I saw 3 muckmans and I bought them all. 1 for my collecting pal, and 2 for me.

Found them scattered around the metro on a day where I hunted the crap out of every store, as I often do - that's 7 Targets, 2 TRUs, and 6 Walmarts.

I believe IIRC all 3 were at Target. The 1st one I found, was in a hiding spot. I saw the signs of the wave on pegs (crimson leader and, IIRC, ninja action Raph) so I decided to check other aisles in case someone had hid him. He was back behind some Marvel Legends figures on a peg in the next aisle over. I ruined whomever that dude's day was, but the 1st rule of collecting is: when in hand at MSRP, BUY!

Never seen him since. Still suspect we might get some more one of these days, as Playmates cleans out warehouses. Maybe they will start filling in after the Christmas rush on figs? Heck maybe it will be one of those situations where after Christmas stores get big restock shipments, only to put it all on clearance a week or two later ... particularly since they will likely trying to put the TMNT section on a hiatus for awhile! $5 muckmans for all... Who knows, miracles do happen?? :p

PM put out tons of stuff this year. They were probably finding it a stress on their system to push it all out on schedule. They missed some marks...biffed up the chance to sell lots of 80s bebop/rock by getting em out en masse at DVD release, cut it a little too close to Halloween on monsters and Ghostbusters... they may well have quite a few figures left waiting to move on out. Crimson Leader is back everywhere so could Muck be up next?

I was hoping for Halloween 2017 for the Monsters and Mutants set...
They are now here (well, in town) and on there way.
They look like a pretty decent bunch of figures.

Stan just posted that they're gonna have a black-suited Usagi available on their site.

Oooh, that's dope. Wish it had the alternate heads, but it's still worth a buy!

What's worth noting, is even though they shipped in TMNT boxes, there's no TMNT branding that can be seen so far on the packaging....

Not as of this writing. Sakai said they're there and will be on his site "soon" and that's all the post said.

I wonder if he will offer a signed option for an added charge? Does he have an Instagram? I wouldn’t be surprised if over $50.

Okay I don't mean to go all "the sky is falling" here but if that is ALL of them in that picture that means that there are 40 cases with 12 pieces per case making a total of 480 pieces made. Am I understanding this correctly?

We had to go through the cases of Usagi action figures to weed out the damaged ones, and order shipping supplies--boxes and bubble wrap.

Daniel should be posting the toys on the website soon. Sorry I can't give an exact date or time.

There will be various tiers and pricing from the basic unsigned figure, signed and numbered, remarqued and artist proofs.

I hope I can get my hands on this one, if I'm going to pay a premium for a Usagi might as well being a fancy figure.

They should have a damaged tier. I could see buying a damaged one. Especially if the price point was significantly lower.

I'd totally buy a damaged package version. I open 90% of my stuff.
