How rare are Gold Shogun Don and Gold Shogun Mike?

I'm thinking Don is the rarest, as I've only seen him on e-bay once. I was thinking Mike was ultra rare, but then I got one on e-bay for a decent price. Any thoughts?

Don is by far the rarest.

From what I have personally seen Leo, Raph and Mike are common. I see them all the time and they never go for more than $15. I have never seen Donatello. I assume he was made since everyone else was but I don't really know.

I don’t believe a gold armor Shogun Donatello was ever produced. There were weapon variants to the silver armor Shogun Donatello, but that was it for the Shogun sub-wave.

VaughnMichael does not mention a gold armor Shogun Donatello on this Flickr page:

Gold Shogun Donatello does not appear anywhere in the 1995 Playmates catalog.

I have yet to see a custom gold armored Shogun Donatello on Instagram either.

The rarer Shogun turtle variant set was like the turtle figures in the 7th basic wave. In the 7th basic wave from 1991, there was Make My Day Leo, Hose ‘Em Down Don, and Skateboardin’ Mike. Raphael was missing from the set.

It would be neat if there were a section in your upcoming book that covered sets missing turtle variants like a Gold Shogun Don in the Shogun sub-wave and Donatello as a different Universal Monster from Dracula for the Universal Monsters series 2 sub-wave.

I do plan on mentioning some of those and why in my own opinion they were never produced.

Would you say that a gold-armored Shogun Shredder should have existed?

Why doesn’t it say “Includes Collector Card and Coin” on the package for Shogun Shredder?
