April I have come across maybe 4 times out (which is next to 0 for as many places and as often as I check). Foot soldiers I came across maybe twice that. But yeah both not very much. Meanwhile there are tons of Genghis out there around me. Saw one Target packing 6 of them on the shelf yesterday, no lies.

The cardbacks are the same as the ones without a 40th sticker on it. No Rat King or Casey Jones. Someone on Facebook found Krang with the 40th sticker.

These have the 40th Anniversary stickers on the blisters.

The Targets I been to seems to have alot of leftover Movie Star Mike and Storage Shell Raph re-releases. I just got a Baxter re-release, alot of details were left unpainted but I’m planning to use it for a custom anyway. But noticed most of the vintage rereleases are missing paint, like the wrist bands on the Mutatin Turtles for example. Also got the Shredder re-release since it’s a bit different, noticed they painted his eyes differently and tweaked the leg stance a bit. Never seen Foot Soldiers re-releases though, would be a good way to army build if there were more available.

Just seen the Classic 1991 Movie Star figures in Smyths Toys at Beckton - they had the 40th Anniversary stickers on the bubble.

The Super Shredder assortment or the early ‘92 Movie Star turtles?

*Powder* · 04-19-2024, 05:43 PM

Pizza Tossin' Turtles were on clearance at my local Wal-mart for a mere $7 each, so I bought all 3, leaving behind only a spare Leo. Pretty rad. I only ever had Leo as a kid & sold it years later. Guess I'll have to track a Donnie down. I always loved how insane these guys looked, just wasn't huge on the gimmick itself necessarily. Still, $21 for three of 'em, & they look like Big Daddy Roth designed them, can't knock it.

The Playmates IG is (possibly) hinting at reissues for:

Ace duck
Usagi
Metalhead
Hotspot
Scratch
Halfcourt
Wyrm
Scaletail
Antrax

DonnieLaForge · 04-21-2024, 12:43 PM

For the love of God please Hotspot and Scratch.

There's also a 4th image with Robotic Bebop, Robotic Rocksteady, and basic Foot.

Some nice ones there. Casey is coming right? I thought I saw that they announced him too

Casey, Rat King, and Metalhead should be coming soon.

Pleeeeeeease please please please yes. Scratch and Hotspot would be absolutely insane. I just hope if they do them they don't skimp on the paint. Heck, if they need to release them as "deluxe" and put a little money into the production I'd gladly pay $25 apiece for them.

I found the Mondo Gecko re-release and the paint apps looks surprisingly good compared to other vintage re-releases they’ve done. All the same details were painted as the original except I think the multicolor spots on the arms/legs. But the paint apps looked great, I went ahead and got it. Also got the Mutatin Bebop and Rocksteady re-releases since they had them both right there, been wanting to get a spare set of those for custom repaint.

mikey see · 05-01-2024, 07:05 AM

Yeah I saw that Mondo in the store and was actually kind of tempted. The t-shirt "sticker" looks to be a tampo decal, which would be nice since both of the vintage ones I have are peeling a bit.

I did grab the movie star 4-pack for $17.09 from Amazon yesterday. I'm not sure if I'll keep them as I've got the vintage set complete but I've always loved these looks and having "beaters" in a hard plastic would be nice. I know they screwed up the bodies and accessories but whatever, $5ish apiece is hard to beat.

I also have the original vintage rubber figures complete, but wouldn’t mind having a set of the re-releases for custom repaint with brown pads like the movie. I’ve only found “Mikey” in store for $12 (the new card says Mikey but I know the vintage was Mike). Guess I may try Amazon if they’re cheaper as a set. Also on the back of the card they used the vintage Movie Star Turtles pics. The Mikey rerelease feet seem a bit oversized, haven’t compared yet to the vintage. I also have those weird colored bootlegs from a few years ago, been thinking about painting them but haven’t got around to it yet.

Would love a scratch finally. Also I hope play sets are being considered. We need a Technodrome

Is that Krang's android arm in the photo with the foot soldier?

Yes, that’s a prototype of the 11 inch one.

Looks more like the 4 inch one, and I'm wondering if that means a reissue.
