It’s been a few months since we heard that DreamEX would be releasing highly detailed Casey Jones and Shredder figures. Although it was nice to see so much love and attention given to the villains and vigilantes of the franchise, a lot of fans were wondering if the company would ever get around to announcing the turtles themselves. Thankfully, we now have photographic evidence that they have been working on four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures. Needless to say, our heroes in a half shell are looking pretty darn good!
Close-up shots reveal that the designs for these Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures are heavily influenced by the original Mirage comic books. Raphael’s sculpt looks like it leapt right out of the pages of an Eastman & Laird graphic novel! Upon closer inspection, it’s clear that these designs borrow from more than just one iteration of the characters. I don’t know about you, but I can also see some influence from the 4Kids TMNT series and the original animated series. To be honest, these might be some of the most awesome TMNT collectibles I’ve ever seen.
Unfortunately, we don’t know anything else about these Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures as of yet. That being said, we can at least make an educated guess about the price point of these awesome collectibles. Being that the Shredder and Casey Jones figures are about $200 each, chances are that this set of four TMNT figures will run you about $800. Considering the level of detail that each character has, this is definitely a fair price, even if it is a little too expensive for most fans.
Oh, and does anyone else notice a little trench coat in the corner? Could it be that the Raphael figure will come with his disguise from the first movie? Collectible figures like these often come with awesome accessories, so it wouldn’t be too surprising to see them add something like that for Raph. I don’t know about you, but I’m very excited to see what DreamEX does next. Rest assured that we will let you know when these bad boys are available for pre-order!
