I feel like I need that Death's Head for my Doctor Who action figure shelf.

[@Arrowdodger]

I know you are not a negative guy, but if Star Wars is your bread and butter, and X-Men your steak and potatoes, I sometimes think it'd be funny if you found a toyline that was just anathema to you, because then it'd be your orange juice and toothpaste.

[@goose1752]

I'm really hoping for that 2003 Shredder he looks mega sick it'd be awesome to have him as a fig

Add some fur on the top the Yeti head and it will make a great Blizzzard from Primal Rage game

[@tenimeartstudios]

I was just in my 20s when 2k3 TMNT came out, and while I was still into nerdy shiz enough to still watch cartoons & even buy a good amount of the original toys, I never watched it when it aired. I JUST went through the series, and barring the last two more-kiddie seasons, it is PHENOMENAL. Probably my favorite, and I was raised on the Fred Wolf show (which, other than the first couple episodes, does NOT hold up haha). Seasons 2 & 3 are my FAVORITE, and just like the 1990 movie, it faithfully adapts a LOT of the original Mirage comics. You should put the Doctor Fate helmet on a flight stand next to/behind him. He's magic, he doesn't need to hold it! 😉

The DC Multiverse SDCC Exclusive "Funeral For a Friend Statue" Superman is literally my definition of preferred exclusive, its just a repaint of 2 elements in gold... But the problem is that its Funeral for a Friend! And i love that story so much, and that statue/cover specifically! And its only going to be on the floor? Not even a chance online? Id normally never care, cause its the perfect kind of exclusive fodder, but its the one I would really want

[@Great_Getter]

Weirdly, all I've seen has been whining about it.

[@Robin0928]

[@Robin0928]

[@CavemanBatman]

The 2003 TMNT was genuinely great. They even adapt the Jack Kirby issue of the original TMNT run in an episode. My only complaint is that they make Shredder an Utrom

Yeah! New Death's Head! Today is a good day, yes? EDIT: Also, don't worry about mispronouncing R'lyeh, humans lack the tentacles to pronounce it correctly! And I love they gave him a Lovecraft head, I am so down for it.

[@RoboDontKnow]

[@the5starman926]

Robo technically talked about Transformers today when talking about Death's Head! I'm counting this as a win!

Your dedication to the Crash Test Dummies bit is the best. Helps, of course, that I do love that song.

[@NerdRahtio]

I spy Dr. Quest. I always get nervous when companies skirt the line like that, as someone is getting to find exactly where that line is one day.

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

Cops n Crooks was one of the many shortlived 80s franchises that disappeared as quickly as it arrived, so I never had the chance to collect many of them. In fact, I only had one; Bullet. He was an ammunition themed villain with a wheeled cannon that fired caps. I kit-bashed him into a Punisher figure.

[@ELECTRIKDOOM77]

[@davecarolan1284]

Man, as a kid, I didn't know who Dr. Fate was, but damn, I loved that Super Powers figure. The gold and blue is a great color combo. That Dredd is an easy pass. I feel like that pleather will degrade over time. I hope I'm wrong!

[@MDestron2282]

That 2003 Turtles series was absolutely fantastic. Nostalgia aside, I dare say it was the best Ninja Turtles cartoon so I think it's super cool that these exist. They're not a must have for me but I'll keep them in mind. I'm super stoked to try to get my hands on that Death's Head but I do wish he in his original green costume from the Transformers Comics.

[@MonsieurJimjams]

The 2K3 show is well worth a watch. Probably my favourite animated version of the TMNT. And the figures do a great job representing that show.

[@the_kilted_fett156]

Your reenactment of trying to get a SDCC exclusive is why my desire to go to SDCC has diminished over the years.

[@RoboDontKnow]

My first year, back in 2005, I agreed to pick exclusives for other people and it was a nightmare. It's hard enough to get your own, much less several all over the con floor.

[@disbegroe1]

They say that two pack is a new hope two pack, but that's a rogue one stormtrooper. Where's the holster?

[@metamorphomisk]

The 2003 Turtles fans are very happy about it. Anyone who is negative about it are most likely other TMNT fans, which there is PLENTY of figure representations of. 2003 is the only one that hasn't had good figure representations yet. Hot take but the 2003 Turtles is just a much better show than 1987 if you take nostalgia away, out of all the shows 2003 is the closest to the actual comics

[@RoboDontKnow]

Oh, I don't doubt it's better. I don't even remember a lot about the original but even Veebs, a tried and true Turtles fan, always tells me to only watch the first few episodes. I have watched quite a bit of the 2012 series in snippets on PlutoTV and enjoyed the hell out of it.

