MisterPL Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 My wife asked why the set all had red masks. I'll have to try this just for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Man, after seeing those pics...I really hope we get a set of the colored 80's turtles with colored pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaIceman Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Man, after seeing those pics...I really hope we get a set of the colored 80's turtles with colored pads. I don't. The 1987 TMNT cartoon is my favorite cartoon of all time. If we get 1987 TMNT Minimates...well, there goes all my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh2382 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Positive I'm not the only person who wanted to do this, but as I just got my Mirage set in the mail I had to "fix" this asap. The Mirage heads were were super easy to separate from their bandanas, whereas the animated ones took a little prying even after they settled in boiled water. This is fantastic. I really want 80s turtles, too. Those colors will pop so well on 'mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Putting these together because I think seeing how cool the Mirage ones look with the multi-colored bandanas and the Nick ones look with all Red bandanas at the same time is gonna be the push a lot of people need to make these sets for themselves. (I mean, you can justify it as there’s no wasted parts! You’re buying two sets and ending up with two sets! Not many quick customs can claim a zero causality rate!)

JediJohnson Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 They're ruined. A travesty. Original comic turtles all the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Never thought to put the colored masks on the Mirage Turtles. I like how they look. I have a lot of extra 'toon Turtles so I just need another Mirage set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Fear not, purists out there! I'll be keeping a set of Mirage turtles in red bandanas too. As I said, the Mirage heads were easy to take apart. It's the Nick ones that took some prying. If you're wanting to keep the heads mint, that may not be the case with the Nick heads. Mike and Raph really stuck together, so I impatiently used pliers. I have multiples, I regret nothing. The Mirage set (swapped masks or not) is the first Turtles set I've been excited about. If we got Playmates characters, I'd be all over that like stink on you-know-what. Edited September 15, 2015 by Mystery Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 HA! Does Baxter appear in the new show? I sure wish we could get a minimate of that fly head. Also, has anybody tried painting a Splinter brown? What about making a more 1987 cartoony version of Shredder? The Mirage set has sparked a fierce nostalgia in me for these guys. I'm already hoping to modify the Bebop and Rocksteady when the come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicmilner Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Whilst these look great, i'm holding off getting them because I would really love to see them make versions of the charactera from the late 80's/early 90's show! Have there been any hints towards them making waves based on that era at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterMiracle Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Baxter Stockman has indeed been on the new Nick show in three different versions actually: 1. Himself 2. In a big robot 3. Mutated as a fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prowlar Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 For those not wanting to wait I picked up a Lego Blind Bag Series 14 Wolfman, that I'm thinking to trying to turn into a Cap-Wolf, and one of the figures is a human fly. The head and claw hand should work on a minimate body for a custom Stockman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutated as a fly Technically 4 versions, there's also his early prototype robot suit (IE Baxter with some random metal parts, helmet, shoulderpads, arm attachments, etc...)
