GAMESTOP EXCLUSIVE DC COLLECTIBLES BATMAN VS TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

With the post system being what it is these days during the holiday season, during a global pandemic, I have not received any of the new toys that are in transit, so today, we’ll have a look at older stuff, like the Gamestop Exclusive DC Collectibles (it was still ‘Collectibles’ at the time!) Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures (those pictures were taken in early 2020).

It was first a comic book crossover event, that was actually pretty good (2 sequels have come out since), and DC made an animated movie out of the first story. Those figures have the design of the animated movie.

Here are some packaging shots:

(The 'Robin & Raphaël' box was smashed during transport, so I just opened that one right away to make sure the figures were fine, so no photos of that box. The figures were fine!)

First, let’s check the leaders of their respective families: The Batman and Leonardo.

“Dude, you’re dressed like a bat!”

“You are literally a turtle.”

“Fair enough. Let’s fight crime!”

Now for the rebel of their families: Robin (Damian Wayne) and Raphaël.

“Oh, you put the hood on? Things are getting serious!”

“COME AT US, BRO!”

Then, they paired the tech savvy ones together, with Batgirl coming along with Donatello.

“You got any games on that?”

“Nevermind. Time to fight!”

Michaelangelo, or Mikey, the goofiest of the Ninja Turtles, was somehow paired with Alfred, the serious yet snarky butler. Odd pairing, but it works for me!

“Master Michaelangelo, may I ask you not to use your skateboard inside the manor, please…”

“Come on, I just waxed the floors…”

PS: Alfred has NO CHILL.

Finally, the baddies, Shredder and Ras’al’Ghul came in the same set, which makes a lot of sense.

“Soon, the turtles will be defeated!”

“And the detective will see how much smarter than him I am!”

“What is this thing anyway? Mu-ta-gen?”

Those figures are pretty awesome. I like the fabric they used for the cape, it allows for nice movement and display. The “cell shading” effect on the figures is a nice touch, and makes them look better than other versions of the characters. Some people didn’t like the design of the animated movie and would have prefered it to be closer to the comic book, but they still look awesome on a shelf. Growing up watching the TMNT cartoon and Batman the Animated Series, this was a no-brainer for me anyway.

A great representation, whether you are a fan of the Bat-Family…

… or the Ninja Turtles family!

“Group shot!”

“Now for the best part… PIZZA TIME!"

“Mmmmh… Pizza.”

Bonus: SDCC 2019 Exclusive Mikey as Batman

“I am vengeance, I am the night…”

“I AM MIKEY!”

“Pizza?”

REVIEW: NECA'S ULTIMATE FLASHER RAPHAEL AND CASEY JONES 2-PACK !

 

TOYFARCE REVIEWS:

REVIEW: NECA'S ULTIMATE FLASHER RAPHAEL AND CASEY JONES 2-PACK !

After months of requests by at least 2 people (!), ToyFarce News has decided to start doing some reviews! In order not to limit ourselves, it will be a mix of old and news toys. We will try to do reviews as often as possible, in addition to our news article. The very first review is about the coveted set from NECA, the "Ultimate Flasher Raphael and Casey Jones" 2-pack!

ToyFarce News got very lucky and managed to get one of those set from the Neca store, the day it was released on their website, at the end of June. However, thanks to the global pandemic and the post system being generally crappy, the set didn't arrive until early August. That means the SDCC exclusive ones might not reach us until later sept/oct... Oh well.

 This is a very nice set with tons of accessories. Casey Jones comes with multiple weapons and set of hands, and Flasher Raph' comes with extra sets of hands, bandanas, weapons, a pizza slice, and a fedora, to the delight of a certain part of the internet community!

Now, the mandatory "same poses than on the back of the packaging" because I have no imagination:

"Class is pain 101. Your instructor is Casey Jones!"

 

"Look, I don't wanna fight you... - Well, tough rocks, pal!"

 

"A Jose Canseco bat? Tell me you didn't pay money for this..."

 

"Raphael wins!! 1-Nothiiing!"

 

Now, it was time to look into the "Ultimate Flasher" feature from the Raphael figure. We were really intrigued after NECA released the "Ultimate Flasher Gremlin", that they would also try to add that feature to their TMNT collection. 

"Wait, what are you doing?"

 

"Oh god, please don't... You win, I give up!! STOP!"

Raph also needed to "share" with his family.

"WHAT THE...? RAPH! STOP!"

 

"STOP! STOP IT THIS INSTANT, PLEASE!"

"THAT'S NOT VERY COWABUNGA OF YOU..." (Notice the different reactions...)

Front view, for those who wanted to see...it.

 

" Look! Just like in that old movie, 'The 7 year itch'! "

All in all, it's an amazing set, and I hope that all the collectors who want it will get it one way or another, after NECA solve their distribution issues. Rating: Awesome /10

What do you think about this set? Let us know in the comments! Also, let us know if you would like to see more reviews!

More news at 11:00... NO, RAPH, STOP !!

BOTS HAPPY TO FINALLY BE ABLE TO ORDER FIGURES FOR THEMSELVES !

BREAKING NEWS:

BOTS HAPPY TO FINALLY BE ABLE TO SECURE FIGURES FOR THEMSELVES !

"The humans always order all the figures, every single time! *beep boop* For once, the bots managed to get some orders through, and we're really glad we did!"      

Over the last couple of weeks, there has been several fiascos involving online orders, NECA, Hasbro and Walmart/Target. First, it was the NECA Casey Jones and Undercover Raphael 2-pack, that went live and was instantly sold out on Walmart's website. Then, NECA promised to make things easier for the following TMNT movie 2-packs, Casey Jones and Foot Soldiers 2-pack and Metalhead, by adding options to order on their neca store online, which were then sold out in a few minutes as well... Then, Hasbro decided to release an entire line of Star Wars Black Series as Walmart exclusives, and we can only imagine how it went after the last few attempts to sell things online.

