The Toy Collectors
kamikazekeeg:
A good thing for the NECA movie TMNT figures, is that with Toka and Razar, after the disastrous Walmart launch they had with other stuff, they are apparently going to do the smart thing and have them go up on the NECA website for pre-order so people have an actual chance at getting them. NECA shipping makes them a little more pricey than they would be elsewhere, but a few extra bucks to guarantee getting one isn't too bad. I'm just waiting on them to re-release Leonardo in a single pack, because I kinda just like collecting certain versions of him.

The GF just picked up the Shredder and Krang 2-pack for me at Target! They look so great. I wish I could get more of them, because these would make great display pieces.
pzeke:
Nice, congrats.
We're in August, and Walmart has yet to list the other figures... =/

While I hate that Toho or Playmates bumped NECA out of the Godzilla license, and I was worried that all of the Playmate figures would be absolute trash based on the classic figures they tried to release which are all almost objectively garbage (The Final Wars Gigan being the one exception). That being said, I think these 6" figures are actually pretty alright. Kong has nice simple articulation where he should, the Skullcrawler is a simple character, but mostly functions okay (Needed movable feet to me, but I'm just glad to have a Skullcrawler figure at all), and the Godzilla isn't any different from the 11" one, but it's fine for what it is. They also feel better than the other ones I was talking about, because they are a mixture of hard plastic and a softer and I think maybe slightly heavier plastic, so the Kong in particular feels much nicer overall. Not bad for 10 dollar toys. I just need to grab the Warbat and I'll have all 4 of the currently released creatures.
Gonna pass on the 11" Godzilla and Kong for now as the Godzilla is not much different from last year's Jakks figure, and the Kong has almost no articulation to it and is weirdly black furred rather than a dark brown. There was a big leak of all of the Playmate figures awhile back, so there might be a few more I'll grab later on, I just won't talk about them here since they are spoilery for the movie.

Got the April + Foot Soldier cartoon 2-pack at Target today. Still absolutely zero luck at Walmart. Local stores don't even look like they even put any out.
