God, I hate action figures with no knee and elbow articulation.

nice to see krang seem to get an update of his robobody  to a terminator.a little metalo going on. april looks a little too cartoonish even for her animie look. and love that sewer playset turtles are back again on toy shelves

The playset itself and the turtle figurines don't look that bad to me...but everything else looks so god awful it makes my brain shudder. 

Kang was on TMNT? Did he ki-ya high like some sort of Shaolin eunuch?

Now, KRANG, was kind of silly. I don't mind the Temrinator look. I always thought "Being a giant in a red thong does not take you out of the Uncanny Valley,, Krang; actually, it makes you worse than before."

The Foot soldiers look like the ones from the movies

She kinda looks like a cartoon version of Kari Byron from Mythbusters. And now I really want a cartoon toy version of the Mythbusters.

Dunno, New April reminds me of a Ben10 character. Whether or not that's a good thing...

A moment's investigation reveals that poor April's cranium looks a LOT less freakshowy if stretched vertically, slightly, and then scaled down maybe 3%.

Now I'm just afraid of what the OTHER humans on the show must look like if that's what one of the lead characters' skull ended up as.

I gotta say, while I think you're probably right on about the creation of the new April's look: at least she's not wearing a helmet or knee pads. Yet.

And, curiously, the ball and socket joins on her  legs combined with the unusually straight posture indicate that she can execute the splits almost perfectly. Wow.

Three toes on my turtles and a teenage April.  Goddamn you Nickelodeon. 

That sewer playset IS pretty rad though.

I'm less disturbed by the fact that Kang is riding a slightly effeminate Terminator (is that red lipstick?) than by the fact that Kang has ELBOWS!  This is Wrong.

(Okay, you are seriously a nerd when you're harshing tiny details on a nerd property that you're too old to have any attachment to, except that you discovered once by accident that the first, live-action, Turtles movie is EXCELLENT when viewed under the influence of heavy prescription pain-killers after you've fallen through a balcony railing and landed on your back in a parking lot.)

Dang Adulthood.  Nobody will take me seriously when I tell them I want the sewer playset for my birthday next month.

Does Krang's robot have lipstick on?

Are those... wellies that April's wearing? With that in mind, looks like she's off to a music festival.

Wait, a yellow jumpsuit is more feminine than a skin-tight top and jean shorts + legging? Last time I checked wearing leggings under your shorts is a very girly thing to do ;)

Besides, maybe old-school Krang will get a TMNT Classics figure.

That Krang figure that is pictured is so old-school that it isn't even Krang—it looks like the T.C.R.I. that appeared in the original, pre-cartoon Eastman/Laird comics. They were the ones that inadvertently created the Turtles (and Splinter) when they lost some of the toxic waste that was created when they were trying to build a portal to return to their home world.

Also, wasn't the "old-school" Krang figure basically a fishbowl with legs? Did they ever make a toy of his pudgy android body that was on the cartoon?

Must admit I much prefer pornstar April O'Neil as the TMNT pinball machine cleavage-tastic version of April O'Neil. tumblr_lvymwsHWcX1r22jumo1_1280.jpg (960×1280) (SFW)

That said, I'm perfectly okay with this version too though.  I like anime eyes & tomboys & shit like that.  No hatin' here.

Gwen Tennyson? Is that you?

I was going to comment on how the very original TMNT April O'Neil was the best.

After googling images of April O'Neil, I have lost any ambition to do that.

Rule 34 is in full effect.

that Krang?(maybe just a Utrom) looks straight out of a Eastman/Laird poster I use to have

Well, at least with this April design, we won't have any screw-ups writing fanfic about her - Oh, who am I kidding, there's probably at least twelve hormone-challenged fucksticks writing up fics about her right now.

That is a badger Splinter, no one will be able to convince me otherwise.

April looks like somebody bleached Sari from Transformers Animated.

you can save yourself some money and just have the kids go play in a real sewer

So apparently the Sewer playset has a cloning device, because by my count, there are 5 turtles in that shot.

What's up with April's left foot?  That isn't her sock showing through a hole in her shoe, is it?
