New Nickelodeon Ninja Turtles Figures

So...found the full set of these at TRU. They weren't supposed to be out till early August. They turned out pretty great.



Here are some more pics and info:

Bring on that playset!

really nice looking figures, afraid to even ask how much that playset will be.

Neat. The Turtles look great. April looks a bit odd though. Her head is almostly totally ball shaped.

April looks a bit like Candace on Phineas and Ferb, but the Turtles look nice.

The figures are lots of fun, but the non-turtle characters are slightly off to me.

[Werewolf]

Are the four turtles the only figures in the TMNT classics collection so far?

[turnbolt]

Yup. That is it.

[Werewolf]

I checked a TRU, 2 Targets and a Walmart and not a single Turtle. Bummer.

Can you post a pic of the new Turtles to show scale with the Playmates 1988 or 2003 April? I'm just not digging the head sculpt of the new April.

Went back To Target today and got all 9 figures! Yay!! OMG!! These are Sooooo nice. The quality, the sculpts, the paint, the articulation just out of the ball park awesome. Still not loving April's new toon based head sculpt. Wish they had done her like the other figures which are a mix of the look of the original toys with the new cartoon designs. But other than that, they are just phenomenal.

The Turtles always look nice, but I'm never much of a fan of the stylized humans/allies/villains in any of the relaunches. I'm very much looking forward to TMNT Classics though...despite their He-Man scale (Fwoosh has a review up - I wonder if April, Shredder or Casey would actually tower of the Masters of the Universe?).

I think they look great but the scale totally kills it for me. Can't use them with the old toys, can't use them with the new toys or even the larger NECA figures. April and Shredder will have to be bigger and the Turtles are already out of scale and proportion with other lines, like MOTUC and DCUC, as it is. My fear/feeling is they will end up like the Thundercats classics and get cancelled after the first wave.

I would have loved a classic TMNT subset in scale with the new figures.

I don't get the scale complaints myself. All toys are in their own scale. Almost no two toys from different companies match up. Hell DCUC and MOTUC don't match up. Neither does Movie Masters and DCUC... Marvel Legends can barely keep in scale amongst itself.

The Turtles toys will be in scale with the other Turtles toys, which is all they ever should be.

I do agree that doing them at a smaller scale with the rest of the Nick TMNT would have been a nice move, but people wanted larger 6 inch figures, which is exactly what Playmates delivered.

[turnbolt]

The scales don't bother me. I would keep them all separate anyways. Can't wait to find the classics.
