HOLY CRAP!!! THAT THING IS AMAZING!!!! Fantasic work! You nailed him! Got any of the NECA turtles handy? I'd love to see some side by side pics of them taking on your Super Shredder Can't say enough how awesome this is. The sculpting and painting is dead on, great work with the spikes.

Great work Fugayzie! You nailed it! That looks like Marvel universe Hulk for the base right? So he's 3 & 3/4 inch scale? That is some incredible sculpting detail you put on a figure that small! Fantastic work! -
Nevermind I guess this has been found on all of the Metalheads as I was rudely told at the Technodrome. Sorry if this was redundant guys, it was the first time I had actually come across a Metalhead so far since my area's selection sucks.
-
Not sure if this has been noticed or reported yet, if so sorry for bringing it up again, I didn't see it anywhere. I found Metalhead today, and the 2 I found had a card error. On the back where it shows all of the other figures, they had a picture of Raph for both Raphael and Michelangelo. Is anybody else seeing this on the Metalheads they've found, or is it confined to a certain production run?

I'm sure most of you have seen this site now, but for those of you haven't check it out here: http://idwlimited.com/ It's set up to be sort of a direct shop to IDW comic merchandise and special limited edition items, like Sketches on blank variants, signed copies, and limited print run deluxe editions of hardcovers. The site launched earlier this month and so far I think it's been a huge success. The biggest thing they have done is released limited edition hardcovers of the first arc of their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Hardcover ongoing series. TMNT has been their highest selling book since it started last August. So they released three limited edition version of the first trade, Change is Constant. I Blue Label Edition limited to 10 copies, a Black Label Edition limited to 25 copies, and a Red Label Edition limited to 175 copies. The Blue & Black Label Editions both sold out on the first day, there are still a few copies of the Red Label left. Each hardcover individually numbered out of the print run, comes with a slipcase, has extra sketch pages and layouts in the back, comes with a bound in cardstock template signed by writer Tom Waltz, co-writer & TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman, and Ongoing artist Dan Duncan. Each copy also comes with a one of a kind Dan Duncan 9x12 sketch. The Red Label Editions include a single character, the blue have the whole team. My wife bought me a Red Label Edition yesterday for Christmas. You can check out pictures here of the Red Label Edition. It's well worth the $125 price tag in my opinion. http://idwlimited.com/books/tmntv1-deluxe-red.html Anybody else here interested in these?

New Figures from Nickolodean show
KNEEL_b4_ZOD replied to Joker08's topic in Properties From The 80 & 90's
I picked up Raph & Donnie this weekend from Target. Here in Central Iowa the Turtles have been very hard to find, out of the 4 Wal Marts I frequent in the Des Moines area, only 1 of them has any Turtle stuff, and that just showed up this week. It was about half of wave 1 that they had out thats it. They only had Raph, April, Splinter, and Kraang. No sign of the other 3 turtles, foot ninjas, or Shredder. Target on the other hand has had all of wave 1 out for a while, but of the 3 Targets I check, no sign of Wave 2 yet. I really like the articulation the figures however the paint apps are pretty horrific. Of the figures I've seen, you really have to examine each carded figure carefully, I've seen the hand wraps completely unpainted on some or terribly painted, and many of the paint jobs on the head bands have about an 1/8 of an inch area both above and below where they painted the skin orange, purple, or red, and I've also seen some of the elbow pads only half painted. There is some spotty QA on the quality of the paint application to these figures, which is too bad. The figures really are pretty great poseability wise, and I'm pretty pleased that they are the same height as the original Turtles from Playmates. I also really dig the green shade used on Donnie's skin and also the color of Mikey. I haven't come acrossed a Leo yet, hopefully I'll find one this week. I'm glad they went with different colored skin on the toys for each of the turtles. -
That definitely makes thing easier and better for shopping there, I might have to take advantage of their better selection using their price match policy.

I can see us having to wait a bit for a Grifter figure since his solo book is getting cancelled, I'm gonna guess we'll have to wait for a whole Team Seven wave or boxset.
-
It's hard to believe that the simple flat plastic stands could really add that much to costs, thats got to be about 2 cents worth of plastic. I'll gladly pay 20.01 instead of 19.99 for a figure to get a stand with with it.

John - Jim Lawson's Dragonfly
KNEEL_b4_ZOD replied to FUGAYZIE's topic in Properties From The 80 & 90's
Good deal, I dug Dooney's art for the first collected Archie stuff, I'd love to see both Dooney and Lawson get the chance to do some variants on IDW's Ongoing series or Micro-Series books. -
They aren't going to air new Green Lantern episodes and re-air older Young Justice episodes in the block, fact is they don't have enough Invasion episodes to do that with. And yes they can go back, pull out the Milestone characters in those scenes and replace them, yes it would take some work and time, that certainly would explain the delay. Producers of the shows might not be aware of licensing rights and deals of specific characters in the property, thats nothing new, DC has dropped the ball on things like this before, its possible they let this one slip and caught it late, it happens, and the Producers of the show could have been the last to know. Yes CN sucks, and you could well be right, I'm not saying these rumors are fact, but I think all of the reasons for it not being true that you outline could be overturned or defeated. It seems a little more than coincidence that they pull the one Milestone character from the cover of the comic issue, when rumors about those characters were already swirling. Neither DC or CN seem to be too forthcoming with answers on the subject, so unfortunately we may just have to wait and see what happens with the series in January.

The continuity is 99.9% untouched, especially regarding Hal. He is back in a Green Lantern Uniform courtesy of Sinestro up to issue #12 & the annual, you really need to read those! Hal's continuity is pretty much untouched since Johns took over, so Rebirth-GL-Sinestro Corps War-Blackest Night-War of Green Lanterns is all still in continuity. There has been a slight tweaking to Guy's past, as it seems his time as a member of the Justice League/JL International in the late 80's-early 90's seems to be erased, as he doesn't recognize his long time teammate Martian Manhunter, other than that it's a direction continuation of GLC Recharge-Green Lantern Corps-War of Green Lanterns. Kyle's continuity is pretty much untouched as well, however they put a timeline on how long he's been a Green Lantern. They say he's only been a Green Lantern for 2 years, which is something I have a problem with. That means that the events from Green Lantern #50 in 1993 to the present all occurred in 2 years. That means Hal went crazy as Parallax & killed the Corps, Kyle became the Torchbearer Green Lantern, the last of the Corps,

Nothing new in my area when I checked, heck Wal Mart hasn't even stocked wave 1 yet here, got to go to Target if you want Turtles or anything DC or Mattel. Wal Marts in the Des Moines area have become almost exclusively Hasbro stocked, if you're looking for Playmates, Mattel, or Banzai you have to go to TRU or Target. That being said, I really want Metalhead, not really interested in Dogpound or Fishface
