I'd like to get Ken and Guile when those come out but I'm not willing to pay over $20 for any of the playmates 2-packs. So I'll just hope for clearance. It's really confusing to me that Playmates has these licenses and they're bulking them in with Turtles. It's really a deterrent to something I otherwise want to purchase. I like their Cobra Kai figures. I would buy all the SF2 characters. But I don't want these same Turtles I bought like ten years ago and didn't like the first time. I don't care how they decide to dress them up. NECA and Super7 being able to make incredible TMNT product while Playmates is doing absolutely nothing with it until we get another terrible movie has really been such a blessing. I dare say you’re better off just waiting for Jada Toys to do the Street Fighter characters you want. They genuinely look VERY nice and should run for about $25 apiece. |

Definitely going to go that way. Thanks! |

You can save approx $100 by preordering Wave 9 of the Super7 TMNT through their site. Not sure if its a glitch or if it will hold up but figured why not give it a shot. Using ShopPay to break it up the payments and save $100 felt like the way to go.  |

Completely random, but is anyone getting the Stranger Things/TMNT sets only for the turtles? I’m looking for the Eleven figure, if anyone is selling just her I’d split the cost of the set.

^Has anyone seen the TMNT/Stranger Things packs, yet?
Although they were announced first, I am seeing the Street Fighter packs all over the Targets I regularly haunt. I have not yet seen the TMNT/Stranger Things sets. (At least as far as I can remember.)

I’ve seen the sets with Hopper and Eleven, don’t recall which Turtle came with them though. |

New Super7 TMNT ReAction wave announced: toynewsi.com/345-45193Heavy Metal Raph, Napoleon Bonafrog, Triceraton and Chrome Dome I keep hoping Playmates will announce another cohort set. Crazily, the first set had the figures I would want LEAST out of the the OG line. So a possible second set should at least have a few figures I would want. |

Shipped my NECA Mirage Casey and Super7 Surfer Mikey from Big Bad. Then two days later my NECA Mirage Utroms and Van Helsing Splinter hit my pile of loot haha.
Is anyone still seeing TMNT2 Shredder in Walmart? I saw NECA had a Black Friday sale where they posted him this morning but he’s sold out.

Definitely going to go that way. Thanks! http://instagr.am/p/Clr2Gr0JR9E Jada Street Fighter series 2 looks great. For $25 each, these look like they're gonna be way better than the Playmates TMNT two-pack versions. Got my Super7 Surfer Mikey and my NECA Mirage Casey from Big Bad. Currently have two Utroms and the Van Helsing Splinter in my pile of loot, and I may be getting a black and white Foot Ninja and the TMNT2 movie Shredder soon. Not a bad way to end the year. |

Christmas came early Awesome! Hopefully I see a shipment notification for mine too! I did get a ship notice for the last Loot Crate with the video game Armagon figure. This was the one I was least interested in, but maybe the crate itself will have some cool extras. |

Either this is a massive labeling error, or Playmates has finally lost the master toy license for TMNT. New listings make it seem McFarlane is the company making the toys for the upcoming movie... news.toyark.com/2022/12/22/mcfarlane-toys-producing-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-movie-figures-490720This is huge if Playmates has lost the master license. They have been making (at the very least) the kids toys since Day 1 of the franchise having toys. AT the same time, it might explain their weird behavior with the line over the last few years. Nothing but random two packs and re-re-rereleases. Also at the same time, has McFarlane ever produced and released a purely kids line? One that did not have any kind of collector/adult bent to it? |

They got me. Every time I order a Mezco One:12, I ask myself if I’m gonna do anything with it. The answer is ALWAYS “no.” But I keep buying them every so-often. |

Playmates is releasing A LOT of "new" retro product lately... 12inch Turtles toynewsi.com/216-45805Storage Shell Turtles toynewsi.com/216-45750Re-re-re-rereleases of villain figures (Shredder, Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady, and Leatherhead) are being found at Target. The classic Pizza Tossin' Turtles will also be getting a Re-rerelease. I would also start checking places like Ross and Burlington. Unless the yt short I saw was old, TMNT Classics 86 are showing up at Burlington. Along with the Cobra Kai packs. Hasbro Green Ranger Shredder has been found at Ross. (Gives me hope the other sets might show up at Ross. I still need the Leo/Donnie set.) |

I'm very tempted by the Storage Shell releases. I loved the sculpts of the old figures, but I don't want to get the new ones if they're too different from the originals.

I really wish someone else would get a crack at the 1990 movie turtles. The NECA ones are great but I'd like to see something with more articulation/playability, even if it were a 3.75 scale.
