TMNT news!
>Brian says he has 9 waves planned so far, and Wave 5 goes up for pre-order next month.
>Possibly some Turtles crossover figures such as Star Trek or another Turtle crossover are happening. Brian says one is very close to happening since he has licenses for other properties and is trying to sign the deal. It's unknown what the crossover is, but Brian said it could be something that was supposed to happen in the vintage line, but never did.
>He's going to make toys based on unproduced figures, but they wont be in Waves 5 or 6 and be things that haven't been made before, such as finishing out the Punk Frogs, or making Playmates style versions of characters who appeared in the cartoon, but never appeared in the toys.
>Brian can make characters from the cartoons, but it seems that he and Randy at Neca have a gentleman's agreement to not step on each other's toes.
>He says he wants to make characters who appeared in comics that didn't get made in the vintage toys and make deep cut characters that would surprise you. He says he also has the rights to Archie Comics characters and may possibly have some rights to other characters, besides Usagi Yojimbo, which means he could be doing characters like Ninjara.
>Metal Head will have some vac-metal parts on him and might have light piping also, but Brian wasn't sure on the light piping.
>Brian discussed April and said a lot of her figure was redesigned to please coomers, because she was one of those characters who turned boys into men.
>Says he can't show her yet until he can show people test shots of wave 3, but says it'll be shown hopefully soon. He says it's "radically different in a good way."
>There's also another con exclusive like the glow-in-dark Baxter! This will more than likely be some kind of repaint of a previous figure and therefore something you could live without.
