so neat, he comes with Ch'rell but not a spot to put him, so he can still have an ab crunch. either way he looks damn fine. i'll be interested in seeing comparisons with the previous shredder.

>>11352662 These look good. I really only want an April after this wave and I’m done with S7 after that, there’s some cool character designs in 2003 but I don’t have enough connection to want more, even this foot soldier I could probably do without.

The ball joints in the waist pop apart easily, and I had to use a lot of heat to get the hands to swap, but that's minor stuff. The figures move well and pose well, I was quite pleased with Bebop and Rocksteady, and I've heard good about the Turtles. The triceratons should be good too, I hope.

my big complaint with it is that none of the belts/overlays really fit snugly in place so some parts can feel extremely fiddly since they move any time you touch them, but its hardly a dealbreaker and I would rather these parts be loose than glued in place and risk breaking every time you use articulation

It is robo shredder but it doesn't have the stomach opening. And angry Ch'rell is only available for the whole wave preorder.
Well, at least they included smiling ch'rell to imply it's a robot. Hopefully they'll do other ones in the next wave or two and I can collect facial expressions like with the vintage Krang.

Kinda weird that playmates won't let them finish the teams considering they could then do their own version later and pretend it's partly for those who "missed out".

Anonymous
>>11353302 to give you a brief rundown: for the most part S7 seems great, but it's the little things. Lots of breakages, some tight joints by far more extremely loose joints. Bad weapon proportioning for some bad guys. A baffling choice for anyone wearing a shell, to have an internal pelvis piece that goes all the way up inside the shell and attached with a ball joint, which is super loose. wrong colors on Ace Duck. uhhh some people don't like April's waxy skin (I like it, it's translucent like real skin). and... there's some questionable choices of extra heads when extra accessories would have worked better, or heads that come apart so you'd only have to replace part of it and keep the cost down.
there's a few other issues but I'm having trouble thinking of them. Most of their mistakes they've tried to make up for. Like Raph's sai were always bent, so they continually put more replacement sai in this or that.

>>11353315 It's not like they're horrible but people seem to complain about the molds on the sculpts being pretty obvious with like a line down the middle of Minus One Godzilla.

Quoted By:
>>11353320 oh Triceraton's tiny hands.. not awful but still not what they should be
Krang's extremely loose walker legs that you can't tighten because they're normal joints. Most guys have pinned hips which are a terrible idea and it's hard but not impossible to tighten them. lotta floor polish in use. and Space Cadet Raph's torso is too small, as if the space suit were barely a thin layer over his shell. That's all I can think of.
Anonymous
>>11353322 Oof, yeah, that's never good. we tolerated that shit in the 90s but it's unacceptable these days.
oh that also reminds me, obvious break in the sculpt on the faces for... at least Wingnut, because that makes it easier to assemble the face and paint the teeth i guess. and Leatherhead's body looks weird.

So does the license allow them to make figures from the Paramount movies? I'd rather have those versions of Bebop and Rocksteady and those are literally the only figures from those movies that I'd want. Or would this be a scenario where they can't make those without also making the turtles?

Which kinda works for a pig, they've got kinda squinty, light-sensitive eyes. but he was wearing them already as a punk, because 80s multiethnic thugs were always wearing creative shit like that, chain belts, mohawks, bootknives... apparently a knee brace.

There were so many unsubtle horror movie homages and pop culture references, it actually took me out of the show. And I get it, mutation is body horror, TMNT has always had the occasional nod to horror with episode names and shit like the Pizza Monsters, and Baxter was obviously inspired by The Fly. But it just kept going and going, and getting worse the whole time.
The Mom-Thing episode was alright, and Within the Woods was obviously inspired by the Bloodsucker arc of the comic, but the design for The Creep was so on the nose, it wasn't funny. Dream Beavers with Robert Englund was starting to push it too far. Fucking Napoleon Bonafrog/Dynamite was painful and cringeworthy, and nearly made me drop the series there. Race With the Demon was the final straw. Dumbest shit ever, and caused me to turn it off partway through the episode and drop the series until I caught an episode of season 4 randomly one day and it wasn't complete shit.

I can understand what they were going for with all three of these characters, emphasizing the teenage aspect, but holy fuck did Donnie get done dirty.

>>11356285 point is, 2012 mike was unsuited to be on a team of warriors. he needed to be in special ed.
Raph's whininess wasn't appropriate teen angst, it was bullshit like being afraid of cockroaches
COCKROACHES.
he lives in a SEWER. he is a TURTLE. how the actual fuck.
>nerdy Don ehhhhhhh of all the 'nerd Don' archetypes they've done since the shitty Bay movie, I like 2012 the most. he's charming. I feel for him. But that's what Mike is supposed to be. Nobody understands michelangelo.. he's a nerd. a very smart, bright nerd that loves comic books and hates working hard or practicing because those are BORING when you're smart.

not saying a huge spider popping up in the car doesn't cause them to crash just from the surprise of it, but they are fuckin casual about the things. They don't get the fear paralysis we get, which Raph exhibits in the 2012 show. something you have to fucking fight within yourself to even MOVE. that is not how that works. He's had enough exposure therapy for 15 years in a sewer for it to not be that way anymore.

Dad has lived in the bush for close to half his life, and he's fucking terrified of spiders. Even harmless ones like Huntsmans. He will nuke the fuckers with half a can of fly spray. So for some people, it doesn't matter how much they are exposed to them. That primal fear just won't go away.

Raph was unable to do shit. he wasn't violently reacting to the bug by attacking, he was paralyzed. that's the kind of fear -i- used to have about spiders. until house-centipedes usurped that. And I don't even have that about house-centipedes anymore because HUGE house-centipedes have gained that spot. The ones with a body the size of a britecrawler. I see those, i'm petrified.
