I wish I could find a Muck Man or Usagi around here, but I'm guessing they're this toyline's version of 'Scratch'. |

Tokka got an answer regarding the SDCC Usagi Set
no reissues, #Nickelodeon licencing specifically limited this set to just 300+. That's all we are getting ever. #Scalpers win ..#TMNTfans & #UsagiYojimboFans loose. I'm so sorry, guys. I tried so hard ro stay on top of this and advocate for this. From his Instagram.

Found 5/6 of the Monster Turtles (no Monster Hunter Raph) and 80s Rocksteady at Meijer tonight. Also on the back of Rocksteady is 80s Leo in trenchcoat sorta like the old undercover Turtles.
It's a shame this line is ending, because these figures have more detail and paint deco than a lot of the previous Turtle variants. And Teen Wolf Mikey might be my favorite figure in the line. Last edited by useasneeded4pain; 09-22-2017 at 11:43 PM. |

Kinda wish Playmates would have done figures from the Mad Max Episode. I love future Raph

I thought there was going to be an 80s Raph too?

Aren't the Road Rebel/Rebel Road figures based on the finale?
Playmates said those are on hold. |

Spoiler:
Only the promotional art, assuming we're talking about the Road Warriors figures. They kind of look like they could be easily retooled from the Super Shredder turtles so that might make it more likely that Playmates will release them that way, if they get made at all. Speaking of retools, is that all we're going to get of the bad guys from the final season? Tiger Claw, Bebop, and Rocksteady are it so far. Kavaxas, zombie Shredder, and Jei all made it to the prototype stage but we don't have any indication that any of them will end up being released at this point. |

Ah, so those have zero connection to the finale beyond the namesake being a vague reference to a Mad Max-like theme. No loss if they're shelved.
To answer your question, as far as we know, that's it. The playmates rep at SDCC told Pixeldan the line was done, in a video interview he gave.

saw this on my facebook. - seeing they're already coming out, i guess i'll check my targets and walmarts. from what i saw in a toy review on youtube, i forget the channle name, the figures look very well articulated and surprisingly painted. save for their claws. still, no biggy as i plan to coat them with a glow in the dark gel. i gotta tell ya i've never been more excited for TMNT figures since the first wave.

I was randomly searching online and noticed my local Target said Muckman was available to purchase in store, however...he was not available to purchase or reserve online. I immediately called up my store and the employee asked for the "DPCI" number, meaning the number designated to that particular store. The guy looked everywhere for me and came up with the theory that the entire line utilizes that number. Needless to say, I was pretty bummed...but not all that surprised, lol.
However, I did manage to score a decently priced set of the Monsters vs. Mutants set of four monster turtle figures. I HATE resorting to that, but with it being a busy season for me at work, I don't have the time to keep running out to Toys r Us, Walmart and Target to continue seeing disappointing depleted racks. I love the thrill of the hunt, but I just didn't want for these guys to end up like Muckman. I paid $50 for the 4, which included shipping. They are indeed worth that much to me. |

If anyone is still struggling to find the regular Usagi figure, check JC Penneys. I know it sounds unlikely, but I've literally seen him there at 3 different locations in the past 2 weeks. It's also the only place to date that I've ever seen him at retail. I got my original one back in June thanks to a friend on IG who found him at their Target. I did buy an extra at JC Penneys recently to keep carded but left 2 behind at other stores. Keep looking, he's still out there!

I can only imagine how many fans had their hopes dashed by this DPCI system, haha. Seeing the "In Stock" made my heart jump slightly. Still, I had that feeling it was most likely too good to be true. |

I'm having some real strugs turning up those 80's figures. Monsters finally started coming out of my ears but no dice on 80's. Monster Hunters are also elusive. This is the situation deep in the midwest.
