Can we just have one unified thread instead of seven different ones for each license, plus more for whatever new licenses they come out with, please?

I picked up some of the new movie Turtle figures yday, with the Drone set Donnie, and the single-box Casey and one each of the two Feets. The regular Footie is pretty much a perfect MB Snake-Eyes straight out of the box, with the Biker Footie differing only by the helmet. Casey is fun, but I would've preferred a hockey stick not all red, and he's got a few brown paint spatters from his hair onto his mask. But Donnie is pretty damned cool. As an action figure, I'm very much enjoying his standard MB format over the new format of the Classics. His backpack is removable, as is his straps rig; and he keeps the working waist swivel. He has what looks like a control pad for the drone on his left hindarm and a multi-tool clipped to his right forearm. I still haven't seen the first Bay flick and have no plans to see OotS, and am rather non-plussed by their movie designs; but as MB action figures this Donnie is a great li'l figure and I'll likely get the rest of the movie team in short order.

Great idea, and thanks for the mini on the turtles, I had been curious and there are a lot of peg warmers here.

Do you have a shot with the foot soldiers next to other MB figures?
Thanks

I'll see what I can do later on once I'm awake, but I think Casey uses CoD legs, fwiw.

Oh, I swapped the heads between the two Feets, as the regular one's right elbow socket was too shallow and I wanted him to be SE. So the regular Foot will have the red shoulder patches, not the Biker Foot. Other than that detailing and their heads, they're identical.

Are they taller than the Classic turtles?
How does the foot soldier look next to a CoD figure?

Ah, hell man; I have all my other MBs stashed away since I've got all my HACKS out. But you can see Casey has CoD legs so I assume they're the same size. I don't see the big deal in a 1mm difference anyway...

Until Mega Bloks MOTU figures come out i'm going to need a few TMNT Movie turtles. The green muscle torsos are bound to come in handy for Mer-Man inspired customs.

Speaking of fodder...if anyone needs any Foot Clan Ninjas let me know. I've got some extras.

The extra red paint looks better with the red visor.
Does Donnie's shell come off his back and without the shell does he have a regular torso?

Good call by the way making one MB thread.

Yes.
Yes and yes.

And yes. I don't think any of us a purists for just one brand in the overall line, and there was already lots of cross-talk.

I picked up a few more movie TMNT, cobbling together a whole team. I got the single-box Pirate Mikey and D-Day Raph plus the box set of Rocksteady on his chopper with Leo. Single-box Leo is a clear green stealth version I'll be passing on. I'll probably get the Classics Bebop + 3Feets and then the movie Kraang and probably be done with my MBNT collection unless Shredder comes cheaply.

Well...it looks like i can trash the one i built as a prototype and forget about building one out of styrene. Worst case scenario ...i modify this one.
