Walmart will be offering 2 packs of the GI Joe Turtles. Thankfully no battle scratches also $30.
>>11798614why do all these companies insist on dropping $300 sets out of nowhere with no warning? fuck this hobby
Mystic Mashima
Daimyo Orkai and Raptor
Armored Savanti Romero
2012 Metalhead, Splinter, and Casey Jones all going up for order today.
>>11798614When is battle damaged remastered raph vs rocksteady going to be available again? Jeff bezos should be flogged for amazon not having enough stock before of the two pack.
>>11798614aside from the weird extra upper chevron piece on the plastrons, these look fantastic. perfect union of comic and movie.
>>11798653I hate it when companies sell us the same toy in a multipack. im glad Playmates is losing
>>11798638>>11798639These are some really odd picks… I mean was anyone asking for these?
>>11798859They complete or add to sets of already released figures.
>>11798859the mirage guys are kinda low on villains, since they didn't go nuts with mutants and what have you, so..
>go to NECA's site>a "join our newsletter!" pop up appears>this is the image they use for itI'm dying
Say, up in Harlem at a table for twoThere were three of us: me, your big head, and youFrom your neck down, I'll say you sure are well-bredFrom there up, there's just too much head>ohhh ya head's too big>don't wantcha cuz ya head's too big>can't scale because ya head's too big>I really hate ya cuz ya head's too bigNow April, she likes you, she thinks you're in orderGot what it takes to be a reporterShe had some work done, what the heck?Man oh man now she's got too much neck>oh ya neck's too long>mad at ya cuz ya neck's too long>cheaped out and so ya neck's too long>I hate ya cuz ya neck's too longOh they were just tryin' to make you tallerBut your shoulders is lower than your collar.To me, you look like a giraffeUltimate? It's the ultimate gaffe.
>>11799084>>11799101Fuck off troll
>>11798619Ooophhhh, if that's the deal and I can find them, then I'll do that. Right now I've just got the bad guys on pre order, just like I did with turtles of greyskull. I just like the bad guys and there mutants more than the turtles, been that way since I was a kid.
>>11798619Destro Krang is the best, the other dudes can't even compare.
>>11799131It doesn't help that the turtles are boring as fuck in this shitty crossover.
>>11799140I think Leo looks alright, but by and large the whole thing seems a bit half baked.
>>11799114son I buy neca and super7, I just like doing blues song parodies.actually does someone have like control art for the old cartoon? I'd like to compare it to the neca toon line, and show how their basic fuckup was making the turtles too big. that meant they were stuck either making more and more expensive figures, or.. fudging the scale. Super7 did the former, and it cost them.
>>11799182Shut the fuck up, nobody wants your trash ass trolling.
>>11799182>meant they were stuck either making more and more expensive figuresThat isn't how that works. >fudging the scaleFucktard, the whole line has to fudge scale because it changed all the time in the episodes. Kys git.>Super7 did the former, and it cost them.Not why they did what they did. You are an idiot.
>>11799186How do you know I'm not right? Super7 seemed to care a lot about scale, they would say stuff like 'this guy needs to be really big' or 'this guy was a '5th turtle' to me, so I made him the same size as them' etc.they even beefed up the party wagon after its initial showing, so it'd be properly roomy for guests. Man, it's weird knowing I could have waited and bought that now, instead of the coronawagon, for the same price now that it's so discounted. but... aside from the interior, and the engine detailing and shit, I just don't like it as much. Too round, guns aren't as cool.
>>11799182
>>11799188>Super7 seemed to care a lot about scaleNo, they didn't. You're just showing how very little you know about everything every time you open your trap.
>>11799193I'm not that anon, but Super 7 clearly took scale more seriously than the neca toon line.
>>11799193so i just made up that stuff I said
>>11799195You are full of shit if you think that's true. How can you even say something that fucking stupid?
>>11799140I think shipwreck looks great honestly, just remove the idea of a gi Joe crossover and it could slide right in with a vintage playmates wave. I get dial tone don and think it's funny but I like gi Joe dial tone. Roadblock Ralph just looks like Ralph is wearing roadblocks gear, and I mean snake eyes leo is snake eyes leo. They look better than that motu transformers cross over meds. It's off topic but that was when I decided to stop collecting origins.
>>11799195Get the fuck out of here
>>11799195at the very least, Neca suffered more from NOT sticking to scale, and Super7 suffered more from sticking to scale.
>>11799214NECA stuck to a scale. What are you talking about? You people are dumbasses.
