Ladies and gents we are in a lull at the moment! The NECA Haulathon figures are in Targets now and all are up for preorder on your e-tailer of choice....Including Toon Robo Tokka and Rahzar. Which is an interesting change in things. Is toon Turtles no longer exclusive or is it just this pack?Bryond that, tons of preorders for product from various companies. We're just waiting for new toys and news on the license.Con season will maybe give us a glimpse...
>>11764454I couldn't find the Sakai stuff at Target
great, now I get to sit here as 3 tmnt threads have zero posts instead of one.
>>11764462They sold pretty fast. People had trouble finding Donatello for some reason. I guess I got lucky at mine. Found everything at one time.
>>11764497maybe viacom put their foot down about this exclusivity bullshit
>>11764529if there's two things fucking everything up, it's exclusivity and inclusiveness.
>>11764666so sadI hope they are just pivoting back to playmates-style shit. whether because they can again, or because they realized there's at least 4 or 5 waves of "playmates cant say shit about this" including:>robot Tokka and Rahzar>Atilla and Rasputin>Mona Lisa (that looks more like the cartoon instead of having creepy Barbie eyes)>original fun variant ideas like Football Shredder or April the Undercover Reporter>Karai: but good this time>the unique bosses from the arcade gameand all the others whom we discussed would easily get around the embargo for various reasons.
>>11764666To be fair I stopped collecting the Neca figures and they seem to be shelf warming every time I hit Target. I only collect the Playmates reissues.
>>11764690Noticed this as well.
>>11764666Why are they limiting the head packs so severely anyway? That doesn't make sense. Sure it forces someone's hand to buy if they can't help themselves, but it creates an intentional hole in collections.
>>11765131The head packs are bullshit to begin with; S7 should just be able to lower prices on their own site by a couple bucks to make that the incentive to order through them. If they were cheaper than other retailers people would order through them in the first place.
>>11765153retailers wouldn't appreciate that
>>11765233and as a customer i don't want to be nickel and dimed for exclusive bullshit, guess neither get my money
>>11765304indeed. they're gonna need to learn soon that most of them are redundant. just like we do.unless we quickly switch to a 5-10 hour work week, we're fucked, there just isn't that much work.
>>11765233Are we talking about the same retailers that are currently planning to scale back their toy sections?Too bad.
>>11765409I'm not saying I find that hard to believe, I just find it hard to believe you're aware of it. You don't release shit like that publicly.
Man, Tiger Claw is awesome. Half hoping we get the cult leader look as an exclusive or something.
>>11765517the proportions and shapes don't bug you, huh?
>>11765529Nah I don't care how fat you are, just don't be an asshole.
>>11765517Tempted to get a second one just to have both looks. They really need to keep doing blast effects.
>>11765533if anything he seems pretty scrawny around the shoulders and thighs, and has like, no abdomen.but overall for a 2012 design, this aint bad.
>>11765544I mean, yeah, that's his design.
>>11765547I wasn't judging the figure for its screen accuracy, I'm judging the show design
>>11765548That's certainly fair and all, when the show was first coming out the look of the show wasn't jiving with me. But once I got into it, I liked it and appreciate how well it stands out.That first wave of playmates figures was great though. Splinter sucked, but still. I remember pulling the case off the truck at TRU and checking them all out. That was back when they sent casesof like, 24? It was a lot.
>>11765552yeah the original playmates designs where they apparently just had a rough idea how the show would work, those were nice. I was optimistic.
