Does anyone know if Playmates will re-release the classic figures again?

Each TRU in my area only received one case (or shelving unit) and there was only three or four sets per case.
 
These guys really pose well. Glad I deshelled them. I think they look great on display.
I don't think we will see more classics like these, which are simply the best classic releases we have ever had.
 
I actually like the new Nick Toon turtles better than the Classics. The sculpts for the 2012 Nick TMNT are just amazing.
 
I agree with CloudN. The classics have incredible articulation, but the sculpts on the Nick Turtles are incredible.

Can't really go wrong with either line, though.
 
I found Metalhead, Dogpound and Fishface at my local Walmart today. I really like Metalhead, but the other 2 are just ok.

I just realized that my Metalhead is an error. Look at the back of the card, the pic of Mikey, it is a pic of Raphael. I am curious how many were produced with that error?
 
About to preorder these, so my dad can get em all from forbidden planet in the UK. Me thinks that I'll just rip up the packs and get a shelf sorted for these guys, or even that huge playset.
 
I really enjoyed it, Furyan. It's a bit silly according to some, but it is a show aimed at young kids, so you have to take what you can get. All I know is that I'm going to be watching every Saturday morning, and I haven't done that since the 80s. :)
 
Digging these new turtle figures. Havent caught the new show yet. To anybody whos seen it,any good?

I saw it. As mentioned, it's very geared towards kids - by comparison, the '07 movie was more serious in tone, for example. The Turtles in this cartoon definitely feel like the youngest Turtles I've seen.
 
I thought the show did a great job of straddling that line of being for kids and still for the older adult fans. It is absolutely worth watching and will have you wanting to tune back in.

They didn't pull punches like having Splinter's family and child being killed by Shredder. Snake's mutation was also pretty cool.
