Sadly. It sucks, because I was really looking forward to him. Fingers crossed we get some news at SDCC.

For those wondering about Usagi's ears....

Found Usagi with horse today in Pittsburgh area.
Also got all 4 turtles and both turtles with horses.

This leaves me with Usagi armored left.





....and Muckman

Walmart had all the samurai turtles. No usagi. Really just want him and muck man

[Guile]

I have to say the regular Usagi looks much better than the Samurai Usagi.

Jei is probably canned. I'm gonna say this'll be the last TMNT wave before Rise merch hits next year.

Have any character designs for Rise of the Turtles been shown yet?

Nope. Probably in a few days at SDCC.

Oh, cool. Didn't think about Comic Con.

The summer shorts aren't it?

Noooooo... Those are just for fun.

It's entirely possible that they were pitches that lost out to the concept that became Rise, however. No way to know for sure but it's a pretty safe assumption.

Would anyone be willing to help me procure a Muckman figure?

If you're in the U.S. I can try to help out. I'm still trying to find one for someone else too. no guarantee

Ok thanks. I'm in Georgia. Not trying to impose on who already asked. If you see two at a time definitely, I would appreciate it. If you're looking for any Samurai stuff, I've found them all...horse sets too. Picked up Samurai Leo and Samurai Usagi last night.

...also any new repaints. Basically everything except Muckman.

We still have the monster wave and Bebop and Rocksteady wave coming.
Unless I'm out of the loop and they've been canceled.

[saintsaucey]

I still need muck man as well. Snagged me a samurai usagi but I really want regular usagi

[SilverNinja]

Count me in as a TMNT fan looking out for Muckman. I have had zero luck in finding one and I can't afford scalper prices. I'd be willing to spend $25 on him though (even if opened), but I realize he's worth far more. I was seriously excited for this figure to come out and I'm pretty bummed he ended up being so obscure.

My advice is to be patient. There are probably more Mucks and Usagis ready to be distributed. For one thing, the Target-exclusivity of standard Usagi may be timed and then it'd get pushed out to Walmarts in a few months, too.

For the entire year, I have hunted, hunted, and hunted some more. And hunted again later that night. And then hunted online. I've been in 5 states so far this year, 4 in the past two months, and in each one, again, I hunt.

I have seen THREE total Muckmen in the wild, all 3 of which I bought. 1 for my TMNT collecting friend, 1 for myself to open, and 1 for my carded doubles that I keep.

I have seen ZERO plain Usagis. My friend got me the 1 I have for opener. It's the only one of TWO he's seen, and he's the only person I know who hunts close to how much I do. I still want my carded double of him, too, and I have found 2-3+ of even the rarest repaints (Baxter, Mutagen Man are rarest from my sightings), plenty of Samurais & horses incl. Sam/Horse Usagi, and still ZERO plain Usagis.

There's no way that Playmates only made that many figures, that I will only ever see that few of these with the amount of hunting I do. They're just stuck in the warehouse waiting to be pushed out in waves like all the figures before them, Karai included. It was 6 months before I saw Karai in my local neck of the woods after everyone else was finding them in stores on the coasts. So long that I actually did pay a $28 price to get my first one, I did not have the patience then. But I see Karai everywhere now.

I do think there will be fewer made, because of the line winding down, it's just common sense. But I do think there are more waiting to come. The repaint push was to raise more money on existing sculpts. That funds all the current fireworks. The Samurai push, and the upcoming monsters push. Sprinkled in with all of that has already been some re-issues of old figures, even of the purple carded Stealth Techs. And sprinkled in with stuff yet to come, I say with fair confidence, will be more Muckmen and Usagis.

So, in other words, I know it's hard to sit without one, and I'm freakin' out daily too about the carded Usagi I need to find some day -- but patience, patience, patience. The fat lady has not sung yet.
