Got the metallics and Pudgy pig in today.

Just a quick assessment

Pudgy Pig

I'm still perplexed why they even bothered with a con version and honestly don't waste the money on the con. Waste it on this normal release. I think this figure is the best of these monster wave figures. It's height similar to the size of the monster on the live action show to the scale of the figures Hasbro produces.

Also I'm having a lot of fun with the articulation of the mouth. It can house quite a few things in there while closed.


Metallics

Sans pink, all the helmets have been noticeably improved. Finally having an accurate MMPR Red helmet is very nice. Black has been redesigned. Blue and Yellow have been tweaked. All the figures have visible necks now.

My 3rd picture has the metallic red helmet on the original body. In hand the difference between the shades of red isn't that stark. The helmet just seems darker. Now the same can't exactly be said for the others but you still it's nice if you want to do that.

Then there is the Rocky head. This looks like the actor. It would be nice to have his zeo haircut but I don't know where they could sneak that in even with Ninjetti Red.


Of course the caveat of all this is Hasbro should have had these changes prior to releasing the first figures. On the one hand I'd say get them but then Pink doesn't have the corrections found in the Kat 2Pack(And might have for the April figure in the TMNT set). Based on leaks we could potentially see a new Mmpr Black and the Sentry's have the new helmet sans the mouth plate.


Also glitter everywhere from the boxes.
