  1. I don't understand why people who like the design can't just like it but feel the need to attack others. TMNTfan85 is wrong here. Everyone who doesn't like the design isn't calling him names, like he's doing to them. Fanboy has become the new insult for nerds to give to other nerds. Just let everyone share their opinion without attacking them.

     

    And by the way I'm indifferent. My first thought was the actor wanted his face to be shown at least for some portion of the movie, and that he'll have the hood or dome for a part of the movie. Still looking forward to it.

  2. I sent mine a while back too. I foolishly sent a money order without copying anything. I sent the Doc order and the crystal alien order the same day. I've already gotten the crystal alien (about a month ago). If I don't get Doc I'll be extremely po'd because I've been buying almost every 25th figure and Doc is one of my favorites. I'd say I sent the order 2 months ago. Good to know I'm not the only one who is having a problem. Hopefully Hasbro works this all out. Good luck everyone...

  3. Bazooka and Mutt and Junkyard were my biggest wants. I figured Bazooka was in the pipeline since he's pretty popular (and I can't wait to find him now, he's going to my favorite, they made him perfect!) but seeing Mutt coming up real soon has me really excited. I figured it'd take a long time to get him since they just made that pretty good DTC figure. This one is a million times cooler though.

     

    I'd really like to see Bulletproof and the Headhunters from DEF, but I doubt they'll get made.

  4. Hi, haven't posted in a long while but I'm still very much a GI Joe fan. The 25th anniversary has been incredible. Anyway I recently moved my collection and the pieces all scattered. I'm matched up all the figure's accessories and when all was said and done only Shipwreck is missing a pistol, but I also have one left over which doesn't belong to him but I can't figure out who it goes to. I only have 25th anniversary weapons here so it's not pre 25th. I'm hoping that I accidentally gave shipwreck's pistol to whomever this pistol belongs to.

     

    As far as pistols goes it's not all that different but the main thing I noticed that separates it from other pistols is that it has a small circle and a star inside the circle on the grip. It's a black pistol of course.

     

    I searched yojoe for about an hour but I can't find it. I'll try and take a pic soon. Any help is very much appreciated.

  5. Yeah I've checked out your thundercats on your site before the article. It was the first toyfare I picked up in ages, which coincidentally I dropped the magazine because they gave the thundercats cartoon a poor rating a few years ago. To be honest when I read the magazine I didn't realize it was your same tygra, I think the pics you have on your site look better than the one you submitted to toyfare. Congrats on being published though. I once got psycho letter of the month for demanding a cops n crooks revival. It appears they dropped that bit since then.

     

    Man I would kill for that panthro.

  6. Yeah I dunno what's going on. I bought $100 worth of marvel legends and it says they were delivered but I never got them. He said he filed a claim but no one has contacted me. Can't get a hold of him now. I guess I'm out 100 bones and no marvel legends to show for it. Shame.

  7. Not gonna happen. There's a better chance of getting carnage and radical than cerebus. In fact the old issue #8 has been redone without cerebus in it. I guess Mirage and Sim had a disagreement about royalties for that issue (and reprinting it) so they just completely redid it. Plus Sim doesn't come off as the kind of guy that would want an action figure of his creation.

     

    I hope you all saw the figure on the main page. I read on another board that it's the four horsemen making these figures! Also another site has posted a proto pic of mikey's head sculpt, which is slightly different from Leos. The figures are coming with bases too. Google fifth turtle blog to see all these pictures.

  8. Man i'm getting a little upset here. I've only been buying wave 2 for the monkeyman baf, but the four armed guy and judge death both broke at the legs. I don't play with the toys, and both happened only minutes out of the package. I'm going to just toss them, I got what I wanted (monkeyman).

  9. These podcasts are great, great job ENI/JayC! My marvel legends toy buying has decreased quite a lot since Hasbro took over, but I'm glad to know that these guys are fans and seem to want to do a better job. Maybe in a few waves they'll be worth buying again. Spiral looked great from the first video (just watched both for the first time). Good PR for Hasbro, something for us bored fans to watch, keep it up!

  10. I guess there's 2 releases, the original release and a newer one that doesn't come with a display base. There's also a third release that's somewhat different, it has a metallic red chest on the figure, sorta lame. Comes in the new power rangers show packaging (operation overdrive?)

     

    I don't follow power rangers, but I did pick up this mmpr figure because I was a fan of the original show but nothing else. I like this one because the unrealistic muscles remind me of the snes video game. They also have some 5 packs with more realsitic show accurate rangers and there's an mmpr one in there, it looks great but not worth $25 for vinyl 3 points of articulation figures.

     

    I hope they do the other rangers too, I really want a new blue and black ranger, and a hot sexy pink and yellow, and an even badass green/white. I also want all the old weird bad guys like zedd and that pig that eats people.

  11. This is a great line made mediocre due to so many repaints/reissues/revisions of characters. Why are we getting like the 5th cobra commander? It's a new sculpt too which is sort of annoying. Then Rock N Roll an awesome character gets the shaft and is just a repaint of Duke. Those wrists are really flimsy and I don't really like the flint/duke mold. Torpedo looks awesome but we'll have to wait until some non-photoshop images show up to see what he really looks like.

     

    PS: Cobra Commander looks to have the new redesigned hips. They look more like marvel legend ball joints without the actual ball. Doesn't look to bad and I'll appreciate the extra movement.

  12. I'm not fond of the face, mainly the elongated chin. Both modes are really streamlined. It's neat that you can't really tell what he transforms into when in robot mode. This will be a cool line, but I'm going to try my hardest to not buy any. My only problem, which isn't with the toyline/cartoon, is space. I could probably afford these if I wanted, but finding a place for them will be tough since they won't fit with any of my other Transformers.

  13. That's a pretty vague term since I know they don't mean all characters in a literal sense. For example there's no way we're getting Jack Kirby from Donatello's micro issue.

     

    Besides I'm still waiting on NECA's promise of the four ghostbusters from the ghostbusters line. That's like making this tmnt line without the turtles. If they were willing to do without the GB I'm sure they don't give a crap for two lame characters like carnage and radical.

     

    I wouldn't want to stop anyone from getting what they want, but don't get your hopes up.

  14. I'm just saying that I'm not sure will NECA be able to get the rights for movie turtles or cartoon turtles.

     

    Playmates doesn't have any say in what NECA could make really. It's all up to Mirage, or more specifically, Peter Laird. I could see him rejecting an old cartoon line, but I don't think he'd have anything against a movie line. Keep in mind that Playmates never made toys for the first movie, the movie star line was based on the second movie.s

  15. leonardo,

    I really don't know how the license for TMNT is. Playmates made old movie TMNT figures and now the new CGI film based figures. They even tried to make turtle figures based on the toon (not 100% toon accurate but they called in toon turtles. It's a line i'm still trying to collect). My point is I'm not sure they can get the license but I'm sure the playmates, a kid toy company, won't be making comic based TMNT figures. The original comics are violent and not suitable for kids.

     

    Huh? I'm not talking about Playmates. I'm talking about NECA, which is what this thread is about. The turtle shown is a prototype for an original comic book toy line. I was saying if its successful, and if NECA decides to continue the line, they'd probably start doing high quality original movie turtles, or start doing maquette type toys of the original cartoon, rather than dig into obscure characters like complete carnage and radical. Playmates is doing alien fighters or some crap, they can suck it like their sexually ambiguous name.

     

    Also regarding Karai, I don't believe she was shredder's daughter in the original comics, though I could be wrong. I think she was just the leader of the Japanese foot clan. The new cartoon made her Shredder's daughter. I always remember her from TMNT tournament fighters personally.
