TMNT Classics Rocksteady Photo Shoot

Posted on November 24, 2013 at 3:19 pm by Tony_Bacala under Random Photo Shoot, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Toy News

You guys didn’t think we were gonna leave you hanging with just a high res gallery of Bebop did you? Where there is one, the other isn’t far behind! Rocksteady has officially been modernized for us big kids with his Classic Collection release. Also a TRU exclusive, he and Bebop are dropping now just in time for holiday shopping. They are packed along with the 4 Turtles, so if you actually get lucky and see them on the shelves, you can catch up and grab them all. We’ve done up a high res photo shoot of Rocksteady, check out our thoughts and over 35 pics of the big guy after the break!

Rocksteady stands around 6.5 inches tall to match the height of the Turtles and Bebop. His styling is all there, giving him a modern tweak to the original 80s toon look. Ammo strap, grenades, shell armor plates, removable helmet and camo pants. He has 2 weapons, a sword and a machine gun. Rocksteady also comes with a manhole cover stand with his name on it like the Turtles. Figure weight is nice, plastic is quality. Paint is well done but his helmet has goggles molded into it, and paint applications were left off for whatever reason, differing from the prototype shown at Toy Fair.

His articulation is similar to Bebop, a bit better due to increased head movement- but not much. Arms are great with double jointed elbows and full rotation on the shoulder, waist has a swivel. Neck and head – because of their larger animal heads, Bebop and Rocksteady both suffer a bit there – reduced to slight up and down, and then left/right movement. Knees are double jointed but the hips are restrained on a tight ball joint so posing non standing positions will be a bit difficult. He also has no ankle joints at all, just a swivel at the boot. This is all a bit nitpicky, they are still solid figures and you can pose them up with the Turtles for some great shelf displays.

To wrap up, same thing as our Bebop review – 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!

Check out the pics below. Enjoy!

    Agreed 100%. Watching Ebay and Toysrus.com like a hawk to see if they pop up on either site.

    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.

    super shredder should be added to that list as well. i loved the super shredder when i was a kid.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
