I haven't seen any love for these vinyl figures in this forum yet, so I thought I would start a new thread.
They are jazzed up versions of Playmates' original figures; they have what looks to be 7 POA, so not exactly super articulated but they have good paint jobs to compensate. The accessory count for the vinyl figures is on the low side, but the quality of any included accessories is high.
They've put up open-ended pre-orders for the four turtle brothers, Ray Fillet and Mondo Gecko on their website. You can get the brothers from some retailers as well, but the latter two are exclusive to the Mondo store. It remains to be seen if any other characters go to retailers in the future, personally I hope so.
These look awesome to me. They honestly might be my favorite looks for the Turtles ever. The sculpts, the colors, it's all perfect. I don't mind the lack of articulation at all either.
My only issue is the size, they're way too big, I just don't have the space in my small apartment to display figures this big. Maybe I could display one on it's own, but if we're talking TMNT I'd have to get at least the four Turtles and display them together, and I don't have the room for it. If they were a smaller scale, I would 100% be all in on these.
Size & price make me lose interest. They're neat otherwise.
They're not bad, but yeah, too big. I'd maybe have interest if they were 4-6" or something. Enough to give them some chunk. I also don't like how glossy they look in all the shots. I like the matte appearance of most vinyl toys and it's part of the draw for me so a shiny finish doesn't appeal to me.
They showed Baxter at SDCC. I believe that Pixel Dan has a video with it.
