Nice pics robzy!! What's that set you using for the background?

Just picked up mine from the PO Box today. My Don has derpy eyes.... But I have a feeling everybody else's does too. It looks as though My Mikey's eyes have been painted over twice. Still all in all they look VERY cool! Larger than I thought.

I also got the new turtles as well, they look great for little figures. Turns out I got the set of all released (except for April). Turtles look awesome, but the rest look a bit unarticulated.... Why no knees???? Krang even has ball looking joints, but no joints. Wha??

Thanks guys Yep, that's the 2002 TMNT Turtle Sewer Lair. It's an amazing little set actually - very versatile. The new 2012 Sewer Lair looks pretty amazing too.

Cool! I gotta get these. I know what you mean about the articulation - I've heard the Turtles are awesome, but the others are limited. Still, I think that's the style Playmates (for whatever reason) has always gone with when it comes to TMNT. Both the vintage and the 2002 lines were very "pre-posed" (almost like NECA figures) in battle stances. It's often bugged me, but the quality of the sculpts has always been the trade off - usually they're fantastic. I can't believe the new 2012 Turtles, for example, are all UNIQUE sculpts and not just retools. Wow That's impressive.

I guess that's why, from an articulation POV, I'm so amazed by the Classics. It's not what Playmates usually do - but man, they did it well!

the 2003 Sewer lair is pretty neat. It's a shame they never made the playset from the '07 movie, that would have been amazing. shame I can't find any pics of it anywhere.

I know these aren't the classic turtles, but these 2012 figures are too damn cool! I LOVE THEM!

I was in the same boat with that. I ended up saving on poastage anyway, so yay!
