There have been many varying opinions among fans as to Playmates' approach to the TMNT Classic versions of Bebop and Rocksteady. Personally, I'm firmly in the camp of "these figures are awesome". Other fans believe that they deviate too far from the original figure designs, others think that they should look more like the cartoon versions.
Playmates has stated that if these two figures sell well that they would love to do more figures geared towards adult collectors with the Classics line, but the success of non-Turtle characters-- in the case Bebop and Rocksteady-- will determine if we ever see as Shredder, Splinter, April, Foot Soldier and so on. I think that these two will sell great, and if they don't, then I blame you all!!
Great blog!! why these figure are not in the basic series? these villains are incredible... Regards!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThe "Classics" line is based on the original Turtles figures from the 80's and 90's. These are aimed at the adult collector who had them as a kid, so these are more detailed, articulated and a higher price point.
The current basic series of figures are all based off of the Nickelodeon cartoon series.
OK, but.. Bebop and Rocksteady appear in this animated series?, because the basic series has a lot of villians but not these, that look great. Thank for the answer!!
Deletelindas figuras¡¡¡ ya tengo las primeras 4, cuando saldran krang y shredder???
ReplyDeleteNingĂșn plan de Kang o Shredder todavĂa.
DeleteThe Basic series is comprised of these guys. Your thinking of the newer stuff. Not the originals.
