None. Wait until you're older.

Completed my set this weekend after Don and Mike arrived. Funnily enough these 2 were the ones I wanted the most out of the 4, but I ended up getting them last!

Thoughts/comments:
> Mikeys eye joint is a little loose compared to the other 3.
> Don and Mikeys uppermost leg joints, I have difficulty in getting the angle right on these, the pegs are difficult to rotate in the body.
> As many have said, Mikeys chucks are VERY fiddly. I am really surprised Revoltech didn't put some small pegs on his chucks like they did with the other weapons.
> Dons nose has a little smudge of something on it, but I can live with it. Had a go at rubbing it off with my finger but no luck.
> Finally, Raph and Leo arrived no problems, but Don and Mike, I was stung on import duty, had to pay £26 extra which sucked. Leo and Raph had no extra charges. Maybe it's becuase I ordered 2 at once, I don't know?

Here's a few pics I took after opening them. Metalhead goes great with them too!

The 2 new guys!:

Mikey 2 (not quite in focus...):
Spoiler:


Also...for anyone who cares to read further...
Spoiler:
Also, I received another $5 off voucher. But now I have all 4, I don't need it anymore. If anyone wants this voucher for Play Asia please send me a DM. First come, first served.


Love these Revoltech figs, I think they are brilliant! So glad I invested in them, they are pricey, but IMO worth it if you can afford them.

Cheers

Piddy

Finally received 'em today, straight from Japan! Thought I'd take a pic before opening them



Interesting fact: Donatello's box has the same purple as the FW Turtle Van box, and Michelangelo's box has the "Nickelodeon orange"

So is there any way of knowing if they're bootlegs or not?
And is there any place to buy the nonbootlegs?
I still need Mikey & Don and would like the get the real figures.

I bought mine from this eBay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351328602056

The seller still has more units for sale, but the price has since went up a lot.

Bought Don & Mike on Amazon this week and while I did pay a bit more than I wanted to for them I got the real deal versions and got free shipping.
So I'm a pretty happy collector right now.

hate to be that guy, but what's the best place to try and track down authentic ones, for not-too-crazy prices?

I'm in love with these figures. I want to pick them all up.

EDIT: Are the ones on Play-Asia real? Thinking of picking those up

Play-Asia is a legit site and shouldn't have any bootlegs so you should be fine.
