This episode was amazing. Did not see it coming like this.

Well, at least the plot is going somewhere. I enjoyed it, especially Raph's constant 'I-told-you's and 'you-see's at Leo and the battle inside the meat-packing plant/butcher's shop (I'm not sure which).

I loved Raph's expression during this scene.
 
That fight scene in the meat packing place was amazing. That part where the lights flickered off and the turtles eyes went white was my favorite part.
 
After the horrid disgrace that is Pizza Face, the show is back on track with The Wrath of Tiger Claw. The story was actually pretty well done and the action was great all throughout, from Tiger Claw fighting Casey Jones to the final battle that lacked music which strengthens the intensity of the scene even more. It had some pretty good lines and the ending really made me want to root for Karai for all the trouble she goes through now. Overall, pretty good episode and one of the best episodes about Karai, nice to see another good episode again from this show.
 
I picked up the newtralizer and dojo splinter figure. And... (don't hate on me :p) all 7 of the 2014 movie figures! Most targets across the US have them in the back room, holding them for a July 6th shelf reset. But they will sell them upon request.

Here are some more upcoming figures, the LARP turtle variants:

Supposedly hitting shelves in the coming weeks.

I still laugh at Leo's Galactus helmet :D

I want Donny. Him being a wizard just works so well.

Did Leo sound weird to anyone else in this episode?

Dominic Catrambone voiced him instead of Jason Biggs.

It seems to only be temporary but nobody on the show has really confirmed or denied if Biggs 'replaced' or if he was simply absent for some recordings. It is probably the later but we should prepare for the former just in case... Biggs did have a child recently, which could be the reason.

Am I the only one that hasn't even remotely noticed a change in Leo's voice? :P

It gets me when people say this. I participate in a lot of TMNT forums and you're not alone; there are many people who can't tell or have a hard time telling that the voice has changed in these two episodes.

Personally I can tell very easily. I'm certain I could pass a blind test.

But... unlike some I don't think the new voice is bad or detracts much. Dominic's voice is well-suited to the character. But I do still prefer Biggs.

If Biggs somehow had to leave the show however, I'd accept this replacement.
 
Good god those Bayturtles look Macdonalds level of cheap toys =(

That splinter look is borderline meme

So the tech guy we just saw will be Bebop correct?

So who's going to be Rocksteady.
Click to expand...

Some people are speculating that the russian dude will turn into Rocksteady ... but I think it will be a new character
 
Do you think it is possible that Nickelodeon has finally had it with Jason Biggs being vulgar and they recasted him? Apparently when the show first started he was tweeting bad things and then 5 days ago he is in the public eye for "trashing" Tara Reid on some stupid show with Joan Rivers.
 
Wow, "The Legend of the Kuro Kabuto" is a really good episode. Anton Zack was pretty entertaining, good jokes and the action was really well done from the chase scene to the end with
Shredder
. The backstory did a great job explaining why the helmet meant so much to Shredder and made the fight for it all the more awesome. Also the ending was unexpected and hilarious. I'm pleased with this episode overall, another nice addition to the show.

I doubt it. I mean the demo that watches turtles has no idea who the voices are for their beloved turtles, and I doubt they are going to care what he said about Tara Reid.

I mean Biggs voiced Leo in the "The Wrath of Tiger Claw" episode, but then was absent this past Sunday. I have a feeling he might've had other commitments or might have had been sick.

Lets see how it plays out for the rest of the season...

Seth Green will now voice Leo next season, which got a 20 episode order.

MAN I wanted to post this! Beaten :)

I can't wait to hear his take on Leo. I loved Biggs as Leo, I really did. But Seth is more a team player and he's more apt to interact with the fans, attend conventions etc., all things that Biggs apparently feels are below him.

Really excited for the future seasons.
 
4th Season? Well, didn't expect that, and neither Seth Green as Leo. I just hope for more good filler episodes because some are a miss while the strongest episodes are the ones with developed stories anyways.

There's a lot in common between Steranko and the Nickelodeon Rocksteady design - Ice blue eyes, gold tooth, overall military motif, strong presence of gold elements, hammer and sickle designs on his knuckle plates.
 
Revoltech turtles are starting to show up for pre-order at various japanese online shops. Hobby Stock Japan and HLJ being two. No amiami yet but should be shortly.

Here are some image samples:

Current info is placing Leo and Raph to ship in Sept with Don and Mike to ship in Oct. But not sure if this is fully accurate.

Anyway, I already pre-ordered them. I think the bases are kinda strange (manhole cover aside), otherwise they are absolutely gorgeous.

Hopefully these are a big hit and we can get Shredder, Splinter and other characters. Would be really awesome to have a super poseable Snakeweed for example.
 
Sanjuro said:
Is there even a price point for those things?
Click to expand...

yes roughly $43 each before shipping. At least that's what I paid at Hobby Link Japan. amiami may end up being a little cheaper?

These could end up on Big Bad Toy Store and other shops... so maybe no need to 'rush' to ordering them.

All I know is I don't want to miss out on owning a set!
 
I'm not a big fan of collecting figures anymore. Every so often, I'll buy one to put on my desk. This looks like something that would fit the bill fairly well.

I do kind of miss my Peter Laird signed TMNT NECA first run pack though.
 
I feel ya. I totally missed out on the NECA turtles... if only I could rewind time and buy one of each when they were selling for $20... they are $100 each easily now (the versions with the stands, that is)

Here are links with more pics of each Revoltech turtle.

If you can't decide which one to get, I think Leo is the best deal... he comes with the Pizza!

Love this pic of Don's alternate head:

I sold mine for close to $400. At the time, that made more sense than figurines sitting around.

I still have the loose ones with stands.
