TMNT (teenage mutant ninja turtles)

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Nice pickup!

You ever see the video of when a guy gets his tmnt #1 first print sent to cgc to ge graded, gets its back, cracks it open, and it's not a first printing(they basically stole the first print)?

Why did the guy open it though? Isn't the whole point of having it graded and put in a box is to leave it in there, sealed. Why would he open it?

this is from the guys description under the youtube vid-

"I've been cracking a few PGX cases open to get them regraded at CGC because of auction price differences on particular issues. I always document cracking slabs open...* "- FroComb

Seems like he used pgx as a guide to what cgc would grade it
Pgx didn't even put a sheet under the cover page

Lol @ pgx's response, "are you sure you sent us a first printing"
Then pgx grades it as a first printing

Ouch lol. I was thinking of getting of my hulk 181 graded by pgx but.....nope

Just got the Classic Turtles for $8 each new, was thinking about the Figuarts but since the price is like 10% of it i think i'll just keep the classic and look at pics of them Bandais once they come out.

How big are the Figuarts? Website says they stand around 14cm, but what i recall is Figuarts figures are tiny, about size of Figmas? The Classic Turtles stands around 15cm but looks much bigger.

 

[Articulation Junkie]

Figuarts r typically 6inch or 16cm. Figmas r about 4.5 to 6inch. (Depends on the character)

With the amount of switch out options on the Figmas, I kinda wish they would include a white eyes switch out option, like how the original 80s toys had those evil white eyes, that's how I like my turtles.

but there aren't any Figma Turtles right?

BTW if Figurarts are 16cm, that means they are way bigger than Vintage Turtles? Since Classic Turtles are 15cm, and Classic are taller than Vintage. But Figurarts feel small. But Turtles are bulky, so that means they are as big as the Classics?

Apparently the Movie figures will be "re"released as a Wallmart Excl.

Would any of you guys be willing to help a fellow European collector to get these? If these are the supposed 20 each, Id be willing to pay you 100 for all 4 + shipping. So if you go to Wallmart to get a set for yourself, you could save a little money by catching a second set for me.

 

[Shawpaw]

I can look for them. The only thing I want out of the new movie Turtles is that broken ooze canister to customize

[BurningRage]

These look kinda cool

 

[Shawpaw]

I've never been crazy about deformed figures. Look good but not for me

 

[Aliaz]

I think they look good. Not for me but depending on price I might get some for my GF's nephew, he loves TMNT.

they aren't deformed, just younger version of them turtles.

have they been released? price wise i know they are steep.

 

[Shawpaw]

They deformed. Look at that giant head. I like proportionate collectibles better than bobbles and this stuff. Thats what I was referring to.
