I'm sure yo'll find a use for them too - that batrep should be interesting!<br />IIRC there was also a game with turle miniatures in, so that may be worth looking into too, especially at the price of your figures.Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-42142097043343217182016-01-11T16:41:49.780+00:002016-01-11T16:41:49.780+00:00Interesting street theatre, one that I would watch...Interesting street theatre, one that I would watch!<br /><br />I really need to try 7TV I've been looking at it for a little while now.Da Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-2642691960789008922016-01-11T12:47:34.938+00:002016-01-11T12:47:34.938+00:00Hmm, I can remember passing by a TMNT street theat...Hmm, I can remember passing by a TMNT street theatre production sometime in the 1980s, somewhere in San Francisco or the Bay area (can't think exactly where).<br /><br />It's been suggested that the middle one of these 3 Dreadball coaches would make a good Splinter: http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/dreadball/dreadball/product/dreadball-coaches-3-models.html .

Normally it's me getting others to spend their money. ;-) I'll dig out my old TMNT figures and photograph them alongside the new ones. Oh, and I've decided I needed Splinter as well, so have ordered a suitable looking Ratman coach from Mantic's Deadball game.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-90259514417963461242016-01-10T14:48:26.066+00:002016-01-10T14:48:26.066+00:00A cheeky pic of them Bryan?

By the way, you'll be thrilled to know that I have also ordered the four Turtles from My Way Miniatures, although I didn't go for the Sewer Set as I can't think of a use for the scenery piece. Good on you for getting two of your followers to buy these figures.

I prefer 28mm to work in so it fits the terrain and the skirmish style I like. The early TMNT stuff was a bit darker with a comedic edge to it, sadly Nickalodeon kiddied it up until recently with the new film getting closer to the original (although the turtles are massive!)Da Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-80414192158764788682016-01-10T11:13:43.829+00:002016-01-10T11:13:43.829+00:00I totally agree with you, Andy, about the early co...I totally agree with you, Andy, about the early comic versions of the Turtles being the best. These figures are most excellent and I'm kind of tempted to buy them myself. However, I already own a set of metal TMNT figures that I bought many years ago. They are rather small and I can't remember who made them but I reckon they must be worth something nowadays.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-33974787076206964402016-01-10T10:44:28.964+00:002016-01-10T10:44:28.964+00:00Lol glad it's not just Bryan's reviews tha...Lol glad it's not just Bryan's reviews that make you reach for your hard pressed gaming wallet!

Like you I've gone for the Sewer Set. Great paint-jobs all-round. Impossibly hard to pick a fave as a result. I'm also much impressed with the buildings they're on.
