ugh don't remind me about Monkey Brains. I still hate Playmates for not going full Rockwell and giving him his helmet and wrist things.

I thought that figure was made pre-Mutanimals, but yeah it was a figure that didn't have much of anything to begin with.

He was probably designed before then, but released afterward and if I remember right the packaging talked about his involvement on the team.

Micro Mutant sets for Leo and Mikey have variants. The second version that comes in the wave with Donnie and Raph come in slightly different colors for weapons (same skin color as the other mutant they come with) and backgrounds and no training dummies. Also the one without training dummies you may need to apply on some stickers yourself.

Huh. I found Don and Raph and big Leo micro sets too at TRU. Didn't even look at the small Leo/Mike since I had them already...and didn't notice til home that the new ones lacked dummies. I also noticed for the first time that the one that came with big Raph is actually the forthcoming Fred Wolf style Rocksteady that we have seen low res photos. Perhaps the dummies with these were going to be more "spoilers" like that so they were yanked?

I'm not sure myself, could have been a budget thing or different factories, and one factory was night enough to make an extra static figurine?

I can confirm the Leo Turtle in a Turtle set did not come with a bonus practice dummy.

Playmates said on there Facebook No Classic Figures At This Time . But sure don't let Neca make 7 inch figures for us.

I actually came over the Mutant XL Turtles, and man do they look super awkward

I wonder what was wrong with the regular giant Turtles?

Plus figures in Norway have shot up in price. They went from 100NOK to 160-170NOK (from $12 to $19-$20 for a basic figure). So that's been a huge dampener when a $10 figure at best costs twice as much and the quality is worse with less paint, minimal accessories. At this point it's getting cheaper to buy them online on the secondhand marked.
I wish i did stop buying at 1 wave.the price they are going fore and how hard they are to come by i cant collect both loose and in pacaking.i am consindering if i am gone sell those i have in packing and continue to collect loose or if i just sell them all.if i coued Get a desent offer i think the best woued be to sell them all.it woued be a relif not to go hunting on this line

That's what I thought at first, but that movies been out for a while now, and it's a different toy line too. If it is for OOTS, then that's another thing Playmates has screwed up.

They have been adding those to most of the products that they have been putting out for three months or more. You're Walmart is evidently just REALLY slow to get any new stock.

Playmates are so lazy they'd probably re-release Draco from the 4kids line and pretend that's Kavaxas because they're both red dragons.
