>>11798614 When is battle damaged remastered raph vs rocksteady going to be available again? Jeff bezos should be flogged for amazon not having enough stock before of the two pack.
Say, up in Harlem at a table for two There were three of us: me, your big head, and you From your neck down, I'll say you sure are well-bred From there up, there's just too much head
>ohhh ya head's too big >don't wantcha cuz ya head's too big >can't scale because ya head's too big >I really hate ya cuz ya head's too big
Now April, she likes you, she thinks you're in order Got what it takes to be a reporter She had some work done, what the heck? Man oh man now she's got too much neck
>oh ya neck's too long >mad at ya cuz ya neck's too long >cheaped out and so ya neck's too long >I hate ya cuz ya neck's too long
Oh they were just tryin' to make you taller But your shoulders is lower than your collar. To me, you look like a giraffe Ultimate? It's the ultimate gaffe.
>>11798619 Ooophhhh, if that's the deal and I can find them, then I'll do that. Right now I've just got the bad guys on pre order, just like I did with turtles of greyskull. I just like the bad guys and there mutants more than the turtles, been that way since I was a kid.
>>11799114 son I buy neca and super7, I just like doing blues song parodies.
actually does someone have like control art for the old cartoon? I'd like to compare it to the neca toon line, and show how their basic fuckup was making the turtles too big. that meant they were stuck either making more and more expensive figures, or.. fudging the scale. Super7 did the former, and it cost them.
>>11799186 How do you know I'm not right? Super7 seemed to care a lot about scale, they would say stuff like 'this guy needs to be really big' or 'this guy was a '5th turtle' to me, so I made him the same size as them' etc. they even beefed up the party wagon after its initial showing, so it'd be properly roomy for guests. Man, it's weird knowing I could have waited and bought that now, instead of the coronawagon, for the same price now that it's so discounted. but... aside from the interior, and the engine detailing and shit, I just don't like it as much. Too round, guns aren't as cool.
>>11799188 >Super7 seemed to care a lot about scale No, they didn't. You're just showing how very little you know about everything every time you open your trap.
>>11799140 I think shipwreck looks great honestly, just remove the idea of a gi Joe crossover and it could slide right in with a vintage playmates wave. I get dial tone don and think it's funny but I like gi Joe dial tone. Roadblock Ralph just looks like Ralph is wearing roadblocks gear, and I mean snake eyes leo is snake eyes leo. They look better than that motu transformers cross over meds. It's off topic but that was when I decided to stop collecting origins.
>>11799227 eh yknow i'm looking at control art and maybe I'm wrong. I'd have to see the neca figures again, but I don't think they're that far off from this after all.
>>11799186 >it changed all the time in the episodes you do kinda have a point. Hell, Bugman looks three different heights here, even taking into account the hunched pose.
>>11798614 I wrote this in the other thread right before the new thread was made
Previously the amazon page had the "currently unavailable" text in red font but after they put more of the two pack up (and amazon wouldnt let my purchase it like the incompetent faggots they are) the "currently unavailable" text turned to grey. Is that significant or does that mean anything?
>>11799375 yeah maybe i'm wrong. I could have sworn I compared them before and- well part of it is that Shredder and Foot soldier aren't as bulky as they are in that animation model, but meh. the show varied a lot. I'm still tempted to get the neca Bugman from time to time, even if just to pop his head onto a slightly larger buck. they kinda gave him a big head and smaller body compared to the cartoon, but roughly the correct size. so I could put him on the super7 shelf if I had an appropriate body.. but.. that's real hard. everyone just advises 'buy some cheap thrift store figures or something to customize, you'll find one in the right size eventually' but I am pooor.
>>11799694 I do like how they tried to give them a really solidly cool vehicle this time, and an armored bank truck is obviously turtle-appropriate, but somehow it just never seemed that fun. I often wonder about what I'd do if I was like, tasked with making something roughly like the original movie, but expanded into a show that needs to have vehicles and shit.. you'd wanna be a little more grounded, but at the same time.. definitely load that sucker up with miniguns. 90s New York was ROUGH.
Now that we have Apocalypse Now Raph, what other New Hollywood collabs are you looking forward to? Mikey as The Long Goodbye's Phillip Marlowe? Leo as Jack Nicholson from Five Easy Pieces? Donny as Gene Hackman from The Conversation? Casey Jones and April 2 pack from Badlands?
>>11800104 it's not a bad idea, and it's pretty clever. The main clue it's not real is that there's no current line that looks like this (looks like 2k3) and also that his plastron extends up into a turtleneck (heh)
>>11798648 >no alt hands with gloves I guess they will come in a future reissue or an accessory pack. Hopefully it wont only be included with a black and white repaint cashgrab 4 pack like the other 2012 accessory pack.
