DDM101 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Has anyone who's got these got lego TMNT? If so, have you tried the lego heads on the mates? Do they match color/size wise? Cheers in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 So if anyone wants sculpted heads for their turtles: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=lego+ninja+turtles&_sop=15 This seller has a set of all four lego turtles plus Splinter (who we’ll probably need too since he’ll look odd with a cylinder head) and a worthless Shredder that usually sell for $5-$7 with free shipping. I just got mine today. The paints absolute sh*t but I was gonna have to color match to the minimate bodies anyway so that’s okay, but if you want an easy kitbash it’s not worth it. (although for just turtle heads and a splinter it’s WAAAAY cheaper then buying lego sets for just the well painted parts) Here’s how they look on minimates: (various sizes used since I have no clue how much bulk the shells add) This gave us an idea back in May.

Josh2382 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Found them today in middle TN. Managed to get Mikey, Don, and muta mike. I now have an extra Mikey, though, due to misjudging. These turtles are really awesome. I love the manhole covers, colors, and nothing is missing from my packs that I notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I remember that. I have some megablok TMNT and one offish lego Mikey. I've stuck the heads on mates and they look okish size wise. Well the lego one does. Just wondered if anyone had offish lego heads and tried it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yeah, I'm curious to see how the colors match. The Minimates noggins don't bug me but the tampo'd masks sure do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambitron Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) 3 of 4 kmarts in my area have closed in the last few years. Luckily the last one is 2 minutes from me, so far no luck though. Dying for these to show up! I just got the revoltech Donatello and it is amazing but looking forward to these so much more.

QuisporQuake Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 No turtles yet at Redwood City CA K-Mart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh2382 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 So...question for the people with knowledge or turtles. I thought I remembered Donatello having the crazy blade on his bo in one of the con pictures. My staff is definitely just a staff, unless they went all out and there's a secret button. Am I missing something or is that not in this wave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious Stranger Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I got lucky at the K-Mart up the street and they had the strip fully stocked with all 12 figures. I left the 2 Donnies and 2 Leos and Shredder (I have a specialty case on preorder) but grabbed what I'm pretty sure were the 2 Raphs, 2 Mikeys, the 2 different Foot figures and the Krang. Here is my "feel" guide if you're interested. Keep in mind this is in no way a definitive guide, just what I "felt" and figured out knowing basic Minimate anatomy and the look of the Turtles. K-Mart Blind Bag "Feel Guide" Mikey - feel the body of the figure for the nunchucks on his back. You should feel the 2 bumps where they are sheathed and a space inbetween them. Raph - has no discernible bumps and is the only Turtle that you can't feel anything on his back Leo - feel for the square scabbard on his back. Its pretty big and noticeable when you feel for it. Donnie - feel for the single bo staff sheath on his back, in the center at an angle. Also feel for his bo staff by itself, very thin round rod Shredder - feel for the smaller square body and THEN the pointed shoulder pads which are pretty easy to feel if you know Minimate anatomy. You can also confirm by feeling for his helmet which is NOT on his head Krang - the only square body with no add on parts. You can feel for his "Krang Brain" as well Footbot - feel for the longer arms and the pointed drill hand piece. Has a square body. Foot Soldier - feel for the sword sheath on his back which is smaller than Leo's but the same basic shape. Also a square body Unfortunately there is no way to tell the difference between Mutagen Mikey and regular Mikey but you have a 50/50 shot if you find the right figure. I bought the 2 they had and got lucky when the first one I opened was the Mutagen variant. I'll be keeping one Raph for a custom (to show up later this weekend) and returning 1 Raph and 1 Mikey as I got lucky and opened the figures I wanted after feeling them all up for 30 minutes in the store. I'll post some pictures here shortly if I can get my camera to cooperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) Here are some quick and dirty photos of the figures I picked up today. The Krang is a VERY cool figure. Clear body with silver and pink tampos give it a really cool alien robot look. And while the Krang itself is just a Minimate head with the legs sculpted on, it looks great. The bottom of the head has been filled in so no popping this onto a body without drilling out a neck hole unfortunately. The Footbot is WICKED cool. The second set of arms are held on by a waist piece with the shoulder joints on the back. This gives it a creepy spider robot feel especially with the big robot arm weapons mounted on it. AND you can easily remove the robot parts and have a simple Footsoldier. The big scythe/sword arm suffered from some blind bag warping but nothing a little soak in some hot water can't fix. I was skeptical about this figure initially but now that I have it in hand I can say it has won me over. The regular Foot Soldier is a bit of a letdown after opening the Footbot first, but that's only by comparison. On its own the Foot Soldier is a great army builder and looks very cool. The scabbard backpack is a great piece and has a peg to hold the axe looking weapon and the knife on the back of the belt is a great touch. Definitely going to be looking to get a few more of these. The variant for the K-Mart blind bags is Mutagen Mikey. He's just the regular Mikey figure done in clear green with an orange bandana. Nothing too special especially compared to the SDCC clear orange Mikey but a neat looking figure. And here's a shot of all the figures I picked up at K-Mart today. So far the Krang and the Footbot are my favorites. Can't wait to get the rest of the series. Oh and I didn't take individual pictures of Raph because he was being turned into this... The classic trenchcoat disguise Raphael. Basically I took a blind bag Raphael, and a Trenchcoat Thing and bashed them together to create this. As soon as the TMNT 'mates were announced and preorders opened up I snagged a Trenchcoat Thing on ebay and have been sitting on it waiting for the TMNT figures to arrive. I took the lower arms of Thing and cut off the hands (as they are sculpted on), drilled out a hole for the Raph hand peg to fit through and put them together. Then I took the coat, cut out the Thing "skin" from the neck area and sanded it down. Finally I cut off the Thing face from the hat and cut off the head peg as the Raph head doesn't have a hole on the top. A little superglue to glue the hat and glasses onto the face and some touch up paint and I have this beauty in my collection.
