I was looking at filling a hole in my collection but the 4kids line confuses me.
I just have a small collection of the first action figure of Donatello related to each new cartoon or movie. I never bought the Japanese, Next Mutation, or 4kids. I'm betting the japanese one is gonna be hard to find in America, Next Mutation is pretty easy, but 4kids seems to have some oddities.
I'm seeing 3 action figures on ebay that might be the first one for the show but I'm not sure which one is it. There are two in the box with different weapon arsenals and one that was out of the box but looked way more like the cartoon than the other two. The loose figure has already sold and I didn't think to save a picture cause I didn't think making an account here would take two weeks to get approved. Is there a resource guide on the toy lines or does anyone know what I'm looking for and how to get it easily? I'm also debating about getting the Flash Forward Donatello. Technically I don't think it was a new series but it might be worth having as an odd footnote. Same with the hoof vs toe TMNT figure. |

This inspired me to check eBay for fun.
Man, I had forgotten how much I love the packaging of the 2003 series. And a lot of good figures are still reasonably priced, even in the package. That's awesome.

They're all the same figure; the variations are only in the packaging. If you are planning to open it, it doesn't matter which one you get. If you are looking for one to keep in package, you will want the first one on that page.

The top one was the first release of that specific figure, or any Donatello of 2003's line.

Just a thought, but does that line have a visible year stamped on the package or figure? That might give some kind of clue to a particular figure's release? (And maybe differentiate between the original release and a later re-release if there was one.) I've often seen eBay sellers include a year with figure listings.
edit: Well I guess it would help answer that if I think to check the one figure from the 2003 series I do own (a recent eBay purchase)...and see that this one does have 2004 on his foot. |
