Yeah- Playmates really needs to retire the molds for those oversized turtles that they keep reusing in 2-packs, etc.. The TMNT are supposed to be on the short side- they are way too tall to be in-scale with any of the characters they have been in 2-packs with, or have been reissued in that "Ninja Masters" line so far. How tall is that Triceraton supposed to be- 4 foot 8? A fully-articulated 5" line would be my first choice, but I would also be in to a true 6" scale line that's reasonably priced. Ninja Turtles characters that scale with Marvel Legends? Sign me up! I would also be in to proper "crossover" 2-packs, as opposed to the weird, lazy hybrid thing they've been doing. Leo as Ryu Vs. Shredder as M. Bison? Sounds cool! Don as Dustin Vs. Demogorgon Rocksteady? Awesome! They've just done a terrible job for the past handful of years, with a property that has a huge market, despite being the main toy licensee from the very beginning.

They've let other companies license TMNT for all different kinds of figures, but all I want is a TMNT line like MOTU Origins- in scale with the vintage line, but with more articulation, and encompassing the various series, etc.. I don't want expensive oversized figures, or lazy reissues.

It's still saying unavailable, wonder if it'll come back into stock?
