The Scarlet Spider Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 God I can't imagine collecting this line, one blind bag assortment is enough to make me want to quit Marvel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind blind bags if they didn't have so many one per case characters I wanted. I could deal with 1Ā but 2 is too much. My local stores don't carry blind bags so I would have to pay $20 a mate to get one per case characters on the after market or pay for a case which gives me a ton of double to have to sell off. It's a pain honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Yeah, the blind bags at Wal-Mart are the Mega Bloks ones. Ā I think they're on Series 3. The TMNT Minimates blind bagĀ 1 per case figures are damn near impossible to track down. Ā TMNT was one of my favorite lines but Series 4 & 5 of the blind bags really left a bad taste in my mouth. Ā The one per case figures should really be something cool and different like the mutagen variants or Dark Horizon variants, not a main (or somewhat)Ā character.

I think the pre-mutation/scarring Shredder and Splinter make perfect sense as one per case figures. They're limited appeal variants of previously made characters. Stockman would make sense too, if we had a Stockman Fly. I don't think two chases is a good idea, but DST has chosen reasonably well. Making Space April a chase does seem odd, though, unless she has a majorly reduced role when they're in space? I don't watch the show.

I'm pretty sure April was in every episode during the space episodes. Ā Stockman hasĀ been on the tv show and in the comics quite a bit. Ā The Oroku Saki and Hamato Yoshi were awesome because most toy lines never make them, only Shredder and Splinter. Ā I think there's only been 1 other Hamato Yoshi since they started making TMNT figures in the 1980's. Ā So for hardcore TMNT fans, it was great to see they were being made.Ā I tryĀ to help out with Minimates info over in different TMNT forums as wellĀ to hopefully get some new fans on board. Ā Most people were initially excited about these butĀ quite a few have sinceĀ givenĀ up after not being able to find the damn blind bag figures.

SCW Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Actually there was also a Hamato Yoshi made in the 2K3 line as well. While on one hand I do agree that the one per case figures are sort of one off obscure, they're still pretty integral characters, whereas a Turtle variant or something would be much easier for collectors to digest. I know the bling bags burned Luke pretty bad this last go around, which is a shame as the TMNT Minimates are amazing and even the TMNT variants themselves are pretty fun. What's the lineup for the next series? I don't recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're even the slightest fan of tmnt, you should watch the show. Seasons 1-3 are on hulu and to me, they are best tmnt has even been.

MisterMiracle Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Yeah, I agree. Ā I've seen every incarnation of TMNT and the new Nick cartoon is really good. Ā I wasn't a fan of the space episodes but all of the other seasons so far have been awesome.

JeffBohn Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Fun with Kraangs. Ā The MegaBloks Krang's Rampage is on clearance for $21 at Toysrus.Ā Minimates don't fit snugly in the abdomen, need to give it a little filler to keep it in, but works well enough for display.

Ninturtle Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I really miss collecting these thIngs after seeing the pictures of them, those damn one per case figures are going to be hard to find. I really only want Steranko, Stockman, Hamoto Yoshi, and Oroku Saki , anyone know of a way to getting them besides buying a case or paying high after market prices? My LCS's don't carry minimates.

Heinous Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Sternako seems pointless unless you're a completist. He's just a civilian that had like 2 or 3 appearances before he became an awesome rhinoĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninturtle Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) He's probably the character I want the most actually, I really want to have him and Anton Zeck together in my collection. The same for human Bradford Ā with Xever if he ever comes out. IĀ like to have a mutant and human form of a character.

SCW Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Sternako is a great MM too. He had pretty much one whole episode dedicated to him as a separate villain and popped up a few times before becoming mutated. I could see the want for him. I doubt we'll ever get human Xever, but I really want a Fishface figure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't gotten many mutant characters with out their human forms so if we get a Fish Face figure Xever isn't too unlikely, especially because he'd be easy for DST to make tooling wise.

MisterMiracle Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I love that we get so many non-mutated versions of characters. Ā You just don't see that with any other TMNT line. Ā I think a Fishface and Xever variant would make sense but it sounds like they're using newer stuff from this newest season for Series 6.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
