BROKEN - what style of Turtles are you wanting? Cartoon? Video Games? Comics? Movies? Toys? All of these styles are available (as modern figures I mean) plus many more. If it's cartoon style, the next question is are you planning on buying any other characters? You really need to decide this one (and be sure about it) before you start IMO. If there's even a chance you'd want other characters, I'd recommend the NECA "Turtles In Disguise" pack, the headsculpts are way better than previous NECA versions, and obviously there are lots of other characters available in matching style. Though quality control is rather iffy and poseability is limited. If you definetely don't want other characters, I'd recommend the Figuarts Turtles. The quality is great as is the poseability. But Figuarts didn't make any other characters and have seemingly given up on the idea. As Captain McKay said, be careful with collecting vintage, the modern era Playmates is one of the laziest companies in the world and are obsessed with making money in only the cheapest ways possible, and so are constantly rereleasing old Turtles toys. DO YOUR RESEARCH. There are sellers who will sell you a rerelease and pretend it's an original (and will charge you as such), you need to know what differences to look for, if you are truly wanting vintage originals, and make sure to see multiple pictures from multiple angles. Also be aware some of the soft plastics on the originals have a tendency to furr up and discolor even when still factory sealed, though there are techniques to restore them once opened. Though of course if you are happy with rereleases thats easier, but again as Captain McKay said be aware they are not exact replicas in most cases. Colors in particular are often very different. Again - research is the key. There are plenty of resources and databases online for Turtles toys, old and new. I like the cartoon style, and do plan on buying other characters. The NECA frogs 2 packs are on my radar. I like what I see with that line. I’d only collect vintage figures MOC.

I want to start buying some turtle figures. What would you recommend, the NECA cartoon 4 pack, or the SH Figuarts turtles? I like the looks of both. One vintage figure I have my eyes on is navy seal Mike. I want vintage figures too, I know playmates is making the retros now that I see in Target. Would you recommend collecting vintage? Lots of ways you could go. NECA will keep releasing the toon and movie stuff for a while I’d imagine, so it wouldn’t be long before they reissue the cartoon turtles (the last one was a year ago for the first Haulathon I believe, in style guide colors). As for the playmates “vintage” stuff, just be aware that they aren’t exact reproductions as some parts and coloring are different. But if you don’t mind that, they do look pretty cool in a display. I read here that there might be a SDCC exclusive turtle 4 pack? Would that be better to wait for?

The ring bell from the Montreal Screwjob. Such a big moment in wrestling. This would be awesome

Motor City Machine Guns, The North, Good Brothers, Ken Shamrock, Purazzo, etc. Just don’t have Josh Matthews on commentary. I’d like David Penzer to be the ring announcer for Dynamite. Highly doubt it though. He was with WCW.

Found a fresh shipper with 4 Jakes, no chase. Same here I want that green tights chase! Was expecting at least 1 green Jake since there is 4, at least I got the set.

I had them take legends 8 away from me at checkout because of street date. Same with some Star Wars two weeks ago. They shouldn’t put it on the shelves if it has the street date.

I purchased the NXT In Your House shirt this year, and the firefly fun house Wrestlemania shirt that replicates the mega powers shirt. Only time I ordered shirts from WWE. .

I hope they remake Bret, Pillman, and Davey with Hart Foundation Jackets. I know a Bulldog is about to come out, but the last time those jackets were released was years ago. Need them to go with Anvil.

Saw a picture of a 30 years of Undertaker shipper at Walmart, filled with the exclusive Taker, Survivor Series elites, Elite 78, and decade of dominance. Where was this? Also the Survivor Series elites are supposed to be a Target exclusive or am I wrong. Not sure what state, they were in the shipper so I’m assuming not.
