The turtles look better in package. I might pick em up
Shredd looks kinda cool. Getting a better look at his design, it almost looks like his armor has a sort of Elysium esque bionic exo suit thing going on.
I can see that.
They don't look terrible but I'm still waiting to see them in person before I make the call on getting any of them.
These are a pass for me. The packaging reminds me of something from the 90s. And the Foot Soldier looks like one of those fake, cheap GI Joe knockoffs lol.
easy pass for me as well
Anyone know how tall these are?
Still need to see a scale comparison, but so far may pick up the 4 main turtles to go on my movie shelf if they line up enough to the how the movie depicts them in comparison to average sized people.
Not liking these designs. Pass.
Teenage Mutant Douchebag Turtles
Geez, the turtles look the same height as everybody else.
I like that Shredder more and more the clearer these leaked pictures get. I shouldn't. It's an overly busy design. There's no accounting for personal taste, I suppose.
The turtles don't look so bad either. I'll likely get all four turtles + Shredder and April, still undecided on Splinter. That Foot Soldier can go to hell, though, along with anybody up the chain who thought they should be generic mercenaries.
Yeh still wanna know what size these are
As a GI Joe / 3.75" enthusiast, those foot soldiers and the shredder look like they'd fit well. I might just have to pick one up if I see it at retail.
These are a pass for me. I love Michael Bay films but his designs do not make great toys.
Scale-wise, I think they may be true 3.75 inch figures, y'all remember the 2009 Terminator Salvation figures by playmates? I think they may be that size, just a hair under gi joe Scale, but I hope that for the sake of my wallet, they're joe scale.
I think they would be 4.5” in size. Looking forward at adding them to my collection. They are lovely.
These are HILARIOUSLY terrible.
It's like crappy ass 1990's figures all over again!
People are actually going to waste their money on them?

Foot Soldier
I dislike how they made the foot soldiers look like generic mercenaries instead of at least looking some what ninja-ey.
Look good yes but ha weapons and Mickey are overly big for them Leo and dons weapons are. About right size
I like how they found a place for GI Joe in Turtles. That foot soldier is a perfect Beachhead! Smh.
I just vomited....
Well the packaging looks great, the figures, not so much....
ugh everything about these is a pass
Don's staff is killing me, so are the faces, especially splinter and those eyes xD
Like that one guy said. Teenage Mutant Douchebags :/
The TMNT CGI turtle figs were 10000x better than this imo. At least the weapons were great and so was the articulation. Those batboys are probably my favorite turtle figs
