Unfortunately, Super7 can’t use the vintage likenesses anymore. I guess we know why now. I personally preferred what Super7 was doing, and I wanted to see their take on some more of the deep cut animal mutants. I can’t imagine Playmates going that route with this new format.

These figures look like they're not quite where I want them to be personally. I just want the OG figures with modern articulation. No weird texture, no head swaps, no extra paint. Also, after being spoiled by MOTU Origins I don't want pinned elbows/knees or swivels for ankles... I know that there were a lot of origin figures that made visual changes to the characters, but I personally sought out the characters that looked true to their OG image. I guess I just wish Mattel was doing this Remastered turtles line.

7:52 A mistake 100% or, an oversight for better phrasing, they didn't bother to look up the original figures when it was go time, to make the new ones. Like people working in hollywood nowadays, working on comicsbook movies.. They don't care what the stuff they work on is based on, theyjust do whatever that comes out of it, with 0% research on it. This, is a mistake on their side, they probably don't even care about the toys from the 90's, had to crank out the figures for the photoshoot.

If they only have Mutant Mayhem types of ankles, they’ll be an easy pass…but disappointing since fully articulated versions of the originals are something a lot of people have wanted from Playmates for years.

Exactly. Tbh I 100% BELIEVE that there is enough plastic produced already. At this very moment. So that we should globally ban and cease all plastic production that isn't 100% recycled materials. This will actually jack up the value of plastic and create a whole new market for profitable recycling, scavenging, selling, used plastic materials. Everything from tv parts to used tooth brush handles will have value and SHOULD. We really need to cease new plastic and depend on recycled only now.

I have no more room for yet ANOTHER TMNT variants. I think Playmates shot themselves in the foot already re-releasing the vintage turtles and now asking for you to buy more. MOTU Origins at least had the benefit of the lack of MOTU stuff on toy store shelves. Let alone there is already way too much TMNT stuff out there with the likes of NECA, Super7, Loyal Subject and of course Playmates already competing in the marketplace. Honestly I would have rather have had modern characters or characters never attempted (Tiger Claw, Alopex, Keno for example) done in the vintage style rather then just the same old stuff.

The availability outside US market will depend on the local distributors bringing them to specific countries. MOTU Origins did not pick up interest in some Asian countries until Wave 3, and would Playmatts still make it available everywhere after a year being “exclusive” from Walmart? This would definitely be a hit with longtime fans. But it boils down if local distributors in specific Asian countries can access it to it and not just some “limited run” product.
