, so I could do my own Turtles Forever, and if they were more playmatesy (veins etc) then I could be talked into it, but I don't like what they did with the sculpts, and they are the same height (thus thinner and visibly out of scale) with the normal turtles. I fear the same will be true of Shredder, the one I was considering.

Mona lisa will always have a special place in the heart of the fandom, moreso than venus de milo.

>>11613912
oh and they should start by hewing closer to the toys, which were NOT too shabby.

>>11613933
I think people are just resistant to the idea of a fifth turtle in general
Even Slash only gets a pass because he's never depicted as having some innate connection to the main turtles, most of the time he's either specifically created by an outside party to be their enemy, or his origin has nothing to do with them and their resemblance is basically coincidental. Some versions go out of their way to make Slash look nothing like them. Either way he's never depicted as being some long-list evil brother of theirs.

>>11613943
in general and in specific, for sure.
>>11613933
it makes sense for the sewer to have some other animals (after all, Splinter was there already), but not so much another random baby turtle that we have to shoehorn in as a dumb retcon.

still, I think as a specifically just-for-fun thing, you could make it work. Give it the Lower Decks treatment where it enhances what worked but riffs on what didn't. but.. not the designs. make the art like the toys.
give us a proper Dragon Lord and some minions that look like they had a budget. give us a Bonesteel who actually looks like he could be a rival for Casey Jones.

>>11613955

Style doesn't match the MM figures, but scales the same as 2012. MOTUxTMNT figures look good with it as long as the character is meant to be beefy in comparison.

Looks close to BST AXN scale. It beats out the BST AXN version of IDW Shredder in terms of sculpt and paint. The bicep swivel is cut in such a way that the sculpt doesn't get messed up like the BST AXN and even though the knee is limited with only a single swivel-hinge, it also doesn't break up the sculpt the way BST AXN's double knee does.

>>11615075
Hmm, now I'm wondering if the foot ninjas will scale well with the BST AXN IDW figures that I already have. The biggest holes in my collection are that they never got around to the foot ninjas, Splinter, April and Casey, and I was looking forward to getting four foot ninjas as army builders before the line got canceled. If they're the same height as Shredder due to McFarlane's lulzy scaling I might pick up four (I already have the BST AXN Shredder and he's the same height as a classified series GI Joe).

Is it true S7's 2K3 figures are made from some sort of plastic that deteriorates over time?

>>11615072
Not bad, honestly. Thanks for posting this.

>>11615072
That looks like crap. Doesn't work with them at all.

>>11615195
They're covered in a very thin, squishy rubber overlay that damages and dries out pretty fast, yes.

Would using a hair-dryer or shock oil to loose the S7 2K3 figures be a good idea?

>>11615217
Probably couldn't hurt, but generally the only joints I see freezing up on S7 have been knees. Usually a few firm but slow bends tens to free them up forever.

>>11615240
What about their straps getting weakened?
And how could I avoid putting to much pressure into them? I heard applying too much pressure causes them to possibly break.

>>11615245
Their weapon belts? I haven't seen any reason why you could cause those to get strained, they already seem appropriately sized both with and without the weapons in them.

>>11615247
I meant their elbow and knee pads.
Also I meant the joints snapping due to pressure.

>>11615252
>I meant their elbow and knee pads.
Ah, yeah they seem fine. They don't look particularly stressed, and move without too much force so I wouldn't be worried about them.
With pressure, it's always better to be conservative. You shouldn't have to force anything, just start out easy and very slowly increase it. Heat makes it less risky on bigger joints if you're impatient or if it feels REALLY stuck but I've only ever needed heat on a super 7 knee like, once. I did have to grease up Metalheads thigh rotation with some silicon lube but he was an absolute freak of QC failures.

>>11615072

They are simply too new for anyone to genuinely know. But it’s S7; they usually fuck things up when given the chance.

Its nice that the rereleased Scrag, but locking him in with something that frequently sells for less than it's RRP on eBay is a bit shit. If they want us to buy shit they've already sold to us, could they at least pick things that people don't mind having duplicates of? I'd feel at lot less dirty if he came with some Foot Soldiers instead of meme figures that only came out a year ago.

