I can't believe I'm actually excited for Playmates figures again. I've looked for Muckman, Crimson Leader, and Armaggon the last two days but no luck. Can anyone confirm what these new cases consist of?

I picked up muckman and crimson leader today.

Who else do we have to look forward to, besides usagi? Any new characters? Not interested in all those repaints they showed.

Scalpers man scalpers!
They have hit just about every store in Pittsburgh.
The case has Super Shredder, Crimson Leader, Muckman, Super Shredder TMNT, Tiger Claw, Ninja Kick Leo, Human Karai, Armaggon, Mix and Match Rahzar, Mix and Match Shredder, Mix and Match Dog Pound, Mix and Match TMNT, Spyline TMNT, Monkey Brains, Mondo Gecko, First Release Foot Soldiers, and oddly enough Squirrelanoid.
I believe this is what I saw at all stores that had the new figures.

saw a listing on ebay for a mastermind baxter stockman and a toxic mutagen man. looks like the color variants have started to arrive. their packaging also showed tales of tmnt. damn scalpers are asking for crazy prices.

These are the figures we're getting in place of Kavaxas and Zombie Shredder. Let that sink in.

Thank you! The scalpers did beat me to them then cause I saw several you mentioned and had a hunch they were included in these new cases. Hoping to look again tomorrow.

On another note, the color variants of Mutagen Man and Baxter have indeed hit stores as previously mentioned. Here's a shot of them on IG.

I really don't understand how they make money with prices like that.
Do they just count on people not being aware these are just coming out?
Or is it more for scamming people from overseas who might not find these?

Mutagen Man looks kinda cool but I agree with others, I'd rather be getting new figures then repaints.

Some people are impatient and don't want to wait for these to hit their local stores. Others like the convenience of shopping at home and would rather not waste time hunting for toys, prices be dammed. Either way scalpers take advantage of this, unfortunately.

Are these new cases showing up at all stores or only target? I'm actually interested in MuckMan as well

As far as I seen here in southeastern Wisconsin, I've only see Muckman at Walmart. I haven't seen him at any of the Targets around here. Of course, I stopped looking since I have Muckman.

Some people also live in Canada where they have stopped releasing the nick figures. I still try to resist the urge to get them until amazon has them for a decent price but sometimes holidays and birthdays force my hand.
