TMNT Classic Collection Bebop and Rocksteady have hit retail after a long wait since their debut in February at Toy Fair. This time around the 8 inch Classic Collection figures are a TRU exclusive, and they’ve magically begun to hit right before Black Friday 2013. Bebop and Rocksteady are the 5th and 6th figures in the line after the 4 Turtles. They sport their 80s look and feel in a modern highly articulated figure design. While kids could grab and enjoy these figures as actual toys, we all know they are designed for us big kids looking to take a trip down memory lane. And boy do they deliver. Check out our thoughts and over 35 high resolution shots of Bebop after the break! Make sure to check our Rocksteady photo shoot too!
Bebop stands around 6.5 inches tall, perfectly in line with the 4 Classics Turtles from last year. He has a similar proportion to the original figure, with a heavy upper body and an over-sized head. All of the design cues are there – red vest, mohawk, cool 80s sunglasses, turtle shell armor, chain belt and the list goes on. Bebop has one weapon, his signature Shell-Drill gun, and it’s the only detachable or removable part. Everything else is molded on. The plastic quality is nice, figure has a quality heft to it. Paint applications are well done, but there was some splatter on my particular piece on the face. Articulation is overall good, the double jointed elbows work really well. However, he is a bit bow-legged due to restricted hip joints, and does not come with ankle articulation at all. This limits his posability a bit compared to the turltes but I wouldn’t say it’s a deal breaker. There is limited movement in all directions for the head as well – he has a big noggin. Posing there mostly consists of left/right and he always seems to be looking up. Again, not a deal breaker as they are keeping in line with the original figure’s traits.
Bottom line, Playmates delivered again with the Classic Collection releases, and if you grabbed the Turtles, these guys are a perfect compliment. Really the only thing wrong with the Classics so far – they can’t put them out fast enough!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Bebop and Rocksteady Update
Oh Yeah! I forgot all about these!
Well it's about damn time.
I just hope the delay was because they were fixing the paint issue with Rocksteady's shirt, lol.
I can see not wanting to flood the market too quick, but I think they've got a good 10 that they can do before people start falling off. I think that warrants more than 1 round per year.
Shredder, Splinter, Foot Soldiers, Krang, April, Movie Turtles (eh), and take your pick. Then you're getting into hardcore territory and will have problems hitting run numbers for the masses. But up to then, I think it's a no brainer. So yeah, gimmie these and keep em coming. See you next year I guess 
.
I got mine last night. They seem to be adding a new batch every day, like they did with the Con exclusive Leo and Shredder.
and if they give us krang.. i really hope they give us his android body as well.
i'm still surprised that a shredder hasn't been released.. or even had prototype photos released.
i can't wait to get these two. they look awesome. i just wish rocksteady's goggles were painted like they were on the prototypes... i mean.. for $20 a piece, his goggles really should be painted.
I click Rocksteady's link but get Bebop instead, is there any way to fix that? Also, what time were they up yesterday?
Wait are these the massive 6 inch ones?
Yup.
Also, thanks to whomever fixed the link.
I love this line I get 2 of each character when we get new ons (one for in box one for out of box, the only line I will do that with)
Just picked up Bebop and Rocksteady from my local store (strangely they have been out here in New Zealand since Wednesday and on sale. I look foward what the rest of this line has in store for us
TMNT Classics Bebop and Rocksteady Hit Ebay - The Toyark - News
scares me that they will break being positioned like that in the case.
My R&B showed up today. I was pretty worried because my buddy in California ordered a day AFTER me and got his on Saturday.
I'm pretty satisfied with them. My only complaint is that Rocksteady's neck is the color of his shirt. Looks like he's got some turtleneck tanktop on.
Can anyone find these on the Toys R Us website?
Nevermind. I actually just found these at my local Toys R Us. They had two Rocksteadys, so i went ahead and bought them both. if anyone wants him, let me know
I should mention that I bought it to pass on for cost plus shipping not for profit. I'll hang on to it for a week or so.
picked these two up at TRU in willow grove PA
