Now I wish to fulfill my childhood desires...
Any updates on where I can grab hold of the new series, if not the original Playmates version?

Hi guys!! Have been dreaming to own TMNT figures since I was a kid, but never had any...
Now I wish to fulfill my childhood desires... Any updates on where I can grab hold of the new series, if not the original Playmates version? |

Lolz.... Indeed... I spent like 30 minutes going through the lot... Some have rather distorted belt buckles (where the initials is)... And some of them have rather crossed eyes.. Though most have good sets of eyes..
I waited like 20 years to have my own TMNT... Bought the Neca version sometime back but it didn't come close to the Playmate Classics... RM320 well spent! I am a happy man..... This post has been edited by keypad: Jun 2 2013, 03:55 AM |

Now that I have them I have another dilemma.... I really want to take them out of the box and pose them about.... However there's another part of me not willing to unbox them coz I saw how much the original issue values after 20 years under mint, boxed condition....
Will this edition be valueable one day? I bet they'll reissue the classics again in future..... |

QUOTE(Pliskin @ Jun 2 2013, 02:26 PM) Simple solution bro..just buy another set! I was trying to coax my girl to get me a second set, in which she smirked disapprovingly... Hehe..Ok, jokes aside, I think in 20 years time it will NOT be worth that much..it's now fetching a high price coz the current adults went thru the TMNT craze 20 years ago..now with purchasing power, we tend to collect them based on nostalgia...but the kids today dun hav the chance to watch the classic TMNT, they would not be able to relate when they're adults later..makes sense, no? Wat you mentioned makes perfect sense.. I'm just fulfilling my childhood desires... Hmmm.... |

I have checked out the movie released action figures in TRU Sunway this evening. The quality in 5" figures are kinda disappointing. Colours are kinda messed up, the molded scalp on Leonardo and Michealangelo are a little bit offset in placemend to their heads. The first glance did not trigger any desire to bring them home....
The 11" however is just super nice... Not too sure of it's articulation points.... Are they poseable as in the classic Playmates relaunch? At RM129.90, it is a turnoff for me to get them... It doesn't excite me as much as the Classic relaunch did to me... Somehow as a childhood fan of TMNT, my inner voice is telling me to grab hold of each figure, one at a time every month (so that the missus doesn't jump at me....) Anyone got their 11" yet...? |

Btw I just realised that Raphael is not available in TRU Sunway Pyramid.... What's making it a highly sought after turtle between the 4?

QUOTE(King83 @ Aug 11 2014, 01:40 PM) Raphael has been the fan favourite since a very long time.... Lolz... Thanks for the info bro... I thought I read about some scalpers trying to make some quick buck with Raphael's figure.... The retros also, Raphael sold out first. and if you've seen the movie, » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « There are still Raphs in 1 Utama TRU I am still contemplating about getting the 11 inches movie figures... But too darn expensive... Currently I have 3 different Turtle sets in my hand... Only the latest one bought yesterday were unboxed.. My Playmates classics and also NECA releases are too precious to play with.. Hehe... |