>>11615972
That wouldn't make any sense to come with foot soldiers.

>>11615975
That would be perfect then, because it doesn't make sense for NECA to pack him in with something that sells for less than RRP and only came out a year ago. Doing things that don't make sense seems to be the current NECA business model. Does it make any sense for Casey Jones to be packed in with John Connor's minibke? Fuck no. Didn't stop NECA from doing it though.

>>11615981
You can keep whining about "sells less than RRR" whatever the fuck, but it does make sense to pack them together like this. At least it's a proper theme.

Yes, it makes sense to pack Casey with a dirtbike, because that's something Casey would ride. You're an idiot.

No, it's your brand war bullshit. The only reason you are defending such a shitty half-baked product is because of the company that made it. I can be critical of Brian fucking up the hips of the Ultimates and Randy pulling cheap shit like the Casey with minibike because I don't have any loyalty to any company. I can criticize just about every company that has made TMNT figures for their shortcomings, from Playmates being cheap fucks with their paint apps to Mezco's ugly half-assed Toon Turtles. I don't worship one company and consider them beyond criticism, nor do I hold a grudge against any single company.
But only one company will have some retarded nutjob defending it from criticism every single time.

Considering the humans looked that way proportionately to the turtles in the 2012 toyline and animated series anyway, I think that argument is invalid. Most of Shredder's bulk in 2012 was his bladed armor pieces and his gigantic The Maxx style boots.

okay so they go as small as 1:220 scale, which by my thinking would indeed look like a toy to him
and as large as.. wow, 1:5.5. that's insane. but there's also 1:8 and 1:11 standards, and the latter might be more ideal for shredder.

>>11621323
>playmates does not own playmates-styled figures.
>nothing they did in the 2k3 line is specifically theirs
Sure, but the fact that they never actually sued S7 for any trademark violation regarding the vintage line and that S7 initially had workarounds like "appeared on other merch" to get figures made tells me that Playmates don't exactly own anything from the vintage line either. They were just kicking up a stink with Nickelodeon execs about S7 impeding on their master license. So take a guess as to what would have happened if S7 had made Playmates styled figures.

>>11621358
yeah but i meant- when I said own, I meant yknow, shorthand for this whole situation where they can raise a stink

they really cannot raise a stink if someone happens to make something bulgy and veiny, with fun, creative accessories. I flat-out refuse to accept that, if they had tried that, there would have been pushback. Again especially since the 2k3 line really wasn't playmates styled (from the neck down, they were built as toys for the ungreenlit WB TMNT show from... 2000ish? hence the proportions)

As the master license holder, they can kick up a stink about whatever they want. They kicked up a stink about NECA for years despite NECA's releases not even being close to anything they put out. I bet the reason those Chinese Lingjihun Turtles were pulled from BBTS was because they had a sook.

>>11622867
that's... really not bad.

>>11622867
The realistic eyes jumpscared me for a second. This is a sweet looking figure, kinda huge but for that price it should be.

>>11622867
Not into 1/6 but looks good.
My favorite part of this are the reprogrammed mousers. Cute to see they put the vintage extra weapons in too.

>>11622938
yeah kamas are really underrated. fuckin love mea kama, and it has to be this kind or something similar, because the boring just 90 degree angle hook mini sickle just... doesn't feel weapony.

>>11622606
Seeing the pic makes me agree with >>11621934
The art looks cool, but the figures look like a school art project that got a B. And I'd say the B was really generous. Whoever sculpted them needs more practice before they decide to charge people $200 for shit like this.

>>11622945
Iunno that looks like a deserved B to me.
The proportions are changed a bit to be more Playmates-like, but it fixed an error in the original where one bracer has concave squares instead of convex ones. unfortunately it also fixed what wasn't broken in the rotary saw weapon, so now- wait, the teeth trail away from the direction of rotation, right?

>>11622961
>Iunno that looks like a deserved B
You can see Rocksteady's open eye in the concept sketch, and they've interpreted it as some weird squint. Also the scutes on Bebop's armor are completely disproportionate to the drawing.
>where one bracer has concave squares instead of convex ones
I never interpreted it like that, but I can see it now. I have a postcard someone sent me of Triton's fountain in Malta that seems to have an optical illusion where it does a weird inversion like that.
>it also fixed what wasn't broken in the rotary saw weapon
Yeah.
Like I said, a B was generous.

