Sightings in my local Spar and also Debenhams.

How much?
These little mugs are perfect for double espresso's from my coffee machine!

Yep they are perfect for that exact use!

I have word from a friend (yeah yeah, I know "my uncle works at nintendo") who's working advertising for Kinder. Keep your eyes peeled for the next promotion or maybe the one after to be Ninja Turtles Twist Heads. Kinder have done these new eggs that are gender coded, with the blue ones being Transformers, Hot Wheels, Marvel, Avengers, etc and the pink being Barbie or what have you. Next boys set is probably going to TMNT.

No probs mate, I'm excited for these myself. I've been told the full set is the four turtles, Splinter, Shredder as seen in the pic. No idea of the release date, but I'm guessing within the next few weeks as they've phased out the Avengers eggs.

Cool.

Not too sure about the ears though! XD

But that's how the "game" works I think, they battle via their ears?

Yeah, Kinder completely ripped off Kidrobot's "Munny" figures. Yeah, the head has a dial in it, the ears lock together, you twist the bodies and whoever has the highest number wins. Except nobody ever uses it that way and most people just display them as cool little toys or use them for keychains.

Re the Easter egg with mug, if any one sees this can they grab me one for me? And I'll PayPal the cost. Not overly bothered about the chocolate I'm after the mug. The little children's mugs are perfect for my second love - coffee!

The Sports Warrior · 03-30-2015, 08:24 AM

New figures starting to show up on amazon! Got Baxter fly and snake karai, and mystic turtles are there as well. Each cost just a bit over a tenner, but turflytle is still over 20 quid!

Maybe the classic wave 3 will spring up?

Like that'll happen!

Cheesebrush · 04-01-2015, 12:55 PM

Smyth's currently have all the action figures for £7.50 each. I also had a leaflet for £6 off when spending over £20. Meant I picked up all 4 of the LARP turtles for £24 which seems like a good deal.

The Turtle Terminator · 04-02-2015, 10:44 AM

Found all the new Mystics, Bebop, Rocksteady, Baxter Fly and Karai Serpent. All in the 7.49 discount at Smyths. Picked up Karai and Baxter

*Hero* · 04-08-2015, 02:20 AM

The Donatello / Sub set is now doing the rounds for £13.33 on Amazon/Tesco/Entertainer. Good set and worth the Donnie variant alone.

Found Baxter and Karai also. Mystic Turtles are £9.99 on Tesco Direct.

Not sure why Tuflytle is held back. I thought he'd be in the same wave as the Baxter and Karai.

Did he say what the girls/pink set would probably be?

I didn't ask, sorry. I just know that TMNT is probably the next boy's line if not this one, the one after. At a guess, I'd probably say we've got another line of Disney or My Little Pony, judging by licenses Kinder has had in the past. I think Kinder has done TMNT before, back when the 2007 movie was out so they tend to hold licences for awhile, it seems.

*Hero* · 04-12-2015, 09:07 AM

Anything is better than Disney Fairies. I refused to get those for my daughter and imported some Penguins of Madagascar kinder surprise instead.

Oh yeah, on topic! Orange Mutagen Ooze is now £1.50 a canister in Tescos. I am guessing that the golden turtle has been found... Basic figures are also still £5 each.

I actually quite liked the gothic looking pirate Fairy my wife got, but otherwise, yeah, they sucked. and that's very nice about the price drop, been meaning to get more ooze as I had my last canister signed by Greg Cipes, so it's no longer for messing around with.

PM'd you.

Any chance anyone has any idea of what happened to the comic turtles and Henson movie classics?
