This has been something I've been perplexed by as well since I was a teenager having been born in '85. Every time I have asked for a clear and accurate description it pretty much lands like around what Rowdy said above. Heard some folks claim it tastes like Pepsi.
We had the chance to give it another shot when Stranger Things made those promotional cans a few years ago and of course I dragged my feet on that and never got one.
There are still some on eBay but they're probably a couple years expired by now. Better than 30 years expired!
I'd say give it a try and let us know.

No big secret. Likely these are going to go in stock with a decent inventory if you have looked at any of the previous Fan Takeover sets (eventually).
Here's the trick:
If you have someone with an Amazon wishlist that had already saved them from the previous release (which is probably scarce as few people got ahold at that time), you can add to your cart from their wishlist, save to your own wishlist (BEFORE ordering), and then place the order. Make sure they're on your wishlist or you will be buying for the person who sent it to you.
So to the folks in this thread who have these on their wishlists still that are willing to share them publicly (or privately with a fellow board member) this dude iamcline is looking for the hook up! Slide into his messages!
I'd do it for you but I do not have an Amazon wishlist. Sorry.

Is that a new head scan? I know there was a similar one on a few basics but wanted to see what everyone thought.

Also, anyone know if there's a company that has done mini-figs of the 90's TMNT? Similar to Loyal Subjects? I have a visual of this in my head for some reason and I forget where/when I saw it or if I even did.

I really only want Shredder but I'm willing to get the 2-Pack if it's cheaper. Oddly enough I don't have a Wal Mart in close proximity where I live so I'm just kind of stuck searching for the Gamestop one online. The 2-Packs aren't on Wal Mart's site, right? The 2 pack is $49.99. No, they're not on the site. I can stop at my Walmart later this week if you want. Thank you bro. DM'd.

It's a shiny blue sticker that says "Authentic ToyNToys" with a "www.toyntoys.asia" url. Never heard of/seen this before and the website leads to being under construction. Even the figure inside just looks lower quality. Think I might have been duped. Bummer. Are you exclusively wanting the single pack? The Shredder/Splinter 2 pack is all over Walmarts right now. I really only want Shredder but I'm willing to get the 2-Pack if it's cheaper. Oddly enough I don't have a Wal Mart in close proximity where I live so I'm just kind of stuck searching for the Gamestop one online. The 2-Packs aren't on Wal Mart's site, right?

I bought what I thought was a Gamestop Shredder off ebay but it turns out it doesn't have the Gamestop seal on it. Has some entirely different seal. Did I get a bootleg? Pretty sure those were Gamestop exclusive. What is the other seal on it? It's a shiny blue sticker that says "Authentic ToyNToys" with a "www.toyntoys.asia" url. Never heard of/seen this before and the website leads to being under construction. Even the figure inside just looks lower quality. Think I might have been duped. Bummer.

Well, Christian got me to 'toe-in-warm-water' the show this week and I watched the segment leading up to his appearance which I didn't dislike. I don't mind them taking the approach of making the explosion an issue but it's also dumb enough that they could just move on. I am not the biggest Kenny Omega fan but I'm looking forward to the feud and am all for Christian cementing himself immediately in the title picture. Definitely adds credibility (for me at least) and adds another name besides Jericho to have had a hand in getting things moving. If anyone can lead him to a good, US style match it's Christian.
I couldn't watch much more than that because the women's stuff was just absolutely abysmal. I hate to use wrestling terms 'out loud' but I will just say what I saw was embarrassing and I shudder to think that this is what's happening on a regular basis and why the show gets the criticism it does. If that was the 'standard', the criticism is warranted because it immediately tuned me out.

I don't know if it's an age gap thing or what but this wasn't really an issue when I was back doing Ringside or Riot, which is just so bizarre to me. Part of the reason I get lost when it comes to current wrestling I guess. We were mad at the time about how booking was but age never really got into it (other than Heyman's famous "if you're over 40 I'm going to chop your head off" line).
The major problem with all of wrestling STILL remains poor booking. Even veterans need to be booked with wins and championships to bring younger talent into the same pool. Age should be the least of anyone's concern as long as their talent is there and is good.

Those who keep saying Shelton is too old need to look at Edge, Orton, Lesnar. Theres nothing wrong with a veteran who can still go getting their piece of the pie. This needs to be tattooed on people's foreheads at the moment. Wrestling need veterans just as much as it needs fresh talent (if not more at the moment).

Wow, the absolute grief being given over Christian as the signing is just indicative of how skewed and belligerent some people can be when it comes to wrestling in general. Tony Kahn pretty much on the nose called him out. Really the only viable options were Punk, Christian and Brock based on the clues he gave and we're talking about a main eventer who had a massive program with Randy Orton and tangled with mid-to-high carders including The Shield before his career slowed down. If you don't think he's a main eventer, fine, but the folks disappointed or bellyaching are kidding themselves.
I am not a regularly watching AEW or WWE fan at the moment but to say the guy doesn't 'move the needle' doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. It moves it at least a little bit as long as there are people who would turn in when he shows up, and I am one of those people who had 0 interest in watching based on what I've seen until I heard about this.
That rings especially true if Christian heard the way he would have been booked with a WWE deal, didn't like it and chose another option. He's been criminally booked almost his whole career and I can't blame him for going somewhere else. While I know he's a favorite to me he's for sure a legendary get and adds at least a bit of credibility for me.
This reminds me of when he was booked for the Elimination Chamber and a false rumor started (that then picked up steam!) about how Brock would beat up Christian and take his spot in the Chamber. What is it with people being so unhappy with this guy working main events? I don't understand and I might never.

If Shut Your Mouth and Here Comes the Pain were one game with combined rosters it would be the best but I'll have to lean towards Shut Your Mouth because that was just way too solid. That's like the best wrestling roster in a game ever almost.

Hey y'all,
Not necessarily a wrestling figure question but I have a smaller scale ('4) figure that I want to make a molded 'peg' for. It's a Loyal Subjects Ghostbuster and the proton pack sucks, so I found a bigger, nicer one and want to apply it.
The pegs for the accessory and the peg hole on the figure line up, but they are too short. Any thoughts on a moldable plastic that can fixate permanently to the accessory and I can shape to fit into that hole?
