–>> Minor, touch-ups and vintage add-ons to match the prototypes OF THE CLASSICS ‘BOP & ROCKY a little bit better & enhance the figures. For some reason, i only painted one side of each of ‘circles & stripes’ on each of Bebop’s shoes. I may go back and change that later.

Added to the customization : the ORIGINAL 1988 Rocksteady Manhole Cover Shield accessory, touched-up ..works relatively well with the Classics Rocky.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - CLASSIC COLLECTION :: ROCKSTEADY & BEBOP { tOkKustom Punk touch-ups } v // ROCK' (( 2013 ))

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - CLASSIC COLLECTION :: ROCKSTEADY & BEBOP { tOkKustom Punk touch-ups } ix // ROCK's display base  (( 2013 ))

Touch-ups on ROCKY & Bebop’s display bases. Originally it was just a one-toned grey colour. The Turtle’s Classics bases at least had a light wash – ‘Bop and Rock’s didn’t – – so i changed it.

–>> .. i’m convinced Falco’s figure is a really decent interpretation of your favourite Rodent Sovereign. But you know the drill with Playmates; to keep costs low – so to sometimes on these figures paint apps will look different than how you may expect or different than their prototypes, or may be totally eradicated from some portions of the figure altogether. Rat King had a little bit of this issue going on as you may recall. –

THE RAT KING

TELEPATHIC COMMANDER OF THE RAT ARMY

Cold-Blooded and deceitful, formerly known as Dr. Falco. The Rat King is determined to rid the city of humanity and claim it for his rat brothers. He is able to see through the eyes of rats and control them with his telepathic powers. Destined to take down the Turtles, the city should be wary of the one called The Rat King.

• WEAPONS: Army of Rats & Telepathic Powers

There’s no rule stating you can’t take matters into your own hands to make your new toy better. Some light metallic spray paint misted on, a simple black acrylic paint wash and some careful painted details on his rodent minions, and R.K. starts to look much filthier and a bit better. Hopefully a little bit creepier too.

PORTRAIT OF ARCTIC DONATELLO
The Frosty Frozen Foot Fighter!

Arctic Donatello’s Accessories:
Real Workin’ Ice Water Shootin’ Blaster, Ice Poppin’ Penguin Pal, Anti-slip Snow Shoes, Ice Pick Bo, Gold Metalized Kowabunga Collector Coin

On the barren, frozen wasteland known as the Turtle tundra, there stands only one Mutant – Arctic Donatello. This is his element – this block of unforgiving ice where every direction you turn is south; this is where he lives out the adventure of a lifetime. Like his brothers, Safari Michaelangelo and Deep Sea Diver Leonardo, Artic Donatello is searchin’ for the lost gold coin that bears the name “Kowabunga Collector Coin.” Artic Donatello, along with his trusty ice poppin’ penguin pal, shuffles through the slushy snow in the only good pair of anti-slip snow shoes north of Alaska. And if any frozen Foot fools show up for a battle on the ice, Donatello will stop ’em cold with a blast of water from his real workin’ ice water shootin’ blaster. Then, with a few swings of his ice pick bo, Arctic Donatello sends them on their way – south. So dress warm and put on some extra socks, cuz it’s your turn to join the adventure!

That may not happen tho’ considering the 12.99 price point, in some regards that may be a slightly higher price point than the 2009 reissues. I recall those clocking in at about 10.99 a few years back.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - CLASSIC COLLECTION :: 'RETRO' SPLINTER ..card insert (( 2013 ))

Apparently for now these reissues are a TRU exclusive offering, the 2013 reissues seem to offer subtle variations than older releases like the 2009 reissues.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - CLASSIC COLLECTION :: 'RETRO' SPLINTER v // .. with TMNT 25 Splinter reissue on card (( 2013 ))

The ‘RETRO’ packaging looks great and is even better executed than the 2009 wave. Splinter’s kimono is of a slightly more ‘flocked’ fabric than the prior reissues and vintage versions.

The foot peg holes in the bottom of the new reissue Splinter here has large ones like the more modern TMNT figs of the past 10 + years so they should fit some modern vehicles, playsets & stands but will present challenges if you are looking for compatibility with more vintage offerings like the classic Sewer playset.

I’ve yet to see any of the Teens or Shredder in this 2013 reissue wave, but i presume the foot peg holes on the bottom of those are large as well. 2013 Viacom Copyright information on these figures have been updated as well to distinguish them from the older releases.

Minor paint applications are slightly different than the vintage releases, but not too different than the 2009 release. For some reason his weapons on this reissue seem ‘studier’ but maybe it’s just me.

By the time i got to TRU this was the last reissue they had so i snatched it. His box got damaged so in part out of curiosity i cracked him open.

This line will prolly be for completists & mega-fans, people that missed out on TMNT toys back in the day or the reissues from a few years ago, or for kids who want a taste of the vintage line their moms & dads played with.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - CLASSIC COLLECTION :: 'RETRO' SPLINTER xxiv // .. with '07 TMNT movie Splinter (( 2013 ))

However in some regards at nearly 13 bucks a piece, these are pricier than the regular Nick Turtles line based on the current show. And in some cases these may be more pricier than some actual vintage figures out there of the main cast of TMNT from 3rd party dealers.You may as well get the loose, vintage equivalent figure if you just want one of those for display in your collection or to play with.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - CLASSIC COLLECTION :: 'RETRO' SPLINTER xxv // .. with '12 Nickelodeon Splinter (( 2013 ))

Obvious & interesting extensions of this “CLASSIC” line is the reissue AGAIN of the ‘TMNT Party Wagon’ & the reissue AGAIN of the oddball 2003 ‘MECH-WRECKERS’ vehicles for Retro Raph and Leo. Each of those nearing the $50 – 60 price mark. If money’s not an issue and you want/ need all this stuff – by all means go for it.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - CLASSIC COLLECTION :: 'RETRO' SPLINTER xxvi // .. eradicating the RAT KING (( 2013 ))

If not, wait out it for a few months – and hopefully prices will stabilize. If you are perfectly satisfied with your current collection of vintage figures, definitely pass on all this stuff and save some money.
