Playmates TMNT Movie figures and Nickelodeon waves

The new figures can't be far off.

Exhibit A) Playmates has updated their site with bios for Rahzar, Dojo Splinter, Newtralizer and Slash.

Exhibit B) "Prototype" figs from this Chinese onseller of Movie Raph, Newtralizer and Slash. Although they look less like protos and more like someone just pocketed a couple of QA rejects.

I still want Classics Bebop and Rocksteady!

i still want the april and dammit i have to get it from the USA

and the coloured ooze that we cant get here Orange, yellow, Green, Blue i must have

Slightly OT...

I actually saw Cockroach Terminator on the shelf for tge first time on Saturday at Big W. They also had the storage shell Turtles, Casey Jones and Kirby Bat.

Also, a little while ago, Fwoosh wrote about some Hong Kong eBay sellers that had packs of 8 Mousers loose (all light silver which is my preferred color) for pretty cheap. Mine came the other day and I cannot tell the difference between them and the legit ones. Brought my Mouser army up to a respectable 14.

I picked up Kirby Bat and Casey from Toyworld. That's the last of the new figures until the wave with Newtralizer, etc, comes out.

Is Mutagen Man in that wave? That's the only one I want (maybe Casey as well). But not for anymore than $15. I'd prefer less (like when Kmart had Mousers for $10, I grabbed a couple of packs).

I believe so, together with Squirrelananoid (?).

Anyone got a spare April that they may want to hook a fellow collector with.

Ohh and I bought a leo flinger yesterday from Kmart which was great to see on the shelf.

And also picked up a shogun triceretron was super excited

There is an abundance of Aprils available from Ebay sellers located in China and Hong Kong at the moment.

Re: Movie Figures

I spotted the large figures and the larger "action feature" figures in Target. No sign of the standard 5" action figures or the movie's version of the Party Van. They may be holding those for Target's upcoming toy sale.

Saw the regular figures at Target today. They had all of them (including April). Look pretty meh.

Was contemplating getting the 4 turtles but they just seem too miniature. Raphael seems to be way beefier than the rest, I assume that's supposed to be that way in the movie? He actually looks ok but the others look too dimunitive next to him so I'll pass and wait until these are half price or something.

The TMNT "Classic Collection" series 3 action figures (1990 live action movie) are now on Amazon.com for $20 each. With postage to Australia, they work out to be around $25 each.

Urgh. Why can't they get the Bebop and Rocksteady?

^^^^

I know! And they're still a bit pricey on Ebay.

Re: Bebop and Rocksteady

I found what appears to be a cheap deal on Ebay:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Playmates-Classic-Collection-TMNT-ROCKSTEADY-BEBOP-Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-/201153353134?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item2ed5ac95ae#ht_159wt_925

Item No: 201153353134

Please note that I am NOT endorsing this seller. I've never purchased from them before, so I have no idea what the final product will be (or if it will arrive), but after waiting so long to see these locally, I took a risk and placed an order.

Alternatively, fans could try contacting Playmates' Australian distributor (Headstart International: http://headstartint.com/ ).

^^^took the plunge, too. Figured why not. Cheers for the link.

Have yours arrived X? Mine came today. Very nice quality figs.

Hmmmmmm. No, not yet.

But, I'm glad to hear that you received yours and that the quality is good. Does your Rocksteady have the corrected shins?

I did receive my 1990 Live Action turtles from Amazon the other day. I haven't opened them, but they look pretty decent (apart from Raphael's bicep appearing stressed/twisted in the packaging). I'll definitely be doing TheFwoosh head/bandana swaps when I open them.

Corrected shins? I didn't pay attention to this fiasco so I have no idea.

K-Mart has a four-pack of the "movie" versions of the turtles for $39 in their latest catalogue:

Got Squirrelanoid at Big W yesterday.

Received mine. I haven't opened them yet, but they're clearly the genuine article. I noticed that the seller has since increased the price, probably due to the quick sell-outs of the earlier stock.

I also received and opened my 1990 live action movie turtles which I ordered from Amazon. I like them much better in-hand than any photos I'd seen online. In particular, Leo's face sculpt/mouth expression is much better in person. I was all set to swap the bandanas around, but I actually don't mind the existing faces. I'll probably still swap Mikey and Don, but Leo and Raph aren't too bad.

Picked up Classics Bebop from TRU Moore Park $20.
I asked them to look for Rocksteady as there was none on the shelf, but they couldn't find any.

Lol. I can't believe they've been released in Australia! And for only $20!

This is the power I have. As soon as I buy something that's hard to get, it turns up everywhere.

I went to see if Rocksteady was out but no dice. They said stock hasn't come in yet.

Also the price for Bebop has been corrected to $25, only the original 4 turtles are $20 now.
