Seems like a good deal. I really enjoy my Revoltech figures. If you've been waiting for an affordable set, it looks like this is your chance.

I almost pulled the trigger on all four of these last night on HLJ but felt maybe I should hold out for loose complete ones ? Good / bad decision ?

If you're in the marked for getting the figures, this is the best deal so far.

If you want these, not buying them from HLJ immediately is an insane misstep. There will never be a better deal. To cop outside of this particular sale is to wind up overpaying for bootlegs.

This. If you hold out for loose figures down the road, this is the likely outcome.

these are pretty great. thanks for sale news on HLJ.

Definitely the best price i've paid for these since release.

IMO, they are currently the best representation of the 2012 turtles so far

What everyone else is saying HLJ is the place to go for Revoltech's TMNT figs.

Got all the figures from hlj
The pieces come off a little easy for my liking but I think the figures are awesome

Normal incandescent light. Definitely not in a moist area. I did wonder about a heat reaction. It almost seems like it might be were they were glued. At least it seems contained to the shells. They still look great facing forward. I wonder if I sent pics to the maker if they could shed some light.

Sorry for bumping this, but I have a question; are there any differences between the reproductions and the originals?

As long as you mean the actual, genuine reproduction versions and not bootlegs... there should be next to no difference, outside of the packaging supposedly.

I would avoid bootleg versions. Only buy from legitimate sites that sell japanese imports.

HLJ has Mikey for 20 some odd bucks and change. They don't have the other 3 on there anymore. But maybe some other sites have them.

What’s the difference between reproductions and bootlegs?

I assume the reproductions they mention are the re-releases from Kaiyodo for their 10th year anniversary where the 4 Turtles and six other figures was re-released as a fan-favorite celebration. The only real difference should be the packaging between the original release and the 10th anniversary release.
