thanks, it's a Vittsjo from IKEA ok so next question, how did you get them to fit? just bending the knees? yep, moved the knees and the thighs slightly just so they're a little bit higher than a crouch where it looks like they're basically about to attack, it worked out way better than I would have expected. The real scary part is the noises these things make when you move them, I am always convinced an arm or leg will break off lol. |

The real scary part is the noises these things make when you move them, I am always convinced an arm or leg will break off lol. they will. i tried to manipulate Leo's legs once, and the leg literally snapped at the peg with not a ton of force. it was also a couple years ago when they were not available online anywhere. i was so angry lol i was about to shell out (no pun) $200 for a new one, but my friend ended up wanting to sell his set of 4 turtles, so he sold Leo to me for cost. |

Are the Turtles in Disguise still being found in stores? I really want cartoon Turtles. What’s the point of NECA looking for people to have an entry point in the line of you can’t find this set? The Turtles should not be this hard to get

The Turtles should not be this hard to get the unfortunate part is that the turtles actually were NOT hard to get at all..... 3 years ago.....(or maybe 2....i cant remember if i first saw them in 2018 or 2019) i literally passed on the first round of 2 packs, and then the re-deco's/re-done 2 packs MULTIPLE times. because I was in a different place mentally, and was not prepared to get as "in" to collecting these as I am now. However NECA has plans in place, they wanted to get out all these other characters too....but they had to know people were going to want to catch up so my real issue is why are we getting 25 baxter/splinter 2 packs at every target in the country, and then re-stocks of the triceratons with the frogs instead of re-releasing the original 2 packs like they randomly did with Leo/Shredder a few months ago Same goes for the movie turtles, I can't tell you how many times I was going to order them from Gamestop but just didn't because I second-guessed, and it was an absolute nightmare trying to find every one of the 2 packs except Splinter/Shredder |

NECA section is a joke. I see all of these pictures of loaded NECA sections and the one at my Target is all over the place. I picked up the movie Turtles from GameStop 2 years ago when they first hit. But I really want a set of cartoon ones. I’ve been cherry picking those Super7 ReAction figures just to fill the void. |

The disguise set is apparently hitting again, I've seen many people say they're finding a few at their Targets. I went to a local one myself this morning and grabbed the last one, finally. Glad to have the set, it's really nice, and it's different enough from the original releases where it doesn't feel like just a retread of the ones from a few years ago.

The Target I usually go to hasn't had any TMMT other than ReActions. I forget the Neca stuff even exists because I just don't ever see it at Target or Walmart. I'd like to find the disguise pack, but I'm not into TMNT enough right now to pay secondary market prices. I probably don't need to start another line anyway. Neca is hitting a homerun with these figures, though, no doubt about that (it'd be grand slam if we could more easily purchase them ). |

Today was the best day I've had "hunting" in a LONG time. Walked into a Target I haven't visited in probably 4 years, to find the NECA rep stocking a box of stuff he told me had been sitting in the backroom for a month. In the box was this:  It took everything I had not to mark out right in the store. Had a nice, brief conversation with the rep and he was happy to give me the pack after he had taken a picture of the section so he could show his manager he put out the stock I truly cannot believe I got this thing. I've checked SO many Target's. The positive emotions I felt this morning are what keeps me in these hobbies. |

it is really driving me nuts now not finding these Turtles in Disguise, I haven't had this much trouble with NECA Turtles in a while, most of the last few sets I found with relative ease compared to these.

I was at a toy convention Sunday and everyone that had the Disguise pack was asking nearly $300.

omg it finally happened, saw someone on IG post about a Target 45 mins from me having 5 Turtles in Disguise on the shelf, hopped in the car and drove as fast as I could and they had ONE left when I got there! And they also had a Major Bludd as well so I grabbed him too! what a day, all caught up until Mondo Gecko hits!   |