>>11800145 I was going for 'cranky old man who probably will need diapers again soon' In my day, cartoons had this thing called 'anatomy.' It was how we knew we had it better than in our parents' day, when Hanna-Barbera roamed the earth.
>>11799139 The android body itself is pretty cool, but has Krang himself ever looked so "wad of used gum"-shaped before? I get it's so he fits in the chest cavity, but even then, couldn't they have made it just a smidge taller so he doesn't look so smushed?
>>11800280 oh wait, for some reason I thought you meant make it taller on the inside, but keep the 'door' size you didn't actually say that. Yeah I guess they could have made the 'microwave' bigger on the whole. but it would have swallowed up part of that magnificent collar.
Will Mattel give the turtles their own specific lines or will they get dumped into the DC ones due to the Paramount/WB merger likely dropping them into the DCU?
>>11800497 Mattel will use the Core system they created for the MOTU movie kids line for their main TMNT figs and vehicles. I'd also wager they would using Origins style since they already done togs, but more TMNT style with out the fancy armor gear. It's be neat if they did OC designs for Chronicles, like how Joy Toy does their TMNT line. I'm not interested in more 90s movie turltes or comics stuff when there's already plenty of those. Heck, I'd take Joy Toy designs in 6.5" if they can keep it at $25.
>>11801187 >they can't do an Origins line No, not like a remaster, just using origins parts and peices. Reamking all those vintage playmates figs with modern articulation would never work at retail since it would all be unique molds. im surprised they are doind 200x cartoon remake at all the way the have it now. Mostly unique parts. Think how WWE super stars are, just origins parts with a new head and some cheap soft goods. Mattel already has turtles origins bodies and headsculpts. It's be cheap to just reuse and modify those. I would expect a large roster in the origins style. Probably just the original vintage release of the first 10 figs from playmates. Maybe android Krang using the big origins body again. And whatever else mattel can kibash using existing origins parts.
>>11801200 An Origins -styled release of the entire Shredder's Revenge cast, playable and bosses, would be one hell of a show of customer good will on Mattel's part
>>11802649 I thought their packaging also glowed. was that only the sleeve? boy not to rag on s7, i love their stuff, but what the fuck was the idea with the sleeves. All that did is cost money.
>>11803044 'comin out of their shells' really hammered "Don, Mike, Raph, and Leo" into my head as the orders. So basically opposite of yours. Something euphonious about 1, 1, 1, and 2 syllables. as michelangelo was increasingly depicted as a retard (and the extraneous 'a' removed from his name), he kinda became 'mikey' and now that doesn't work as well. who ever calls him mike?
>>11803044 There is one other way that is roughly logical: spectrum mike-raph-don-leo or leo-don-raph-mike both have their adjacent mask colors touching.
>>11803129 >Ask for how others line up their turtles >someone says their prefered way >another person says the same way >this person's wrong somehow Is it just because it's Boco?
>>11809654 These are all the basic figures. Cynthia Utrom is Krang (no surprise). The guy in Casey Jones outfit is solicited as "Splinter as Vigilante."
>>11809654 almost 12 inches, for 30 bucks? fat chance, suggesters.. imagine wanting a paying art gig and you look at what gets made and it's this concept art that looks like a kid hurried to get it done before school
>>11809676 >mid thigh cuts so sick of this. just make the leg ball joint connect to a thigh twist piece that plugs into the leg. it's the same number of pieces total. >>11809726 kek what do EU regulators matter..
>>11809757 >kek what do EU regulators matter.. given what stop killing games is doing hopefuly a lot to fuck over the big dogs allowing digital sales of games as a temporary license instead of outright owning the game we paid ownership for
new game by the makers of Baytonetta and Nier games. Will Mattel make this their collectors line intead of rehashin IDW and 90s movies again? NECA made decent statue figs, hoping we can get ones with articulation.
>>11810693 It won't be when Mattel takes over fully. It will be when it's time for them to renew the license. Joytoy didn't renew the license, but they never revealed if it was because Paramount Skydance jacked up the licensing fee by 2000% like was reported with that Star Trek licensee.
>>11799249 That's interesting. I've seen multiple other figures where they make Rocksteady the larger of the two. Which I guess they do since he's a rhino.
>>11811167 But the last TMNT game they made sucked. I did like the whole "all four turtles fighting at once with the player swapping between them while enemies and bosses are designed to be challenging to all four at once" feature and wish more TMNT games would use it.
