In the latest issue of Clutter Magazine, they have a look at some upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Figures. These 1/6 scale figures were designed by TMNT creator Kevin Eastman and will be produced by ThreeZero. We’ve previously seen then base sculpts, but the magazine features our first look at the fully painted and articulated figures.
They also have a great interview with both Kevin Eastman and ThreeZero’s Kim Fung Wong about the creation of these newly designed Turtles. In the article, they talk about the future of this line as well. Kevin Eastman mentions he’d specifically like to do a newly designed Casey Jones next, and Kim Fung Wong mentions that they would like to create an entire line well beyond the initial four TMNT figures.
Read on to see the TMNT Figures and you can see the interview Here.
ThreeZero Talks With Kevin Eastman About New Their New TMNT Figures
Good interview. I think the only TMNT designs I like less than these is the recent live action movie versions. :/
Kevin Eastman is my Stan Lee. I've met him in person amd talked to him online here and there. He's a really cool dude. It's cool to see him involved with making figures again. Makes me think there is still hope for us TMNT fans that don't buy Playmates crap.
As far as what figures for threezero to make, that's simple. 1990 Movie Turtles! 4 turtles, Casey, Shredder, Splinter, foot soldier and April. After that maybe some of the IDW stuff. These designs are interesting, but they remind me of the CGI movie versions. If I was Kevin I would concentrate on the source material. Make turtles that we are familiar with. I feel like all we see is redesigns of our favorite characters. Thing is, not many have ever
made classic ones. NECA made the only true classic figures until Playmates made some. Out of both companies we mainly got just turtles. Mondo and threezero have also only revealed turtles figures. If somebody reveals a figure that isn't a turtle, then I'll be interested.
i love these designs i bet they'll be pricey though =/
Are they going to be that Size?
... the f*** are these, the Nu 52 Turtles?

These look pretty fantastic! I love that they're making original figures not particularly based on anything. Also the very notion of a Casey Jones 1/6th figure, my favorite character of all time from TMNT, is just icing. I might have to get Donnie when it comes out. Anything about a release date?
I might pick up Raphael just from a love of the character and Eastman's style but I'm really not digging these. I wish they'd just given us Eastman style Turtles.
These look freakin sick, but I don't like that scale.
I only like the Leo one there - not too keen on the Bay-esque features and physiques unfortunately.
One more thing I like about these is that they actually have exposed articulated joints and they are not covered like in the 2014 movie ones. I don't these look like the Michael Bay versions at all, these look darker and grittier.
They look grate. They look a lot like the movie turtles.
Are these "action figures" or just mildly posable statues? Coz the resin models looked like statues, but the posed & painted figures and the accessories look more like a toy than a statue...
I think they look great and will surely be buying them. The one thing that looks a little off to me at the moment though is Mikey's thighs look huge compared to Raph's like he's been playing rugby a lot or something. It's Eastman's design though, so I guess none of us are worthy... Or maybe it's because Mike skateboards more than anyone else. If everyone is not going to be the same size, then Ralphael should be the bruiser. Could just be the photography playing tricks though. Really like the figures either way.
Wow... you mean the movie Turtles COULD have looked decent?

I have yet to dealve into collecting 1/6th scaled figures, but I really love how these look. Being from ThreeZero they're bound to be expensive, so I might pick up at least a Raph, maybe even Mikey.
I would love to see what Kevin would come up with for Shredder and Krang if they do continue beyond the Turtles.

Isn't it funny guys that the most awesome thing we could have 1/6 shredder or foot soldier or even an April one'll will be ruined by Kevin trying something new.. I want classic purple foot soldier and silver and orange. But that's wishful thinking
Gonna pick these guys up fo sure
