Christmas is Over & New Toys Hit The Shelves

You may want to check your local Target stores as they have begun stocking several new TMNT related figure lines.
First up is Mini-Mutant Exoskeletons, In the lineup are the 4 Turtles & Shredder.
I'd just like to give fans a heads up at this point so they know what to expect when looking for this series.

Leo, Don, & Raph are 2 per case while Mike & Shredder are 1 per case at least this was the way the case was when I got see open it at my Local Target.

I have to say on a scale of 1 to 10 there bad boys are a 10+, I haven't seen figures this nice from Playmates in years and I hope this is a good sign of things to come in 2009.

Next up we have the Aerial Assault Mini-Mutants line, while I love the mini-mutants this is my least favorite of the batch as the figures have little to no articulation at all.
The figures that are short packed in this series are the Don & Foot Tech as well as Mike & Elite Foot set.
This series is also a bit sloppy with the paint so be careful if you care about that sort of thing.
The price of these also held me back from buying them at 10.00 they are hardly worth it.

Next up is the 25th Anniversary TMNT figures, as of this moment this long time Playmates TMNT figure fan is not impressed at all with their anniversary offerings But only the 4 Turtles have been released at this point and it seems as if they have been released in good amount of each turtle.

I'd like to talk about the box art for a moment, while I'm not a very big fan of the Last movies design I really enjoy both of these new Mini-Mutant series box designs, who ever did those did a stellar job and was very creative down to the smallest detail.

Now I've gotten allot of flack for my comments on the package design over at the Technodrome forums including an angry rant but I still stand firm behind my view that the 25th anniversary card layout is a jumbled mess of a design, while I applaud them for using the old art it's just atrociously used.

So be on the look out for all these new offerings from Playmates Toys.
