Valo487 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Brad becomes Dogpound and Rahzar after that, the Normans are the human disguise for the Kraang. Speaking of Kraang, where do they fit in to Series 2? I was under the impression that was where they were going to be mass-released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Bradford is a ninja, works for Shredder. Norman is a Kraang in disguise. Any hidden Kraang features on the chest block under Norman's coat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Kraang, where do they fit in to Series 2? I was under the impression that was where they were going to be mass-released. I said we'd make more later, the rest of that somebody made up. Bradford is a ninja, works for Shredder. Norman is a Kraang in disguise. Any hidden Kraang features on the chest block under Norman's coat? Not that I am aware of, although he may come with a gun and a Kraang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) What is with the white eyes on the 3 turtles? Are they possessed, in a bezerker rage or hypnotized? Fill me in people, like I said before, I don't watch the show. Edited January 14, 2015 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnim zola Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 So what's the Kmart exclusive this time around? Blue krang? Really we just saw new figures, but we don't know who's going where other that the 4 turtles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I hope the K-Mart exclusive business is over, they're just not plentiful enough to merit them in my opinion. I'm all for getting 'mates into as many chains as possible, but the only one near me closed, and I don't even know where another one is.

ApexPredator Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 What is with the white eyes on the 3 turtles? Are they possessed, in a bezerker rage or hypnotized? Fill me in people, like I said before, I don't watch the show. In a few of the episodes their eyes go white when their in ninja or "stealth mode".

TENIME_art Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Like Batman. Or Robin. Or Wolverine. Or any other superhero with a mask, lol. They look amazing. And I need 4 of those Raphs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Gotta say the Turtles are a bit disappointing. I'll still get a case to guarantee a full set and maybe customize the Turtles or something. Question - is the Norman guy the armybuilder in this series?

MisterPL Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Just found out today that one of my Kmart stores is closing after all. I'm now that much less a fan of Kmart exclusives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterMiracle Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Oh my goodness! Splinter , Karai, Bradford, and Casey Jones all look amazing! Kraaang looks ok. The Turtles are...iffy. They better come with some amazing accessories if I'm expected to buy those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I'm happy to see Splinter with a sculpted head. After seeing what happened with the Turtles' noggins, I was curious how characters like this would be handled. I prefer the white eyes on the Turtles but only because it makes them look more like their original comic book counterparts. As tempting as they are, I think I'll wait for DST to offer a comic set.

DDM101 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Well they are awesome. This is solidified this line as being my fave minimates ever. A bold claim I know but man these are wicked. My only gripe on the second set from the pic is Donnies gap tooth is a little out. I'm sure that will be rectified tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I'll enjoy the new characters but are these series 2 Turtles different enough ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyCrypts Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 There are 18 of them in the case ....... = Specialty? from what I understood both the Mass Market and Specialty wave 1 bags had 18 so.. Zach lil help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 BHM, it's safe to say that every assortment will feature the Turtles to make sure newbies have a chance at getting the core characters. I know if I were just jumping on with Series 2, I'd be happier with these than, say, the LARP costumes they wore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 I'll enjoy the new characters but are these series 2 Turtles different enough ? That's the rub...release the 4 turtles with slight variations (more appealing to casual buyers/collector late to the party) or release variations that may not appeal to the casual buyer but might be more appealing to collectors/kids (Playmates built their company on this!). Personally, I like the idea of slight variations for the first few waves, then, start working in themed variants of the 4 turtles (D&D, etc). Balancing the need for recognizable turtles with the need for variants to push the line is going to be tricky. Maybe if the line shows the longevity it should have, DST can do a "Best Of" wave with the traditional versions to keep them available for retailers.
