Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Sewer Lair and Villains Retro Box Sets by Playmates
Man, they just reissued the Turtles, but perhaps people didn't get the set. I want some of the rare characters reissued. The villains pack is cool.What do they mean by "roto heads". Does anybody know?
Man Playmates is pathetic how many times you gonna reissue these damn figures. no wonder they are loosing to NECA and Super7
I preordered the turtle van set from sdcc through 2 different e-stres and both canceled on me. So I’m looking forward to this set. Both of them actually.
I'm all in on this, missed other reissues, and with these two packs, I'd pretty much get ALL the necessary characters in two (hopefully easy) purchases. The thing I have to think about is now this would be the 4th TMNT collection after the NECA Cartoon, Movie, and Super7 toy Ultimates.
But unlike the Star Wars retro figures that I bought, I really had pretty much all of these guys if my memory serves.
Yup, looks like playmates figured out the IP is worth a lot and they need not take the risk anymore.
Anyone see these up yet?

Yawn.
Yup, I just preordered. Thanks.
So did the SDCC versions not have the Roto heads

If they're going to keep re-releasing the same figures, they could at least try to perfect the colors and get them right. The colors they've been re-releasing these characters in makes them look like parodies of the originals. All of them are too dark or too light. Donatello, Raphael, and Slash are the worst offenders. Get your $#*! together, Playmates. You're looking senile.
As for these playmates, it's messing with my mind, I want them but it seems excessive with the old collection I have. But I can't help buying. Even though like someone said, the paint apps and plastic colors are inferior to the originals. Delta team Donatello from the classics releases has way less paint and is a weird color compared to the original.
I really want "ORIGINS" style figs like these. But if they don't make them then I want these other ones I guess.

I found PRE-ORDERS on Dorksidetoys.com and EntertainmentEarth.com for both sets.
Yeeeeah...I pre-ordered XD I don't know where this collecting is going or where it might stop. It's those turtles!!! I love'em!
In the back of my mind I'm thinking...well if the rotocasts are made basically 35 years later, they will live 35 years longer. Hmph.
Some of y'all are OCD as f***. These look exactly like the originals to me.
Most of the rare stuff from the old line like Scratch will never be reissued because the molds literally shattered.
