Scale Tail
Are the McFarlane Turtles good quality?
It's also confirmed at Toy Fair that these 3 figures shown last year there are cancelled. So yeah, thanks Mattel.
>>11712931No, they are pretty bad and overpriced, I wish I didn't buy Shredder.. I just come to peace that we will never have good IDW figures at a good price.
>>11712908Good to see you update more stuff in the OP this time, but you forgot to update about Joytoy Robo Bebop and Rocksteady and Super7 2k3 April news.Also remove the Mezco stuff. Those preorders are finished.And the Jinglihung exclusives from Wonderfest(?) are now more widely available.Probably some NECA stuff can be updated too. I don't know.Just trying to help you make a better OP, so don't take it personally.
>>11712936Damn, thats sad
>>11712942He's a shitty OP
>>11712931Nope
>>11712931
>>11713017I can't tell if this is good or bad
>>11713064Look at the overspray on the wraps, and then you'll start to notice more issues.
>>11713070Honestly no different than what neca does
>>11713076If you think that's true you might have a debilitating mental condition. How sad.
Predictions for how Mattel will handle TMNT? I see them do an approach like with MotU movie with First Ones and Chronicles. DC might be a good idea too.Maybe we get a TMNT x DC crossover next?
Was there ever a toy of Radical?
Will the retro figures series continue or is it over now? They had some issues desu but I still enjoyed the ones I bought.
>>11713108Pixel Dan confirmed everything shown at Toy Fair is all Playmates has left for TMNT. There will be nothing else.
>>11713108Do we know if Playmates owns the molds or Paramount? Could it be a Star Wars situation? Disney for example owns all Star Wars molds Hasbro/Kenner made because Lucas made the toys deal so if let's say Disney gave the SW license to Mattel or Jazwares they can reissue those old Hasbro/Kenner molds.Or what if Mattel makes articulated figures in the style of old Playmates Toys? Inspired by them?
>>11713114There were a few gimmick lines like Turtle Launcherz that were not allowed to be filmed/photographed that are coming this fall but yeah, this is all. The gimmicks can be seen a little in the background.
>>11713108I picked up 4 packs of some playmates stuff I don't haveat bbts (2k3, movie star, Toony, etc) because this may be it forever.
>>11713116>no more wholesome little 80s badass boomer goodness kino reissue? :o
>all this crying of Playmates losing the licenseIt's not only here btw, I see it everywhere. Imagine if Hasbro lost the Star Wars or Marvel licenses, imagine the reactions.>>11713125It's possible Mattel will do a bad job tho.
>>11713125This franchise runs on nostalgia. Mattel didn't pay out the ass for this license to just make Seth Rogen pegwarmers. That's not where the gravy is.
>>11713131would a new TMNT line based around making every character from the 2003 series sell?
>>11713135lol, fuck no
>>11713136>don't know what to tell you buddy but as we see it? nostalgia is what sells and the bread and butter of any toyline>okay they should make 2003 designs>NOT LIKE THAT NOOOso why is neca making Fortnite turtles? the designs look a lot like 2003. how come no one has taken the idea of a Zombie Baxter or dark turtles from there it was great
>>11713108Unless Mattel sublicenses it to Playmates or works out a deal with them to use the molds, that's gonna be it.>>11713129>>11713131Don't reply to the rat.
>>11713139Because Fortnite's good, and the Fortnite turltes are good designs. 2003 is bad, and that's why nobody wants it.
>>11713123WrongSport turts
>>11713152damn you boomers must still be mad the 2003 movie made fun of boomer TMNT as corny and weird huh
>>11713157I personally hated the "I'M THE ONLY TRUE SHREDDER!" stuffThank God they never tried alien Shredder again
So is it depressing or hilariously ironic that Playmates last possible outing with their sacred cow is a collab with another company's toyline?
>>11713158This kind of crap is why I'm glad Playmates is losing the license.
Vintage bros... it's fucking over>>11713108Nope
>>11713163>he thinks Mattel won't do the same kind of crapOh boy
Would TMNT Origins be based around vintage Playmates synergy or original designs a la Fortnite and Joytoy?
>>11713189I think they could be inspired by Playmates toys art but still do their own thing.
>>11713152>Fortnite's goodHow embarrassing. Fortnite players don't even praise Fortnite these days.>Fortnite turltes are good designs>2003 is badYou praised Fortnite. Opinion discarded.
No one's asking this question, now that Mattel will have the TMNT license, will this affect Lego? I know Lego is releasing a Brickheadz set in april this year but will they do more? Will Mattel Brick Shop make sets in 2027? I'm personally ok with MBS making sets because Mega did a better job then Lego with the license and if Lego kept making sets they would probably only make 18+ sets for afols that cost an arm and leg.
