So the old thread got nuked because of Mattel leak? Crazy

Mattel bros keep winning

>>11693107
Why did the old thread archive so fast???

What did I miss??

How about that Mattel leak????

This is going to be an awesome year!!!

>>11693113
Someone leaked a blurry photo of a Mattel turtle prototype

So, how come Mattel didn't announce they got the license at Nuremberg? Will they announce it at NYTF?

>>11693121
They likely won’t announce it until later this yeah because playmates still has it until 2027 iirc

>>11693107

Holy fucking shit, Mattel might have won

Ok, does this mean the TMNT x GIJoe crossover ain't happening?

>>11693119
No they didn't. You're spreading false information.

>>11693118
The one that didn't happen? There was no leak.

>>11693127
>>11693128
Explain what happened to the gen then

>>11693126
It’s already on the way

>>11693129
Some trash got taken out and the easiest answer was to take out the thread.

Seriously, you are so gullible. There's no evidence a leak anywhere on the net. Stop believing 4chan tards that just say things.

I personally say it
Some other anon started claiming it was a Mattel prototype. The original post was just a picture with the shh emoji on it or whatever the fuck it’s called

>>11693123
This

I assume the thread got nuked due to the bickering. As if that will fix the issue.

>>11693139
That doesn’t even make sense

>>11693132
You didn't see anything. Why even lie like that? A real leak would be ALL over Twitter and other toy sites.

>>11693142
There were 50 posts in a row of necanon going back and forth with the genius who thinks he's helping by going post for post with a schizo. Then the thread disappeared. I agree it doesn't make a lot of sense.

Why didn't gijoe x tmnt leak nuke the gen but mattel leak did it? Why can't I find the mattel leak?

Its alien photo all over again...

I don’t know about that. Toy Habits was going to cover the MOTU movie leak last night but had to change their thumbnail cause Mattel reached out to them and asked not to cover anything that has not been released. They also said they got a bunch of other amazing info that they can not share yet.

I did save the pic before the thread got nuked. If it happens again, it’s been nice knowing you all except the NECA psycho troon. The Chinaman from Ramen said there were guards in front of the Mattel area and you were not getting in there with out an appointment.

>>11693159
HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Someone send this to r#ddit now

>>11693159
Nice AI image. You're so predictable.

>>11693154
Because you're being lied to. There was no leak.

>>11693162
Looks real to me

>>11693168
Yeah, because you're dumb. Mattel is likely getting TMNT because there's literally no other company willing to pay Ellison's BS fee, but you're a damn fool if you think that's real.

There's zero talk about it anywhere.

I don’t see the Gemini or Sora mark on it like those MOTU Thundercats ones.

Also if it was an ai they’d make perfectly clear. This has that tried to sneak it look to it. The old no photos leaks from Wonderfest were all like this for a while.

>>11693173
Cope harder man, that isn't real.

>>11693159
Well poisoning
The real image was an unpainted prototype. It is common knowledge Mattel does have guards at toy fairs.

Anon no!! I hope you’re behind a vpn so Mattel doesn’t send their goons after you now, this wasn’t worth being disappeared for.

came here just to say fuck playmates, again

idc if matty gets it or not, I just want some kid toys that have a fucking ankle rocker.

Mattel got turtles?

>>11693215
No, zero confirmation

>>11693227
That's not real numbnuts

I don't give a shit either way. Turtles of grayskull is enough to give us the gist of what Mattel TMNT will look like. Better than Playmates, worse than more expensive stuff.

Agreed. But metal stands in this case are necessary to hold the heft up. Luckily they are sturdy enough to not need them

>>11693159
Funny how there's not a single mention of this online anywhere. Not even Twitter. Even if the image wasn't reposted, people would be talking.

Fake, as, fuck.

Fwiw, Mattel is literally down the street from Playmates. They could make a very smooth transition

>>11693107
didnt think it was necessary to link this in the previous thread, eh?

>>11693159
looks more like 2007 movie
>>11693704
oh I see, nevermind.

>>11693675
You think they hang out on lunch and trade toys or whatever?

>>11693716
it means when playmates used the ex-mattel sculptors for TMNT, they didn't have to walk far
though.. uh, what? pretty sure playmates is in taiwan. the americans who designed the toys did so remotely.

>>11693789
Right, Playmates dosent have a United States headquarters…uh what? Both their USA HQs are in El Segundo, CA. Less than 1 mile apart. You were being facetious but yes it’s literally walking distance

>>11693912
that's weird

>>11693789
Mark Taylor went to Playmates after MOTU. He’s probably why the early TMNT line was so fucking good.

I just hope Mattel's TMNT Origins doesn't suffer from mostly shit distribution to the point of getting hijacked by the shows and everyone else being dumped online like with MOTUO.

>>11694085
Mattel has prioritized fixing retail distribution but it remains to be seen if shipping routes are disrupted. If you don’t get your toys on time this year it’s 100% trump’s fault.

>>11693618
That's one of the best parts of that line, every single one has HEFT. I love the battery powered gatling spin, it's very extra

Heatboys TMNT mechs. astoundingly, a licensed product. Very derivative of Gundam in a good way.

>>11694657
The only part of ToG that had awful distribution were the retailer exclusives. Mainly the Walmart ones. The Target ones didn't have perfect distribution, but it was a million times better than Walmart. I'm still waiting for the container full of Merman that never made it to stores to start showing up at Ross or Ollie's.

