Shredder's Revenge versions of the Turtles may be coming
It was leaked in Earth Pandora, aka, the land down under. Unfortunately for Walkabout's compatriots, PLAYMATES has decided to keep this set US only, that is IF they actually release it.
They're the vanilla Turtles with "cel shading" and toon-inspired colors. It's the epitome of laziness, or Tuesday for Playmates toys.
The main issue to me is that these are the exact same Turtles from the Ultimate edition of the game. I'm not gonna lie, the set looks pretty good. Problem is that it doesn't fit with the existing toys.
Playmates needs to stop ⅛assing things. If they wanna do vintage releases or vintage styled releases, they need to put some effort into it. New sculpts compatible with the old toys would be a start.
Seriously, the vanilla Turtles with newer headsculpts or reuse some of the wacky action, storage shell, or talking turtles but them painted in toon colors could work.
Rocksteady in toon colors with the wacky action head and a new bandolier would be an enticing new release. Bebop with a new head and toon accurate glasses would be enticing.
Ninja April head, crotch, and Torso with the Mitsu arms and legs a vintageized Karai can make. Boom new character.
Genghis repaint with Splinter bow a Rasputin can make
Napoleon repaint with Panda Khan are an Attila can make.
Repainted Traag limbs on a new Torso with head a Granitor can make.
Toon accurate repaints of Burne and Irma are a no brainer.
But you know what I'd kill for? A Prototype accurate Pizzaface.
