I personally have never seen this variant before so was surprised when I acquired it. Thanks again.
It was no problem at all. I last saw the 1993 Halfcourt figure with regular accessories at a Kay Bee Toy store in the mall in early 1995. Slam Dunk Don, on the other hand, was one of the most popular turtle variants in the original line, obviously. I even saw an incomplete 5 inch Slam Dunk Don in the red jersey at a children’s museum once in a clear plastic display case. The 1991 Donatello variant was in the middle of two other Turtles figures of which I do not remember had accessories with them or not.

Just asking out of curiosity sake, but anyone have any info on the two different paint apps of the Lieutenant Leonardo? (Not including the 'Classics' remake, of course.)

I assume they're about equally as common(?) since eBay always seems to have them both, but between the brown paint app on the camo or the tan, goes anyone know which one was first before it changed?

I remember buying this figure the first time I saw it, and mine is the lighter color. My friend, who got it later, had the darker color. But perhaps that's only coincidence and doesn't actually answer your question.

That would make the most sense, to me. Like, the first run didn't come out quite right and they decided to fix it.

The brown on the "camo" is so light that it hardly seems like it was intentional. My guess is, it's a corrected mistake.

Hey guys,
I finally got my Diamond select 'The real ghostbusters' figures at the weekend but I'm having a really hard time getting them to stand up. My shelves are high off the ground and don't want to risk them falling off.
The only stands I can see on eBay are for either Neca figures, or small Star wars figures.
Will the pegs be the same size or does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks

There are a few different sized peg holes that seem to be commonly used by the various companies. So there is a good chance that the stands from another line will work. But first you will want to confirm what size peg holes your figures have.

Is it as simple as just measuring it? I'd have thought it would only be a few millimetres...
I have the bootleg Neca 'comic' turtles at home. I'll see if they're of a similar size when I get home.

Thanks tmntman

What is going on with Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Foot Lieutenant Action Figure and Albearto? Can someone shed light? Is it another Muckman small release or just an early wave 2 and people are over excited?

They are part of a new assortment that was timed to hit stores after Christmas. That is a time when restocks of toys tends to be very hit or miss. Many stores may be preparing for inventory and just not restocking in the mean time as well.

Playmates Line Prices

I've been away from TMNT collecting for a while and noticed price spikes of 10x on some of the medium-rare toys in the Playmates line (warrior line, cloth coat undercover) while more popular figures (softhead and movie turtles) have stagnated over the last 2 years.

I am trying to decide if I should sell some of the higher prices turtles in my collection or if everyone thinks prices will continue to rise on rarer turtles?

(Specifically Tyranno Shredder ~$250, White Dunkin Don ~200, Winged Warrior Don ~$125)

I'd sell while they're hot if you were going to sell anyway. I wouldn't sell just because they are high and then later on you regretting your choice.

At first I was thinking maybe he should hold on to them, but your right sell them while they are hot!!! How much longer do we have to wait when we can sell all soft heads for 1k each. It's been 30 plus years. How much longer should we wait? How long will it take? 60 yrs ?

That’ll never happen with the soft heads ever.🤣

Action Figure Grading Case

Does anyone know where to get a case that toy graders use to put in a graded TMNT action figure? Or something very similar? I never had a TMNT action figure graded but I'm assuming they use a case most suitable to not allow damage to the figure

Just a FYI, but I have had NECA figures tip over with the NECA stand still attached to their foot.

What about stands for 2K3 figs? Amy stands from other toys/collection that can be good for 2K3 toys? Cheers!

I think this was rereleased as part of the classic collection and that’s why it’s lacking in paint apps. The one on the right is the rerelease I think.

No, the Classic Collection Military Leo lacks camo paint completely on his legs and no painted L's on the dog tags

So the lighter camo is just a variant?
