Post by: styx on 14 March 2015, 12:12:45 AM
While not called TMNT and designed for Blood Bowl style game....

All 4 turtles, April, Shredder, Splinter, Beebop, Rocksteady and more personalities! Wow, they may bleed me dry to buy this....I want to get with a local guy here to try the Kung Fu game he bought with these! The range is called Wartarts...

They come out looking even bnetter than I hoped. I'm not a fan of Raph-uh, sai using wartarts pose, but the rest are solid.
Bloody expensive though, I think they know they have a near monopoly on the subject matter.

Nope. Some are okay but others are terrible. Especially when you look at the asking price.

Frustrating too that they have only a slight resemblance to the actual characters.  I like the sculpts, but what's with all the accessories?  Who could fight with all that stuff on?

Well, they have to alter the looks by X percentage to avoid copyright infringement lawsuits.

As for the being able to fight with that stuff on....we are talking about mutated ninja turtles here... ;)

Yeah, I wouldn't be too hard on these figures, they are what they are.  I also don't think they are extremely over priced, they are not close enough to the real thing to sell by the thousands. 

I like the not-shredder, though I prefer a less ragged look for my comic book types.

For the expense, I'm still not sold on anything other than the MyWay turtles. Ok, so $75AUD for four minis is "GW" level expensive, but the quality is great, the look is spot-on, and I only ever need the one set of four.

It looks at first glance to me like they have had a previous range of TMNT stuff and then updated the turtles with some better sculpted models. That's what it looks like to me not saying that is the case but the sculpting styles are completely different comparing the wartarts to the rhino and warthog.

Those are awesome!

They are really nice sculpts regardless.  I think I might go 15mm for the Turtles and just modify the Bombshell miniature turtle.

Couldn't resist...spent several years in my childhood enthralled to the Turtles. I watched all movies, watched the series, played with the action figures and played the PC game to DEATH. So yeah, had to buy these.

me too, especially obsessed with the original run of Mirage comics, issue 1-10.  SOme of the greatest/strangest/inventive comics to ever come out of the 80's.
