Beautiful, wasted Four Horsemen sculpts. A cardinal sin in the religion of Toyanity.

I'm very much digging the Classics figures. I would have preferred slightly bigger muscles as a nod to the vintage toys, but that's just me. Bring on Bebop and Rocksteady!

Also, +10 nerd points for the mention of the Palladium RPG.

I am actually ecstatic so many people remember it, I just bought it again from Half Price Books for $1.25

Actually it's hard to make out, and I didn't notice it at first, but the new Krang figure is in the playset picture. From what I can see He has a body the size of the normal human figures and it appears to resemble a Terminator endoskeleton with Krang in the chest as usual.

I like the Nick versions better. Never was much into the Fred Wolf cartoony Turtles with pupils in their eyes and letters on their belts.

It's a shame about the NECA Foot soldiers.

I STILL play Palladium RPG games with my friends. It all started with TMNT and Other Strangeness.

I almost forgot they were still in business and then found out the Robotech RPG line was still going and got the Shadow Chronicles RPG for Christmas.

I'll only be getting the classics - I've no room for anything else!

**wyldman11** · February 1, 2012, 02:30pm

The Dragon Cycle specifically says Foot Soldier as the action figure under it.

Not to be outdone, the evil Foot Clan have their own vehicle in the form of the Dragon Bike. It comes with an exclusive helmet-sporting Foot Soldier figure and he'll do a sweet 360 flip over the handlebars of the bike with the push of a button.

I do like the new Turtles, I just don't know if I am going to be able to do them or not is the problem.

You mean the best Ninja Turtles cartoon of all time!

Man, those pics of the Neca Shredder and Foot Ninja look incredible. It almost brings a tear to my eye that it did not continue. It is awesome that Turtles is back with new figures, but they kinda never went away. Can't wait for the new show.

Looking at these figures my Turtles Jones is going crazy. I love the classic figures and I am really excited for the new ones. It looks like Classic Mikey has chain links on his nunchuks. I'm SOLD!

Funny I bought that book too not knowing what it was at all!

I never played a RPG so essentially the book was used by me as an encyclopedia of sorts

I love my Neca Turtles, but these are the Turtles I grew up with and they're lovely. Really hope they crank out Shredder.

Amazeballs.

**Rhanen** · February 1, 2012, 03:53pm

Just as ThunderCats Classics, I do really like TMNT Classics; even when I wasn't a fan of the cartoon.
Shredder, Krang w/Android, Bebop, RockSteady & Baxter Stockman would be great figures if they have around 30 points of articulation and are done in a different scale.

Very nice to see the sewer playset as something that has been seen back in the 80's, but not so fond of the new turtles design though.

**MOTU_Maniac** · February 1, 2012, 04:04pm

Those TMNT Classics look AWESOME!!!

Has it been announced when they come out?

**Grimbot** · February 1, 2012, 04:05pm

Classics look fantastic!

Nicktoons Splinter and Krang are bizarre. Is Splinter no longer a rat? Is Krang mutating into a lobster?

Splinter looks fine to me (albeit different than we are used to seeing him), Krang looks strange. Like C3PO with an alien middle

OMG LOVE the classics packaging

MTV Shows

Me too! I was at summer camp in 1990 and someone had the book and any free time we had that's all we did was absorb the info in that book. The art was great and I loved the pictures of the weapons.

**byinfernoslight** · February 1, 2012, 04:51pm

10-11 inches for the Classics? That's enormous!

Interesting that comic 'classics' are a possibility...

**Pixel Dan** · February 1, 2012, 04:54pm

Wait...did he say those figures were 10" - 11" tall? Uh oh...

If that's true, I'm not real fond of that scale. That's HUGE!

Though they didn't look that big sitting next to him...maybe he made a mistake?

Hoping it was a mistake, but they did look pretty big when the hand reached to open the shell.

**Bonehead** · February 1, 2012, 05:01pm

OMG!!

Those Classic figures are awesome!!

Just the thought of a Classic Beebop and Rocksteady....(drool)

I'm already at my spending limit so something is going to have to go. Bye bye 4" Thundercats! Hello Classic TMNT!!

That sewer playset is amazing. I'm not really digging the new designs though. Shredder, April, and Splinter look bad.

Can't wait to see better pics from Toy Fair.

MTV Geek's original article said they were 6". that would be the preferred scale, imo. So I really hope he goofed by saying 10" - 11". But you're right, that shot of him opening the shell made the figure look big. Uh oh...

**BCI Guy** · February 1, 2012, 05:02pm

Yeah. The shell was taller than the width of his whole hand. Pretty sure they're massive.

**wyldman11** · February 1, 2012, 05:04pm

Look at the hand in comparison to the back shell opening, if that is an adult hand they are that big. I didn't think they looked that big, and the initial report said 6 inches. If they are that tall I won't be getting them and instead will get the modern line and pick up all four (I skipped Ralph in the previous cartoon series because he is my least favorite).

**byinfernoslight** · February 1, 2012, 05:06pm

Hate to think what the cost of them is going to be if they really are that big.

My excitement has quickly turned to disappointment :'(
