Playmates Toys' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Collection

Found these at Toys"R"Us last week. If you were kid in the late 80's early 90's then you definitely know what these are. Playmates Toys have re-made these using the same molds as the originals. The packaging is different and it is noted on the top corner that it is the "Classic Collection". The back of the package is different and is not like the original where each character had a bio card.

Of course if they re-released the TMNT, Splinter & Shredder then of course they had to re-release the Turtle Party Wagon.

They are also re-releasing the Original 2004 Vehicle Mechwrekkers. Not sure about these being classic but then again didn't collect these back in 2004.

The Original figures & vehicles from 1988 to the early 90's were definitely something we collected. What's so nostalgic about these being released is that the kids who grew up with these can buy these back after their parents threw/gave them away. It's also great for the next generation of kids to collect and play with some of the "original" versions of what their parents used to play with. The negative side of having these re-released could be from those who actually own the originals either loose or new in package. They're main question is will the value of the 1988 Originals go down because these were re-released?

Do you think Playmates Toys should have re-released these as their "Classic Collection"? For us it's sort of a mixed feeling. (Anyways, gotta do some digging for the old '88 collection.)

Super7 x Funko ReAction Pt.2

So with the announcement a few weeks ago with Super7 & Funko joining forces, there will be more ReAction Figure lines coming out. Funko has a lot of licensing for many properties so this makes a lot of sense. Funko also has a wide net for distribution which is a plus as well. Super7 will maintain the quality of the figures using their factory. (You can read more on that via Skullbrain from Brian @ Super7.)

We forgot to mention in our earlier post regarding this new found collaboration that Brian @ Funko also mentioned on Funko Funatic a little teaser of what's to come in early 2014....

"Back to the Future, Aliens, Predator, Firefly, Universal Monsters, Terminator 1 & 2, GOONIES, Escape from NY and MANY MANY MANY more coming to you in early 2014!"

  Excited about the Goonies & Universal Monsters!!!
