buttheadsmate Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I've not exactly embraced blind-bagging but this particular community's members will have little difficulty in acquiring whatever they want . The chase will of course will always be more of a problem but .....what's new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roccothegreat Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) i just read that the turtles were supposed to have sculpted heads but the licensor denied it!. damn that would have been great, i don't want to speak negatively but i don't see myself buying these with those square heads. maybe if the bodies weren't so big and sculpted i wouldn't mind that small head but as of now i just don't need to jump into another line unless i need it. not putting the line done they all look great just something i can pass on, i know dst doesn't always like it but on some mates the more sculpt, the move i love them.

DSTZach Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 We're all about sculpted parts, in this case we just have a LOT of sculpted parts (shells, armor, feet, etc.) rather than REALLY A LOT. I think they look just as great with the cylindrical heads, but I understand some people being disappointed. I hope they grow on those people. And I understand people not wanting to try blind bagging. No standard MM releases planned on these, but hopefully they will be easy for everyone to get.

bzorio Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Holly macaroni! It seems that I'll have to buy a few boxes and sell or exchange with my friends over here. It's the only way for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Interesting. I'll probably go after these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Going after the blind bags will depend on what exactly is going into the blind bags. I do want the main cast of Ninja Turtles characters, but blind bags will basically involve me grabbing one or two at a time and seeing how many Foot Clan ninjas my Turtles get to kick the s**t out of. If the main cast is available without getting blind bags I'm going that route. Damn I love not being a completionist. And as for the head issue, I like this as it is. Frankly they just kinda look adorable and it made me want them in my collection even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roccothegreat Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 these blind bags will draw this community closer together. everyones gonna be looking out for each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Zach, on the turtles are the hands a separate piece from the sculpted forearms? Just wondering if they still have that point of wrist articulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 these blind bags will draw this community closer together. everyones gonna be looking out for each other. Not me. I'm going to be suspecting each and every one of you of cherry picking the blind bags/boxes of figures that I want most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 In light of what Trekker said in his post it's now easier for me as a completionist to say that as long as the completionists have a ready-made market for their duplicates then all will be fine & dandy for everybody [here] .

Josh2382 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 This is pretty exciting, but I was hoping it was a different license. Is there a decently complete list of the retailers these will be at? I'm excited to build a throne out of the foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Well, alright, then.If I wasn't guaranteed to get a whole set with a case, I'd be pretty upset, but this is cool.Hopefully they do well enough to get Minimates more exposure (and licenses!).Troop building is gonna be tough, though...

The Vox Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hmmm.. and if I get 4 Raphs.. then I can pretend they are the original turltes (all with red bandanas). Seriously though, I can see the blind bag helping minimates in general... but I really hope the price point is low or I will have a hard time hanging on to buy the whole line.