>>11799227eh yknow i'm looking at control art and maybe I'm wrong. I'd have to see the neca figures again, but I don't think they're that far off from this after all.
>>11799248in particular, I forgot how small bebop and rocksteady were
>>11799249and maybe shredder isn't off either. Iunno. someone post toy pics if I'm wrong.
>>11799186>it changed all the time in the episodesyou do kinda have a point. Hell, Bugman looks three different heights here, even taking into account the hunched pose.
>>11799252Im surprised we haven't gotten these turtle variants yet. I swear I saw this disguise more than the others in show.
>>11798614I wrote this in the other thread right before the new thread was madePreviously the amazon page had the "currently unavailable" text in red font but after they put more of the two pack up (and amazon wouldnt let my purchase it like the incompetent faggots they are) the "currently unavailable" text turned to grey. Is that significant or does that mean anything?
>>11799250Seems pretty close. Shredder and the foot soldiers are about a head taller than the turtles. Krang is big.
This truck from the 2000s series was my favorite toy
>>11798614Guess we are getting foot soldiers soon too, they’re in the promo.
>>11799375yeah maybe i'm wrong. I could have sworn I compared them before and-well part of it is that Shredder and Foot soldier aren't as bulky as they are in that animation model, but meh. the show varied a lot.I'm still tempted to get the neca Bugman from time to time, even if just to pop his head onto a slightly larger buck. they kinda gave him a big head and smaller body compared to the cartoon, but roughly the correct size. so I could put him on the super7 shelf if I had an appropriate body.. but.. that's real hard. everyone just advises 'buy some cheap thrift store figures or something to customize, you'll find one in the right size eventually' but I am pooor.
>>11799694I do like how they tried to give them a really solidly cool vehicle this time, and an armored bank truck is obviously turtle-appropriate, but somehow it just never seemed that fun.I often wonder about what I'd do if I was like, tasked with making something roughly like the original movie, but expanded into a show that needs to have vehicles and shit.. you'd wanna be a little more grounded, but at the same time.. definitely load that sucker up with miniguns. 90s New York was ROUGH.
Now that we have Apocalypse Now Raph, what other New Hollywood collabs are you looking forward to? Mikey as The Long Goodbye's Phillip Marlowe? Leo as Jack Nicholson from Five Easy Pieces? Donny as Gene Hackman from The Conversation? Casey Jones and April 2 pack from Badlands?
>>11799249Rocksteady a manlet?
>>11798648I don't know this series but that's a pretty sweet design
>>11800098Fuck off. Not even remotely clever.
>>11800100Was not memeing, genuinely didn't know. There's so many crossovers it's not out of the realm of possibility. Sorry!
>>11800090which part do you like better, the hypothyroid face, or the way his arms were drawn with MS Paint line tools?
>>11800104it's not a bad idea, and it's pretty clever. The main clue it's not real is that there's no current line that looks like this (looks like 2k3) and also that his plastron extends up into a turtleneck (heh)
>>11800142>and it's pretty clever.No it's not
>>11800137Maybe try to sound less like a bitter diaper wearing baby.
>>11800083Krang as Marlon Brando in The Island of Dr Moreau.
>>11798648>no alt hands with glovesI guess they will come in a future reissue or an accessory pack. Hopefully it wont only be included with a black and white repaint cashgrab 4 pack like the other 2012 accessory pack.
>>11800169That wasn't a cashgrab. At all.
>>11800145I was going for 'cranky old man who probably will need diapers again soon'In my day, cartoons had this thing called 'anatomy.' It was how we knew we had it better than in our parents' day, when Hanna-Barbera roamed the earth.
>>11799139The android body itself is pretty cool, but has Krang himself ever looked so "wad of used gum"-shaped before? I get it's so he fits in the chest cavity, but even then, couldn't they have made it just a smidge taller so he doesn't look so smushed?
>>11800280not without adding one more piece to the mold. anything concave gets really complicated to mold.
>>11800280oh wait, for some reason I thought you meant make it taller on the inside, but keep the 'door' sizeyou didn't actually say that. Yeah I guess they could have made the 'microwave' bigger on the whole. but it would have swallowed up part of that magnificent collar.
Will Mattel give the turtles their own specific lines or will they get dumped into the DC ones due to the Paramount/WB merger likely dropping them into the DCU?
>>11800497>or will they get dumped into the DC ones due to the Paramount/WB merger likely dropping them into the DCU?Things that will never happen.