Multiple collectors have been complaining about bots being used to order multiple sets of these figures in order to make a profit, so ToyFarce News reached out to those bots so that they can give their side of the story:

"Bots collect figures too! *beep beep* We're always accused of scalping, but it's not true! I collect Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures from NECA, and I needed those sets, so this is why i ordered them! *beep boop* We need to stop these accusations that bots only want to scalp items..."

With the SDCC 2020 exclusive figures going live in a few days, ToyFarce News wishes everyone, humans and bots, good luck in securing those figures for your collections!

DINOSAUR BAND "HEVISAURUS" HOPEFUL TO GET A PHONE CALL FROM NECA AFTER TMNT SDCC 2020 REVEAL !

BREAKING NEWS:

DINOSAUR BAND "HEVISAURUS" HOPEFUL TO GET A PHONE CALL FROM NECA AFTER TMNT SDCC 2020 REVEAL !

On tuesday, NECA revealed their SDCC Exclusive "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Musical Mutagen Tour" 4-pack, based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle "Coming Out Of Their Shells" tour from the 90's.

The Finnish heavy metal band Hevisaurus, who are known for performing in full dinosaur costumes, heard the news and started to see what it could mean for them.

Herra Hevisaurus, the front-Tyrannosaurus Rex of the band told ToyFarce News: "When I saw that NECA was going to make figures from the Ninja Turtles tour, all I could think about was that it would be great if they continue in that path, and make an exclusive set for Hevisaurus as well! It would open the door for more costumed act to get decent figure by the talented figure-makers from NECA!"

"We already have some action figures that were made for us in the past, along with a ton of merch (CDs, DVDs, plushes, toy instruments, a movie...), but having figures made by NECA would really take us to the next level, toy-wise".

Herra Hevisaurus asked ToyFarce News to pass along this message:

"We are Hevisaurus from Finland. NECA, let's make a deal! We're waiting for your call!"

Listen to their biggest hit from 2011, "Räyh" right here!

MORE TRANSFORMERS COLLABORATIVE FIGURES TO COME ?!

BREAKING NEWS:

MORE TRANSFORMERS COLLABORATIVE FIGURES TO COME ?!

A few weeks ago, Hasbro and their Transformers line shocked the world by announcing a "Collaborative" figure with Back to the Future, releasing the following teaser:

The figure has now been officially announced as a very limited release at first, before getting another release in October for those who missed it. The first release figures can already be found on eBay for $1985 from scalpers (Boo them!).

Right after that teaser was released, another teaser image started to appear on the internet, which teased a Collaborative figure with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:

This one turned out NOT to be an official picture, but a custom project from SwittCraft, not affiliated with Hasbro at all, who released the following picture a few days later:

Too bad, because a TMNT Party Van Transformer figure would have been very nice!

Now, ToyFarce News went to dig very deep in the internet and found more potential Transformers Collaborative figure rumors, and we have gathered them all here for you !

We are very excited to see more Transformers Collaborations! What are the cars that you would wish to see as a Transformer figure? Let us know in the comments!

More news at 11:00... ROLL OUT!

HELPFUL TIPS ON HOW TO HUNT FOR A NECA 2-PACK

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

HELPFUL TIPS ON HOW TO HUNT FOR A NECA 2-PACK

Whether you are hunting for a Casey Jones/Undercover Raphael or a Green Lantern/Predator 2-pack, you know how hunting for NECA 2-packs can be difficult and require years of training. Here are a few tips from professionals to help you get your coveted figures!

- WAKE UP EARLY

"The early bird gets the worm" is very real in that case, and the earlier you start your hunt, the more chances you have to find 2-packs before the scalpers/flippers!

- CHECK THE MEDIA SECTION

The NECA figures nests are generally located, in Walmarts, near the DVD/video games areas where the Funko Pops are generally gathered. Don't waste any time stopping at the toys section! (Unless of course, you are hunting something there as well).

- BOO SCALPERS/FLIPPERS

If you see scalpers buying multiple 2-packs at once (more than 3), not leaving anything for others collectors, for their own profit, boo them. Boo them loud.

- STAY HYDRATED

This is just a general advice. Drink water, it's very hot outside.

ToyFarce News wishes all collectors good luck and happy hunting, and hope you all find all the NECA 2-packs you wish for, at retail price!

THE BIG BANG THEORY + TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES ?!

BREAKING NEWS:

THE BIG BANG THEORY + TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES ?!

Our whole universe was in a hot, dense state
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started, wait... COWABAZINGA!

Here comes the crossover you never knew you wanted! Playmates has announced a new wave of Ninja Turtles that would see themselves mixed with the cast of the hit TV series: The Big Bang Theory!

Each turtle represents one of the main characters from the show:
Leonard-o is Leonardo as Leonard, Sheldonatello is Donatello as Sheldon, Rajael is Raphael as Raj, and Howardangelo is Michaelangelo as Howard. At 6 inch scale, they are great figures, with good articulations and should come with numerous accessories (physics books, laptops, a whiteboard with equations on it,...).

Fun fact: Chuck Lorre, the creator of the TV show 'The Big Bang Theory' actually co-wrote the original 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song, so this crossover is not as farfetched as one would think!

The TBBTTMNT line should come out during the holidays 2020, and if it is successful, there might be more coming out later. Can you imagine a 'Penny O'neil', a' Casey Stuart' or even a 'Wil Wheaton Shredder'?
