  1. The 4 Turtles based on the original concept sketch is a neat, though I would also be down if they offered them in a 4 Pack as well. Neat they are also offering their version of Classic Voltron, though a part of me wishes they had also did the smaller I think it was 7" Voltron, which was released with Die-cast parts. Though I wouldn't have any issues if the 7" Voltron didn't have the diecast parts as well if they decided to reissue that 1, if it would give fans a cheaper and smaller Voltron for their collection that can still do the Lions as well.
  2. I maybe wrong, but I seem to recall this set was 1st released a few years ago as a GameStop Exclusive. I think it's neat for those who want the 4 Turtles in a Window Box Packaging, especially for display. 1 thing to point out is that they don't come with the Weapons Rack like the Single Cards. It's just the 4 Turtles with their signature weapons. If I ever decide to get this 1987 TMNT 4 Pack Set, and it's at a good sale or discount price, I'll customize them to be Mirage Inspired Turtles, something I've been thinking about since the recent reissues after I was done getting my 4 Regular Re-issue 1st Wave Turtles(2 from the 2012 Re-issue line, and 2 from the more recent Re-issues). Kind of like a What If Playmates had back then decided not to do the different colour masks and pads, and just kept them Red instead. I got a Ralph from the recent re-issue, and a Loose Missing Belt from the original 1980's/early 1990's line. If I get this 4 pack, I will at least have 3 Red Mask and Pads Turtles. 1 I will leave as Ralph. The rest, I swap out the belts and accessories from the Leo and Don from this set, and put them on the other 2 Ralph figures, and make them Mirage Leo and Don. For Mike, since his mask is Orange, I think I might be able to carefully paint or use a Red Maker on his Orange Mask and Pads to turn him into looking like a Mirage inspired look, since Orange is usually created by combing Red and Yellow(I think I'll most likely use a Red Maker, since that's cheaper and I don't have to worry about the Red Paint Chipping, which is why I wouldn't paint Leo and Don's Mask and Pads red). And being a brighter colour, the Red should in theory be able to blend in with the Orange decently. Even if the shade of Red doesn't end up looking exactly like the others, thanks to his different skin tone from the others, I like to think of it as Mikey's way of still standing out when compare to his other brothers. This way, I can have some Mirage Inspired Turtles done in the original Playmates style. I would keep the pads red, since I think the red pads would make them look more interesting and still add a splash of colour, instead of doing the pads in Brown or Black. If I notice Wal-mart puts these ever at a good Sale or Discounted price, I may consider picking up 2, just to keep 1 in box. Though I will admit, I'm usually a person who only buys 1 to open, not buy 2 so that I can have 1 for open, and 1 for close. Though the Window Box look with at least the Basic Weapons does look neat to me, so that's why I would consider it. I hope thought that since this year is the 40th Anniversary or even afterwards, that Playmates will continue to do some theme 5" Reissue 4 Pack sets like this, like a 4 Pack for each of the 4 Turtles in their respective series. Like 1990's Movie Turtles 4 Pack, Ninja Turtles III Samurai Movie Turtles 4 Pack, The Next Mutation 4 Pack(Or make it a 5 if they want to include Venus), 4Kids/2K3 Turtles 4 Pack, Fast Forward 4 Pack, 2007 TMNT 6" Movie 4 Pack, 1st Nick/2012 Series 4 Pack, 4 Packs from both Michael Bay Produced Movies, Their own Mirage Turtles in a 4 Pack, Rise Of The TMNT 4 Pack, and Mutant Mayhem 4 Pack. Maybe if they are able to, dust off the cancelled Back To The Sewer 6" Cyber figures, and put those Cyber Turtles in a 4 Pack(But I would say make the deco a bit more accurate to the show, not the "Bike Shorts" look that I felt they had). Granted, I think they would have to do 1 or 2 Four packs a year, and/or consider doing Series 4 Packs for different Store Exclusives, such as 1 for Target, 1 for Amazon, etc. I also wouldn't mind if they did some Army Building 4 Packs in this style of Box Packaging, or at the very least, a Shredder with 3 Foot Soliders/Ninjas, though I think I would personally like if they did them in Toon accurate colours. I think 1 neat 4 Pack would be having a 4 pack of different colour Foot Soliders based from the Arcade Game, as the arcade game had not only cartoon accurate Purple and Black Foot Soliders, but also Foot Soilders whose Purple were replaced with White, Red, Orange for sure, as I think there may have also been a Blue 1 too(I could be wrong on that).
  3. I like these, a they are homaging the Mix And Match Mutations figures from the 1st Nick cartoon series/2012 series. Sort of like the idea of using different parts to create your own figure, even if it doesn't make sense in fiction. I haven't gotten any of the Mutant Mayhem figures yet, as I can see myself maybe getting at least 1 or 2 of Turtles figures in this concept.
  4. Even if it's airing on Paramount+, I suspect that they will more likely get the actor James Sie, who voiced both Jackie Chan in the Jackie Chan Adventures cartoon series, as well as Master Monkey in Kung-Fu Panda: Legends Of Awesomeness cartoon series. Add in the fact that James Sie is also known as a "Jackie Chan Voice Impersonator", so I would assume he would be cheaper to get than the actual Jackie Chan. Even more so if this new TMNT series also still airs on T.V. on Nickelodeon in the U.S.(And probably YTV in Canada).