>>11623009
are you sure we're not the ones interpreting it as a squint? it's really hard to tell from this angle.
>bigger scutes
good point, but I think that's like how they have big hands and feet. it's playmates chunkification. Not to my liking, and one of the things that got me out of liking TMNT in the mid-90s, but still. I don't think they were aiming to hit the originals flawlessly, and missed.

I thought about that. I've circled what could be interpreted as the pupil on the figures and the eyes that I can see in the concept drawing. The issue is that what could be eyes on the figure are in a completely different spot to the drawing, and still look nothing like the artwork.

>>11623076
oh yeah no, I can see that you're both right, wrong, and a little wrong again but understandable. see those folds in the area you circled are 100% lower eyelids, so the eye is here. it is tiny, squinty, and unpainted.

>>11623078
in fact you can even see that dot you circled in the drawing, along with its neighbors, the converging V, and the long line to our right curling around to see his friends.

>>11623078
>see those folds in the area you circled are 100% lower eyelids

Playmates probably ain't happy about that. They lose ground when these projects fail. When Rise did as badly as it did, it really shook them up. I think that was part of why they got more protective of their shit (going after Super7 etc).

This makes me happy. This is the worst TMNT, design wise. The idea of them being actual relatable teens is wholesome, but the designs ruined the franchise more for me than Rise ever did.

>>11623299
Production halted, it's getting cancelled.

>>11622867
I like the idea of Donny repurposing mousers, a series should do something with that.

>>11623591
Rise was terrible on all fronts, from storytelling to character design and portryal. At least MM had some good storytelling, character building, and some solid action scenes in both the movie and the streaming series.

But you guys said Seth Rogen saved TMNT...

Guesses on how Playmates is going to stay afloat between Tales' cancellation and the 2027 MM sequel?
Power Rangers is fucked without recent Sentai footage and merchandise to stay fresh and Monsterverse isn't as evergreen as Mattel's Jurassic license.

>>11623591
teens are adults. you're meant to inspire to a better future, not relate to the present.

>>11623924
>without recent sentai footage
i thought power rangers simply quit using it, not that it ran out

>>11623991
Exactly; Hasbro telling Toei to eat shit is what killed the franchise.
Nobody care about outdated shit like Zyuranger.

>>11623992
I mean, that's almost entirely what people care about, but I get what you mean. The confusing part was your use of 'recent' which I now realize you mean "they are still milking the old shows, but not using the new ones anymore"

they're not 'fucked without recent footage' because recent footage is right there for the taking, they're ... fucked with terrible executives who need to be institutionalized.

>>11623591

with a total inability to save the videos for later...

>>11624199
I've actually been rewatching it. It's a lot of fun, and I got the whole series on DVD for like, 25 dollars.

>>11624307
fun is right. if you want substance, ehh maybe somewhere else.
Well, i'm told it gets better later, particularly surrounding splinter
personally I just can't stand the art, but it's not like it was slapped-together garbage. they WANTED it to look like that.

>>11624335
Splinter's one of the best characters ever.
>Can be super serious. The Rat King episodes and the ones where he actually helps out against Shredder are top notch
But he can also be a funny fucker too. A particular line exchange between him and April sticks in my head.
>"If we get separated in the Krang HQ, we'll be like...like...LIKE RATS IN A MAZE! ...Oh, sorry Sensei."
>"No no, I do enjoy a good maze."

>>11624338
yeah if they had kept the balance of serious and funny for everyone like they did him, it could have been a very watchable show, with merely hideous art
but naw. it was exactly what Nick set out to make. Mindless pablum for toddlers.

>>11624340
Nah, 2012 had a decent mix. Only downside is too much Mikey. Like, holy shit, not only can his VA do one voice (one octave different from Beast Boy), but he gets too many attempts to be funny.

