Entertainment Earth and BBTS have put up the next wave (Mikey, Teela, Skeletor, and Casey Jones) already for preorder. 

I absolutely preordered the whole set. No willpower, just all in.

They don't charge until ship, right?  I order them too.  Casey looks great.

So it's crazy that I ultimately didn't buy any of Wave 1 at all -  I just didn't find them that appealing.

 

With the subsequent round I was tempted by Ram Man -  still am, and will probably end up getting him.   I really wanted the Kraang - but couldn't get on line in time and that thing sold out and I missed.

 

But with these new reveals, I want a ton of them.   I definitely need Mer Man that is epic.   April/Sorceress looks great and like something I'll need.   Leatherhead too.     Even Stealth He-Man, Skeletor and 2-Bopsteady are pretty cool and have me considering.    How did I go from maybe wanting two from the first two waves to wanting a whole bunch of wave 3?     They know how to get me.

I only have Raph, Ram Man and now Mikey on preorder.

I'm not overly fond of the mask they gave Casey, as it screams normal Ram Man more than MOTU inspired Casey.

Combined Rocksteady and Bebop just look off to me. I know it's more natural for toys, but the big heads and tiny necks just look like they're Pez toppers.

Mer-Man looks amazing and I'll likely grab him and Splinter as well. 

The rest of the new reveals I think I'll be skipping.

You ever get a new figure, open it, and just completely lose steam for a line?

I got my Mouse-jaw yesterday, which was an ordeal because I live in Canada, ordered from Target.com, shipped to a parcel forwarder who can bring it to my local airport where I can clear customs myself, and finally take it home. I was prepared to do this with all the exclusives for this line, or at least Krang and the Target exclusives so I could build Metal-boto.

Then I get home, and open him up, and he's just...fine? Like, I love a good Trap-jaw figure, so thought it would extend to him, but it's just not there, and I realized I don't care about Metal-boto, or really much more of what they're putting out. I'll get Mikey, and Sla'ker is a definite, and maybe keep my Krang pre-order, but the rest are all just kind of figures I wanted on autopilot because I like both MOTU and TMNT, so a mash-up had to be right up my alley.

So, if anyone in Canada wants a Mouse-jaw, hit me up. Just looking to make back what I paid for him, which is far better than ebay prices.

Amazon had a few of these marked down to $13.99 so I took the plunge and grabbed Donatello.  I still think most of the designs are a mess but I've always intended to grab at least one turtle to check out.  If he's good then I'll get the other three and probably a handful of the newer designs like Casey and Sla'ker.

I know some folks found Krang in store.  Wonder when they are shipping out.

Any idea lore-wise why this Krang is green?  I think he may have been better purple.  Like his android body is full of whatever ooze they're using on the heroes.  Could have unified the color schemes a bit more in this crossover line.  As is, we have a purple He-Man and purple Ram-Man which are just kind of out there by themselves.  If Krang was translucent purple as well, he could have been tied into the mutated heroes visually, which would work with the idea of him controlling them.   Just a thought.

@ashtalon I think he's a mashup of Megator and Krang and Megator is green. If there is any other lore explanation beyond that I'm not aware. There might be something in the included comics.
