New Nickelodeon Ninja Turtles Figures

[Werewolf]

Picked up the talking FX Shredder at Walmart today. From the front he doesn't look terrible on display. The cape hides it a bit but from the side he does look kinda bulky. The cape is actually attached to the battery compartment with a screw. You won't be use the cape with the regular Shredder figure.

Yeah, I'm thinking that might be the big present this year...unless he changes his mind in the next few months.

My son is really into these new TMNT figures. He'll be 11 in November, and I'm sad to say this will most likely be the last year he really wantes toys to play with for birthday and Christmas. That Turtle Playset would be an awesome sight under the tree...

Aww, that is a little sad but at least his childhood collecting will go out on a high note with that awesome playset.

That playset is NUTS. Nice to see another toyline other than Star Wars offering a truly large playset like this.

I was hoping the cape wasn't so attached so I could use it with the small one. I can pass all of the FX figures though.

The FX Shredder looks really bad without the cape. To fit the electronics in he has kind of like a camel hump back under the cape. Definitely the weakest of the FX figures. I have the four turtles but I'm stil debating on getting Shredder.

Spotted the Sound FX Shredder yesterday (hadn't seen him yet) and snapped a pic for anyone curious. Cape is plastic.

That playset looks so awesome. I've been building my Foot army as well in anticipation of its acquisition! I'm at 2 MOC and 6 loose, but may have to grab a few more to spread around that monster playset, I really like the new Foot Soldier design.

Is anyone army-building Kraangs?

The playset is a thing of beauty. As a playset junkie it was a must buy. It has taken over our dinner table.

Neat! You have even more Foot Soldiers than I do.

Spotted the Secret Sewer playset (3-4 of each) at a couple different TRUs. Veeeerrrry tempting even at $120, but I decided to wait (we'll see how long that works). I don't think these will be flying off the shelves, so I'm in no hurry to secure. One surprise I didn't notice from pics or reviews, all the characters on the box are illustrated, they aren't photos of the figures, which I like. Very nice, very vintagey!

I got the sewer yesterday from TRU.com. It's amazing and even larger than you think it would be. It absolutely dwarfs the even largest classic playsets like Castle Grayskull and Cat's Lair. There is no wasted space in the box the playset comes in. It's tightly packed with pieces. Parts are even packed inside of other parts. Just when you begin to think that the era of playsets have come and gone Playmates surprises us with this jewel. It is not over priced at $120. It's worth it.

My son picked up Leo and Raph. I have to say these are very nice figures for the price. $7.77 at Wal-Mart for a figure like this with lots of articulation and tons of accessories. Shows how much we are being overcharged for other lines.

Any word on Wave 1.5 (?) shipping / case breakdown? Playmates apparently confirmed Dog Pound, Fish Face and Metalhead will be rotated into the current case asst. for Fall, rather than a full Wave 2. I'm curious to know who will not be in the pack-outs moving forward (April, Splinter, Foot, Kraang?)...I don't guess it really matters, but I still have a few to track down!