>>11624341
There was also the problem of making Mikey just straight up retarded. Instead of being the goofball they made him the obnoxious little brother that can't follow basic instructions and so many episodes revolve around some incident caused by his inability to not do the dumbest possible thing he can think of.

>>11624364
YES! Exactly! It was charming the first season, but he refuses to fucking grow.

>>11624364
You just have shit opinions.

>>11624382
It'd be fucking amazing if Mikey used his mistakes to grow as a character, becoming a goofball but more serious. But they refused to change him even a little bit. Even if there was a lesson he could learn he ignored it to make an 'LOL SO RANDUM' joke about laser squirrels or pizza fairies

>>11624399
No reason to change what works for the character.

>>11624341
they made mikey a drooling fucking retard
2003 mikey was already the worst part of the show, being an insanely overconfident frat boy, but 2012 mikey needs to be in assisted living.

>>11624400
it doesn't work. why would teenagers raised in ninjutsu for so many years have one who's an idiot?

in their PROPER personalities, mike is quite possibly the brightest one. The artist, the guy who sees things differently from others and pieces solutions together. The guy who's so fucking bored because his brain is so active, that he can't stand anything dull like practicing, or dull serious speeches, and has to goof off and crack wise to give his brain some more dopamine to keep going. I guess I shouldn't be surprised no adaptation gets this, but if they need help, and I've said it before, think Egoraptor.

>>11624403
But it does work. Why would you assume he can't be an "idiot" but still have talents with ninjutsu? You're bitching about shit that doesn't matter. You're a fool.

>>11624364
>so many episodes revolve around some incident caused by his inability to not do the dumbest possible thing he can think of.
It was even more unforgivable when Donnie would do the dumbest shit possible to endanger everyone.

I think Foot Soldier and Shredder share the same body. I dont know how much taller BST AXN Shredder is compared to the turtles but i think McFarlanes Shredder is a smidge shorter than the BST AXN.

Id be interested in seeing how McF Shredder fits in with the new remastered turtles. If it fits as well as the 2012 it might be a decent stand in for the multi pack Playmates version.

>>11623924

Theyll coast on Season 2 Tales for the entirety of next year.

They can pepper remastered single reissues along with Rocksteady and even MORE reissues to get them to 2027 when/if that sequel manages to come out.

>>11624585
She not even thicc. Fuck IDW woke trash.

>>11624585

Calm down, these stories are all done in one like the show. She'll never be seen again.

For context,

>Pranhoid gene slams a circus as part of his latest scheme
>the Sharks stop him
>the circus employees decide to embrace it and take the show on the road, never to be seen again

And thats even assuming the comic goes past these first five issues.

>>11624585
surely the idea is 'hey while we're in a comic about mutations, we'll see a new one appear who's kind of like the turtles (generic rounded face and humanoid body) but kinda like the street sharks (a fish)'
like in Turtles Forever when the serious 2003 shredder used the insanely powerful toonforce-tier energy of the 1987 mutagen to deliberately make a bunch of monsters
>>11624682
oh so it's not mutagen. missed opportunity. she doesn't look like one of Piranoid's gene-slamming victims at all.

>>11624683

None of them do really. He went with whatever worked for their acts (thats the trapeze artist, the strongman became an elephant fish, the ringmaster was named mister Tusks so he became a walrus, etc). He promised it would save them from bankruptcy, then rigged the stands to emit gene-slamming gas from under the seats.

>>11624687
sad. because those all sound like they'd make awesome street sharks villains if they actually had the design and build they should.

>>11624690

Indeed. The line was seriously lacking in villains.

>>11624694
but all of them super memorable. yeah more would have been nice. give us a buncha kaiju. i wonder who designed them

>>11624816
Because the writer for IDW TMNT after issue #100 was a trannie that shoehorned it's barely disguised fetish and personal politics into the comic until someone else took over to right the ship.
Also, CHAZ was in Seattle. I don't think Portland was lucky enough to have that, so they just got mostly peaceful arson attacks instead.

>IDW's Street Sharks

Find it interesting that all these animal hero teams are coming back when the series they're ripping off (*Kinda* with Swat Kats) is in a rut right now.

