I guess Storm Collectibles is the only company that hasn't made TMNT toys yet...
Playmates has, and the less we talk about Playmates, the better. Mattel has... through Mega Bloks, but they have done TMNT. Obviously, NECA has made TMNT... Keno will come with a scooter. Obviously Super7 has made TMNT (and Playmates hates it). Revoltech made some 2012 Turtles. Bandai did for their SH Figuarts line... I know because those are my Toon Turtles. Hasbro did some Morphinominal Turtles. It seems that storm Collectibles is the only one left to make Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys, since Todd McFarlane seems to be the one that's going to make the new movie Turtles... Y'kow, the Seth Rogen Turtles.
The listing shown at toynewsi even mentions role play items and a playset, so I guess these will be 5" kids toys. This is raising some alarms in the back of my head. Kids toys is Playmates territory. I can't believe that Playmates would let McFarlane enter their turf like that. I would understand if Todd was making Injustice Turtles or Batman vs TMNT figures due to the DC connection, but Role Playing items and a Playset? This most likely has to be a mistake...
You know what would be cool? A line of TMNT made in Todd McFarlane style...
4 turtles, Splinter, April, Casey, Shredder, Krang, Rocksteady, Bebop, Foot Soldier, and Karai. Maybe add a couple more characters to be able to have 4 waves, 2 Oversized figures, extra foot soldier 2 packs. Todd can get reuse with mirage recolors, B&W recolors. He has options, but we need to see how the Rogen Turtles will look like.
