DSTZach Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Working on a con exclusive set. Four turtles, but a cool set. Not sure what new characters are planned. Movie characters are not available to us, I believe. Quote

buttheadsmate Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Although I'm not exactly a Turtle fan I have always appreciated the Minimates , they're generally brilliant . I'm perhaps not the best person to propose anything for the future but here goes ..... A Blimp . Not one of those blow-up versions that I can see for sale but a proper plastic version* . IMHO there would be minimal tooling , keep it simple but go-for-it with the tampos ( water-slides ?) . I honestly think that many TMNT fans would buy one & .....I hate to say it .....wouldn't give a shit whether it had a Minimate or not . * it would therefore be inflation-proof Quote

Good of you to float the idea. Some would say I'm full of hot air, but I think a Kraang-bot Vinimate could really take off. Quote
DSTZach Posted January 15 Posted January 15 I THOUGHT you were serious, but I wasn't 100% sure. Wouldn't an all-plastic blimp be a LOT of tooling, though? That's a big steel mold to create. I'm sure that's why Playmates' blimp was inflatable back in the day. Quote
buttheadsmate Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Only 'big' if you want it to be big . The minimate vehicle design 'model' has always been 'deformed' so I was thinking keep it similar size to nigh on everything else . Other Blimps are nice but too big to go on a shelf. Quote

I would be down for a minimate style Turtle Blimp or Van! Quote

Something like this? I like this idea. They could make the balloon part open like a silly putty egg and pack the parts or some turtle mates inside. Open and assemble! I think it could be made to work. Edit: Thinking further this would work for DST's tooling re-use. They could make a blimp for each turtle, like Enterprises for each captain. Completionists would have to buy 4. Not to mention battle damaged, etc. Why am I giving them this idea? LOL Edited January 16 by cylonchaney Quote
buttheadsmate Posted January 16 Posted January 16 You got it ! I was thinking that the 'eggshell' could be made in 2 halves ,packed in 2 halves*, & then assembled by the purchaser . Then again ....that's what Cylon said ! Eggsactly . *difficult to explain but does .....(( .........help ???? Quote
DSTZach Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Love the design, CC! I would hope that if TMNT Minimates vehicles ever became feasible (large retailer, big order, etc.), that we would start with the van. Although I've seen pics of the Jada Toys van with Minimates inside it, and that one seems to work perfectly. Quote
cylonchaney Posted January 17 Posted January 17 There's another idea started that I'll probably feel compelled to complete one day. Quote
nandoninny Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Toy Shiz just posted images of the final box. look good! i like that baxter can be easily modded to his human form (if you wanted to) hope this link works: https://www.instagram.com/p/C2fS-iERkBz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Quote
Navaan Posted January 24 Posted January 24 A little sad that Baxter only has one Mouser but I have a couple spare I suppose. Quote
cylonchaney Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Casey Jones is my favorite non-turtle character. Quote
Navaan Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Ugh. I need Ray Fillet. I need Rahzar. I need Mutagen Man. I need the rock soldiers. MOAR TMNT PLEASE. Quote

spidermatt Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Will there be any more Last Ronin box sets? Have the sales of that set been good enuf? Quote
DSTZach Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Not sure. I suggested one, but we went a different direction for SDCC. I'll keep pitching! Quote
Navaan Posted January 30 Posted January 30 The Party Wagon is September?!? Man, I'm way too impatient for that! Quote
DSTZach Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Should be sooner, the figures are done, packaging is probably done as well. Quote

HellfireSamurai Posted March 20 Posted March 20 (edited) So if there is gonna be another SDCC set; what are the odds it could be based off of the 2003 cartoon? Doubting it would be based off of the LR2: Re-Evolution comics given issue #1 just finally hit this month after many delays. (But would definitely buy a set based off of that book **nudge nudge**) Edited March 20 by HellfireSamurai Quote