>>11624940
Apart from Biker Mice, none of these other franchises has ever had a revival while TMNT reinvents itself every few years without ever really going away for long.
>If you count them, there's going to be a new Swat Kats comic already funded by the fans
The Swat Kats revival has been in development for a decade with the creators pushing to get a studio to pick up the show again. Biker Mice has been in development since 2023. Mattel have realised Street Sharks still has an audience after the 30th anniversary, but are still giant faggots that won't release waves 3 and 4 of the 30th figures despite the main characters selling out everywhere. I don't know enough about what's happening with Moo Mesa to comment on what's been happening with it.
Also, all these old series have people behind them that want to please fans of the original show. Nickelodeon couldn't give a fuck about TMNT fans, they only care about the line on the graph going up, but they are too out of touch to figure out why the line won't go up.

>>11625223
MM Splinter wasn't a deadbeat dad. He was an overprotective parent. Shitty O.C. was pretty much Baxter Fly with extra steps. Shredder is revealed at the end to set up a sequel, which makes sense because even Eastman and Laird vocalized regret in how they killed off Shredder in what they expected to be a one-off comic.

So my local Walmart dumped the pile of unsold Blue Bellybombs and Shredd/Krangs onto the discount section for $10 each. Picked up Shredder/Krang and had some problems with it: the figure came apart at the torso upon removal from the plastic tray!

Good news, it was a connect port but to get it to reconnect, I had to remove the loincloth piece. Was able to successfully reconnect it though and to be frank, the figure looks decent without the plastic loincloth. He's my very first non-OG Playmates Shredder and is a cool character, even with the crappy shading issues. And the Krang figure is also cool mini-figure wise.

>>11625671
My biggest gripe against NECA is sometimes, pins that should be in sockets aren't in them. My Demona has one of her ankle pins outside of the thing that houses them. Even dunking her leg in boiling water and trying to force it in didn't help.

>>11625743
yep I've had that happen to varying degrees of problemness. None ever ruined it, but I do have some limbs that can just come off of their joints if you pull hard.. and i've SEEN pictures of much worse ones.

>>11625743
It has nothing do with NECA, it happens with any pinned figure, and all you have to do is heat it up and push it through. It's no big deal.

>>11625671
Heat up the torso and pop it back on the waist peg, it's for the waist swivel. That's all.

>>11625884
Been trying that. I'm afraid I might break the plastic loop with how far I stretch it and it still won't go in. Figured I'd just display Demona, not mess with her or pose her anymore.

>>11626653
I completely forgot how to spell viacom when making that image.

>>11626668
fair, but uh, so the thing about that is, viacom owns the entire franchise now, unless i've been lied to
you might have pointed out a few things they didn't get, but having a section for viacom on the right is silly because it's literally 'everything else' including all of 1987 (hence that not having representation on your chart)

>>11626636
I don't think 4kids owns anything. Or Playmates for that matter. Honestly, the only ones that would probably be off limits for Paramount without an agreement would be the Saban characters, and a couple from the vintage era like Usagi and Panda Khan, and a few Mirage characters Bloodsucker, Cerebus, and there was one or two more Mirage characters that escape me whose creator held onto the rights.
>>11626653
>>11626669
You got it backwards. Viacom is owned by Paramount. Viacom no longer exists. I don't know why people keep bringing up Viacom. They haven't existed for over half a decade.

>>11626636
Ok, I was curious about those later Playmates characters, so I did some wiki reading, and these are the appearances they made (or almost made) outside the toyline, if any.

Halfcourt: background of Shredders Revenge DLC, and an unnamed mutant giraffe basketballer that homages the character appears in an episode of Rise.

Monty Moose: relatively large role in IDW comic.

Walkabout: toy only

Scale Tail: almost appeared in both TMNT 3 on Gameboy and Mutant Mayhem, but was cut during development both times. Appeared in issue 2 of Black, White, and Green comic.

Hot Spot: toy only

Killer Bee: toy only

Needle nose: several minor background appearances in IDW comic.

>>11626669
I just don't think Viacom is willing to deal with Saban/Hasbro. They own everything from the Next Mutation, that's why IDW went through some hoops to make a new version of Venus.
Dunno on their stance dealing with Konami.

