Krang is good except for the stupid hands (soft rubbery plastic). I'm definitely picking that Shredder.

Krange is awesome. Looks incredible. Hips articulation is limited and while the hands LOOK amazing, the soft rubber is annoying. I'd still recommend it to anyone. Probably skip shredder though. Too tall.

Nothing yet. Lunar Toy Store, which kinda made the first Gokin TMNT really popular, said they haven't heard anything yet.

I haven't been this excited for a toy in years. The NT-01-S is up at LTS. Anyone getting it? The chrome doesn't bother me too much ;after all, it *is* a robot.

Damn, ordered in the old edition last week not knowing about this, I think it's pretty cool that they have tried to rectify some of the flaws of the previous build though.

>>5299996
Shredder looks good, I'm not sure if this is still the case but the early mold that they have shown off (the photo you have provided is a CG estimate) show a weird line pattern on the legs that I find a little offputting. I will have to wait until a fully painted version is shown to judge, but that may be a deal breaker for me.

I can't get down with those textured grooves in his armor, looks awful to me. And his eyes look comically surprised in the non-lit-up pic.

I was so set on getting this shredder since he was probably the only decent one we were getting, but now that figuarts is making show turtles I'm not so sure. Do I wait and see if we get a cheaper one from them or bet all on Gokin?

I'm glad Bandai is making Turtles, but not so glad it's the show version.

Well, that depends. Assuming Figuarts does a show Shredder it will probably look like he did in that show, which aesthetically doesn't really match with the classic turtle line that playmate released, personally my collection suits the more serious Gokin design so I'm happy to pick that up.

>>5301990
Shredder isn't out yet, you can preorder the new version of this Krang figure at lunartoys.

I picked up my Krang on ebay, once the shredder sells out from online storefronts (which it will, very quickly) your best bet would also be ebay.

5 more years and the kids who grew up on the nick show should be old enough to start buying nostalgia figures, lol.

I kind of hate those designs, If I wanted a more "modern" take on the turtles I'd invest in the official Kevin Eastman line coming out.

It's kind of dodgy to call them true show versions. The original cartoon had a few quirks with its character model sheets and more often than not they'd have a hard line on their noses that represent very basic beaks. And their faces wouldn't always be as friendly and bubbly as the SHF prototypes. It would be an understatement to call the animation of the old cartoon a complete mess. So the SHF are more accurately described as the TMNT as they'd appear on merchandise and occasionally on the show.

That's true. Either way, still not my favorite iteration. And that's coming from someone who grew up with the show in the '80s.

LOL NO
The miniseries/movie would actually be when they're most on model, like the super high quality intro.

This guy has it right

And even then, the style you see on the Figuart turtles is from the 90s or later.
It's basically the Archie Comics style.

They're in scale with the classis figures. Hell, Shedder's weapons are designed for them even.

If I were to get Shredder (I won't, but "if") it would be specifically for the sake of pairing it with the Classics Collection. At a solid 6"+ in height the CC's are really closer to 1/10 scale than 1/12 by a considerable amount, so the huge gokin Shredder would be pretty tolerable.

Nah, it's the modern "retro" stock art style popularized by Viacom when the property was sold. Pic related.

Krang, sure, but not Shredder. He's too tall. Like at least an inch or two too tall.

Shredder has often been portrayed as particularly tall, and the turtles short, to me I think the size difference is tolerable.

Tolerable, maybe, but not necessarily accurate. I don't think it'll stop me from getting him, but it does chap my ass a little bit.

Eh, I don't mind a hulking Krang and Shredder. I'll be using these with my NECA Turtles, so I already prefer my TMNT short and villains tall.
