Remember the Mirage Boxset I bought and the 2 vintage Boxsets I skipped? Playmates is at it again with 2012 Turtles this time... No love for 2003 it seems... or 2009 for that matter. I'm not even going to mention the Next Mutation.
This set has the Turtles, Splinter, and Shredder...
There is a peculiar thing I remember from this line's Shredder figureS. Each Shredder was missing a Key point of articulation: The Normal Shredder has elbow articulation but no KNEE articulation. The SDCC Shredder with vac metal helmet and spikes has articulated knees but no ELBOW articulation... Playmates could've fixed the issue by mixing and matching BOTH Shredder figures and giving fans a more worthy Shredder... but no. It's the same first release Shredder.
Can I get a naked gun clip now?
I don't want to be making fun of your laziness, but you leave me no choice. You could be doing so much better but for some reason you don't even want to put any effort on your toys. You're reaching the point where I'm starting to wish that y'all didn't have the master toy license anymore. You're doing jack shit with the license. So you don't want to do the superarticulated toy thing, fine... How about a continuation to the original line? The "Lost Waves" if you will.
Like say a wave with Karai, Elite Foot Ninja, Granitor, the basic four turtles (with red bandanas, brown belts and pads), and after dealing with Stan Sakai, a proper Ronin version of Usagi.
Second wave could have a Mirage repaint of Normal shredder but instead of a cape he gets a cloth shirt. A Red Sky inspired April, a Mirage Casey with removable mask, Lord Dregg, a Silver and white Fugitoid, toon color repaint of Burne, a proper toon Splinter, and a Genghis repaint for Rasputin.
Then reissue the Mutatin figures and add a Mutatin Baxter to the mix...
Put on some freaking effort!!
