Sideshow Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Statues

So apparently someone had a phone conversation with SS support and they said this line is 1/6, not 1/5. It this is true I'm very likely to cancel the whole set.

If you have a whole set of EX you will make some people very happy waiting for conversions ... but if you took a look at the size comparisons and read the dimensions you should already have an idea of what to expect?

These are a little smaller then the old school com's.

These were on display at CC and they had been confirmed 1/5th I thought.

 

[choopie]

From what I remember reading from Sideshow, these are smaller than 1/5, more closer to 1/6 in size.

 

[egel]

Guess we will have to wait for inhand pictures. Still, if they are a little smaller than full 1/5 scale it might be easier to display the full set.

I'm no scale expert, and I know this measurement also takes the base into account, but he looks closer to 1/5 to me. Consider the fact he's hunched over, one knee on the base, the other knee at a 90 degree angle. Just my opinion.

I do have the whole EX set POed. Leo almost paid for. And although they indeed look smaller than the old comiquettes, SS had said somewhere a while ago they were still 1/5 scale. If it's something inbetween then I should rethink whether I'm keeping this set :/

Plus the turtles are shorter than men, so at 1/5 scale they should be on the small side.

 

[thepurist]

Guys, it SHOULD be 1/5 as everyone believes and stated previously by Sideshow. The thing is, Sideshow is now saying they are 1/6.

 

[Hemooo]

Igo said it's 1/5ish, I guess it's between 1/6 & 1/5 obviously smaller than the comiquettes. The scale was never confirmed on their website. I dont understand why didnt they make it true 1/5 scale to begin with.

 

[slynger]

At the direction SS is going these days, it's highly likely they don't even know what scale they made these in.

 

[Iam_Dabatman]

Given nobody knows the life size of these turtles, Sideshow can actually say whatever they want as far as the scale goes.

 

[slynger]

If one wants to really have a good argument - it could be argued that these are, in fact, life size turtles that made little weapons for themselves and learned to walk upright. SS says we're getting 1/6, I say we're getting life-sized. I'm right, SS is wrong. Game over. Moving on.

 

[KingB]

These will be epic. Period

They should be 5' 8" ish life size

This. 100% this. All I care about.

Last flex pay on Leonardo got delayed until 6/25

 

[spidey42005]

Strange, it's going to ship the same day as the 90's TMNT set. 5 statues all at once will hit me if that is the case !

That would be crazy, but if that's the case I would be in the same situation.

Last flex pay on Leonardo got delayed until 6/25

I can't remember, but do FlexPay orders ship out on the same day as one-time pay customers or is there a delay?

Basically, I'm wanting to know if I should pay off the items early to get them in-hand quicker. That way if I have a QC problem, I can file quicker.

 

[Punchy]

I tried flexpay once and my statue did ship later since the last payment was scheduled after the item started shipping. Maybe a week later than the full payers.
