Beijing policy makers say they're eager to encourage greater domestic consumption. Chinese shoppers are famously luxury-happy, flying to Hong Kong and further afield in droves to stock up on Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel and more. All of which means the stage is set for the next great innovation to hit China: Louis Vuitton Outlet malls.

• ToyNewsI has a gallery of Playmates' TMNT toys here. There's some capybara-type mutant I don't recognize, and artwork of upcoming characters I do -- i.e., Metalhead, Baxter Stockman, and a few others.
• Diamond Select got The Expendables license. This makes me extremely happy.
• NECA got the Prometheus license. This makes me exceedingly disinterested.

• There's finally going to be a good Legend of Zelda Link figure, courtesy of the Japanese Figma line. You can see the unpainted prototype at Kotaku.
More links from around the web!
hey what does it mean by glides? like does it go off the ground or is it still on the ground
I'm guessing the dog mutant could be Rhazar. Though I don't see Tokka anywhere...
Alos nice to see at least that Baxter Stockman will once gain be a black man like he was in the comics and '03 show. I never liked the interpretation of him as a crazy middle-aged white guy in the '80s show. I guess back then it didn't look good to portray a black man as a villain? Nice to see we live in slightly more enlightened times.
Also I could be mistaken, but I think there's an unpainted prototype of Metlahead too.
Ninjapizza.net says that the new mutants names are Dogpound, Fishface and Stinkweed.I'll let you guess whos who.Also I dont feel about the "ninja arsenal" weapons. On one hand its a fun throw back to the original line, on the other hand I want more out of may toys now day.That said I like the types of weapon they come with, like the hook swords and throwing daggers.But with out paint they dont look so good.And they have show Mikey with chains, dont take that away from us Playmates, please...
Psst. Hey Raphael.
I know you're the Ninja here and I don't mean to be an insufferable know it all...but I think you might be holding those wrong.
I've long heald that in the darn near 20 years since this movie came out I can't believe we as a species have not created the technology Mattel would need to make this thing.
I curse Richard Nixon on that account.
Well, it glides over surfaces, so they do get points for trying...I'll accept this offering Mattel has made, but seriously, though: Scientists, you have three years left to create a real hoverboard. If you fail...Well, thanks to Mattel, your punishment has has been downgraded from "death by circus bears" to "repeatedly kicked in the balls by a donkey".
Also, that Greta figure will give me no end of nightmares for the next few days. Only a few days, though, because after what I've seen today, the bar for crazy has been set high.
That does in fact make me very happy. Ever better is that they are making a Gizmo figure as he appeared in Gremlins (he's the raggedy looking one). For myself and the three others in the world who actually give a shit about such a thing, this is a glorious day.
I must be one of them, thenXD
If I had the scratch I'd buy the shit out of the Lady Gremlin...Then I'd just need models of the Spider Gremlin and the Bat Gremlin. (Oh, and Tony Randall Gremlin)
It better come in a box that plays the DUH DUH DUH DUHHHHH sound effect when I lift it over my head.
here, let's see if we can make it better for you, rob:
NECA is also making a figure of Greta the Lady Gremlin. This will make TR contributor Chris Cummins extremely happy, and makes me my PENIS cry tears of orgasmic joy.
you're right

You'd think Lady Gremlin would be the attention getting thing in the last pic, but nope, Rocky Crotch just drags my attention.
At least I assume that's Rocky, I'm not good at telling just from their boxers.
I think it's cool how it looks like blood is flying out of the Rocky figures mouth.
Now if Mattel was smart they would make a hover board that used magnets to float. You could only float in one place but it would be a start.
I look forward to the many Youtube videos of idiots hurting themselves on the hoverboard.