>>11713192You don't seem to know anything. Why even post?
>>11713168This is the thing I'll miss the most. I loved going to the store and picking up reissues.
>>11713189Vintage toys with new articulation and occasional new figures and crossovers. Then a Cartoon Collection based on the different animated shows.
>>11713203Active monthly player numbers are in freefall. You don't have to pretend you like a shitty video game that even the player base is quitting en masse just because NECA are making Ninja Turtles toys from it.
>>11713168Mattel would just make new molds based off the designs of the vintage toys. Whatever Playmates has they've likely already given us. The molds would be degraded and in need of serious repair if they still had all of them. A number of items were obviously of bootleg quality or new sculpts meant to look like the vintage toys.
>>11713189If it's new then it wouldn't be "origins" like. They should be incredibly close to the og figures, but with updated articulation. It's not that complicated.
>>11713243They could do that, right? Weren’t the first wave of Super7 Ultimates figures based on the classic Playmates toy designs? I wonder why they stopped doing that.
>>11713263Correct, and if Mattel wanted they could make a 6 or 7 inch adult line just like Super7, because Playmates can no longer complain. I would suggest anyone who has Ultimates to hold onto them, because Mattel would more than likely do an adult line at a similar scale. I would find it unlikely that Mattel does large vehicles like the Party Wagon at that scale. Although in Origins they did deliberately make some vehicles roomy enough to work with Masterverse.
Better pics from Toyark:>Toy Fair 2026 – Playmates Toys TMNT, TMNT x Godzilla, and TMNT x G.I. Joehttps://www.toyark.com/2026/02/15/toy-fair-2026-playmates-toys-tmnt-tmnt-x-godzilla-and-tmnt-x-g-i-joe-583306Man, I hope I find the 2012 re-issues before they end production, new packaging rocks.
>>11713283Chronicles figures are 6.5 inches and so are K-Pop Demon Hunters and most likely 2027 DC collector figures so I'm 100% sure that's the scale TMNT collector figures will have. I'm more curious and excited for the kids line, I think the Mutant Mayhem era figures were great and Playmates really tried to keep them at an affordable price point so I'm curious how much will prices increase under Mattel since they probably also pay a bigger fee to Paramount because Skydance wants money.
>TMNT Origins relies on vintage Playmates synergy.>The Toxic Crusaders line was supposed to be parallel to the vintage Turtles line.>YFW Paramount and Mattel manage to convince Troma to do a TX collab.
>>11713316>TXShit I meant TC.
>>11713240You keep flapping your gums but nothing intelligent is coming out.
>>11713316Speaking of, Trick or Treat Studio revealed progress on their Toxic Crusaders line. Yvonne was shown unpainted before, and famously got released as an April O'Neil figure in the Turtles line. Now we get to see a more finalized figure. Melvin is the new one, and he comes with snap on armor pieces that turn him into Toxie. Their priority looks to be geared towards making unproductive figures.
Seriously disappointed at NECA this year.
>>11713352Why?
>>11713383More dumb cartoon choices and only ONE Archie toy
>>11713387>2012>dumb choicesOk.
>>1171339287 cartoon I mean.
>>11713392I hate anything that isn't 87, and people only like 2012 because of jailbait April.
That world of TMNT branding seems awesome, too bad it amounts to nothing. Honestly i'm disappointed at Playmates final offerings, not much for me. Some of the crossover sculpts are good but I'm not into crossover figures so there's literally nothing for me to get excited. I'll miss playmates. Don't have much hope for Mattel but I'll judge when we see stuff at next years Toy Fair.>>11713286
>>11713414I wonder if Mattel will keep the branding.
>>11713416The World of TMNT branding seems to be franchise-wide, so undoubtedly Paramount is going to want Mattel to use it
>>11713387>dumb cartoon choicesYou sound like a retard the more you post.
>>11713393Oh okay, yeah, thanks for clarifying. You're definitely a retard.
>>11713440>>11713443There are still tons of characters they could do (like from the Red Sky seasons), but instead we get the turtles in outfits they wore for like, two scenes in one episode tops.
>>11713445I'm drawing a blank. What are some good characters they haven't done yet? Seems like they've done a buttload.
>>11713445My dude, this isn't even showing off the whole year. They're good costume variants. Distinct ones. You're being a baby.
>>11713416They will, Paramount even made a site for it and even Lego uses it. It will be mandated by Paramount. So get used to it, its like when Hasbro created Generations for Transformers and Authentic branding.
