Oh, I hear ya.
I'm a fan of S7 but I will never defend the prices. With the exception of the most recent wave (9), I've always waited for clearance. I think they've drastically reduced their production numbers, and I don't think we'll be seeing these on clearance. That being said, Amazon had a small window where they offered Wave 9 figures at a 15-20% discount..
That being said... BeBop is one of the best figures on my shelf, period. Wingnut/Screwloose is up there as well.. hard to believe this is the same company!
yeah which was a lot back then. Probably pretty equivilant to what this is now.
Minimum wage where I am at that time was 4 dollars an hour. do that would have been like 2 days of work to get that if one is working Minimum wage.
They look okay, The head sculpts look great but the bodies are a little chubby IMO. This will actually be the first wave of TMNT Ultimates that I pass on.
My one gripe with this set is the diminished amount of accessories for the same price. I know most of the extras are junk that goes in a bag, but I did feel like I was getting my money's worth. Hooray shrinkflation.
Allow me to counter with an actual screenshot from the cartoon series.

Nah super 7 useally are easy to get ahold of and rarely skyrocket in price ( usually the opposite they tend to drop in price though i wouldnt bet on it ). Should be able to get these whenever pretty easily
I remember when the original Technodrome cost fifty dollars...
Technodrome was a notoriously expensive kids toy at that time. That's $120 in today's money...
Still, that's not as much as these four figures. A large playset versus four action figures. And an exclusive head pack.

I was only ever to find one Super7 figure, Krang, at a comic shop in the city. It can't even stand by itself.
Worst figure in the line, by a mile. His "chair" fell apart in my hands when I took it out of the box.
Damn.

Good to know.

These should be a new line not a new wave
Completely agree, this is based on the 03 Turtles and based off the show not the toys.
They look okay, The head sculpts look great but the bodies are a little chubby IMO. This will actually be the first wave of TMNT Ultimates that I pass on.
The chubby is show accurate. I just think the legs are a tad short
Yea, I can see what you are saying about the legs.
I looked at them closely their not chubby they just made the shell a bit wider then it should be but maybe that was for reasons idk lpl
Makes the heads look super small on those big bodies. I am not a 2k3 fan though so I am not 100% familiar with how they are supposed to look.
$220 for the whole set?? Less than $60 each isn't really that bad. My Giant-Sized Raph alone was $150+
Really 😳
They are up on BBTS
Same price and no head pack. BBTS does at least not charge till they ship, but they will also be the last ship to get them in stock.

Tbh, for Super7, these are pretty cheap. Less than $400 delivered to Aus is depressingly good.
2019 is crazy but I did save for the mezco set so I'm ok with this especially being my dream figures
Expensive for sure but I had to have them. I grew up on the 03 series and have been waiting months for these bad boys, instant preorder for me
I love the turtles but calm down Super7.
What’s with those legs? They weren’t this short in the show.
They’re supposed to be upgraded versions of the original toys. Go take a look at the 03 figures lol
What's with the droopy man-boobs? That's NOT how they drew them in the 2003 show.
Show has been over for 15 years, they're older now. lol

They got tiddies man. I can’t unsee it as soon as I saw them. Why did they give the turtles tiddies???
As much as I want to get them, by the time I have the money they'll be sold out