  5. My brother is really excited for this figure, as he told me about it. He got the McFarlane Metallica figures from back around the Late 1990's/Early 2000's. But I guess like some(Or maybe most) Metallica Fans, he feels that the only Metallica music that matters are the ones from their 1st 3 albums(Which I'm guessing was when Cliff Burton was alive), and anything pretty much afterwards, don't matter. If he really wants it, I hope he gets it, though since I'm assuming he never pays too much attention to Super7's Ultimates lines, I think he is going to be in for a big surprise on the price, even after I eventually tell him the price. Right now, just letting him enjoy his excitement and let it die down a bit, before I tell or remind him of Super7 Ultimates high prices.
  6. Sadly, I can see something similar to Toyfarce's Joke Article actually happening, given how McFarlane is doing a number of different types of variants for his figures nowadays. Glow In The Dark, All 1 Colour(Gold, Silver, Bronze, Icey, etc.), All Black with 1 or maybe more colour highlights(Gold, Silver, Red, or what have you), The Ice versions, See-Thorough Plastic(Regardless if it's a Ghost, Invisible, a Colour Lantern Construct, or whatever), Jokerized figures, and more. So yeah, Ice Cream/Popsicle Colours I can actually see happening down the road. Maybe not in time for this Summer, but I can see it in the near future.
  7. Martha Steward, Julia Childs, Dr. Phil? Sure, why not. Well known Real Life People that I'm sure would be neat for figures from other lines to interact with, regardless if Ultimates, ReAction, or whatever else Super7 does. I mean, Dr. Phil trying to help a Snake Eyes: - Dr. Phil: "So Snake Eyes, what's problems are you dealing with right now?" - Snake Eyes: "....."(Mute). - Dr. Phil: "I see..." Martha Stewart or Julia Childs doing a Cooking Show with Guest Appearance by Roadblock. Just for kicks and fun all around.
  8. Could be neat, espeically if they expand to other Rankin Brass Christmas Specails. Though who knows how the rights are, since the T.V. and I think even Home Video Rights are a bit of a mess(From what I understand).
  9. Waiting to hear about how some driver's response on why he crashed his car to the police: "Yeah, I was driving, and all of a sudden, a feed came in that Classified was going to release Doc and Jinx, which excited me, and well... You know how it is, right man? You can just let it slide just this once right?" Sad reality, I can see maybe low production of work happening in real life. Especially at some of Hasbro's competitors, when they are seeing what Hasbro is doing with Classified. Especially at Mattel, Jada Toys, and maybe Playmates to some degree. Valerverse and McFarlane Toys I would guess would not be concern at all.
  10. Good reveals all around I think. I do like Doc, Jinx, and the Night Creeper, as those are the only ones I would really consider. Do we know if the Tiger Force figures are 2 packs or not? Don't mind Tiger Force decos for the record, but I'd like to know if these are singles or 2 a pack. Not sure if I'd want either of Tiger Force versions of these characters, but they look nice. Like the little Bomb Drone's TF deco. Having said that, I like the look of the Single Package Tripwire because it comes with more accessories, and some swapping options. And Roadblock, I think for my collection, I would want that redeco of the 1st version(The 1 with no Gold). Still, regardless if singles or a 2 pack, the Tiger Force versions look nice, and even with Tripwire having less accessories, the deco might temp me enough get this version instead.
  11. Yeah. I mean it looks to me like Brainaic decide to 1 day take over Green Arrow's body or something for whatever reason. Either that, or Ollie 1 day just decide to cosplay as Brainaic.
  12. Agree with you on the colours of this 1. I suppose if you got both, you can use the standard version as how it normally appears, and then this colourful 1 when it's drawing data or even getting ready to attack, shrink a city, and/or destory a planet. I'm curious if the Purple is really going to be shiny or not in real life. Anyone know the deal with the Breaded Brainaic? Interesting look, but 1 I'm not familiar with. While his classic Pink top, Green Skin look is how he looked back in the 1960's-1970's, I'm more found with the more mechanical and machine looks he's had over the years.
  13. I'm guessing you feel this way because you want Doc to look like his original Version 1 look. Otherwise, I think it's a nice update over all, since it provides some protection to him. I would say if it turns out that the vest is not removable after you look at some reviews, to hold out and see if a Retro Cardback version is done. May have to wait a while though. Does anyone know if the Tiger Force revels are a 2 pack, or 2 individual releases? If what I'm seeing is true, then it looks like this Tripwire doesn't include his little mouse/rat, though maybe that's a good thing in the Jungle, since it would probably get eaten by a Snake or something. It also looks like Tripwire doesn't include other optional different helments and vests that the regular 1 has as well. Bit shame just because it made the 1st figure more customizable. But if this is part of a 2 pack, it might make more sense. Lucky for you, there are regular versions of this Tripwire and Roadblock, so no worries if Tiger Force isn't your thing. Though you might be upset in the fact that this Roadblock seems to come with his proper Weapons from his Version 1 and 2 approx 4" figures, when compared to pervious Classified figures.
  14. Like the Manga Batman. For most of the Batman's in this line, I've never been a fan of the headsculpt, as it always seem weird when looking at a side profile, especially the chin area. But this 1 seems to be good. I might consider it. Gold Superman is a neat variant, touching on the old Kenner figure(Though, I don't recall if it actually go released, or if it was a cancelled figure that didn't get released). Kiliwog looks huge. Still wish he came with a Lantern accessory, but what can you do if he's that huge, and there is no room for any accessories. Looks like Blue Beetle's Ship is a 2 seater, so that's cool, and look neat as well. I'm curious if the actual toy will have that shine look to it or not. Already gave my thoughs on Brainaic's ship in a pervious posting or 2, but over all, still neat.
