In addition, Rocksteady and Bebop from the 6-inch TMNT Classic Collection should be arriving within the next month, at TRU and specialty retailers.

At SDCC, Playmates confirmed they’ll be adding movie Turtles from the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the 6-inch line. That’s extremely cool, but I’m still waiting for Shredder and the Foot Ninjas.

Playmates TMNT Fall 2013

Playmates has revealed new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures for their fall line-up. The Cockroach Terminator and Rat King are new villains, and the Turtles get done up in Stealth Tech.
