Things have been a bit slow through 2017 when it comes to TMNT figures released outside America. So, seeing the new Wanted: Bebop & Rocksteady toys (and Usagi!) suddenly appear at UK retail really is a real turn-up!
Bebop & Rocksteady are here paying tribute to thier 1980’s predecessors. These two heavys are still the new incarnations of the dopey duo, but given a throwback facelift. The upcoming 3-episode arc of Nick TMNT season 5 should give a full explaination of this theme.
Take some time to marvel at the gallery put together of these ‘Fall/Autumn 2017’ Playmates releases. There’s also some comparisons thrown in too.
“Wanted: Bebop & Rocksteady” was a great series finale to the best TMNT toon: https://mattthecatania.wordpress.com/2017/11/13/tales-of-gotham-tmnt/
Modern Bebop looks much better in the ’87 style outfit. Why doesn’t his latest toy have shell pauldrons for both shoulders?
