I want my donatello zipper pull

Like I am seriously pissed about this. Donatello is my favorite turtle and he got the shaft. It's super unfair. Anyone else super pissed about this?

Its particularly devistating for hard core donatello fans. Especially since the renderings have gotten better each time. They clip on zippers making them easier to locate and pull.

Yeah it's BS. With this show on its way out the door, looks like Nick doesn't care about it anymore.

I have every DVD except the newest and one came with mini figures but nothing ever like what you're describing.

Also as a Donatello fan I think you'd be used to him being left out. He gets thw least merch.

Nah, it actually was legit on certain copies of the previous three DVDs, or at least the ones sold at Wal-Mart. Officially, it was called "backpack pull." They were marked with a sticker on the slipcover alongside the other sticker with a VUDU redemption code.

I'm having trouble finding pics of them online, but if you're really curious I can take pics of my own collection.

They were cool but not something I really cared about. I much preferred get a free digital redemption code for high-def episodes.

Yeah, I got the Leonardo zipper-pull in a DVD purchased at my Wal-Mart in SC.

My best guess is that whatever exclusive deal Wal-Mart had with Nickelodeon expired at the end of 2016.

Those zipper pull things were dumb. I gave all three of mine to my nephew, and for all I know he threw them out.

This came with my Walmart-purchased copy of TMNT: REVENGE



I don't have the others as I haven't got the season 4 sets yet

By the way, if they ever make a Donnie backpack pull it would really go well with this Donnie backpack!

Oh I didn't doubt their existence... I just felt it wasn't accurate to state that having the DVDs necessitated having the other item by default. If they're retailer exclusive, that's very much not the case.

I don't remember where I buy most things months/years on out but I imagine most of mine came from Toys Я Us or Target.

No I don't bother with DVDs, I just use ITunes. I don't think they do prizes in DVDs here in the UK anyway.

So it's basically a Keyring

It obviously won't be the last DVD, There will be others.

He always gets the shaft, or should I staff


In all seriousness, it does suck.

The other zipper pulls are not exclusives to any one store.
