Hmm..they look cool. I'll have to buy them. Oh and on the back of the minis, they have art for other figures including:
Leondardo
Raphael
Donatello
Michelangelo
AND
Splinter
Foot Soldier
Shredder
But I haven't seen the last three yet.

I'm not exactly a fan of mini figures. They are just too small.

New minis...? You know, I'd never even seen the old ones... Where in the world are they sold? (That's probably a stupid question, but, there aren't many cool stores around me) :(

I see the mini's everywhere up here (Canada). Walmart, TRU and Zellers mainly. When I have made some trips down to the US, I also saw them at a Target. They are probably so small you just missed them. :)
Seriously tho, they are in the same area as the action figures, just look for the yellow/orangish packaging with the TMNT logo on it.
Does anyone know when Shredder and the Foot Soldier ones come out?

Well there a KB Toys near me that no occasion carrys great old toys. They carry the mini 4 pack for maybe half the price of them indivedually.
But the versions of the toys that came with the exo-Frames a few years back were much better. While both sets use the same mold, the plastic used on the exo-Frame ones look much better

Man, I wish I lived where you guys who've seen these live. I've never seen them. And I check all turtle aisles everywhere I go. I've checked Walmart, Target, Suncoast, Toys R Us and KBs. They are either not sent to my area, or they sell out very, very quickly. The hunt is still on. :)

:o Awww.. they look sooo cute! I likes minis, especially highly detailed ones. These look really awesome, since the first set of minis were basically a smaller size of the original TMNT figures.
I want the Battle Shell.. and Nano.. and...

*Slaps palm on forehead* Why didn't I think of that? That's a great idea. If the stores around me suck, search the internet! And I'm not being sarcastic; I really didn't think of that.
It's been a long week...

You know by Murphy's Law as soon as you order some online you will find them at the store for a couple bucks left :P Sorry man, but that always seems to happen to me. I would wait abit longer and if you can't find any I am sure someone here will send you a set. Hell I would send you a set. They are only $2.47can apiece. It will cost you more to ship them :)

You know, you're probably right. Knowing my luck, that's excactly what will happen to me: order them, and then find them in a store. Yeah, I think I'll wait it out a bit more... Then, if I don't find them, I'll have to rely on the kindness of strangers here, and plead for help. :wink:

This is funny, cause I was going to CVS today to see if they had any G.I. Joe figures (they sometimes do, & were the place that I got the first of the new joes from). So I walked there like 30 minutes ago & saw no joes there. :(
But, while I'm looking around the super-tiny toy section I see something that surprised the heck outta me:
A 4-Pack of the 4 Mini Turtles! :o :o
I was totally psyched, that find made the whole trip worth it. The price tag said $4.99 so I figured that wasn't too bad & went to buy them. The clerk rings me up & says "That'll be $1.36.". I was like "Works for me!", paid for my tmnt & left the place.
I checked my receipt when I got home & found out they were on sale for $1.25 for the 4-pack, which is an insanely good deal as I think I heard somebody say that a single figure can go for $1.99 itself.
Well now I broke out my old Leatherhead figure & have him trashin' the turtles, cause now he's actually in scale with them. :D
I just hope if they make a new Leatherhead, that he's at least 8 inches long, that'd be cool too.

For those who are wondering, the second series of the mini-figures will be available sometime later this month. Although, no word on whether or not they'll receive the same four-pack treatment as the Turtles did.
Oh, and the tentative list for the third series is:
- Oroku Saki
- Hun
- Baxter Stockman
- Casey Jones

Success!! Waiting for a bit payed off, and big time.
I finally found the mini turtles. At my local CVS, I got the four pack of turtles for... get this... $.49 cents. That's right, .49 cents.
I was so excited I made my brother go back and get more. :D
P.S. - If you don't believe me I will scan my reciept (if I can find it) :wink:

The mini april,shredder,splinter, and foot soldier look so much like the bigger ones. Strange.

I don't see why, but if you want to, I wouldn't mind seeing it. ^^

Probably because they're of higher quality. =P

The new minis are neat but I do not know if I will have the funds for them.

Too bad we don't have any CVS's around here, otherwise I'd go out and buy them.

Seeing how cheap each one is, that really shouldn't be an issue. Even for people with next to no money... unless you really are that broke. =P
Anyway, I have a question (more of a request, really), for all those who own any of the mini figures... more specifically, ones that are still MOC. I was wondering, could anyone make a HQ (high quality) scan of the back of the card? I really like the Shredder and Foot Soldier pics, and wanted to convert them into Avatars.
Thanks in advance. ^_^

the back of the card on the four pack is just brown cardboard nothing on it if my memory is right cause i got them for easter. :)

Oh... isn't that usually one of the signs of a bootleg? I'm not saying that it is one, it's just suspicious. Thanks for informing me about that, though. 'preciate it. ^^;;
In that case, I guess I need to alter my request...
Could anyone who owns an individually packaged mini figure, still on the card, scan the back of the card?
