Roccothegreat Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 There's gotta be someone who snuck a photo no? I can't find anything hah Quote
DSTZach Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 So the classic '87 toon can be used for minimates too or are they forbidden?Require permits many, money more. Quote
winkerbean Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Has someone just been watching search for Spock? Quote
VulcansFury Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 How can you be deaf with ears like that? (I have most of Search For Spock memorized) Quote
Josh2382 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I was looking at the character lineup on the previous page(which I can't quote because my phone doesn't want me to...) And I was curious. Will there be a boxset? Quote
Mattallica Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I was a hardcore collector of the early playmates stuff(still have it all too) but havent bought any TMNT stuff in years But im sure as hell buying TMNT MM Quote
DSTZach Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I am not sure if TRU will have these, but maybe. I am not sure of any modern four-packs, but maybe if the classic thing happens. Quote
cdubya Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I am not sure if TRU will have these, but maybe. I am not sure of any modern four-packs, but maybe if the classic thing happens. These (modern 2-pack) seem like a perfect fit for TRU as they are actually relevant to kids (of all ages)*fingers crossed*. So, "not part of current license" but has there been any discussion on pursuing "classic"? These could make for some nice nostalgic box sets (ala Icon's Thundercats) for the specialty market targeting older collectors! Edited February 25, 2014 by cdubya Quote
DSTZach Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 These (modern 2-pack) seem like a perfect fit for TRU as they are actually relevant to kids (of all ages)*fingers crossed*.Well, sure, it's the number one action figure line in America, and a top 4 cartoon, but that doesn't mean TRU will take it. I know they're taking our vinyl banks, but I have not seen Minimates on the list.So, "not part of current license" but has there been any discussion on pursuing "classic"?Who are you quoting? Quote
Captain Paco Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Ok, King Kobra shared the list and it has 10 names on it. So will there be five 2-packs in this set? Who will be packed with who? Who are the variants and how limited will they be? Why do we need two different Kraang Droids and a Kraang Foot Ninja? Where is Splinter in this wave? "Minimates are planned but we were not allowed to take pictures of them. Shown was Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello, Kraang droid #1, Kraang droid #2, Shredder, Foot Ninja human, Foot Ninja Kraang, and April ONeil. There was also a posted of more characters coming but we were not allowed to mention the names of those characters at this time." Quoted from toy hype. Quote
The Vox Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I can not wait to see a picture of these.. I keep checking back here in vain.. Zach, I know it may not be possible to say given various factors but I would love to hear a general idea of when pics will be available.. like are we talking weeks or months before a possible reveal?

Ummm, I guess I'm "quoting" myself based on how I interpreted these replies: So the classic '87 toon can be used for minimates too or are they forbidden?Require permits many, money more. I am not sure if TRU will have these, but maybe. I am not sure of any modern four-packs, but maybe if the classic thing happens. I suppose a better question would be: Is DST (or another party) interested in expanding into classic merchandise or are they waiting to see how the modern line performs first? Quote
Shogi Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Ok, King Kobra shared the list and it has 10 names on it. So will there be five 2-packs in this set? Who will be packed with who?

I'd assume Splinter is on the list of more characters coming. As for why we need two krang droids and a foot krang, well first off there's around 3 different krang droid looks (Human in business suit, Droid, blue Droid) For all we know, one of them could even be a battle damaged droid. and the foot krang is a completely different character/army builder all together Quote
Roccothegreat Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 how did the pics of these not leak yet! i saw leaks of almost all the other stuff haha Quote
WookieFodder Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 yeah! and where the hell is Ace Duck?!? Quote
DSTZach Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Cdubya, that first quote was a Star Trek reference, in response to Rocco's hilarious use of the word "forbidden." The page before that, I had stated that it was a real possibility. We're making a classically-styled bottle opener, and we have some classic MM designs on deck -- don't know that they're definite, but they are an option. Don't know series breakdown yet, or when we'll solicit, but I'll keep people posted. Quote
King Kobra Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Zach, do you know if comic versions are a possibility? Quote
rthornsley Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I absolutely cannot wait for these! I really hope DST expands into comics because both the Mirage and IDW Shredder designs are my absolute favorite. Quote
hellpop Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 A comics-based box set would sell very well at specialty, I think. Remember, the NECA Turtle sets were a very big seller when they came out. Quote
Onyx_6 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I just want Rocksteady and Bebop. Rahzar and Tokka would be welcome too. Quote
JediJohnson Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 A comics-based box set would sell very well at specialty, I think. Remember, the NECA Turtle sets were a very big seller when they came out. Best Turtles and Turtle toys ever! Quote
cdubya Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 True. What's the general concensus if these were b/w, though? Quote
rthornsley Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 True. What's the general concensus if these were b/w, though? I would definitely prefer color but, considering the source material, I'd still jump all over a b&w set. Quote
TENIME_art Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 About that source material... http://comicsalliance.com/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-color-classics-1-preview/ Quote
