Ninturtle Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I also really hope we get a Tiger Claw minimate, Playmates is making 2 more variants of him in his season 5 outfits so he must have a pretty big role in season 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I'm gonna have SO many variants of the Turtles... and I'll gladly add Usagi Yojimbo to my collection!  This guy needs to show up:  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Is there a good source for upcoming Playmates figures? I can't find anywhere that covers announcements and prototype pictures and store sightings the way this & Fwoosh do. I typically don't even know that there are new TMNT figures until I see them in stores (and look on the card back for more). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Lol, yes, I remember them, but that was back when my parents could actually find all of the figures (we were never well off financially, and I never saw the likes of the Technodrome*, least of all the Blimp or Sewer because of that, but I was never wanting for Turtles figures - I literally had them all - I recently, as in a few days ago - went through an online "checklist" of them, and I literally had every last figure released up until the goofy waves of variant Turtles). (*I ended up with a vintage Technodrome from a past roommate who just didn't want it anymore and gave it to me, free of charge! It's missing pieces, and not in "mint" condition, but I am very happy to have it!) In this day and age of shortpacks & scalpers, I like to know what's coming before it's come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffBohn Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Panda Khan formed a near unbeatable tag team with Usagi Yojimbo back in my youth. Panda was the brute strength, Usagi the high flyer. The Flying Frogs could never dethrone them. And in those days, I'd buy a new G.I. Joe vehicle just to get the new year catalog and see what was coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninturtle Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 If we got classic toon turtles I'd love a vintage toy variant of thosse figures like the loyal subjects did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the style of them and they've made some solid mirage and Fred Wolf turtles. And my point still stands that vintage turtle figures would be great minimates.

But fair warning, it's one of those places where everyone is all jaded and generally hate Playmates and do a lot of self-loathing and whatnot. But it's probably the best place to keep track of the figures and see pics, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to the colorful 80's Turtles make the Minimate makeover.  Throw in Splinter, Shredder, April and a Foot Soldier and we've got an entire wave. 1 hour ago, SCW said: The Technodrome forums is probably the best place.

I guess it's all subjective, I personally think the TLS figures have a cool chibi-esqe style and that they don't resemble aliens at all and that the playmates figures are lazily made figures that I gave up on a while ago, but different strokes for different folks.