>>11694816

Maybe for you. The exclusives were the only things I ever saw, aside from that one wave with Mikey and Teela that would just not go away.

But I too really want that Merman.

>>11694881
i'd buy him if he were slightly scaled up to fit super7 guys.. i'm kinda tempted anyway.

Kek
Even with everything on his back, Raph will not budge.
My only nitpick is no storage for the longer pole.

If Mattel does get the license, would TMNT Origins use original designs akin to stuff like Fortnite, Joytoy and Magic or be based mostly on vintage Playmates synergy despite Mattel not owning the original designs?

>>11693173
>>11693178
What happen to that fake Joe crossover anyway?

>>11695324
It was real, and shown off back in September of 2025 before Playmates got the news they weren't keeping the license. So it's veeeeery likely those won't even happen. Or if they do, you'll just get the one wave and none of the concept art figures in the image.

So we get a world of tmnt theme? Will mattel (or whoever gets the license but for real it will be mattel) use this branding for their toys? World of TMNT? Is this like all TMNT versions in one?

>>11695442
The name does reek of corporate retardation speak, so that could be.

>>11695442
Playmates already is.

>>11695421
It's like a funko pop but somehow worse.

>>11695321
I mean, movie-tv synergy is great.. just.. yknow, these are bad.
It's like how Red Sky tried to tie in better with the movies, even adapting part of the intended plot for movie 4, but they failed to actually .. be good.

>>11695421
huh, whose colors are these? the recent one? looks a little like 2k3 but with the saturation rammed up.

>>11696144
Probably better asked in the neca thread. I own both of these. Demonsa top is not removable. And Elvira is pretty basic of a body. It doesn't look that great unclothed

>>11696144
I don't think you can say 'neca figures' are a particular size. they have a bunch of different lines, even within TMNT the movie line is not in scale with the cartoon line. I mean look at this, you've posted these two and they sure don't match, assuming you posted them to scale with each other.

I can tell you Demona-chan is about 7.5 inches tall on her big ol dino legs, and while her top is not an INTENTIONALLY removable piece, I do believe it's a separate piece glued onto the 'buck' as they say. quite possibly removable with a lot of work put in.

>>11696147

btw if anyone DOES know good bare-type lady figures that could possibly be customized into a proper super7 Ninja Newscaster April? I loved that figure as a kid, it was neat seeing the usually meek April actually look like she could kick some ass. and I liked that 2k3 kinda had fun with that too one time.

I'm looking at maybe Super7 Thundercats ones, they have some girls that seem in scale and their clothes look decently removable/alterable

>>11696165
Maybe get a MOTU Origins figure.

>>11696198
are those that size? and did they have any suitable female characters?

They use the 80s Turtles art, but don't seem to match the colors of the 80s toyline. Let's see what Lego's Pick A Brick has. I think they have Leo using Dark Green and Raph using Light Green, but maybe he should had gotten the Light Yellowish Green instead for better contrast. Mikey got the Bright Bluish Green which is kinda close, though reminds me more of Slash. Not sure why Donnie isn't Olive Green, other than it being a less produced color based on that number.

>>11696236
are we sure this isn't rogenturtles colors? or maybe Rise?
>olive
he's only been olive in 2k3.. in the old toyline he was shit brown. that, combined with his mask being indigo rather than violet (leaving leo with that beautiful bright sky blue) gave him a super unique look that I've always loved.

promise you any TMNT product I got to do, unless it was trying to be like the movies, I'd use the old toy colors.

If that's considered shit brown, then I think you need to see a doctor. Olive Green is what Lego calls the color. But looking at the actual Olive Green color it's much brighter and greener.
https://brickset.com/colours/family-Green
Donnie is really hard to match in Lego colors. Looking at browns I found one... Brown. Unfortunately it's been discontinued since 2007. So maybe Medium Brown would be closer to that.

this figure has yellowed over time. you can see how the soft head is a slightly different hue, and his left side is also less greenified than his right.
Look earlier in this thread and you'll see playmates' remade one where he is downright CHOCOLATE brown, because they fucked up the red-balance (same reason their raph is such pale, jade green)
Super7 nailed it. he's brown, but not quite chocolate brown. The hint of bilrubin tints it slightly green, making it shit brown. and it looks good on him. very turtly while still being way different from his brothers

leonardo on the other hand is what I would call olive green. that is, the color of green olives. I realize there's about a thousand varieties and ways of treating olives, so it's possible I have this terminology slightly off. after all, people say 'olive-skinned' when they sure as fuck don't mean you're green. but i think 'olive' on its own is different from 'olive green'

in any case anon, olive you.

>>11696392

I appreciate someone who can speak to colouration well, thanks anon.

This is why I hope Mattel gets the license. I hope they get it so the bigger characters will be big and bulky.

If Mattel gets the license decides to pull a Sun-Man in TMNT Origins, would the Street Sharks/Extreme Dinosaurs have to be heavily modified to fit in a vintage Playmates-style with a bunch of accessories?

>>11699246
from context, I take that to mean 'what if a guest star from a different franchise comes into this toyline'

>>11699246
I'm 50/50 on that. The Sharks and the Dinosaurs are like, the size of the bigger mutants in TMNT like Leatherhead and like, 2012 Slash.

Speaking of SonicTurtles. surprised we still haven't gotten a Sonic/Ninja Turtles crossover yet.
Especially given that would give Jakks an excuse to do TMNT figures.