[@the_amazing_crappo]

Super cool that they made a UK character exclusive to North America. Cheers, Hasbro.

[@ICollectStuff]

The BIG REASON I want Deaths Head is the fact that I can reasonably put him with my Transformers OR my Legends shelf

[@brainlock72]

No love for the Classic Doctor Who, yes?

[@diosoth]

COPS being licensed out when Hasbro can make toys of their own IPs just fine shows they do not care about the brand. Call me when they make a Marvel used car salesman Cobra Commander, Cobra-La will never be a good idea. I guess I will have to get a discount Buzzer, give it a mustache and paint the hair myself...

[@jonathandevereaux298]

Cops articulation originally was as good as you can get. The legs were connected to a piece of rubber so they could be moved in any and all directions. I remember wishing all figures had the same style of limbs.

[@andrewglidewell2699]

I think the TMNT 03 figures look good, but the lack of accessories while keeping the same already high end m price I don’t think bodes well for what is going on over at Super7.

[@peterwong8499]

Wait a min seem like those TMNT ultimate has new double joints from S7? Are they finally step up the game?

[@walkingcubkid]

Dude, you should check out the show (seasons 1-5 at least) It’s really good. The show even adapts the original TMNT comic line. Other than a few changes, the show is still pretty good. And mature for a kids show.

[@aaronj235]

The nostalgia glasses for the GI Joe movie are funny. You remember some parts fondly, but then other aspects were totally awful

[@Glorbified]

The tmnt show is actually pretty decent. It's production history goes off the rails a bit later on, but the show is worth a watch.

[@smyers9052]

The ‘87 Joe movie is much better than you’ve heard. Many of the OOG fans don’t like it because of the weirdness, but really it’s no weirder than most of the cartoon. It has maybe the best opening 10 minutes of any animated movie. Ever. Strongly recommend watching if you enjoy the Transformers movie (slight edge to that flick, but both are a major step up from their respective series’ in terms of animation quality and writing).

[@BrooklynBum]

Cobra-La makes it weird

[@smyers9052]

@@BrooklynBum But not the Fatal Fluffies? Not the ghosts of ancient warriors? Not human-animal hybrid Cobra soldiers? Not the Vines of Evil? Lol. If we’re comparing Cobra-La to the comics, sure. If we’re comparing Cobra-La to the rest of the cartoon…that’s an argument that would need robust justification.

[@AMVH2012]

I tried to rewatch 2003 in preparation for the Super 7 2003 figures. And then I realized I hate Hamato Splinter and when Shedder is a stranger. That led me to buying the redeco 2012 Turtles. I did have to run Robo's pronunciation of Shazam back twice though. I think that's fair.

[@NoBettaFeta]

The 2003 turtles was my real jumping off point for turtles. My sister got into the OG series and I liked it just fine but it was the 2003 series that really set its talons in me and turned me into a big fan. The show and the beat em up games at that time. So excited for these figures as a result, finally actually getting a set of the brothers in that art style in sweet sweet plastic form. I had a bunch of the playmates figures from the time but they really just retooled OG designs for those.

[@graefx]

Conflicted on Hyde. I still need one but not sure if I'm feeling the white hair. I *completely* missed out on the Neca first turtles. I saw pictures floating around and just never looked into or saw that they were going to be exclusives. Usually the algorithms are better at giving me a heads up. Hopefully they'll be another run, NECA has been good on sharing the SDCC wealth with some form of rereleases. I definitely want 2. 2003 TMNT has me excited. Though they look a little gorilla proportioned, I don't know if that's the arms are too long or the legs too short. The show had some very superhero adult designs. As much as I am a 90s kid and love those collectibles because they remind me of toys I grew up with, I really want to see nostalgia move forward about 5, 10 years to my early teen years though those were shows and properties I loved, I was moving out of traditional toys and into video games and card game.

[@TAKTAK_Toys]

The Weekly Rewind is the highlight of every Saturday of mine!

[@paragonkelvin6406]

I really like the 03 Turtles. Not enough to get them but I wonder if Neca is doing every animated version of the turtles. I would love a set based off Rise of the TMNT.

[@Harpoquondrax]

I'm with you, I've never seen the 2K3 show but I like the design of these, it makes me want to go back and watch the show as well. I was panic clicking so fast to get the Eastman & Laird Turtles I accidentally ordered 3, but with how fast they were going I wasn't about to go back to try and change it.
