TMNT (teenage mutant ninja turtles)

[ironwez20]

ok but why would anyone step into this territory when neca did such a good job? it'd be very hard to beat them unless it's a different scale. even prime 1 failed.

I mean yea but that doesn’t mean others can try. Prime 1 was stupid cause they used secret of the ooze sculpts. Also we don’t have 1/6th scale. Not to mention it’s harder to get the smaller scale over the larger scale .

The animated look does not work on those bodies. I'm guessing Mirage is next.

The first release was pretty much a mirage set anyways just without the red bandana so we might not get it tbh

Never bet against a company wanting to get reuse out of unique molds. All they need is red bandanas and to throw in a couple mousers and people will buy.

In all honesty you’re not wrong. I’ll definitely pick that set up if they do release it but I’m still not sure with the cartoon set. I’m just glad I got the first set and I still have it sealed in the box like most of the rest of my collection because I’m a boring collector

Debating if I should get this or wait for NECA Ultimate releases. The latter, if priced at $50 each, will be cheaper by $200?

If I'm not mistaken - the "Pizza Club" turtles are the ultimate versions.

You're correct. I just found that out yesterday. My mistake.

Apparently the new Mezco set is an exclusive piece not being sold at other retailers. I wonder how true that is

 

[Luisenigma1]

Suprised they dropped the cartoon versions. I prefer the og set (though I sold it already) but if anyone wants a set this looks good.

 

[Angelo2113]

The set is wait listed.

Mondo's Instagram is teasing some TMNT stuff for Monday. Looks like cartoon turtles, Photo has the 'soft vinyl' tag on it, so I'm assuming some sort of non-articulated vinyl figure. I'm not getting my hopes up, but 1/6 cartoon turtles would be ah-MAZE-ing.

Though I am kinda tickled when everyone was 'doom and gloom' about Mondo back when Funko acquired them. Presumably, since Funko is a much bigger company they have wider licensing contacts and maybe were able to talk to the right people to finagle their way into a 1/6 license.

It might be these, they were shown at a con.

Well, good for the people that collect super-deformed soft vinyl stuff. I'm sure it will be a hit with those folks.

 

[budafett]

Pass on those!

 

[ironwez20]

Ugh those are hideous. Why tease that lol

 

[SwedishHeat]

Yeah, @K1LLJOY was right


But good news, it's an open edition, so they should be available for anyone that wants a set.

 

[cbulas1]

I think they look pretty cool and I appreciate how they have similar proportions/design of the original Playmates line, but ultimately they're not for me.

 

[budafett]

Just need the regular painted Shredder and some Mousers…

 

[ironwez20]

Def not for me either. But they do have that 90s flare

 

[Darth Meda]

Did anyone PO the new Mezco TMNT animated set?

 

[Furyan]

I am willing to open whatever social media accounts I need to in order to spam aka consistently encourage these 1/6 companies to make the original movie turtles in 1/6. What companies would to a great job and who's with me lol.
