Sometimes that turns out well (again, they release their basic TMNT figures in ways that every other company seems to always imply is impossible) but they also seem to have no idea what to do with collectors. Then again, these do seem to be really influenced by the high end Japanese figures like S.H. Figuarts and MaFex with the extra heads.

I only have a Raph from the cartoon versions, and while he is neat...he's just not play worthy, and that really does diminish a lot of the excitement, for me. All these figures have AWESOME accessories, but I just don't think I can bring myself to get any more figures that can barely hold their accessories - so long as you don't move them much. I wish Playmates would do at least a LITTLE research before doing more of these. They stick to their guns and it works - I'll give them that. They haven't been in the game this long - and still have their product fly off the shelves - by being blind to the market. They just need to reconsider the figures they aim at the collectors.Alexxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467443844522666834noreply@blogger.com