>>11713482I guess I'm just bummed at the lack of Archie. Thats like, my favorite TMNT universe, and theres so, so many good characters to get toys in it.>>11713480Dregg. Mung. Hi Tech. Megavolt. Medusa. The Cyber Turtles. The secondary mutations turtles.
>>11712918convenient carrying handle for pup.>>11713017They look like bad customs.
>>11713176yeah this is a lateral move.>>11713263hopefully super7 can continue now.>>11713283I guess as long as they're to scale, i wouldn't hate mattel ones, even though they wouldn't be as good.. they'd surely cost half as much
>>11713344The original yvonne mold was repurposed into street whore Ravishing Reporter April.
>>11713421>>11713485Oh, I thought it had been made by Playmates to sell random stuff from their past catalog. So, I guess any legacy merchandise not based off the newest interpretations will just be called world of TMNT?
>>11713511Its being used for new Mutant Mayhem toys too.
>>11713511Everything will use it, even the GIJoe crossover boxes having the logo under a corner. Paramount wants to unify if you will the brand.
>>11712908The turtle fly is the coolest vehicle that's been made this decade
>>11713156I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure those blindbagged vehicles are reissues from the 2012 line
>>11712916Roughly what scale are these? The 5" TMNT or one of the other sizes? >>11712908Please let the Dragonfly for He-man Origins. I want to stick Sgt Slaughter and crossover Origins Leo together for missions.
>>11713535You are 1000% right
>>11713344I really hope they make the dick tracy car someday
>>11713537Take a guess>An all-new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x G.I. Joe crossover line pairs characters from both franchises in reimagined 4.5-inch figures. The assortment includes Leonardo X Snake Eyes, Donatello X Dial-Tone, Michelangelo X Shipwreck, Raphael X Roadblock, Shredder X Cobra Commander, Krang X Destro, Slash X Storm Shadow, Bebop X Ripper, Rocksteady X Buzzer, and April X Scarlett. The line also features two vehicles, the Turtle-Fly Copter and the A.W.E. Shell-Striker, with products arriving exclusively at Target beginning in August. Figures are priced at $15.99 for ages 4 and up, while vehicles feature spinning blades, missile-firing functions, and figure compatibility.
>>11713091Going off MOTU as precedent>playmates/spinmasters-esque budget action figure line with limited articulation (8 to 12 poa)>6" ML/Masterverse collector oriented line that covers more of the turtles legacy stuff (super mutation, 2003, fast forward, basically anything neca hasnt already gotten to)>handful of blindbag lines >as many turtle vans as batmobiles>a few playsetsAs for crossover I expect to see DC × MOTU alongside TMNT × Street Sharks come 2027. Maybe they can do another Turtles/Batman line in 2028 to coninside with the next batman movie.
>>11713573>>6" ML/Masterverse collector oriented line that covers more of the turtles legacy stuff (super mutation, 2003, fast forward, basically anything neca hasnt already gotten to)Along with figures with original designs but have pieces to make "default" versions of the characters a la New Eternia.
>>11713405>moonface aprilyeah nah i don't think anyone is clamoring for her either
>>11713636Wrong again
>>11713344shit, super7 was working on this..oh well
>>11713527it's weird to see a vehicle that isn't massively undersized>>11713636seriously who the fuck thought that was an okay design? and she's one of the BETTER ones from that show.
>>11713573Street Sharks is not happening
>>11713668>seriously who the fuck thought that was an okay design?Someone who isn't an autistic/co/ poster.
>>11713698At the very least Mattel might pull a Sun-Man and have them "guest star" in the TMNT Origins line.Maybe even have them released alongside similar characters IE Ripster in a wave with Ray Fillet or Armaggon, if Extreme Dinosaurs is used, T-Bone in a wave with a Triceraton.
>>11713702pretty sure autists are the ones thinking ugly designs look okayat least, that describes all the people who commission me. good lord some of these european cartoons...
>>11713732Nobody commissions you, autist.
>>11713735awesome, not paying tax on this income then.
>>11713614Bingo.I also should have noted we should expect to see more TMNT vehicles show up in Hot Wheels. Just like Batmobiles have been a staple of the line for the last 20 odd years so too will shellraisers, party wagons, turtle blimps, etc be aswell.>>11713698We're already getting promo shots for the comic. You're an airhead if you think they wont try to have the turtles piggyback the street sharks/extreme dinosaurs.
>>11713805Sorry dipshit, comics aren't toys, Street Sharks is not going to happen.
>>11713830Anon, show us on the doll where Street Sharks touched you.
>>11713805>We're already getting promo shots for the comic.Where?
>>11713999My ass. Want to see?
>>11712926>>11712925>>11712921So which of these will get canceled?
