the figures of the 4 turtles are really great, but the supporting characters are so-so
Kraang and April are probably the worst. They look cool, but bad at posability. Kraang has weird feet so he falls a lot. It's depressing
Shredder is pretty dang good. Splinter is okay but the robe looks weird on a figure. I wish we got to see more of his lower body, like the original Splinter figure.
Foot soldier is pretty standard, does the job.
Metalhead looks great though. A lot of stores probably have already received boxes with the new figures, but they aren't on shelves yet.
I actually got my first full set of the 2012 TMNT figures by asking a Target associate to get the box for me from the back, because I had the product ID # it was easy for them to find. Because of this I had the figures more than 2 weeks before most people. These figures have no official street date, so if you can find a store willing to sell them early, it's not a problem. I'm not trying to advocate bugging the stores in this way, but having worked a stocking job when I was in HS, I know this isn't putting them out. It's standard practice as customers ask this all the time.
