WOW! That is a lot to digest. I, for one, am very excited about these new figures. I love the new designs, and notice how they have three toes now. Interesting design choice.
I love the Classic figures as well. So posable! I will definitely at the very least be getting the Classic figures, and the new action figures and that SEWER LAIR. That thing is HUGE. I can’t believe it!
So what do you guys think? Let me know in the comments!
I gotta say, the figures (both Classic and New) don’t really grab me with their design. I’m not really huge on the design of the old cartoon and, while kind of cool and original looking, the new look doesn’t quite tickle my fancy either. The extreme articulation is nice. But as I scrolled down and saw all the vehicles, I was rather proud of Playmates for giving it the old college try, although I wonder how much of this stuff will actually see store shelves. But when I saw the Sewer Playset with EXTREME detail and (let’s not deny it) GIRTH, I now need a new, CLEAN pair of underwear. Looks like I picked the wrong time in my life to start cutting back on collecting.
I have to agree, I needed a new change of underwear after that as well. I look forward to getting that sewer lair, and the classic figures.