>>11626739
because viacom ran nickelodeon, MTV, etc. paramount ran star trek and until pretty recently nobody ever paid attention to that, since star trek ran on whatever channel it felt like.
so to us, viacom is the big one. Nick/MTV are the big names. Paramount is whatever.

>>11626904
>unwilling to deal with
so does that mean you think they own it or not? because you said you think they own it, but then 'dealing with them' is irrelevant. and you said there were hoops to jump through with venus, suggesting- unless you're trying to say Paramount (see anon I picked it up) is the ones telling IDW what they're allowed to use and might be doing so with stinginess that Saban wouldn't?

>>11627076
Pretty sure they couldn't use the Venus they way they wanted so they turned her into a Punk frog that got frankensteined into a turtle.

>>11627090
hm. possible. i wish things like this were more transparent.

>>11627074
>viacom is the big one.
>Paramount is whatever.
This is weird to hear. Paramount is one of the big 5 movie studios (formerly big 7 until MGM and 20th Century Fox were consumed) and they existed almost half a century before Viacom. Half the movies I watched as a kid had that damned mountain logo. Paramount were always bigger to me.

>Paramount (see anon I picked it up)
Thank you. I normally contained my autism when it was mentioned in the past, but seeing someone says Viacom owns Paramount made me fetch my fidget spinner while I work on my Sonic OC donutsteel artwork.

If 4kids made them the rights automatically went to Mirage, and then by extension Viacom.

And for what its worth, Monty Moose is in IDW.

Now that I think about it, all the toy characters were designed by Mirage staff, so by extension they should have gone to Viacom too.

yeah but who the fuck ever thinks about MGM or paramount or uhhhh Tristar? like people who call movies "Films" maybe. for the lay person, it's fox, disney, viacom, warner, and NBC. these are the people behind franchises we actually like.

>>11627213
not necessarily, only if they also bought the entirety of playmates's rights. you can design something FOR another company and they at least partly own it
but I do believe that is the case, and they did buy those rights.

>>11627213
I mean the Mirage staff designed Venus, Bonesteel and Dragon Lord, yet Saban still owns them.

>all the toy characters were designed by Mirage staff
I thought Varner Studios designed the characters, but they were contracted by Mirage.

MGM are the ones with the lion logo that turns into Tom at the start of Tom and Jerry cartoons. Paramount are the ones with the mountain logo. Tristar had the Pegasus. Same as the 20th Century Fox logo with the drumroll and the horns opening for Star Wars. This shit was memorable because they were associated with memorable movies.
The funny thing is I can remember the "Viacom" voice at the end of their shows, but I would struggle to actually name 10 things they made.
>NBC
What worthy franchises did NBC make? Cheers and Frasier? Seinfeld? Do they make anything else that isn't aimed at housewives or milquetoast motherfuckers that think Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers are peak comedy?

>>11627422
Cheers, Frasier, Seinfeld, and SNL yeah. to me those are bigger than anything MGM ever made. Tom and Jerry feels so ancient, even by Looney Tunes standards.
I guess I'm just more a TV guy than movie guy. so it's probably just me.

Oh shit, NECA started the 2012 line?

>>11628201
Yes, the 4 turts and Shredder are out.

>>11628218
Any words if they're gonna keep going? I'd love if they did the Turducken Chimera or NOT April's Mom.

>>11628238
They showed off Tigerclaw at NYCC and had a sneak preview hinting at Slash earlier in the year, so they will probably go pretty far. Chimera is a pretty big guy and would be pretty expensive, but April's clone mom seems more likely eventually.

>>11628201
Yeah, they're in Targets now.

>Not to mention is usually much more heroic than Godzilla.

Playmates doesn’t have Gamera

>>11628307
I've been re-watching the series, there's so many fun versions of characters they can do. Rahzar, Pigeon Pete, Napolean Bonafrog, Kraang Irma Mech.
>>11628486
They either got in trouble for using old kaiju they don't have the license for/didn't pay for, or scrapped the classic Godzilla line because they thought it'd fail. Also, the comic is IDW, who bought the license to use a lot of classic kaiju.
